The Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, apologised to Kalvin Phillips for saying that the player was ‘overweight’ on returning from the World Cup in December 2022. The apology comes after Phillips gave an interview in which he admitted Guardiola’s comments had had ‘a big knock on my confidence’. When asked if he regrets his comments, Guardiola said: ‘I’m sorry, yeah, I’m sorry. Once in eight years is not bad, but I’m so sorry. I apologise to him’.

That’s mean of pep, but it was coming philips struggled at city and was only there so the other big guns couldn’t benefit from him and buy him instead
Or Kalvin could grow a pair and hit the gym
Just to educate the little keyboard warrior below, there is this not enough knowledge in physiology/exercise physiology, nutrition, anthropometry or Sports Medicine to be able to judge that 1.5 kgs makes a professional footballer not fit for football.
BREAKING In other news, multi millionaire paid 6 figures a week to kick a ball is upset that a world leading football expert said he was not in the physical standard that was expected from him while receiving millions of pounds
If that was Ten Hag …the media would be calling for him to be sacked immediately.
