Pep’s Fury and the Second Half Plan

Inside the Manchester City dressing room, the atmosphere was tense, suffocating under the weight of Pep Guardiola's fury.

The normally meticulous manager, who thrived on tactical brilliance and perfection, was pacing back and forth, his face flushed with anger.

His words fired off in rapid succession, almost like a machine gun, each sentence sharper and more critical than the last. His players, many of whom were considered some of the best in Europe, sat in silence, absorbing the full force of their manager's frustration.

Pep's high standards had been shattered by their first-half performance, and he wasn't going to mince his words.

Manchester City was down 2-0 to a rampant Liverpool side at Anfield, and it was unacceptable to the man who had spent his career building dynasties at Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and now Manchester City. This wasn't the City he envisioned, and he was letting his players know it.
