Pep Guardiola wanted to take advantage of social networks to better explain the injuries he had on his face and head after Manchester City’s match against Feyenoord (3-3). The Santpedor coach clarified that “in no case” was his objective to trivialize when he declared that he wanted to harm himself about “the serious problem of self-harm” that affects many people.
After seeing how his team, which has now gone six games in a row without winning, let a 3-0 lead slip away at home, the City coach surprised by appearing before the media with some scratches on his face, especially a wound with a little of blood in the nose. “Last night I was caught off guard by a question at the end of the press conference last night about a scratch that appeared on my face and I explained that it was accidentally caused by a sharp nail,” Guardiola detailed on Instagram.
Mental health
The Catalan coach was aware of mental problems and the people who fight against them
“My response was in no way intended to downplay the serious problem of self-harm,” said the coach, who was very aware of the importance of mental health.
“I know many people struggle with mental health issues every day and I would like to take this moment to highlight one of the ways people can seek help,” she wrote.
Guardiola’s text ended by adding the telephone number of the Samaritans hotline and the contact email of this association that is dedicated to listening to people.
