Pep Guardiola offers advice to journalist after 'offensive' question

Pep Guardiola offered advice to a journalist after what he described as an “offensive” question in a press conference ahead of Manchester City’s Premier League match away to Tottenham Hotspur.
When asked if Spurs fans who want their team to lose to deny Arsenal the Premier League title could make players less motivated, the City boss was not impressed.
I’ll give you my advice, don’t ask this question to Ange [Postecoglou] or the players. Don’t ask that. [The players] will be offended... I never imagined one player, one manager, [who doesn’t] prepare the game to win it,” Guardiola replied.

Pep's reply was gracious.

[@atulofau9006]

This kind of question floating around putting pressure of Spurs' player as if they didn't try to win.
You don't ask that kind of question, it's offending the player,questioning their integrity just because your own opinion.

[@saimalishahid1406]

Not bad from Pep

[@thebugzone2568]

A 38 second clip and you post the reply, question, then the reply. Useless.

[@AbeerPorwal]

[@Ayoubased]

it is indeed a logical question, screw whoever gets offended by that, Football is entertainment for god's sake stop treating it like a noble job where people fight for their dignity or something, its all money and entertainment. Let us enjoy it as viewers and let us know what players actually think.

Questioning players integrity is offensive to those players and their manager.
