Premier League
Carragher picked up the gauntlet thrown down by Guardiola and left City cash-strapped
Pep Guardiola threw down the gauntlet to Jamie Carragher by suggesting he had not won a league title during his playing days, and the veteran Liverpool full-back and current presenter picked up on this and criticized City’s dominant style.
The draw between Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday evening was full of goals (3-3) and spectacle for Premier League fans, but at the same time it also sparked a battle, with Pep Guardiola on one side and the TV commentator duo Neville – Carragher, on the other hand.
The reason is the opinion expressed by both that the English and European champions have won three draws in a row due to their… complacency, with the Catalan rejecting this opinion and embarking on a frontal attack.
“We won three championships in a row and Gary Neville knows how difficult it is, otherwise he would have won the Premier League four times in a row in Manchester United’s best season. But he did not do it.
Jamie Carragher hasn’t won a single championship title. said the three-time defending Champions League champion, among others, with Carragher annoyed by Guardiola’s scathing reference to the fact that he had not been crowned champion in his 17 years at Liverpool (1996-2013) and went on the counterattack.
“I think we probably would have won a championship if a nation state had owned Liverpool and pushed the regulations so that the Premier League would have charged us 115 points.”Carragher replied, with Neville for his part… coming into the game sideways, Guardiola not answering directly, preferring to tease his friend Jamie Carragher via a Tik Tok video.
“We’ll start, of course, with Lord Pep saying that me and Cara haven’t won four league titles in a row. Sorry Pep, I apologize for that and for my friend James not attending the Premier League title celebrations with Liverpool, which makes me laugh slightly.
But Carragher had to answer to Pep, didn’t he? He couldn’t allow it and took it as a compliment and told him that if a nation owned his team they would change the rules to win a Premier League.
Cara, I think you would have won a Premier League title if you hadn’t kept putting the ball into your own goal! That would be a big help for your team!”
