Guardiola delighted with Josko: I don’t want to imagine what would be without a guardian. I’m a real lucky man
– There are a few good restaurants here. Before coming to Manchester, I heard various stories that it was not a good city, but I thought it could not be worse than Leipzig. I’ve been to London three or four times, but I prefer Manchester. It’s smaller, there are things to do. London is simply a huge city where there are too many people – the Croatian footballer began.
The English were interested in whether he was going with his father Tihomir for fishing, given that he had previously admitted that his father was dealing with fish selling.
– I only went once with him when I was little. I wouldn’t recommend it to you, I wanted to sleep in the cabin, but the engine was too loud. And the stench and everything … was chaos on a boat.
Interestingly, the Guardiol admitted that he had acquired a brand new hobby, which is why he was nicknamed in the City locker room. Specifically, he likes to fulfill the crossword puzzles.
– I started solving them three or four days ago. Scott Carson immediately gave me a new nickname, which is the ‘King of the Crosswords’. One day, while I was with the national team, I went to the team of teammate Kristijan Jakic and saw him solve crossword puzzles – says Guardiol, adding:
– I asked him what he was doing, and then I started the same. I fill them with an hour or two with a morning coffee. I even did it last weekend on the way to Bornemouth where we played, and then as we returned to Manchester. I became very dependent, ”he concluded.
The Guardiol contract with Manchester City lasts until the summer of 2028, and this season has played 43 games and scored five goals, with two assists.
