Pep Guardiola took advantage of the press conference ahead of Manchester City-Newcastle to make a strong speech about the conflicts and problems that affect the world, far beyond football. Asked about his position in defense of Palestine, the coach criticized the violence, also referring to Ukraine, other global conflicts and even the political situation in the United States.
The Catalan technician stated that there has never been as much information available as there is today and that, even so, genocides and murders continue to occur in various parts of the world. He said he felt deeply affected by the deaths of thousands of people, stressing that violence is unacceptable regardless of the side.
Guardiola argued that killing to impose ideas cannot be justified and left implicit criticism of world leaders, including Donald Trump. He concluded by calling for the protection of human life, remembering that, if humanity can achieve things like reaching the Moon, it should also be able to save lives instead of destroying itself.
Guardiola vented about the global humanitarian crisis during a press conference. It’s worth listening to.
