Man City boss Guardiola: Keane is wrong about me

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has rejected Roy Keane's claims his on-pitch talks with his players are "for show".

Guardiola insists he always has important messages to relay to his players in such moments.

"I don't need at my age to do something for the people," Guardiola replied.

"I respect a lot Roy Keane. Sometimes I finish the game and go inside, sometimes I stay there. When I find a player we chat about the game. I know the camera is there.

"At that moment I was outside, wanted to [celebrate] with the fans.

"We chat about the second goal, the miss [when Andre Onana saved his header]. The header [could be] stronger to put the ball in the back of the net with more power. It happened with Erling in Burnley.

"I don't think after the game to go to the players to do some spectacle for the people.

"I could have done it inside, of course. I've done it many times in the locker room."
