Pep Guardiola Calls Shamrock Rovers For Tips On Winning In Europe
“THIS GAME has given me a lot so I don’t mind giving back, and I’ll help an any aspiring coach I can,” confirmed Stephen Bradley, who showed just how gracious and humble he is by taking a phone call from a struggling coach based in Manchester late yesterday evening.
With his Shamrock Rovers side enjoying a 5-game unbeaten run in Europe, Bradley is the man Pep Guardiola has turned to for advice on how to crack continental competitions as his Manchester City side remain on the verge of Champions League elimination after a 2-0 loss to Juventus.
“Ah no look, he was glum enough this lad Pep, but I told him football is a simple game just get it to Kenny up top and the rest will take care of itself,” added Bradley after Rovers beat Bosnian champions Borac 3-0 last night in Tallaght.
Bradley aware of the fact words from a high-level coach such as himself could have a big effect on an impressionable young coach like Guardiola, the Dubliner declined to point out the Manchester based man wsas using outdated ‘dinosaur tactics’ from 2019.
Keeping him on the phone for close to 4 hours, Guardiola sought advice in other areas including what to do if your team is found to have broken spending rules 115 times and may be relegated to 47th tier of English football.
“Jesus if you had asked me about boardroom squabbles I’d have a book for you on that, but can’t help you there pal,” explained Bradley, who declined to take struggling defender Kyle Walker off the Spaniard’s hands.
