During the Premier League match, the match was briefly stopped so that three City players could break their fast at the Elland Road Stadium.
It is about Rayan Ait Nouri, Rayan Cherki and Omar Marmoush, and the audience was informed about the short break via the big screen.
Despite this, part of the home fans reacted by whistling. As a reminder, from 2021 there is an agreement according to which players in the English championship are allowed to take a short break during the match to break their fast.
After the meeting, Guardiola made it clear that he was disappointed with such a reaction.
“We live in a modern world, don’t we? You see what’s happening. Respect religion, respect diversity, that’s the point. The Premier League allows a break of one or two minutes so that fasting players can do it. That’s how it is. Of course the players know that. We took some vitamins because Cherki and Ait Nouri didn’t eat today. Nothing more than that. The question is whether they can do it or not? What’s the problem?” said the City coach.
The assistant coach of Leeds, Edmund Riemer, also commented on the situation, who also expressed disappointment with the reaction of some fans, reports Goal.com.
