Pep Guardiola has expressed how Manchester City's recent struggles have taken a toll on his health, leaving him unable to eat properly and struggling to sleep. Following a 2-0 loss to Juventus on December 11, Guardiola revealed that the stress from the club's form had affected his well-being. The team has suffered seven defeats in their last 10 games across all competitions.
In a conversation with former teammate Luca Toni on Prime Video, Guardiola acknowledged that while difficult times are part of football, they take a personal toll. He admitted that stress causes him to struggle with digestion and sleep, often consuming only light meals like soup at night. Despite his challenges, Guardiola remains confident that the team can recover and believes that overcoming this difficult period will lead to a strong finish.
Guardiola emphasized that while his mood may fluctuate, he remains the same coach who led City to the Premier League title just months ago. Looking ahead, he expressed hope that the team will regain form, especially in the Champions League, where he believes City will be a formidable opponent. Guardiola's next challenge comes with a highly anticipated derby against Manchester United at the Etihad on Sunday, a crucial match to help restore confidence in the team.
