Despite the victory, Pep Guardiola's great concern at Manchester City

Manchester City continues its perfect pace in the Premier League. The citizen team defeated Nottingham Forrest in a match where they ended up winning 2-0, despite the fact that they played a good part of the game with one more man. However, despite the victory that places them as leaders, Manchester City and Pep Guardiola receive worrying news for the following games. All this due to the irresponsibility of a footballer.

One of the great pillars of Manchester City is precisely Rodri. The Spanish midfielder has placed himself among the best in his position and his previous season was so outstanding that some even put him as a candidate for the Ballon d'Or. With few opportunities, that is. Now, in the match against Nottingham, Rodrí lost his temper and got involved with Gibbs, a rival player.

The unusual part of the match came in the second half, when Rodri, in a dispute at the beginning of the aggregate, confronted Morgan Gibbs-White. The argument reached the point where the Spanish midfielder lost his temper and ended up choking the Nottingham Forest player. This action by Rodri earned him a red card today against Nottingham Forest (the first of his career). This action has caused Pep Guardiola significant concern.

Pep Guardiola's concern with City

The expulsion of Rodri, with Manchester City, has caused the footballer to not be active for the next match. However, the sanction for “violent conduct” is a total of 3 matches, which would mean that the footballer would miss the match against Arsenal FC in October. A match that is important for the club's aspirations, taking into account that the Gunners are one of the teams having one of the best moments in the English league. It is difficult for Rodri to be forgiven for this action, the soccer player had the wrong attitude and the red card was deserved.
