Leipzig left-back was with Guardiola at Manchester CityHe claims he was judged on two friendlies and not trustedThere appears to be little love lost between Angeliño and
Pep Guardiola. Having made his transfer to RB Leipzig permanent this month, the left-back has spoken of his unhappy return to
Manchester City in 2019, claiming he was cast adrift on the basis of two pre-season games and blaming Guardiola for not having the courage to put him in the starting XI.
“He killed me,” said Angeliño, one of the Bundesliga’s most exciting players with eight goals and 11 assists, and a key part of Julian Nagelsmann’s team. “The confidence, for me, is everything. And when you don’t have the trust of the coach, it’s everything. I was judged on two games in pre-season, and then I didn’t get my chance for a few months. It’s hard to play one game every two months.”
