Guardiola indicated that the decision seemed to have been made without transparency, stating, "I don’t know the reason; decisions are made behind the scenes." This remark reflects ongoing concerns within the football community about the transparency of decisions, particularly in major competitions like the Africa Cup of Nations.
Guardiola's comments were made in the context of Manchester City's upcoming Carabao Cup final against Arsenal, where James Trafford is set to start as goalkeeper. Guardiola noted that there are no issues with the players' morale, emphasizing that they are happy and focused on the end of the season.
