Alan Pardew has been left frustrated by Manchester City goalkeeper Stefan Ortega’s ‘foolish’ decision to suggest Liverpool are not in the best part of the UK.

At the end of City’s 2-0 defeat at Anfield last weekend. Fans at the Etihad Stadium were seen singing ‘Pep got sent off in the morning’.

Guardiola responded by holding up six fingers at the fans, presumably to represent the number of Premier League titles won, before speaking to the media, admitting he had not expected to hear such a song at Anfield. Ortega, who

was given his first league start of the season, was asked in his post-match interview. Whether the taunts from fans would lift his spirits: ‘Maybe so.’ “

Some people have said before that it is not the best part of the UK, so yeah. I think the manager has responded well.” The

32-year-old German’s response has left long-time England boss Pardew feeling disappointed:

“Ortega should not have said that. สมัคร ufabet “It was frustration, anger and pressure that he said something stupid,” the former Newcastle United manager said during his pundit’s role.

“Ortega will regret his words because he will be getting messages on social media very soon. I’m sure he’ll be getting phone calls from higher up at City. “

We can’t take Ortega seriously for what he said, but it was a stupid mistake and it shows you the pressure you have to be under as a Premier League player. Things like this, including Pep doing the number 6 hand sign, is part of football. It can bring out the best and the worst in you.”
