Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola has been captured in a viral video admonishing a group of young autograph seekers, expressing frustration over their repeated requests and urging them to focus on their education and future aspirations.
In the footage, Guardiola is seen addressing the individuals, stating, “Don’t come again, I won’t tell you again. I know your faces.” He continues, “Go to school and prepare yourselves, guys. You are young guys, so don’t be here wasting time. Do you want to live your life doing this, honestly?”
One of the individuals responds, “No, I used to be a chef,” to which Guardiola replies, “Let’s continue to do it. Prepare better. F****** hell, man, this isn’t for all the people, this is for you.” He then inquires, “What are your dreams? Tell me, what is it? Where do you dream, my friend? Practice, f****** hell, practice.”
The video has garnered significant attention on social media, with many fans praising Guardiola’s stance and his emphasis on the importance of pursuing one’s dreams and education over seeking autographs for potential resale.
This incident highlights the ongoing issue of professional autograph hunters who often seek signatures not out of genuine admiration but for commercial gain, a practice that has been a point of contention for many public figures.
