Bruno Lage explains why he was mad at Pep Guardiola over Matheus Nunes – Wolverhampton

Wolverhampton signed Matheus Nunes from Sporting but Bruno Lage admitted to the English press that last season he was annoyed by Pep Guardiola. All because, after Manchester City’s 5-0 win over Sporing in the Champions League, the Catalan manager praised the now-strengthened Wolves, saying he was ‘one of the best players in the world’ .

Lage explains that Guardiola’s praise is deserved, even if the Catalan coach’s words may have increased the market value of Matheus Nunes… “At that time I was angry with Pep because when he makes such a statement, the value of the player increases,” said the Portuguese, as quoted by ‘Sky Sports’.

Then he explains what he thought: “When I want to sign him, I will have to pay 10 million more because when a manager like Pep says something like that about a player, he puts 10 million more on it. “
