Pep Guardiola’s Conference Postponed…
Manchester City was all set for a smooth sail to sunny Palermo, but alas, their adventure began fashionably late! Their delayed takeoff meant poor Pep Guardiola had to postpone his grand show on the Sicilian stage. Rumor has it, Erling Haaland was so fascinated by planes at Manchester Airport, he nearly volunteered to pilot the flight himself. No major issues for the traveling squad, but as City jetted off, they trimmed the team like a haircut at a poodle salon.
Out of the trip are James McAtee, Jack Grealish, and Stefan Ortega, who apparently have taken up chess to map their futures elsewhere. James Trafford has swooped in to deputize, as Marcus Bettinelli dreamt of better days on the treatment table. Meanwhile, Rodri, the ultimate gym rat, is bench-pressing his way back to fitness. City’s also leaving Foden, Gvardiol, and Echeverri plotting their comebacks at home. When City faces Palermo in their friendly, expect enough drama to rival a high-stakes soap opera—and maybe, some updates on the squad’s whereabouts!
