According to Conceiçao the Manchester City manager did not speak appropriately about Portugal which is a contrast to what he said at the pre-match press conference praising football, the national team and even Portuguese society. “Now I understand what he said in the preview about the weight of the Porto bench, he was a clear example of that. Guardiola's attitude and his entire bench was not at all pleasant. Those who should have complained the most are the members of the Porto bench“, Sergio Conceiçao concluded.
