Pep Guardiola when players aren't playing: "What they have to do is two things. Don't complain or there will be a problem. And try to do it better and better [in training]. Nobody has a guarantee with me. They have to earn it. It's simple. They take it personally but we are not against them, we just need something [different] and try to use it."
Ruben didn't play for two months and just got on with it - no tweets, nor social media bleats. That shows deep respect for the team mates who have been chosen, and it shows that no matter how good you are, you are part of a world-class squad and have to earn it. When you grab that spot back, you have the respect of everyone. This man has EVERYONE'S respect.
