Pep Guardiola responds to Jurgen Klopp comments on "two-week" Covid break

Pep Guardiola has responded to Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp's latest comments, claiming a "two-week" Covid break helped Manchester City succeed in the league title race. When speaking about the Reds' recent poor form, Klopp said they "had not a break" compared to the Citizens that "had two weeks off for Covid reasons". And during the press conference, Guardiola reacted to the German manager's comments, saying:

"He made a mistake, it was two months, three months, four months That's why we're in top four now. Jurgen has to see the calendar again.

We had covid, we had one week, we played with 14 players in Stamford Bridge Maybe I'm wrong and it was two or three week.

Tomorrow when I see Jurgen I will ask him how long we had off. I'm surprised, I thought Jurgen was not that kind of manager, I didn't expect that comment. Maybe it was a misunderstanding. If he sees the calendar he will see it was not two weeks, it was two months."
