PEP
Yaya Toure's agent has unleashed a savage verbal attack
against Pep Guardiola regarding the manager's treatment of his Ivorian
midfielder.
Dimitri Seluk was previously told by
the Manchester City manager to apologise for an interview he gave complaining
about Toure's Champions League omission.
But if there were any bridges left
to burn, Seluk's latest remarks will have turned them to ashes as he not only
refused to give in to Guardiola's demands but offered more scathing criticism.
He told the Mirror: 'Why should I apologise when I am
guilty of nothing but telling the truth? Pep talks about respect. But to
get respect you have to show it.
'Pep is allowing his ego to make
decisions that aren't in the best interests of Manchester City.'
Seluk thinks that the treatment of
Toure is a response to the agent's criticism following his player's departure
from Barcelona under Guardiola.
'This is his revenge. And it is personal, not professional.'
'I think the plan was to humiliate
Yaya - and all the other players who have made history for Manchester City in
the last six years.
'He has given everything to City for
almost seven years. He has made history - like Hart and Nasri - and then they
are treated by Pep like they are nothing.
'Pep smiles at you. He makes you
believe he is your best friend - and then he betrays you.'
The Ivorian's adviser slammed Guardiola's treatment of
experienced players at the club
Seluk claims he has attempted to
contact both Guardiola and Txiki Begiristain to resolve the issue but was
completely ignored by both.
The outspoken agent appears to have
further diminished any chances of seeing Toure play for City again and in one
final verbal barb called for Guardiola to say sorry himself.
'If anyone deserves an apology it is
Yaya, Sheikh Mansour and City's fans - from Pep Guardiola.'
