"Football, as a fiercely competitive sport, often witnesses intense conflicts both on and off the field. However, it can seem unusual when conflicts arise within a team that is known for its consistent winning record. For instance, during the match where Manchester City defeated Real Madrid 4-0, there was an unexpected clash between Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne and his manager Pep Guardiola, even though they were winning comfortably. A month later, De Bruyne addressed this incident, stating that such interactions were normal for them.

Typically, when a team has a significant lead, both the coach and the players tend to be less intense. However, Pep Guardiola is known for his passionate coaching style, and he remains animated on the sidelines, even when Manchester City is winning by a large margin. De Bruyne might have been frustrated by Guardiola's coaching approach and shouted at his coach during the game, surprising many.

Subsequently, the media made a lot of speculation about this incident, suggesting rumors of discord between the coach and player, alleging longstanding grievances, and so on. However, after a month had passed, De Bruyne finally addressed the situation directly on the eve of a crucial match. He stated that, for him and Guardiola, such incidents were entirely normal. Both of them possess strong winning mentalities, and on-field conflicts do not affect their relationship. In fact, De Bruyne suggested that such passionate exchanges only help elevate the game to extraordinary heights."
