The Spanish coach of Manchester City, Pep Guardiola, expressed his sorrow for what is happening in the Gaza Strip, which is drowned in destruction and death since the day following the events of October 7, saying that this war “hurts my entire body” in a touching speech during his honor from the University of Manchester.
The 54 -year -old went out with this speech on Monday during a ceremony honoring an honorary doctorate from Manchester University, adding, according to excerpts published on social media, “What we see in Gaza is very painful, it hurts my entire body.”
He continued, “Let me be clear, it is not a matter of ideology. Not about whether you are right or wrong. It is only about the love of life, and interest in your part. ”
“We may think that we do not see the killing of boys and girls at four or five years of age with a bomb in a hospital that is no longer a hospital,” Guardiola continued in his speech. Well, there is nothing wrong, think as you want. (Consider that) this does not concern us. But beware, the coming may be for us (our children). The fourth or fifth children will be for us. ”
“I apologize, but I see my children, Maria, Marius and Valentina when I see every morning, since the nightmare started, the children of Gaza, and I am very afraid,” he said.
The Spanish obtained an honorary degree from the University of Manchester for his unprecedented success in Manchester City, where he won six titles in the Premier League, in addition to his work through the “Guardiola Sala” charitable Foundation.
