Ex-Manchester City footballer Gael Clichy said City manager Pep Guardiola termed Manchester City as a team full of fat players, while interacting with the team's footballers in 2016. "Guardiola said, 'I've been watching you for a year'," added Clichy. Talking about Guardiola, Clichy stated, "If you weighed two kgs more than what he considered your maximum weight, you didn't train."
