Watch: Pep Guardiola rants moral values to autograph hunters in cark park

Pep Guardiola expressed his frustration regarding autograph hunters who approach him for signatures near his home. The Manchester City manager, who has been focusing on guiding his team back to their championship-winning form after a difficult previous season, emphasized the importance of respecting personal boundaries. Guardiola thinks that autograph-hunting is no more than a 'nonsense'.

In a commanding 8-0 victory against League Two underdogs Salford City in the FACup City secured a dominant entry into the fourth round, setting the stage for an upcoming clash with either Leyton Orient or Derby County.

Guardiola has also been thrust into the off-pitch spotlight this season after a previous incident where he cut his face in the dugout, which was mistakenly labelled as self-harm.

Pep Guardiola wants autograph hunters to strive for better things 

Pep Guardiola ranted about moral values to the autograph hunters as they approached him for shirts and memorabilia to sign while he walked through a car park near his home. 

In response to the chaos of autograph hunters, City manger conveyed his annoyance during the brief but intense interaction, directly confronting two individuals he suspected were trying to profit by selling items marked with his signature. He urged them to reconsider their choices and strive for better.

"Go to school and prepare yourself guys. You are young guys so don't be here, wasting time,' Guardiola said.

"Do you want to live your life doing this honestly, let's continue to do it. Prepare better. Fucking hell man, this isn't for all the people this is for you."  Pep said.

"What are your dreams? Tell me, what is it? Where do you dream my friend? Practice, f***ing hell, practice. Do you want to live your life doing this honestly ?" he added.
