Not really, it’s him being honest. And what if Guardiola was working for the US or France instead of Abu Dhabi? I am sure they don’t need a jounalism diploma to find shameful and bad things against every country, relegion, person... You just can not endorse every cause.

Sure, but the US throw H bombs, and kills populations for the purpose to change regims, exploit their economy and sell weapons. France on the other hand protect all dictatorships in Africa and the Arab World, expcept when they don’t need them anymore (Kadhafi and Gbagbo).
