Marco Van Basten do not understand P’s decisionep Guardiola to bet Wembley for the ownership of the German goalkeeper Stefan Ortega (30) at the end of FA Cup against him Manchester Utd, although in the end the citizen’s team won the champion (2-1). The former Dutch international is clear about what he will do.
“I don’t think it is professional that you let your substitute goalkeeper play. Because he’s a substitute for a reason,” Van Basten criticized at the ‘Ziggo Sport’ gathering. “It’s a friendly arrangement and I understand it from that point of view, but you play a final and you have to field the best. If Ederson is better then I think you’re making a mistake.”
And he added: “Treating your goalkeepers in that way is very friendly and clean, but if you lose…”. “If you put your second goalkeeper because of friendship, I think it’s a sign of weakness. It can also be interpreted as an offer of strength, an agreement between Guardiola and the goalkeepers, which is also fine. There are tons of coaches do that, but I’m not going to do it.”
