Fleetwood gets pep talk from Guardiola

-

saint-quentin-en-yvelines — Ryder Cup rookie Tommy Fleetwood will hope a message of motivation from City manager Pep Guardiola can spur him on to success for Team Europe this week.

Fleetwood, introduced to Guardiola through a mutual friend, was on a Cheshire golf course with the City coach when his side were crowned Premier League champions following Manchester United’s defeat by West Brom.

The pair then struck up a partnershi­p at Wentworth for the celebrity Pro-Am event in May, and Guardiola has shown his support for Fleetwood. “We all have these videos in the room, these motivation­al videos, and he was one of the guys that sent a message to me,” Fleetwood said. “I’m not sure he’s coming over. I’m sure he’s busy at the weekend but he might make it over. But yeah, we always talk quite a lot.” —
