DE BRUYNE ON CRUTCHES AT BLUES PREMIERE
PEP’S MESSAGE TO BLUES STARS IN BEHIND-THE-SCENES DOCUMENTARY – BUT HOPEFULLY NOT IN THE CINEMA!
CITY stars turned out in force for the premiere of the club’s upcoming Amazon Prime documentary at The Printworks last night.
Pep Guardiola and his players arrived at Vue Cinema at 7pm ahead of the screening of the first episode of All or Nothing: Manchester City.
First-team stars Sergio Aguero, David Silva and Raheem Sterling were among those in attendance, along with club captain Vincent Kompany.
Kevin de Bruyne took to the blue carpet on crutches having picked up an injury to his right knee in training earlier in the day. Initial tests ruled out serious damage to the Belgian’s cruciate ligament, but he could be out of action for up to nine weeks.
Speaking at the screening, skipper Kompany said: “None of us have seen it yet. It’s pretty nerve-racking.
“You don’t know what they’re going to show, the cameras were everywhere.
“You did forget them, but it took a while. They blended in and we got to know the camera crew. They were almost part of the team.
“I don’t know what’s going to come out but one thing I have to stress is we were a squad of 25 and the staff as well.
“It’s impossible to pick someone out and say they were more important than the other. That’s what I’ll remember forever from that season.”
The eight-part series covers the club’s remarkable 2017-18 campaign and will be available to watch on Amazon Prime, starting tomorrow. Another teaser clip emerged yesterday. It showed gaffer Guardiola screaming at players. He is seen bursting into the dressing room before bellowing: “Sit down, nobody talk, sit down.” Pep then says: “Drink water and relax.” It is believed to have been shot at half time of City’s FA cup clash away to Wigan, which the Blues lost 1-0 in a rare slip-up.
It’s pretty nerveracking. You don’t know what they’re going to show
