Dressing-room mole upsets Bayern Munich
boss
Bayern Munich boss Pep Guardiola says a dressing-room
mole is "damaging" the 25-time German champions, after details of an
alleged row were made public.
German
newspaper Bild claims Guardiola was angry with Bayern's medical team after
Tuesday's Champions League semi-final exit to Atletico Madrid.
The
Spaniard is alleged to have accused his physiotherapists of taking too long to
get his players fit after injury.
"Whoever has spoken has done it to hit
me," said Guardiola.
The former Barcelona boss is leaving Bayern
in the summer to take over at Manchester City.
Bayern
will win a third successive Bundesliga title under the 45-year-old if they win
at Ingolstadt on Saturday.
When asked at his news conference on
Friday, Guardiola did not deny a row had happened.
" Usually
what happens inside the dressing room remains inside the dressing room,"
he said.
"But I'm not here next season anyway
so it's not my problem, but Bayern's.
"It's
happened plenty of times over these past three years.
"It's normal for me to talk to my
players and staff and give them my opinion, but there are people here who are
talking because they want to hurt me.
"Maybe
this person will still be here next season and clearly they haven't realised
that they are not damaging me, but the club and the team."
Guardiola
won the Champions League twice with Barcelona - in 2009 and 2011.
"I've
done my best here," he said of his time at Bayern. "But if you say
that I had to win the Champions League, then I have failed. "Go ahead and
write that I have failed."
