Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report that claims Pep Guardiola was left ‘fascinated’ by a flock of geese during first-team training at the Etihad Campus in Greater Manchester.
The premier league champions are releasing a documentary on the final 46 days of last season later this week.
Their camera crews have spent the past few months filming exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of City’s third Premier League title-winning season in the club’s history.
And it shows the hilarious moment the Citizens boss became borderline obsessed with some fluffy-feathered friends.
According to The Daily Mail, the series shows how Pep keeps his players on their toes as he continues to come up with new and innovative training methods on a regular basis.
The report adds ‘that Guardiola became fascinated by the formation of geese in flight captured on camera when reviewing drone footage of training.
‘He enthused about their teamwork to performance analyst Harry Dunn and notices similarities between that and how a squad should behave together.
‘Leaders at the front and those who follow dutifully.’
The report was shared on Twitter by City Xtra and it attracted plenty of attention from the club’s supporters, who took to the social media platform to share their thoughts and opinions.

It's interesting how Pep thinks. He finds inspiration from so many sources. Always a step ahead.

The best thinkers can see the principles across many different domains. For example, Kobe Bryant took inspiration from the angles sharks used to attack their prey and applied it to how he attacked defender’s angles.
