Phillips, during his tenure at City, played a peripheral role, featuring in only 31 matches for the triumphant team, with a mere two starts in the Premier League. He has now disclosed his most challenging moment at the club, which occurred when Guardiola publicly asserted that he couldn’t train due to returning from the Qatar World Cup “overweight,” a statement that deeply affected both Phillips and his family.
Speaking to The Times, he shared, “After the World Cup was probably the toughest [moment], when Pep came out and said I was overweight. He was right to do so, but there are different ways to go about it. I did not disagree with him, but obviously I took a big knock on my confidence and how I felt at City. And my family were not happy about it either, especially my mum.”
He further revealed, “She got frustrated when I was at City, she didn’t come to watch as much.”
Phillips recently secured a loan move to West Ham in January and has already appeared twice. However, his debut with the Hammers was marred by a regrettable error that led to a goal within two minutes.
West Ham’s upcoming match against Arsenal on Sunday provides Phillips with an opportunity to leave a positive impression. They then encounter Nottingham Forest in the Premier League the following weekend.
