Tommy Fleetwood, a golf star, spoke to the media about his close relationship with Manchester City's coach Pep Guardiola. The Spanish expert is considered one of the greatest coaches and, having been in the coaching business for years, has recorded significant successes. However, what is less known to golf fans, as well as football fans, is that Pep Guardiola is a big fan of golf and enjoys playing it.
In an interview with Men in Blazers, Tommy Fleetwood revealed the details of his conversation with Pep Guardiola, saying that the two often exchange advice, both about football and golf.
It seems that their relationship is really fun and that they both enjoy their friendship, especially on the golf courses.
Guardiola has always been a perfectionist, and even when he plays golf recreationally, he strives to improve his swing. However, Fleetwood does not seem too open in giving specific advice related to this.

I ask him questions all the time [to find out football secrets] and he never answers them because he's too bothered about his golf swing and golf.
Hes the greatest manager of all time. I'm trying to learn things from and I'm getting nothing from him.
And then he goes: Well, you've not given me any advice on my golf game.
And we will just bicker with each other because neither of us is gaining in this relationship!
He is obsessed with golf. Whenever I'm trying to pick stuff up, he is talking about his golf swing!- Tommy said.

Continuing the conversation, the English golfer revealed that he learns from the Spanish expert day by day, not only in terms of football, but also in general about the mentality, beliefs, and approaches, training, routine, system and his professionalism.
