After Mendy was contrasted to a personality on a chart of Conguitos the Football Association composed to City – .
“There are lots of situations with white people where a cartoon will look like,” Guardiola said. “The answer from Mendy has been apparent. They’re joking all of the time.”
The post was published at 12:44 BST on Sunday but was deleted in 13:30, even though Portugal global Bernardo later tweeted:”Can’t even joke with a buddy nowadays.”
Silva, 25, played the entire 90 minutes of City’s 3-0 win at Preston in the Carabao Cup third round.
Guardiola said:”Bernardo is still one of the most beautiful people I have met in my entire life. He speaks four or five languages – that’s the perfect way to understand he is.
“Among his best friends is Mendy. He’s just like a brother. He took an image of Benjamin if he was young and connected it with this animation, quite similar for the picture.”
“If they (the FA) need to do this (speak to Silva), Bernardo is going to be available to talk. But you have to know which individual you’re talking about.
“If something happens it will be a mistake since Bernardo is an outstanding person. It is nothing to do with colour of skin or nationality.”
