Former Manchester City player Gael Clichy has opened up on Pep Guardiola’s strict training standards.
Pep Guardiola is considered one of the greatest managers in football history and is known for his high standards. Gael Clichy spent six years at City, having spent eight years at Arsenal, where he worked under legendary manager Arsène Wenger.
The Frenchman, who was part of Guardiola’s squad for a year before his departure, was asked to compare the two figures and told Tivibu Spor: “Two different generations. Arsène had two assistants and a goalkeeping coach. Pep had eight or nine coaches working with him.
“Today, the details are very important. In the past, if you had the best player, you won most matches. Clubs with smaller budgets tried to make it harder for big players. You had to take care of your health, your way of life. You had to sleep well, eat well, work well. The money spent by the club is very important in today’s football.
“Pep Guardiola had strict rules, but that’s very normal. For example, if you were two pounds heavier than normal, you weren’t training! You were just running around and working away from the team. »
