Mateo Kovacic spent 5 great years at Chelsea, winning 4 trophies including the Champions League. But, a bit like Thierry Henry when he joined Pep Guardiola at FC Barcelona, the Croatian midfielder has the impression of rediscovering football under the orders of the Spanish tactician. “It’s amazing and difficult because I’m learning a lot of new things and I would have loved to come earlier to learn. But it’s never too late to learn. I think like that. So I’m happy to be able to learn from him and what he tells me.”he explains, in comments reported by the Daily Mirror.
“I wish someone had told me all this a few years ago. But yes, now I can still learn and you can really say it’s fantastic. I really enjoyed it from the first moment. It was difficult the first days to understand what he wanted: don’t move there, go there. I really like running on the field. But he told me: ‘be calmer, don’t run too much’. So it was like a little surprise for me and it’s nice”, he detailed. Clearly, Pep Guardiola is still popular with his players!
