Despite this vacuum passage, Catalan still stands out as one or even the best coach on the planet. The former FC Barcelona marked his time and appealed to the greatest observers on the planet.
Nevertheless, the current strong man of the Citizens did not only have supporters. Questioned by El Mundoformer Italian manager Fabio Capello admitted that he was not a fan of Pep Guardiola.
“” Do you know what I don't like at Guardiola's? His arrogance. The Champions League he won with City is the only one where he has tried anything funny in decisive matches. But every other years, in Manchester and Munich, during key days, he always wanted to be the protagonist. He changed things and invented them to be able to say: they are not the players who win, it's me. And this arrogance cost him several champions leagues. I respect it, but for me it's clear. Besides, even if it is no longer his fault, he did a lot of trouble in football. he said in a sincere way.
Before continuing his remarks on the triple European champion (2009, 2011 and 2023): “Because everyone has spent ten years trying to copy it. It ruined Italian football, which has lost its nature. I said: Stop, you don't have Guardiola players! There was also the absurd idea that it was all that there was to do to play well. (…) A disaster and also a boredom that made a lot of football people flee, they just have to look at the highlights, why are you going to look at 90 minutes of horizontal passes and passes without fight, without race …? Fortunately, football is changing. First of all, Spain changed it by winning the European championship with two wingers and playing quickly. »» The message is clear and should surely make the principal interested react.
