Leaving this winter to join Flamengo, the Brazilian right side Danilo (33) is on the last phase of his career. The former FC Porto, Real Madrid and Manchester City player has fond memories of his English experience under the orders of Pep Guardiola between 2017 and 2019. In an interview for The GuardianDanilo admitted that the Spanish coach had had a strong impact on his way of seeing football.
“”Pep Guardiola educates his players. He leads them all to think football in the same way: time, space, movement, possession, balloon management. I was brainwashed on the part of Guardiola, but in a good sense of the word. What I experienced with him allowed me to raise my level and maintain it today. It was not that I was silly before I arrived at Manchester City, but I realized that I was playing football in the wrong way. If I had met him before, he would have greatly simplified my life. I'm so happy to have been able to play under his orders and have been able to learn from him“He said. A beautiful tribute to Pep Guardiola from his former foal.
