Present at a press conference this Friday, Pep Guardiola spoke about this poster against the Reds. A match always disputed for several seasons when he faced Jurgen Klopp. The Catalan technician did not fail to pay tribute to the German whom he considers to be the greatest rival of his career.
“ If I had to choose a rival, I would hesitate between several, but Liverpool would be the best. I’ve been here longer than most in this country, and the impact this club has had on my life is immense. Barcelona is my heart club, and Bayern were incredible, but Liverpool have been my biggest rival in England, and especially with Jürgen Klopp, it’s just perfect. Look, if I had to choose a rival to share this milestone of 1,000 games as a coach – personally, because I obviously would like to share it with a lot of people – it would be the best choice (Liverpool)… Especially with Jürgen (Klopp), who has been the biggest rival in this country. Honestly, we couldn’t have asked for better. Destiny has decided it this way,”
he said.
Guardiola charges Arsenal
At the start of the season, it is Arsenal who dominate the debates in the Premier League. The Gunners are at the top of the standings with 25 units including 6 points ahead of Manchester City, the runner-up. The London club impresses with its offensive efficiency but above all with its defensive solidity.
However, Guardiola did not refrain from warning the Londoners at a press conference. “ All we can do is win our games and stay close to the goal. They (Arsenal) have to come here. After two or three years of rebuilding the club and the team, and after looking for a long time to recruit, they are here. What they are doing, and what they have already accomplished over the last two or three seasons, is exceptional. But it’s early November, and early November, no one wins the title. » The message is clear.
