War of words! In a recent interview with the Spanish newspaper El Mundo, Fabio Capello said that FC Barcelona of Guardiola had
“Damage” in European and Italian football, “Because everyone has spent ten years trying to copy it”. The former coach believes that many teams have lost their identity. But despite his harsh words, he claims to appreciate the Spaniard and recognizes his heritage on the game. Declarations that do not pass.
“Do you know what I don't like about Guardiola's?” His arrogance. The Champions League won with City is the only one where he did not try anything weird in the decisive matches. Every other years, in Manchester and Munich, in key matches, he always wanted to be the protagonist. He changed things and invented to say: 'They are not the players who win, it's me'. This arrogance cost him several victories in the Champions League ”had he let go.
“A big hug”
Present at a press conference this Friday before facing Brighton, Guardiola wanted to answer Capello, concerning his style of management qualified as arrogant, with humor.
“I listen to everything they say about me. All. So be careful! This is not the first time that Mr. Fabio Capello said that. I am not good enough to ruin Italian football. Italian football is much more important than our way of doing things. A big hug to Fabio, a big hug! »»he reacts without putting the oil on the fire.
