Pep Guardiola returned to Italy to be interviewed on the historic program ‘Che Tempo Che Fa’, presented by Fabio Faziobroadcast on ‘Nove’ and which has a very good audience. The technician of the Manchester City, who reunited with his old friend and companion Roberto Baggio (both played together for Brescia), spoke of Messi, of the Champions League and also of Barça, leaving some pearls.
pep explained that “I’m fine, sometimes I’m a little tired at work, we all are. But I really like football”adding that “I was lucky in Barcelonathe team of my heart. But I’ve been on three great teams in my career.”.
He spoke of the influence of Johan Cruyff. “I can’t imagine what my life and career would have been like without Cruyff. He taught me a lot on a tactical level, but above all he created me from a human point of view. He was a genius, unique. I fell in love with football”he confessed.
They also asked him about the way to manage Messi when he trained him in the Barça. “You have to know it. It’s easy for me to say he’s the greatest player of all time, but the stars came together at that moment. The strongest? Maybe it’s a lack of respect towards Pele and Maradonabut for me yes. I had never seen someone like that training, you can’t imagine him maintaining this continuity for 15-20 years. When you see it up close, you think of Tiger Woods or Michael Jordan: We were lucky to be his contemporaries. These characters are the Great Beauty of Sorrentino: it is a great title for that team”.
Guardiolawho assured that he has not yet made a decision about his future, was emphatic when finally asked about the rival that he does not want to see even in painting in the Champions League: “Good question. He Barcelonamaybe. The love I have for them destroys me. I was born in a small town nearby, finding each other is never easy”.
