Manchester City is one step away from winning a place in the next stage of the Champions League. Before Wednesday’s match against Paris Saint-Germain, Pep Guardiola commented on Messi and what to expect from the match.
“We will have our first game with qualifying chances. Ensuring this is very good for the club and for the players,” Pep said at a news conference.
“Sometimes he [Messi] he doesn’t have the ball and he doesn’t know what he’s going to do, and you have to think about what he intends to do, I need to explain to the players. That happens with Mbappe, Neymar, Di María. Each of them could be the star of any team in the world, but the four are on the same team. I’m very happy for him [Messi] still be playing with that quality. It will be fun to face him again. Everyone knows the quality and personality that PSG has,” he added.
Since 2016, ahead of citizens, the Spanish technician has a contract valid until 2023. The renewal of the contract was due to a very important detail that is part of Manchester City.
“One of the reasons I extended my contract twice is because Txiki [Begiristain, diretor de futebol], this one. I met him when I was 19 years old. We are close friends, we work together incredibly well. When we win, we analyze why, when we lose, we analyze why. We do not judge”, declared Guardiola.
City and PSG enter the field at 17:00 this Wednesday, for the Champions League. The tie gives the spot to Guardiola’s team. In addition to this possibility, the team also advances if Brugge does not beat RB Leipzig.
