Lionel Messi said Pep Guardiola changed football and harmed it
Argentine striker Lionel Messi praised coach Pep Guardiola’s contribution to football. His words are reported by Marca.
“What Josep has done with football is fantastic. He changed it, but not only in Spain, but in Europe and the world in general,” said the forward. At the same time, he added that Guardiola harmed football. Messi said that many are now trying to imitate the coach, instead of developing their own path and style.
Guardiola has been working at Manchester City since 2016. In the 2022/2023 season, the team under the leadership of the Spanish specialist achieved a treble, winning the English Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup. FourFourTwo named Guardiola the best active club coach in the world.
Guardiola also previously worked with Barcelona and Bayern. Together with the Catalan club, he won the Spanish Championship three times and won the main European Cup tournament twice.
