Guardiola is too modest, right? I think many Messi fans will also think that Guardiola is a bit too much when they hear such words, right? Guardiola is not great because of one or two players, but because of his natural coaching talent and reading of countless games, he has such a rich personal contract today, and he can be called a generation of grandmasters in football!
Guardiola said in a recent interview with the media: "Messi's coaching career means everything, everything, everything, it is Messi that makes me more competitive. We met together at the best age, and then later success was inevitable. If we hadn't had Messi at the time, we might have won, but we could have won so much? Absolutely not. We couldn't do this well without Messi, because with him I could get so many good contracts. ”
Even with Messi's factor, I feel that it is inseparable from the mutual achievements of the two of them, because there is no Guardiola to strictly control Messi, who does not specify what kind of results will develop when he faces great temptations! In the end, Messi went from a winger to a full-time frontcourt player, from a star to a superstar; and Guardiola also rose from a rookie coach to a generation of grandmasters!
If Messi scored a penalty in the Champions League in 2012, even if Barca did not leave Guardiola in the end, in the end Messi could use a Champions League title to perfectly bid farewell to his mentor Guardiola; you must know that Guardiola has not won the Champions League since Messi, although he absolutely respects Guardiola's greatness, but he still needs the Champions League to prove himself to break the doubt!
And Messi only took a Champions League after leaving Guardiola, ten years ago, the Champions League did not have this status at all, although it is a high honor, but the focus of the team is still in the league, but the status of the Champions League in these years has been deliberately raised, directly to the top of the Champions League.
To put it bluntly, the contingency of the cup is much greater than the league, getting the league at the same time to get the Champions League shows that it is the king of kings, the Champions League without the league can be said to have a greater component of luck than the strength, so sometimes it is not appropriate to use the Champions League to deny Guardiola, and Guardiola has also reached the final after leaving, just a game of win-loss difference.
