Despite the tremendous successes achieved by the coach of the English club Manchester City, Spanish coach Pep Guardiola, known as the “philosopher” in the world of round ball, there is one thing that disturbed his mood, and made him so frustrated that he admitted that even if he won the Champions League, he His eternal club dream, he will not be happy.
Just two days ago, Guardiola appeared completely relaxed after securing his team’s qualification for the quarter-finals of the Champions League, after achieving a landslide victory over German club Leipzig, with a crushing score of 7-0.
Despite the great joy of the brilliance of the player Iring Haaland, who alone scored five goals in the match, Guardiola, during the press conference, surprised everyone with some unexpected answers at all, as he described himself as a failure and said: “I am a failure in the Champions League,” completing his speech that even if He won this championship three times in a row,
he will remain a failure in his own eyes
The most famous coach explained his words by saying that those who have three stars in life are: American basketball player Michael Jordan, golf champion Tiger Woods, and actress Julia Roberts, and they are his absolute favorite.
Guardiola recalled back a little, and said that Julia Roberts visited Manchester only several years ago, and that the period in which the international actress came to the city was witnessing a clear superiority for Manchester City over its traditional rivals Manchester United, and City at that time was the undisputed best in England. Especially in the past five years, and he continues: However, despite this superiority, Julia visited the other team, United, and did not even think of visiting Manchester City. “I went to visit Man United. You didn’t come to see us. That’s why even if you win the Champions League, it wouldn’t compare to the fact that Julia Roberts came to Manchester and didn’t come to see us,” Guardiola says. The hope I felt.
The famous coach surprised everyone, when he pulled his amazing player Haaland from the field, even though the latter had scored five goals, and seemed on his way to increase his personal yield, equaling the number of football legend Lionel Messi and becoming the second player in the history of the tournament to score five goals in one match.
British newspapers accused Guardiola of intentionally withdrawing Haaland, so as not to break the record registered in the name of Messi, but the coach answered an unexpected answer when he indicated that Messi had nothing to do with the matter.
He said that if Halland broke this record at a young age, and scored six goals in one match, then football would become boring for him, and he would no longer have what he wanted to do in the next times, and that this was the reason behind his removal from the meeting. Guardiola described Haaland’s presence in his team as a great gift for him and the club.
