What does Capello say on Guardiola say?
Spanish El MundoCapello said he “really appreciated Guardiola as a coach” and credited the 54 -year -old player to have achieved “beautiful things”.
“I have known three football revolutions, about one every 20 years: [Johan] Ajax de Cruyff, [Arrigo] Milan and Guardiola de Sacchi [Barcelona]”Said Capello, whose titles included Serie A four times with Milan and once with Roma, the 1993/94 Champions League with the Rossoneri and La Liga Twice with Real Madrid.
“One day, he came to tell me how I should do my job and replied:” Start running, then you can speak. The fact is that he was walking on the ground, and I had no intention of playing it instead of someone who deserved him more.
“Do you know what I don’t like about Guardiola’s?” His arrogance. The Champions League he won with City [in 2023] He was the only one he tried nothing strange in the decisive matches.
“But in other years, in Manchester and Munich, on the crucial days, he always wanted to be the main character. He changed things and did inventions just so that he could say: “The players don’t win, I win.”
“This arrogance cost him several champions leagues. I respect it, but I clearly see it.
