Guardiola and Luis Enrique marked Leo Messi
The two technicians we were referring to were none other than Guardiola Y Luis Enrique. Messi praised both of them, especially the first:
“La época de Guardiola fue una etapa extraordinaria. if all. Guardiola comes, with what he taught us and made us grow as a team. Find a generation of players that was unique. It was awesome. Going to play anywhere and knowing that you were going to win whoever it was and in the way that we were going to do it. We had painful defeats, but we had a confidence in training. I regret at that time not having enjoyed it more. You're stuck in the day to day and you don't realize. How Guardiola prepared the matches, how were we going to play the rival. Of everything”.
“Lo hacíamos tan fácil y era tan natural que no nos dábamos cuenta de lo que estábamos haciendo. With the passage of time you realize that this was something unique. Guardiola did football a lot of harm because it seemed so simple that everyone wanted to copy. I found a lot of Guardiola out there, you realize what we did. The best coach without a doubt.. It has something special. to watch the games, to prepare them and to communicate it, por cómo te lo transmitía”.
“Me llamó una vez por la tarde en la Ciudad Deportiva a las siete de la tarde y yo estaba en casa. I went and he told me that he was going to play false nine against Madrid. Let's do this and this. One of the first goals, the one of Henry, it's exactly as he predicted. I always liked being in contact with the ball and having Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets alongside. It was all so much easier. Guardiola era algo especial”, concludes.
On the other hand, states that Luis Enrique Y Guardiola they are very similar: “Luis Enrique es muy similar a Guardiola. Guardiola has something special, but Luis Enrique is similar in the way he prepares the match and reads it. To look for the holes to hurt the rival. had the same philosophy. His team is widely recognized now in the national team. I know what it's like to work with him. Esta selección es lo que quiere él”.
He also spoke openly about that encounter he had with the Asturian coach:
“Yo volvía de Argentina de vacaciones y jugábamos el 2-3 January and I went to the bank. We had an argument that lasted a little while, but later we fix. I am a person who reacts like this, in control nothing. The second I regret not having thought about it more or acted differently. I'm like this. I was never fake and said what I thought and think. I was wrong thousands of times and I will continue to do so. With Luis Enrique I had a spectacular relationship until the last day when we told him to stay, not to go. we were cool with him. Fue una parte de mi carrera muy importante”.
praise Spain
In said interview, the Argentine '10' expressed his vision of the potential of the Spanish team:
“España es una selección que tiene muy claro a lo que juega. makes you run, he gets the ball out and has high-quality players. Spain has a lot of it and they go out to play the same in all games regardless of the rival. It is a young selection, pero tiene las ideas muy claras”.
