“Barcelona would not be the same without Guardiola” – http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 finds time to hail his coach
The Argentinean maestro and the best player in the world, Lionel Messi has taken out time to praise the Catalan boss Josep Guardiola.
While all the other players in the Catalan team have applauded to the efforts of the Catalan boss, now Lionel Messi has been added to the list of admirers who believe that Guardiola is one of the best coaches in the history of Barcelona.
Last season, the club captain http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Carles-Puyol-c8331 said in an interview that he wouldn’t want Josep Guardiola to leave as he completes the Barcelona team. Later, Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta spoke in favour of Guardiola as rumours said that the Catalan boss
might join the Premier League side http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786; especially after Carlo Ancelotti failed to impress at Stamford Bridge.
Later it was seen that Josep Guardiola extended his contract for a year and decided to stay at the Catalan club. In a matter of three years, Josep Guardiola accomplished what many other coaches simply dream of accomplishing.
The Catalan boss helped Barcelona win three Spanish La Liga titles along with two UEFA Champions Leagues. Moreover, Josep Guardiola also managed to win the FIFA Club World Cup, the Copa Del Rey, the European Super Cup and the Spanish Super Cup.
In just a matter of three years, Josep Guardiola managed to win twelve trophies. This takes him to become the best coach in the history of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 as the former coach Johan Cruyff helped Barcelona win eleven trophies in his reign. However, Guardiola has
outdone everything which Cruyff brought to the club and he managed to do it only in a matter of three years.
Lionel Messi believes that Josep Guardiola is one of the best coaches and he was quoted saying:
"Barcelona would not be the same without Guardiola."
He further added:
"I would never change Barcelona for anyone else."
Messi has simply not performed at the same level while playing for the Argentinean national team and that simply explains that the services provided by Andres Iniesta and Xavi Hernandez are simply not unnoticeable. The Argentinean maestro praised his Barcelona
team mates along with the Real Madrid star http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629; who managed to score more goals than Lionel Messi in the Spanish La Liga last season. His goal scoring tally in the league also helped him win the Pichichi award which is given to the highest goal
scorer of the league. He had nothing but praise for Cristiano Ronaldo, Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta as he said:
"Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the best in the world, alongside Xavi and Andres Iniesta."
Barcelona are often involved in a brawl with the Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho and Lionel Messi said:
"I don't pay much attention to what he [Jose Mourinho] says."
Barcelona drew their fixture against Real Sociedad over the weekend and Lionel Messi was left on the bench as the Catalans are going to face AC Milan in the group stages of the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday.
