The Brazilian full-back recently spoke about his former boss, Josep Guardiola, and believes that the reason why he left the Nou Camp is because the players were not performing up to the mark.
The Barcelona full-back, Daniel Alves, has still not fully healed his wounds which were left open when Josep Guardiola departed from the Nou Camp.
The Catalan boss can be easily regarded as the best coach in the history of La Blaugrana, and that is one of the reasons why all the players miss him at the Nou Camp.
While recently giving out an interview, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-c9879 Alves blamed all the Barcelona players for the departure of Josep Guardiola.
During his last season, Josep Guardiola was not able to impress as much as he did in the first three.
While coaching La Blaugrana, Josep Guardiola helped them win 14 trophies in a matter of 4 seasons, and that is definitely a feat which no manager in the world can accomplish.
However, in his last season, Josep Guardiola showed his vulnerable side and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 were not able to perform the way they usually do.
It is true that there were injury problems, but the Catalan boss had his backup plan working perfectly well, until they lost the Champions League semi-final against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 and the Spanish La Liga at the hands of their arch-rivals, Real Madrid.
Daniel Alves spoke about how the players did not perform the way Guardiola wanted them to and that caused the coach to leave.
“Pep said he would leave when the players were no longer responding to him.”
“We didn’t respond to him on the pitch as he’d have liked and that is why we players feel responsible for his departure.”
After the departure of Josep Guardiola, the Catalan club decided to sign Tito Vilanova in their team and the Catalan boss is doing wonders for them.
While playing under Vilanova, Barcelona are currently eight points above their arch-rivals, Real Madrid, and they are also topping their group in the UEFA Champions League.
La Blaugrana will be playing against Real Zaragoza in their upcoming Spanish La Liga match, and the Catalan giants are favourites to win the game as they are yet to lose a single match in the domestic league.
