The Catalan tactician has downplayed all rumours suggesting that his relationship with the Argentine international has deteriorated.
Barcelona’s outgoing head coach, Pep Guardiola, has dismissed all reports hinting that his association with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 has become complicated over the course of the current season.
According to several Spanish sources, Guardiola was reported to have complicated his affinity with the Argentine star and it was rumoured that the duo no longer share the bond that they did back in the day.
However, the soon-to-be-former Blaugrana manager has completely dismissed all such claims.
In addition to Guardiola’s views, many believe that such speculation is just plain ridiculous, as the two men have always been known to share a rather healthy and friendly relationship.
In fact, the Catalan mentor is actually known for his understanding and care for his players; however, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zlatan-Ibrahimovic-c38029 is likely to contradict strongly to the above statement.
Regardless of what other people or even footballers say about him, Pep was always seen as a happy man whenever he was around the Barca number 10.
The two men have always offered praise to one another and it is certainly strange to come across rumours that suggest otherwise.
Leo Messi, being the humble superstar that he is, has always mentioned his mentor’s name with great respect. The Argentine national captain was never short of admiration for the Spanish tactician and always paid his gratitude to the man who nearly based
all his tactics in accordance with the 24-year-old.
So much is the love between the two men that the Ballon d’Or winner refused to show up for Guardiola’s farewell press conference.
While discussing his relationship with Messi, the 41-year-old told reporters:
"I get along with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Leo-c22011 as naturally as I have from our very first day together. All of these players just want to win and do good work, and I have been privileged to have been their coach."
The player who was given his first-debut by Frank Rijkaard has always enjoyed the management of Pep Guardiola, and it will be quite interesting to see how he copes with his absence.
