Javi Martinez looking forward to play under Pep Guardiola – Football news
Spanish midfielder, Javi Martinez, is excited about the prospect to play under the legendary http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 coach, Josep Guardiola, who was able to win a record six trophies in a single season when he was in charge of the Catalan club.
Javi Martinez was always a top target for the Catalan coach when he was coaching Barcelona, and now he will be taking charge of a club where the midfield is dominated by the Spanish midfielder.
While talking about the Catalan boss, Javi http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Martinez-c24468 said, “I think Pep is very similar to Bielsa. I love challenges. This last season is almost unbeatable, but everything can be improved upon. I’m sure Pep will work hard and use every hour of the day to
improve on what we did last season. I really want to learn from Pep. My [Spanish] teammates tell me that it is hard and we will train a lot, but we will work with a smile on our faces.”
Javi Martinez’s position in the team is of a holding midfielder, a position where Josep Guardiola used to play when he was a player himself. That is one reason why this position is extremely important for the Catalan boss.
Back when he was coaching La Blaugrana, Josep Guardiola had the option to either play Yaya Toure or http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-Busquets-c33048 and he opted to bench Toure for the young Spaniard. Many were in shock to see a player of Toure’s stature to be benched because of a young
player.
However, the Catalan coach later proved why Busquets was integral for the team. He has evolved into one of the most instrumental players for not only La Blaugrana but also for the Spanish national side.
Busquets’ has shown a lot of promise in the role right behind the centre midfield and right at the tip of the defence. He is the player who tackles the ball in crucial positions and makes the easiest pass available. Moreover, he distributes and rotates the
ball in order to tire the opposition.
With so much to learn from Josep Guardiola, Javi Martinez is definitely going to evolve in the upcoming seasons as he plays under the former Barcelona coach.
