Pep Guardiola remains determined to make history with City. Having won the treble last year and the first Champions League in an English club’s history, they want to continue their dominance in England and are keen to repeat Madrid’s feat and try to win two Champions Leagues in a row. Despite the fact that the Spanish coach has focused his attention on City, in an interview given in ESPN, He insists that his dream as a coach is to lead the national team. experience a great tournament from the bench without favoring any particular team.
“I would like to get experience in the World Cup, the European Cup, the America’s Cup, whatever it is. I would like to see a big competition for the national team. I don’t know when, in five, 10 or 15 years, but I would like to play at the World Cup as a coach. To work in the selection, you must be loved and hired, as it happens with clubs. I don’t know who wants me to work on a team– Guardiola assured, allowing himself to want to coach the national team in the future.
Guardiola also talks about his time at Barcelona, and, as always, they try to belittle his work under various pretexts: “When I arrived at Barcelona, 86% of people didn’t like me. He said: “great, it’s better to come so that everything will be fine from the first day.” I prefer people to doubt and I need them to disbelieve, it gives me the energy to prove them wrong. They always try to make excuses when you win. At Barca it was because of Messi, at Bayern because they always win the Bundesliga, and at City it was because of money.“
The Spanish coach does not want to talk about his future, assuring that with a year and a half left before the end of his contract, it is too early to make a decision, since in football a lot can happen in a short time: “If I do it wrong, I will be at home. I think with us there is time. Now I feel very good, but football changes a lot. I think if you have a year and a half left on your contract, that’s a very, very long time in football. We have time. Winning gives you more energy, and when you lose you are more tired.”
In conclusion, Guardiola wanted to defend Haaland for the criticism he receives when he doesn’t score and compares him to Cristiano or Neymar: “They don’t just criticize Haaland or Guardiola. They hope he doesn’t score 56 goals. They’re waiting for me to fail. It has always been this way. Happened to Pele, Romario, Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Neymar too. If you want to fight it, you’ve lost. You have to think that when the referee blows the whistle, I’m playing and you’re not. “Now I am going to show you that you are wrong and I am right,” Guardiola concluded his defense.
