The midfielder of the "Bayer" club, Aleix Garcia, shared his impressions about working with the head coach of today's opponent, "Manchester City", Pep Guardiola, during their time together in the 2016/17 season. This interview was published on the eve of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) match between the teams.
A Separate Solution for Every Game
The Spanish footballer did not hide his admiration for the coach's tactical genius. According to him, the most astonishing aspect of Pep is that he prepared completely different tactical solutions for every single game. "He could give players completely different explanations depending on the opponent's pressing and defensive structure. Pep wants everything to be ideal — this is the main factor in his success," said the Spanish footballer.
Obsession and Continuous Learning
Guardiola was described as a person immensely devoted to football. "Every day we would get new information from him. On his team, you either strive to learn, or you could be left behind," recalled the former protégé.
Aleix Garcia called Guardiola a "Manchester City" legend and added that they meet at golf tournaments and that spending time with him is always pleasant. As a reminder, the match between "Manchester City" and "Bayer" will start tonight, at 01:00 Tashkent time.
