Speaking to ESPN about his former coach, Messi stated: “Guardiola did a lot of damage to football because he made it look so easy and so simple that everyone wanted to copy him.”
“Later I found a lot of ‘Guardiola’ and you understand what we did and what it was.”
Asked if the Spanish coach was the best coach he ever had, Messi added: “Without a doubt, yes.” “He has something special, above all, how he watched and prepared for the matches and how he communicates, because of the way he broadcast it to you.”
Messi is having a good season after a disappointing debut season with Paris Saint-Germain, scoring seven goals and providing ten assists.
