Joezinho:


He had the most glittering generation of La Masian stars at his disposal, and definitely they did have a major role to play on his success.. Apart from shifting Messi in the center, he has not showed any tactical nous..

Rijkaard was the person who had formed the football philosophy..

andrewbaba44:


They aren’t in a mess .

TFLASHOGEE:
same way I don't believe they where a mess when blue font labeled them a mess I just want make you confirm first before we kuku tag Dem messy

andrewbaba44:




Mess team wey come second and third before pep season .

Karlovych:
The SE have a friendly match against Mexico in 3 weeks and the clowns at NFF are yet to appoint a coach, I don't know why some of the leaders in many sectors of the country are so useless.

I wasn’t brought to Manchester City to win Champions League, says Guardiola

Pep Guardiola believes Manchester City have already achieved their aims by being contenders in every competition, insisting he was not brought to the Etihad Stadium to win the UEFA Champions League.

Manchester City’s wait for European football’s top club prize will go on after they lost 6-5 on aggregate to Real Madrid on Wednesday following an incredible semi-final collapse.

But in a lengthy response to a question about his players’ chances of ever winning the competition ahead of Sunday’s Premier League game against Newcastle United, Guardiola had much to say.

He explained how the club view success differently from “the people” on the outside.

“I don’t know [if this team can win it],” he said. “It’s a question I cannot answer. Before Madrid, I did not know if we were able to win it.

“I don’t have an answer to all your questions. Football is incredibly unpredictable –— we saw it.

“This is my feeling, maybe I’m wrong: Abu Dhabi didn’t buy this club and invest in these incredible facilities, invest in players, like a lot of other clubs in the world, to be what we lived the last years.



“It’s not to win just the UEFA Champions League. They did it to be there in all competitions, in every season, compete, compete, compete until the end.

“We will try again next season. It will be difficult because the teams are good. I know the people want to be in that way, I accept it from day one, I have to handle it, but it’s not a problem for me.”

Guardiola insisted he “cannot live” for European glory alone –— and suggested Manchester City would be criticised even if they did win the UEFA Champions League.

Asked if the defeat gave him added hunger, he replied: “No, always I am starving.

“I know the people outside here demand Champions League, Champions League, Champions League, we know it, but I cannot live [just for that].

“The moment we win the Champions League, they’ll say look at the money we spent. If not, they spent all that money and didn’t win the Champions League. We are the only club in the world in the last 10, 15, 20 years who spent money.”

andrewbaba44:


Has any team even win 18 games in a roll ,even Bayern no do am for bundesliga

TheGoodJoe:


Rijkaard was sacked because of how poor the team was. Just get it. Sacked for being too poor. Guardiola took that team and made them the best team in the history of football.

Just do the maths. That is beyond belief.

andrewbaba44:


As usual trying to run away after I exposed him

Barca was built with what ?

Busquets pique Pedro Thiago alcantara Keita mascherano all cost 1 billion together

Wetin I talk about mourinho na lie abi Na true

komekn:


Players don't pick teams the team picks you .

Arsenal are looking at a plethora of top striker's and so this a a bit premature as well as he is way over priced in my opinion £100 million.

Italian Mafia at work with his transfer fee.

TFLASHOGEE:
baba me self reason am say how can a messy team finish third yes guardiola did well at Barcelona but say he took them from being a mess I know fit accept that one na why I say make you confirm first

Joezinho:


Thank GOD you are attesting to the fact that Bayern, where your Apariola ran to and ran out like an onigbese that sighted his creditors , is competing in a one way street league.

Joezinho:


Trust me Andy, even if you are made the coach of Barca that had prime Messi, xavi, iniesta , and busquet , you go win titles tire.

Barcelona could have played even without a manager and win what they won during Apariola's era..

Puyol who was one of the best defenders in my opinion, could have directed them on the pitch that's all.

andrewbaba44:


Meaning Bayern was far ahead of other bundesliga team and couldn’t do that ,but epl where they have strong competition he easily did that ,what should that tell you

andrewbaba44:


How come they didn’t win the so called titles 2 years before guardiola arrived

Same busquets that pep promoted from Barca b

mostob:
comrade, I see what you did there. See as you turn two fans against each other

Use this hold body Comrade...you too Sabi

Joezinho:


C'mon bro. Rijkaard rejuvenated the team. Rijkard was just too good, and he couldn’t handle the atmosphere in the dressing room and perhaps trusted some players too much. All combined led to his dismissal...

The Dutchman did so much for Barca in a period when the team was living the worst part of it's history (remember the 15th place in December 2002!)

BascoVanVeli:



He needs to stop the cap. So Man City wasn't competing in every competition before he got there

Man City ruined Pellegrini's final season for Pep to come and put them in the exact position.

Joezinho:


Tells me he's a local champ. .

Bayern had been proving themselves in the big stage before Apariola went there. They were defending champs and he made them look silly in the UCL before fleeing like a cursed witch.

Thank God bayern are still proving to Apariola he's a mistake.

Joezinho:


Didn't rijkaard win titles with Barca? Didn't he win UCL? Rest biko.

TheGoodJoe:


Sacked for performing poorly. The team was in shambles before Guardiola. Do not worry, I am not telling you something I read. I followed the team passionately and watched almost all games that time. It was a disaster.

Guardiola rejuvenated a disaster.

Joezinho:


Tells me he's a local champ. .

Bayern had been proving themselves in the big stage before Apariola went there. They were defending champs and he made them look silly in the UCL before fleeing like a cursed witch.

Thank God bayern are still proving to Apariola he's a mistake.

Joezinho:


Guardiola reaped the benefits of Rijkaard's reign.

andrewbaba44:


What about your special one being sacked from one place to another

Joezinho:


Guardiola reaped the benefits of Rijkaard's reign.

TheGoodJoe:


Still, Guardiola went to a team at Bayern and scattered many of their records there. The man is amazing, whether you try to yab or not.

Joezinho:


Tell me a manager who has won the Europa one season, UCL the next, with a passionate but not great Porto team, and would win the first EPL title for the shekpites after 40 years in the wilderness, twice in 3 years.

Then he'd go to Italy and win the Scudetto as well as be crowned Champions of Europe. Then the same man would go to Spain, and lead Real Madrid to its first La Liga title in 4 years with over a 100 points.

Once he did that, he'd come back to Shekpe and win them another EPL title.

That's the genius, Jose Mario dos Santos Mourinho Felix. The special One.

andrewbaba44:


You are just a clown and a very confused one

Same guardiola that discarded rijkaard most important players ,but he benefited from rijkaard reign ,lol

Who have he balls to kicked out Ronaldinho deco edmilson zambrotta Samuel eto who are all important players but you think he benefited from rijkaard,I am sure many of you would have said Barca was finished then when Ronaldinho left

There was a time at Barca where deco was even more important to the midfield than xavi

I am sure you know all these but agenda must agend

andrewbaba44:


Not all managers are customers to Europa league so we can’t relate ,now your special fraud is now fighting for conference league ,how the mighty has fallen ,conference league is just the league one of European football

Unai emery remains the goat of Europa league

Did your fraud dominated in Spain or not ? He got beaten Severally and could not deliver the champions league with Ronaldo and was bundled out like a Salah RAM

Ndi conference league

Joezinho:


Not all managers are local champions despite spending 1billion pounds.

With the way he's going, Sheikh might arrest him for fraud.
