As if it were a scene from a movie, by chance, the legendary culé coach, Pep Guardiola, and one of the great promises of FC Barcelona, ​​Pau Víctor, 'connected' in an interview that came to light in 2020. In this interview, the Catalan coach gave valuable life advice to the forward

Calendar of FC Barcelona

If there is a name that has earned praise from both insiders and outsiders in the FC Barcelona's 2024/25 pre-season, it has been Pau Víctor. Hailing from Sant Cugat del Vallès, who had just been the 'Pichichi' in the Primera RFEF with Barça Atlètic (scoring 18 goals in 35 matches), he demonstrated that his affinity for scoring goals is not merely a coincidence.

After receiving the opportunity from Hansi Flick to regularly join the first team's dynamics during pre-season, he left a notable mark, how? By scoring three goals (one against Manchester City and two against Real Madrid) and providing an assist (against AC Milan) during the Catalan team's 'stage' in the United States, making it clear that he could be a more than valid option to strengthen the Blaugrana's offensive line.

However, this time, his name comes into play for a curious reason. Recently, on social media, a video has circulated in which the former Girona player is the protagonist, alongside FC Barcelona legend Pep Guardiola. Both connected in 2020 through an interview conducted with the historic Catalan coach on the YouTube channel 'Post United'.

Pep Guardiola's Great Advice to Pau Víctor

In that conversation, Guardiola was shown a video of Pau Víctor asking for advice to improve his football situation at that time, when he was seeking more prominence in his team. "Hello, I'm Pau Víctor, a player from Girona's Juvenil A. This year I'm not getting many minutes, and although I'm training well, I'm not playing as much as I'd like. I'm asking for advice because I admire your football and I would like to know how to improve," the striker commented.

The current Manchester City manager, not knowing the player personally, avoided offering technical advice. However, he didn't hesitate to share a truly heartfelt motivational reflection. "I can't give you advice on how to improve because I haven't seen you and surely your coach knows you better. Life is like this, it's about how you face it. This is where you show whether you're worth it or not. There are two options: to complain or to prove it. Pau is here," he concluded.
