Guardiola, however, wants to dominate it", added.
To trial of Lahm, Guardiola has good players in the City, but no to the best as it was used to to have in the FC Barcelona: "In Barcelona, Guardiola had four or five that would do an eleven world-wide. In the Manchester City does not have this, in spite of the big investments. As it said once Guardiola, the prodigios like Kylian Mbappé and Neymar still prefer metropoles like London and Paris or clubs with a glorious history. Measured like staff, the City would not be the favourite. Especially because Sergio Agüero, his player with a special talent, no longer is in full form by the injuries", explains the German.
The ex side of the Bayern also referred to Walker, to the one who thinks that Guardiola has done of him a better player and of Gundogan, to the one who considers like a perfect footballer to play with Pep. Besides, it signals that to Guardiola "would like him choose to 11 Andrés Iniestas", sentenced the ex captain of the selection of Germany his comparative argument between the Barça of Guardiola of 2009 and the City of Pep of the actuality.
The Barça of 2009, inigualable
Indistinctly of the power that can present a team by one and until in three consecutive seasons, winning big quantity of trophies and marking milestones in the history of the world-wide football, the true is that the Barça of 2009 is considered by many like the most powerful team ofall .
