Pep Guardiola in Cuneo: “Juve never looked for me”

In front of 3,500 students at the Palazzetto dello Sport in Cuneo, the Manchester City coach held a lesson on talent for an event also organized by the Vialli and Mauro Foundation for Research

The coach of the European champion Manchester City attended the event “Dialogues on talent with Pep Guardiola”, organized at the Palazzetto dello Sport in Cuneo by the CRC Foundation in collaboration with the Vialli and Mauro Foundation for Research and Sport Onlus, the Guardiola Foundation Sala and with the support of Collisioni. And from here he (also) denied the rumors that in the past had been linked to the Bianconeri: “No, Juve never looked for me”, he revealed.

love for Italy

“But I really like Italy – admits the coach – and I come there very often on holiday. And then the food is really good…”. And then: “Take Allegri and De Zerbi: do you think that one wants to win and the other doesn’t? De Zerbi doesn’t play for aesthetics, he plays to win. Everyone thinks that his method is the best to achieve victory, simply. All coaches want to win. I’ve never met a coach or player who doesn’t want to win, nor one who doesn’t want to play well.” In front of over 3,500 students who flocked to the Cuneo sports hall, the former prophet of tiqui-taca therefore did not take a position in the dispute between “gamers” and “resultists”.

question of talent

“I think that talent – he stated – is everywhere. I don’t think that it isn’t there in Italy”, he continued, speaking of the current moment of Italian football and the Italian national team. The greatest talent I’ve played with? Definitely Roberto Baggio “.” The talent – she then advised to young people – does not develop at home with Instagram or Twitter, this is impossible. Talent develops by practicing it, even by making mistakes. Do you like playing football? Then play a lot.”
