Last summer, arriving in Munich's "Bayern" and quickly becoming one of the leaders, Douglas Costa claims that he has greatly improved as a footballer thanks to coach Josep Guardiola.
The former Donetsk "Shakhtar" player became a regular starter from the beginning of the season and managed to score five goals and provide nine assists in 20 matches played.
The 25-year-old Brazilian did not hesitate to praise team strategist J. Guardiola, whom he considers the best in the world.
"Spending time with Guardiola every day is the best lesson for me," said D. Costa. "When I am next to him, I try to learn something new."
"Guardiola is the best coach in the world. Communication with him has an impact, and since my arrival, I have not had any major problems," - the Brazilian forward had only good words for the former "Barcelona" manager.
