Dante: Guardiola knows he can trust me

"Bayern" defender Dante from Munich is confident that the team's coach, Pep Guardiola, despite the recent poor form, still trusts him.

The lost ball by the Brazilian in the first UEFA Champions League quarter-final match against "Porto" led to the opponents' goal, and the Bavarians lost that match with a score of 3-1.

At that time, Dante was heavily criticized and did not appear in the starting lineup of "Bayern" in the following matches, which Guardiola's players won even by 6-1.

"After the mistake against 'Porto,' it wasn't easy for me. It was obvious that it was my fault, so it was hard to deal with it psychologically," the defender told Sport1.

"But Guardiola's trust helped me to recover. He noticed that it wasn't easy for me. I had played three good matches before that, and then something happened against 'Porto.'"

"After that, I was very disappointed, but I talked to the coach and he really helped me. Pep knows he can trust me."

"Mistakes are part of football. However, you must always continue to fight and strive to give everything for the team."

31-year-old Dante played in 36 matches this season.
