J. Guardiola responded to the experts who criticized him © JumpStory

"Man City" coach Josep Guardiola decided not to ignore the loud words of critics. Former famous footballers Dimitar Berbatov and Patrice Evra claimed that the Catalan proteges lack a winner's mentality, and the strategist himself - a backup game plan. This was especially evident in the UEFA Champions League semi-final match in Madrid.

"In the last four games, we scored 22 goals and showed our personalities. Sorry, but I totally disagree with that. We need to look at what we have achieved in the past five years, playing every three days in various tournaments. That's important. Maybe this season "Liverpool" will win four titles, maybe - just one. But will you say that their team lacks personalities, character, and didn't have incredible years? Sometimes that just happens in football and you can't control such things," clarified J. Guardiola.

"I myself had to play against D. Berbatov, C. Seedorf, and P. Evra, but when I competed against some of them in the Champions League final, I didn't see such personalities," the specialist said.
