Lionel Messi spoke about his former coach Josep Guardiola.

The pair worked together at Barcelona from 2008-2012 and won numerous trophies.

According to the Argentine, the coach's influence on this sport was incredible.

"J. Guardiola did a lot of harm to football. At that time, everything seemed so simple and easy that everyone started to copy his style of play."

“A little later, there were countless Guardiolas around. Only then could we understand what our team achieved in football,” said L. Messi.

“I have no doubt that he is the best coach I have ever had. J. Guardiola is special, he sees each game uniquely, prepares for them, and his tactics delivery to the players stands out as well.”
