In his fifth season as Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola has explained the scars of a long-running project. The more years a coach is in a club, the more difficult it is to maintain the motivation of their players. This is how he defines it, who still has a contract with the English team for two more seasons: “Each season leaves a lot of scars and a lot of learning at the same time. It happens every season with the relationship with the players and with many other things. All teams that are successful for many years have to change the team, if not impossible. Because the message gets tired. The message is don't do the same as the players from before. And the players understand the message in a different way in the first season and in the fifth. “
One of the protagonists of this season at the 'citizen' club is Kun Agüero, who in June will end a decade as a club striker: “He is a legend, he is the best striker the club has had in its history, over the years. He is irreplaceable in the spirit, in the heart and in the minds of our people, our fans, the footballers or the players. coaches who work with him “Guardiola explained in statements to the Manchester City official website.
“When he's in shape, and especially when he's angry and upset. He draws energy from his legs and is capable of doing these runs in 5 or 10 meters to destroy one, two or three opponents and score. When he came here, the club was at a level and he has helped take the club to a higher level. That is why all of us who are here and all the fans will always be grateful to him, “he said.
