"If we compete with the history of Madrid, we can do nothing"

Pep Guardiola has no spared praise real Madrid a day before the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals. The Manchester City coach has set as an example for his students personality of white players, their Evidence of thought to assume responsibilities in extreme situations such as 0-3 in the second leg of the quarterfinals against Chelsea.

“At 0-3 there are players like that Kroos, Modric, Carvajal, Benzema, who raised a finger and said ‘I’m here’. And this is what best defines a team like Madrid, this is the great lesson we should learn. People are asking for the ball, it does not burn them, who knows how to play with difficulty. We will copy them in this aspect, play a good game in the first leg to repeat at the Bernabéu and reach finalExplanation by Pep.

After underestimating the fact of being one of those technicians he has beaten Real Madrid more times (“When you play multiple times against a team that wins and you lose”), he appealed to the talent to beat the whites.

“Nothing opportunity to his achievements (of Real Madrid). This is a group with lots of quality, cannot explain their successes based on luck alone. They have many things i like, but not from now, from my time as a coach, but since I was a player. you like his talent with more talent“, is underlined.

Asked about the correct white box names, Pep expanded Vinicius and includes Benzema. Earlier, he stressed that “he was only 21 years old, he was very young. When he arrived he was severely criticized and now he is having an amazing time: he runs a lot when it comes to criticizing football players.”

And as for Benzema, “he scored a lot of goals, not just against Chelsea or now, he has spent his entire career doing so. He is an amazing striker. What is clear is that we must hope: if we try compete against the history of Real Madrid We have nothing to do. We want to compete to improve, know we will suffer, attack, like we would against Bayern or Barça. “

The goal, to combine two great games and reach the final: “As a coach I I will never get what I want You will always have other dreams. The truth is not to win at all, to play incredible, to always score a lot of goals. This is difficult for everyone. If it doesn’t reach the final isn’t it good? I don’t dare say it, you have to respect both my players and the rival. But We want to get to the final and win. “

And one last wish: “That people go to the field, that I’m convinced they will. We’ll face two very good teams and I hope enjoy it. It will not remain for us: we will do our best to make them give themselves to us. Being here, where teams like Bayern, Barça, Liverpool and Villarreal went, is very good and you should enjoy it. The story is there and we will not change it, but we will be eleven against eleven with the ball in between. You, from the bank, can think of a plan. But ultimately it is the quality and strength of the players that will make the difference. It’s a game of players, where neither I nor Ancelotti will win “.
