I LOVE GUARDIOLA AS A COACH BUT NOT AS A PERSON – ETO’O
Ex-cameroonian and Barcelona striker Samuel Eto’o said he understands His former Boss Pep Guardiola better as a coach than as a person.
Eto’o said he has no doubts about Pep Guardiola’s ability as a coach but his praise of the Coach didn’t extend beyond his professional capacity.
Pep and Eto’o worked together at Barcelona before moving on to Inter, but the Cameroonian disclosed that he understood Guardiola better than anyone else he worked under.
“I love him as a coach, but not as a person,” Eto’o explained, adding that he learnt to play football with him.
“He interprets things better than anyone. “He’s the best, but of course he loses matches.” Eto’o said.
“He left me on the bench for a month and made me warm up in injury time, In his head, he was pricking me to make me his own player. I talked to him in his office. It was what he wanted from me, to get back to my best level. “I did. We won everything. We had a team of eleven warriors, we won differently.” he recounted.
However He named Luis Aragones the coach who changed his life, adding that If he becomes a coach it would be a great honor to resemble him.
