Pep Guardiola is one of the most successful technical directors in history. The Spanish strategist had a brief stint in Liga MX before retiring as a footballer, in Mexico he wore the Dorados de Sinaloa shirt. Before the friendly duel between Club América and Manchester City, Guardiola made it clear that he does not know much about Aztec football and made a comparison that was painful for the Eagles.
At a press conference, the Citizens coach spoke about his rival this Wednesday, July 20, at the NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas. In his statements, the experienced helmsman confused America with Chivas de Guadalajara, his greatest sporting rival. Guardiola indicated that the Eagles are a team known for playing entirely with Mexicans, a tradition that is characteristic of the Sacred Flock.
“(America is the most complicated team in Liga MX) If you say so, it will be, I don’t know. I know it has a story behind it. I was in a tournament in Mexico and discovered that America is special because it plays with pure Mexicans”
– Pep Guardiola in conference
Fans of Chivas de Guadalajara, and the club itself on social networks, joked about Pep Guardiola’s confusion and assured that the successful coach confused the Águilas with the “greatest in Mexico”.
Through their networks, the Sacred Flock indicated that “Chivas is in the minds of 40 million, including Pep.”
In his conference, Guardiola valued Liga MX and indicated that he admires it. “I have great admiration for Mexican soccer. The influence of coaches who have passed,” he added.
