“I am a member of Barcelona, I have my two places in the Camp Nou (stadium), and I only hope that one day we can fire him as he deserves,” said the Manchester City coach.
The Spanish Josep ‘Pep’ Guardiolacurrent coach of Manchester City, referred today to the future of Lionel Messi and he wished that he could return to Barcelona so that “he can say goodbye as he deserves”.
“I am a member of Barcelona, I have my two places in the (stadium) Camp Nouand I only hope that one day we can fire him as he deserves,” Guardiola said in an excerpt from an interview he gave to ESPN.
One of the best coaches in the history of the “culé” group considered that Messi is “the greatest player of all time” and that the “boom” that the club had in recent years was due to what the Argentine did on the pitch.
“I know that the president (Joan) Laporta He has great esteem for ‘Leo’ and since he left, he referred to the fact that he deserves to have a goodbye as the great personality that he is. ‘Leo’ helped Barcelona to be much bigger than when he arrived. When a person is so big, he deserves to be fired well”, opined ‘Pep’, who was also optimistic that he could return next season.
“I hope the day comes when I’m in my place and I can get up, applaud him and send him off as ‘Leo’ deserves.. And I know that Joan (Laporta) is going to try and Leo too, so that he and his family can receive the love that we all have for all the gratitude and respect that he has given to the club”, he concluded.
Guardiola and Messi were together in Barcelona between 2008 and 2012 and, in that period, the club won three Spanish leagues, two Champions League, two Copa del Rey, three Spanish Super Cuptwo European Super Cup and two Club World Cups.
