- Bayern Munich coach, Pep Guardiola has a beautiful wife, kids, and he isn’t interested in starting another family. Don’t look in that direction. What he wants is the feeling that he’s loved in his managerial career.
- Speaking recently at a charity event, the Spaniard said his priority is not to win titles but to be appreciated.
- “I do all I am doing in my life to be loved. My ambition is not to win titles, I am looking for love, nothing more. I read in an article by an American educationalist that a child won’t learn if it does not feel empathy with the teacher. I try to use that in my work.
- “Often a player feels bad, because he thinks the coach does not like him and not because he is not playing. I had a great player once who did not score. We went to a cafe together to talk. Not about football but about life. In the next match, this player scored two of our four goals. He felt special because he felt loved.”

"I will not say what I think of Messi" Pep Guardiola
Bayern Munich coach, Pep Guardiola was visibly pained yesterday after Barcelona’s Lionel Messi caused a stir in the Champions League match against Bayern last night by scoring two goals and setting up the third for teammate, Neymar.
He praised his team and insisted his men controlled the game well but lost their grip after the visitors’ first goal. He also commended the Blaugrana’s team efforts but did not acknowledge the brilliance of the man of the match.
” I will not say what I think of Messi. They are not just Leo, Barca are a very good team . They were very solid , in defence and attack . They have great players , Neymar , Luis Suarez . We tried to control the game so that Messi would not participate so much . We were 15 minutes away from a very good
result . ”
Bayern would need 4goals to knock their opponents out of the race. The Spaniard who coached the spanish team for over 3 years doubts that his team will turn things around when they meet for the second leg.
“You can turn around a one or two-goal deficit, but three is tough.” He added.
