Javi Martinez, a former Bayern Munich player, has dubbed Pep Guardiola the 'greatest of his generation.' Martinez was asked to compare the current Manchester City manager to Real Madrid's Carlo Ancelotti in an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport via Football Italia. During his time at the Allianz Arena, the 33-year-old was handled by both men.Guardiola won the Bundesliga, German Cup, UEFA Supercup, and FIFA Club World Cup during his time in Bayern, while Ancelotti won the Bundesliga and German Supercup. Both managers are frontrunners in the opinion of the former Spain international.
He remarked, "To me, they are the best representatives of their generations." "No one is left in business among Ancelotti's colleagues now."
"Pep Guardiola, together with Luis Enrique, Thomas Tuchel, Mauricio Pochettino, and [Jurgen] Klopp, is the best coach of this generation." People who have influenced the game of football. They're all so dissimilar to Ancelotti." Martinez then went on to talk about Guardiola's coaching abilities.He continued, " "Guardiola has a distinct approach to football analysis. He can predict what will happen on the field. You play knowing what you're supposed to do and what the other team is going to do. It's a significant benefit.
"Pep becomes nearly invincible when his tactics and pressuring strategies are combined. I had a strong bond with him because we both speak the same language, but Carlo and I had a different relationship.
"He is like a father to his players because he cares so much about them. Pep is more rigid and focused on film analysis, but discipline is necessary for a team.
"Pep had a little more control than Carlo, but it was apparent." He went on to say: "Carlo has risen to the top because he is still fighting for a large target.He is an astute coach who is well-versed in the game of football. After [Cristiano] Ronaldo, he returned to Madrid, offering a new lease on life to a team that had lost Sergio Ramos and Raphael Varane.
"People were suspicious, yet he is on the verge of winning La Liga and has advanced to the semifinals of the Champions League." Carlo is well-versed in the requirements of teams.When people ask me who the finest coach in the world is, I always reply Pep Guardiola, but as a player, it's crucial to work with coaches who know how to get the most out of you, and I've never felt better than when I was working with Guardiola. Not only in terms of football, but also in terms of personal life.
"I think he's the best of them all." When City travels to Real Madrid for the second leg of their Champions League contest on Wednesday, Guardiola and Ancelotti will face off once more.
The tie is currently 4-3 in favor of the Blues. Both teams will be riding high following two resounding victories over the weekend, with Real's clinching the La Liga title.
