The ex Barcelona player that thinks Guardiola not define by just titles

Pep Guardiola has won many titles in his managerial career. He won two trebles in his career, with FC Barcelona and Manchester City. He is regarded as one of the greatest football managers of all time. His influence on players and the style of play has revolutionized football in recent years. Some of his former players have become coaches recently, and one of them, who was coached at FC Barcelona, has praised Guardiola for his style of football instead of the titles he has won over the years.

Guardiola's former player at FC Barcelona, who is currently a coach, is Javier Mascherano. The Argentine is the coach for the Argentine U-23 and will coach them in the upcoming Summer Olympics. Mascherano spoke about Guardiola's impact on football and praised him for that instead of the titles. Mascherano said, "Pep Guardiola's legacy is not defined by his titles. His legacy is everything that he brought to the sport. There was football before and after Guardiola. As a manager, it's impossible to copy another manager's style. You have to tell the players what you truly believe; otherwise, they won't follow you."

Mascherano spoke about his time coaching Argentina's reserves and taking advice from Guardiola and other managers. Mascherano said, "I traveled to Manchester and spoke with Guardiola to share my experiences. I still keep in touch with Luis Enrique, Pep, and Rafa Benitez, but I'm ashamed of asking them about football. They're on another level. I'm happy managing the reserves for Argentina, but I want to manage a club in the future. It would be selfish to say which club, so I won't. It can be misinterpreted."

Mascherano thinks he was better at Liverpool than at FC Barcelona

Javier Mascherano played at Liverpool and at FC Barcelona during his career. When comparing the two experiences, Mascherano said, "We saw the best Mascherano at Liverpool, not Barcelona. I was a beast physically, although I lost possession a lot. Luckily, I played alongside Gerrard and Xabi Alonso. I just had to run around and give the ball to them."
