Guardiola and Simeone reactions

by time news
  • Guardiola celebrates the long-suffering victory against “masters of defense” while Simeone predicts a return with “illusion and humility” amid praise for the rival.

He shook his classic bottle of water with the success rage to celebrate the goal of the fantastic Kevin de Bruyne. Pep Guardiola was released with the Belgian’s goal, which unbalanced the intense duel in Manchester, while Diego Pablo Simeon regretted the opening of bolt which he painstakingly re-perpetrated. Next week the conflict between two coaches who exhibited their seal again will be definitively resolved.

Dressed in the same look, full black and blunt coat, the two highest paid technicians in the world (3.6 million euros per month for the Argentine and 1.94 for the Catalan) lived with their usual intensity a clash with more emotion than football. Pep emerged victorious, hoping to avenge his elimination in 2016, when he led the Bayern.

“It was a question of patience. Too bad we didn’t score more goals. We’ll go to Madrid to win”
