"Why is Messi the best?" : Pep Guardiola's talk at City

The sporting success of the 'Citizens' is undeniable, but the management also aims to have a strong impact through marketing. Precisely, the sports entity recently presented the documentary titled Together: Champions Again!, which reviews the team's experiences in the 2021-22 season.

Manchester City's intention is to establish a stronger relationship with the public, both with fans and non-fans. The premiere of the audiovisual product took place on July 27th, and some images of a talk by Pep Guardiola have gone viral, with the unexpected prominence of Lionel Messi.

During a conversation with his players at halftime of a match, the coach showed his enthusiasm and gave details of his system mentioning the 'Flea', with whom he shared time at Barcelona. "Do you know why Messi is the best player I've seen in my life? Because he is a competitor. He is an animal," the coach began.

"And now, we pass the ball and we just watch. When they pass the ball... attack. Here!", added Pep, gesturing fiercely in front of the drawing board he had in the locker room. The players, along with the rest of the coaching staff, watched attentively.

"You have to score goals, guys! Messi passes the ball and enters like a machine. He smells the goal. We have to cross the ball and we have to arrive," Guardiola concluded. The scene has become popular among football fans, who praised the passion of the coach and expressed their desire to see more details about Manchester City's documentary, which is broadcasted through a subscription on the club's website.
