The biggest difference with Guamu! Guardiola: I am excellent, but I didn’t teach Doku’s breakthroughs.

In the 11th round’s crucial clash, Manchester City defeated Liverpool 3-0 at home. City thoroughly controlled the match; Haaland missed a penalty, or the margin would have been wider. Doku was in the starting lineup, played 74 minutes before being replaced, earned a penalty, and scored a world-class goal by cutting inside. He was rated 9.5 post-match, the highest on the field and the sole player with a 9+ score.

After the match, Guardiola was interviewed by British media and commented on Doku. This is how he evaluated his protégé:Listen everyone, I know I’m an excellent coach, but don’t overestimate me too much. Winning matches is a result of the players working together; our coaching staff just tries to provide good rhythm and solid teamwork. Do you think I taught Doku how to break through? That comes from the player’s own talent and hard work. Doku performed exceptionally well in this game, facing one of the best fullbacks in the Premier League.

Fans joked that this is the mindset of Guardiola as a world-class coach, and it’s the biggest difference between him and Mourinho. In football, players have the Messi-Ronaldo rivalry, coaches have the Guardiola-Mourinho debate, and then the Klopp vs others discussion. Mourinho’s coaching platforms have deteriorated over time, and wherever he goes, there are internal conflicts and clashes with referees, with results worsening. Klopp is currently resting at home, but since he left, Liverpool has been declining without the foundation he left behind.

Why do people like Messi? Because they enjoy beautiful football and humility; he never calls himself the GOAT! Why do people like Guardiola? Because they appreciate beautiful football and humility; he doesn’t complain after losses and praises his players.
