PEP GUARDIOLA: “BAYERN MUNICH BEATEN BY MANCHESTER UNITED? POSSIBLE… “
In the Champions League quarter-final, defending champion Bayern Munich is set to face Manchester United, and Pep Guardiola, the coach of the German club, is expressing caution despite the apparent mismatch.
Guardiola shared his thoughts before the upcoming clash: “No coach in the world wants to be considered the favorite before a match. However, I must acknowledge this reality. Last season, Bayern achieved tremendous success, and this season, we clinched the title seven games before the end. But I am fully aware of the formidable opponent we will face on Tuesday. While Manchester United may not be enjoying a stellar season in the Premier League – I’m not focused on their league performances – they have demonstrated their quality in the Champions League. When I look at players like Rooney, Vidic, Rio, Chicharito, and Welbeck, I recognize their capabilities. Despite their league form, they are formidable opponents in knockout matches.”
“As a coach, my priority is to maintain the high standards set by Jupp Heynckes last season. It would be a tremendous honor to achieve similar success.”
“I am grateful to be in charge of such a great club. The support I receive is exceptional, and I strive to give my best every day. I am confident that I will continue to coach Bayern next year because of our Bundesliga success. As for the future beyond that, it remains uncertain.”
