“Guardiola is not easy, at home he will place his wife and the sofa as if they were players”

Danilo is giving a lot to talk about by statements that have gone around the world. The Juventus right-back, formerly of Real Madrid or Manchester City, has precisely spoken of his time in the English team under the orders of Pep Guardiola. And his words can be understood in two ways, as praise for the Catalan coach for his way of working, or as criticism for his obsession with football.

“With Guardiola I changed my way of seeing things. I played little, also due to an injury, but it is true that it is not easy to have a relationship with him: he is never calm, he thinks about football all day. In my opinion, when he is at home, he should place his wife and the sofa as if they were players, “said the Brazilian full-back in an interview for The Republic.

Professionally, the footballer seems to have little to blame on the Santpedor coach, but personally and in terms of treatment, he does not seem to have good memories of his time at City with Guardiola at the helm. “I have been lucky, they are different, but they are all winners. I have tried to learn from everyone ”, adds Danilo, who praises his current coach, an Allegri with whom he is fixed in the position of right-back at Juventus: «From Allegri, I am trying to learn something that I had not yet been taught, he wants something totally different and I am sure that I will become stronger ».

The carioca landed in Turin in 2019 from Manchester City, where he coincided with Guardiola for two seasons after being an express request from the Catalan coach. But that did not go well, as Danilo now confesses, who is giving a lot to talk about because of those statements about Guardiola, his wife and the sofa.
