Guardiola explained what his position would be during the World Cup and surprised by assuring that he does not have a favorite team. In an interview with OKX, the Catalan coach said he will follow the tournament with particular attention to the players with whom he has shared the dressing room or worked throughout his career.
The coach noted that his support will be aimed at players he knows personally, regardless of what country they represent. For this reason, he admitted that he would enjoy watching teams such as Argentina, France and Portugal compete. Where several football players play, with whom he maintains good professional relationships.
Regarding the final between Spain and Argentina, Guardiola highlighted the team’s potential under Luis de la Fuente. He believes the Spanish side can play a decisive role if Rodri dominates the midfield with Pedri and Lamin Yamal offers his best version.
As for the young Barcelona striker, the coach recalled that recent injuries have affected his physical condition. Although he emphasized that his talent and ability to withstand pressure allows him to decide matches even at a very young age.
Guardiola also spoke about his professional future. Having completed a successful ten-year spell at Manchester City, he insisted that he was experiencing a moment of personal satisfaction and that he needed to face new challenges before deciding on his next destination.
Despite this, he has made it clear that he maintains strong ties with the English club and has not ruled out returning to the Etihad Stadium in the future if he feels he can contribute to the project again.
Finally, the coach once again praised Jurgen Klopp, whom he identified as the most demanding opponent in his entire career. Guardiola recalled that the former Liverpool manager was capable of changing his tactical approach several times during a single match. A quality that has always forced him to constantly adapt from the bench.
