Pep Guardiola revealed which team inspired him to lead Manchester City to success

The world champion team in Qatar 2022 will be remembered throughout history. However, the Argentine National Team seems to remain hungry and seeks to extend the legacy. That is why his performance in the last games aroused more praise than he already had for his consecration last year. Now, the one who spoke about the Scaloneta and filled it with praise for particular situations he experienced in the World Cup was Josep Guardiola.

“The individual quality they have in the goalkeepers, the defenders and in everything. That's why they are world champions. You are not a world champion if you do not have something special in all aspects, especially in skills, but the mentality is also incredible,” said the coach about the Argentine National Team. The Spaniard spoke with Sam Lee and left a series of compliments for the Albiceleste's performance. “He really surprised me during difficult times. How I think about the quarterfinals or the finals. You are 2 up in the final, and immediately it is 2 to 2. Normally the teams go down," Guardiola commented.

"The emotions in the knockout matches are so important. The emotions are very important, how they have managed them. And after that they played better than before. And I think the first half they played in the final against the French, at this level of quality, it is very difficult to find. It was one of the best finals I have seen," said the Manchester City technical director about the defining match of Qatar 2022. In addition, he confessed that his team sought to have the same mentality as Argentina to win the triplet he achieved this year.

The example for Manchester City

After praising the team led by Lionel Scaloni, the Catalan commented that they took Argentina's tenacity as an example to apply it in their Premier and Champions League matches. “This is how we were able to win the treble last season, because here we were very strong, very strong in bad moments, constant, and we kept going,” said Guardiola, who remains in the citizen team with the aim of continuing to win titles.
