Taylor Haarwood-Bellis came through the ranks at Manchester City but never had the opportunities under Pep Guardiola, and now he is starring for Southampton and the England national team, scoring in a 5-0 thrashing of Ireland.

The claim that Pep Guardiola "wastes" young

talent is a recurring theme in the world of soccer and has generated much debate. While it is true that some promising players have failed to establish themselves under his guidance, it is important to analyze this issue with nuance and consider several factors.

Why does this perception arise?

Tactical demands: Guardiola is known for implementing complex playing systems and demanding a high technical and tactical level from his players. This can make it difficult for young players who are still developing to adapt.

Limited rotation: In teams with squads as competitive as the ones Guardiola has managed (Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Manchester City), opportunities for young players can be limited, especially in decisive matches.
