Lionel Messi has expressed that he didn’t quite appreciate Pep Guardiola’s training methods at Barcelona.
The Argentina captain criticized how kids were taught these tactics at La Masia, saying that such a strict approach could limit their natural abilities.
In an interview Messi said that: “young players were instructed to take two touches and play faster”. He believes that children should be taught to understand the game better and improve their movements to find spaces instead of this rigid training.
Lionel Messi also said: “The Guardiola era was a bit confusing. Six and seven-year-old kids are already being told to play with two touches, to play fast, and not to hold onto the ball much. I think at that age, they should be taught to better understand the game, know how to move, find spaces, and play quickly without losing their spontaneity.”
