Guardiola's biggest error, selling Eto'o out, he brought Ibra in and also mistreated him. How arrogant Guardiola is. btw Eto'o doesn't age at all or what??
Guardiola isn't arrogant at all. He was just assembling a team that not only has good players but good characters too. Players that don't harm the dressing room. Same is happening with city. Players like Sanchez are being snubbed off because of their character. It's clear from this interview how much butthurt he is.
Tarek El-Maddah bruh if you mean el fhenemanon they played in same era but if it is cristiano hes not better,weah won it against bergkamp,fhenamenon,zidane and many more,its like saying ronaldo is better than bergkamp or zidane
thisguyrighthere3 Guardiola disrespected him openly many times he said. especially when he swapped number without consent. Just like Eto said how do you expect respect if you aren't receiving it
swapped number without consent? from who? the club preident? he is the manager, he can swap numbers as many times a he wants. who the fuck is Eto to give consent. Eto has signed a contract. Guardiola can put him in the 2nd team if he wants
Guardiola explains it on his book. Eto is a player. Doesn't matter what position he plays or the coach has played in the past. With that criteria, the coach could only coach the players that play in his former position. Guardiola decided to protect the team instead of having a few spoiled kids... Eto, Roni, were two of them... History says Pep was right and Barcelona went on to become one of the greatest teams people have ever seen in those years... winning 18 out of 21 titles in play or something around that... Eto does not have football ethic and this video is proof of it. He has no problem in sharing personal matters and that's a big no-no in soccer and among soccer players. That's the reason he was sold to another team. Sometimes, having an awesome player that brings conflict in a team is not the right thing for the team and this video proves it well... Eto is a great forward, Ibra is also a great forward, but there weren't the best forwards for Barcelona at that particular time, that's all.... Alexis Sanches is also a great player, but he was simply not the best fit. There are many examples like this. Being a coach is not about having the best players, is about having the right players.
ummm Inter went on to win a treble and a huge part of that was because of Eto'o. I bet deep down Pep knows he mishandled Eto'o and should have kept him around for a couple more years.
I'm Barcelona fan but pep really pissed me off when he sold etto and yaya, pep doesn't like strong personality players like etto and ibrahimovic because he wants to control the players like a little kids at school, I don't ignore his smart mind in football but I don't respect his personality
"he wants to control the players like a little kids at school" lol, you certainly have watch ibra and eto interview but have you watched henry ones? and puyol, cryuff?..
Rishan Shrestha I did and to let you know I am barca fan since 2004 ,I'm not saying pep is bad person but I trying to say what he did with etto ,ibra and toure was completely wrong, Morinho took out the best of ibra and etto in inter and Manchester United because he knows how to deal with big players
Cockoff Gewgle lol pep know only about tiki taka and if there is a player who don't want or can't play this style of football he sell him. A Great coach can take any group of players with their unique strengths and weaknesses and lead them to glory. Sorry, but Pep thinks football is a video game..you can't buy or sell players like that. He can only play with players with low-medium high, to have great balance, great technique with the ball, passing abilities and vision. Every coach needs great players to their team, but it doesn't matter to them their style of play, if they got an attacking or defensive fullback, if they got a striker who can't dribble, but can win battles in the air to score headers. They will make the team great as it is.
Jo Mateix because Pep wants obedient players which will do all that Pep says. And I can comfirm it. Messi is an incredible player one of the best in history of football but he doesn’t have that big ego that would prevent Pep from doing what he want. Pep doesn’t know how to work with big personalities and a beautiful example is with Eto’o, Zlatan, Ronaldinho and Yaya. Sorry for my english. I’m from Czech Republic but I’m doing my best.
@@jomateix5477 then you want to destroy the talent of players becouse when you have three classic players in one position Let the playera go but dont destroy with bench
Yes, totally! Especially what he said about Guardiola not being a genius and an hipocrite. An opportunist who grabbed Cruyff inventions as his own. Guardiola at Man City already has spent more 200 millions than Mourinho at Man UTd, and had by far the best team. Than people say that Mourinho doesn't improve players. He at least tries to improve them. If Guardiola don't like a player the player is finished. Look how he improved Joe Hart, Nolito or Yaya :)
Nooo i don't believe What Toure said because He wanted to play in Xavi place he didn't what to play as a defensive midfielder he wanted to play as box to box mid then Guardiola decide to bring Serio Bousquets I don't defend Pep but this is the case

Three players that made me fell into FC Barcelona was Ronaldinho, Eto'o, Deco. And I was angry when the club sold Eto'o while he still at the best performance, then what? We lose to Inter in Champions League.
This was quite a speech, he'd clearly thought a lot about it. And DAMN he has a good memory to remember so many specific details about all his various goals and matches. Most people can't remember what they ate for lunch yesterday.
This guy from cameroon so he speak french, played in spain and england so he speak english and latin. With that languages he can literally travel 2/3 if the world and has no language barrier
Nope i haven't, this is actually one of the first interviews of players i've seen. I just see that he doesnt care about his players, maybe sometimes ago (i guess you were referring about zlatan at inter with mou?)
I lived in Côte d'Ivoire for 18 months and I was surprised to see that Eto'o was more popular there than Drogba despite being a Cameroonian. Anyway, I loved Eto'o as our no 9 for so many years who guaranteed goals and his grit and determination is exemplary. He is also a very honest man who says things how they are. But Eto'o must have understood one thing that Guardiola himself was very young too when he took over the 1st team. At 38 Guardiola didn't have to be a matured man but Eto'o surr as hell was younger than Pep too. A coach has to be respected despite his/her age, Julian Nagelsman took over a Bundesliga 1st team when he was 29, I'm sure he was respectful to the senior players who were elder than him but they never disrespected Nagelsman. Pep is a La Masia graduate who was a ball boy at Camp Nou, a captain for so long too, he was respected by all players in the club; Pep may not have been very comfortable talking to everyone being so young. Eto'o should have known it. Eto'o journey in other clubs didn't go as great- despite winning tteble at Inter he didn't score many goals and literally played at right back position in Mou's tactical scheme. His unprofessionalism was well documented in Chelsea and Everton. He played for money in later years in lower quality national leagues because his agent almost ruined his life by misappropriating his money and properties. However he fought legally and won. I still wish him all the best. He now openly claims that Pep is the best coach in the world; I'm sure Pep said sorry later on.
Samuel is an honest man thats why people love him.i dont think hes lying about these stories samuel is not perfect hes able to tell the truth to anybody even if it was his father
Ty Alex plus the ability to kick out the cocky superstars who think they know better than the coach & puts arguement like 'you weren't a great player,you were just a good midfieder, unlike me- i am a great striker, so i know better about strikers role.'
because he doesn't know hot to give good feedback and does think behind his back, he was already being disrespectful with him since the start, he talked back at the time when he was already mad at him.
@@medman195 Pep Guardiola already disrespected Eto'o. Eto'o was just returning the favor. Guardiola is a good tactician but bad person. Look at how he treated players he didn't like. Kicking Joe Hart (club legend) out of Man City as if he own the place, especially when Hart helped Man City reached UCL semifinal previous season.
Eto'o at this time was one of the best forwards in the world and how Pep treated him was disrespectful. These Pep stories are pretty consistent...so many players speaking out against him
What show is this? It was a great watch, and rare as an American TV watcher to see someone given such a long time to tell a story without being interrupted or cutting to commercial break. Also does he speak about his time in Inter with Mourinho during this too?
This is a true account of Pep.. lots of players have publicly spoken about his character. His burning desire to win football matches sometimes outweigh the basic respect he should give to his players.
wow I really like eto now, really intelligent nd very open and truth seeking kinda guy not afraid to step outside the box verbally and psychologically.
Abdul Hammad listen , ibra wasn't pepe buy. it was Barcelona board that got him. and pepe likes his attackers to press the ball. ibra too lazy to press. when ibra left Barcelona won the Champions League
Ibrahamovic also said Gaurdiola is a philosopher n by far the best Manager . See Gaurdiola's whole game plan is based on Tactics , he wanted Zlatan to play what Henry did. On the left flank. He was not co-operating so he sold him. Same with Eto. Yaya never had problems with Pep like that , Both Zlatan n Eto have Ego n the whole world knws abt this. Would u want a player who doesn't listen to u ? I won't
Would like to see Pep win a Champions League with a team like Porto not only with rich teams and teams that already have the best players before he arrives
But the thing is, he made them that squad. Think back. He sold Ronaldinho, Deco, Edmilson, Thuram and Zambrotta, bought Alves, Keita, Hleb, Cáceres and Piqué, promoted Pedro and Busquets. He should have been worse off; after all, all five of the players he sold were consistent starters, Deco was world class, Ronaldinho was sui generis. Only Alves was a definite upgrade compared to whom he replaced at that time. But, his team collected 20 more points, won every single thing they competed for, etc. In every single competition, Barca has been worse before and after him. How do you figure he was just lucky?
do you really think that a team with messi, eto'o, xavi, iniesta and alves could win 6 trophies if their manager was mourinho or ancelotti or ferguson? no. guardiola is a football genius. BUT, in order to manifest his football ideas on the pitch, he needs the right players for that. and manchester city has only 1 world class player, and that's de bruyne. in bayern, guardiola had successful seasons, despite what everyone says. you can't win 6 trophies every year. he couldn't repeat the same thing with the same players like xavi messi iniesta. it's like a computer. you have the best graphic card in the world. but if your processor and RAM memory sucks, the graphic card will never perform as it should. guardiola and that group of players were the perfect combination which will hardly be repeated, ever.
Guardiola is really like that, i saw once the Bayern Training where Thiago made a Trick and done a great Assist for the Goal and Guardiola stops the Training and yelling No No No don't do this do this and that. This Man telling the Media that the Player is injuried to hide He's angry emotion about him letting him not play so the Fans aren't angry at him. P.s sorry for my bad Englisch 😅
Hum..I dont know... players cannot just do tricks and go about doing whatever they want in the game. Even if they play well, that can be toxic to the whole group, because if a trainer tolerates one player not following direction, soon, the whole team will start doing the same. I dont think it was a question of Eto not playing well, but more of what influence he could have on the team
diego u....any coach could win with Barcelona and Bayern Munich. Guardiola is not a good leader. The premier league is teaching him one or two lessons now.
diego u what world you live in. What competition did he have in Bayern( none) what about Barcelona. U have at least 5 guys every year that are on fifa Xi, messi on your side too. Real Madrid and later Atletico the only real challenge for them. Look at him now
I’m not an expert, but I think he tells the truth. Sheds, for me, a whole new light on the way Ibrahimovic thinks about Guardiola. I can understand that now
Before you hate on Guardiola, think about this: Nobody is perfect, so neither is Eto'o. Some of the things he said could be exaggerated or even lies. The "look at Henry's and Messi's faces" is laughable. At this point, it's obvious that Pep has neither Mourinho's confrontational charisma (that makes you agree with him even when he's screwing you over) nor Ancelotti's charisma (that makes you agree with him whatever happens). But Pep is the man that best took advantage of talents such as Messi, Xavi or Iniesta. He's the man with the most impressive spell at a club *ever*. He changed football. If I were manager at any club, my priority would be the club's success. Maybe Eto'o is right to hate Pep, but Barcelona and football fans in general need to respect him for his accomplishments. Put Messi, Ronaldo, Suarez, Neymar, Iniesta, Bale and all the other top players in a single team. Not enough. To win the Sextuple, you need a genius coach, and Pep is the only one.
eto'o just isn't the type of striker that the ideal pep's team needs, no one is right or wrong here, guardiola puts a whole lot of stock into his "plan" for the next game and eto'o has that huge ego that any world class striker should have, and he doesn't understand how a striker that scores so much is not ideal for any team so he takes it personal
Dave Kent pep didn't change football Barca or you can say Messi did because let's be honest coaches are not responsible for what players do on the pitch
Sasuke 15 let's be honest? then how come players can change so much in quality under a different manager? nobody's saying coaches are all that matter, but they're obviously a decisive factor
He gives good insight as to who the problematic one actually was. He was asked only about Pep, but all of a sudden you get to learn he also had issues with Rijkaard, was pissed off so much by Ronaldinho that he couldn't do without saying it, and Henry being happy to get number 9 also stayed with him all those years. He also says they got together and made peace, but you can see he isn't at peace whatsoever. He really is a problematic personality. He can't even help giving himself away.
Lol at the hates on Pep. I am a professional engineer, and I too, when trying to assemble a team for any task, would try to avoid including such fiery character into the team. Of course that person may bring results like any other very talented people would, but whats the most important is the teamwork to bring the best out of others as well. I dont need one individual in my team to harp on about 'respect me for what Ive done', that would take more time unnecessarily to manage. Pep has not specifically address on this issue. I wont either. It is not worth the time, neither it is needed.
It's football not engineering and you weren't there to comment on what the gripes are. Yes, some players are difficult to manage, but that's the whole point of being a manager of talented individuals who are men, not boys, as football likes to treat them. Plus, there is a pattern that has emerged showing Guardiola to be a bit of a precious and a practitioner of favouritism. Some of the success seems to be despite himself.
Then you don't know how to build a great team, if you are unable to manage tough members that brings you great value. Your leadership skills are not as high as you think they are, in this case.
Funny how his title winning sides had shit testomonials from such great players at each of the clubs he has managed. No wonder Yaya Toure must've been dreading to see him again at city

It's more like "Il parle un peu en catalan", after listening to it several times!

If a player acts like a diva he has no place in Barcelona. Barcelona was more successful with out Ronaldinho and Eto. That’s the truth.
j ross lol u crazy eto'o was a goal machine
DEMO Relax that has nothing to do with what I just mentioned.
Guardiola isn't arrogant at all. He was just assembling a team that not only has good players but good characters too. Players that don't harm the dressing room. Same is happening with city. Players like Sanchez are being snubbed off because of their character. It's clear from this interview how much butthurt he is.
I am from Egypt ... and we beat Cameroon many times ... but I reckon Eto'o as the all-time best African player ... undisputed
Tarek El-Maddah Eto and Drogba
GistTech I think Eto'o was better than Drogba ...
WEAH BALLON D'OR WİNNER TWICE AND THE ONLY AFRICAN TO WIN
Well, Weah was great no doubt ... but he hasn't played in Messi and Ronaldo era ... he wouldn't have won one single ballon d'ohr
Tarek El-Maddah bruh if you mean el fhenemanon they played in same era but if it is cristiano hes not better,weah won it against bergkamp,fhenamenon,zidane and many more,its like saying ronaldo is better than bergkamp or zidane
The legendary Samuel Eto'o! One of the best forwards/strikers that ever played the beautiful game!
I always had doubts as to how the season top scorer was sold to another club
Disgusting pep guardiola
etoo was being an asshole telling the manager that the manager wasnt a striker so he sholdnt tell him how to play as a striker, thats how he got sold
thisguyrighthere3 Guardiola disrespected him openly many times he said. especially when he swapped number without consent. Just like Eto said how do you expect respect if you aren't receiving it
swapped number without consent? from who? the club preident?
he is the manager, he can swap numbers as many times a he wants. who the fuck is Eto to give consent. Eto has signed a contract. Guardiola can put him in the 2nd team if he wants
Guardiola explains it on his book. Eto is a player. Doesn't matter what position he plays or the coach has played in the past. With that criteria, the coach could only coach the players that play in his former position. Guardiola decided to protect the team instead of having a few spoiled kids... Eto, Roni, were two of them... History says Pep was right and Barcelona went on to become one of the greatest teams people have ever seen in those years... winning 18 out of 21 titles in play or something around that...
Eto does not have football ethic and this video is proof of it. He has no problem in sharing personal matters and that's a big no-no in soccer and among soccer players. That's the reason he was sold to another team. Sometimes, having an awesome player that brings conflict in a team is not the right thing for the team and this video proves it well... Eto is a great forward, Ibra is also a great forward, but there weren't the best forwards for Barcelona at that particular time, that's all.... Alexis Sanches is also a great player, but he was simply not the best fit. There are many examples like this. Being a coach is not about having the best players, is about having the right players.
ummm Inter went on to win a treble and a huge part of that was because of Eto'o. I bet deep down Pep knows he mishandled Eto'o and should have kept him around for a couple more years.
Great freakin interview! Barca legend! Never got the credit and love he deserves.
Indeed in in 2006 he was 3rd best player in the world.
I'm Barcelona fan but pep really pissed me off when he sold etto and yaya, pep doesn't like strong personality players like etto and ibrahimovic because he wants to control the players like a little kids at school, I don't ignore his smart mind in football but I don't respect his personality
"he wants to control the players like a little kids at school" lol, you certainly have watch ibra and eto interview but have you watched henry ones? and puyol, cryuff?..
Rishan Shrestha I did and to let you know I am barca fan since 2004 ,I'm not saying pep is bad person but I trying to say what he did with etto ,ibra and toure was completely wrong, Morinho took out the best of ibra and etto in inter and Manchester United because he knows how to deal with big players
You mean he doesn't like players who don't do as they're fucking told?
what did pep told to eto'o ?
Cockoff Gewgle lol pep know only about tiki taka and if there is a player who don't want or can't play this style of football he sell him. A Great coach can take any group of players with their unique strengths and weaknesses and lead them to glory. Sorry, but Pep thinks football is a video game..you can't buy or sell players like that. He can only play with players with low-medium high, to have great balance, great technique with the ball, passing abilities and vision. Every coach needs great players to their team, but it doesn't matter to them their style of play, if they got an attacking or defensive fullback, if they got a striker who can't dribble, but can win battles in the air to score headers. They will make the team great as it is.
Many good players had difficult times with Guardiola!!!
because only Pep Guardiola doesn't let these stars to do and to say all what they want. He is a COACH
Do you watched the video anyway?
Jo Mateix because Pep wants obedient players which will do all that Pep says.
And I can comfirm it. Messi is an incredible player one of the best in history of football but he doesn’t have that big ego that would prevent Pep from doing what he want.
Pep doesn’t know how to work with big personalities and a beautiful example is with Eto’o, Zlatan, Ronaldinho and Yaya.
Sorry for my english. I’m from Czech Republic but I’m doing my best.
@@jomateix5477 then you want to destroy the talent of players becouse when you have three classic players in one position
Let the playera go but dont destroy with bench
that interviewer wanted Eto to say something negative about Messi even after such a great interview
Media made him look bad, He made me love football.
media always makes blacks look bad. nothing new here, funny how they never make their own european racist countries look bad. again, nothing new.
Eto'o still looks like he's just 26....😍
Of course professional athletes don't age quick...
@ He's 38.
He also acts like he's 26.
This man can lead a community, a country. Good luck to him at the helm of Cameroon 🇨🇲 football
What Yaya said is starting to make sense...
Yes, totally! Especially what he said about Guardiola not being a genius and an hipocrite. An opportunist who grab Cruyff inventions as his own.
Yes, totally! Especially what he said about Guardiola not being a genius and an hipocrite. An opportunist who grabbed Cruyff inventions as his own. Guardiola at Man City already has spent more 200 millions than Mourinho at Man UTd, and had by far the best team. Than people say that Mourinho doesn't improve players. He at least tries to improve them. If Guardiola don't like a player the player is finished. Look how he improved Joe Hart, Nolito or Yaya :)
Nooo i don't believe What Toure said because He wanted to play in Xavi place he didn't what to play as a defensive midfielder he wanted to play as box to box mid then Guardiola decide to bring Serio Bousquets
I don't defend Pep but this is the case
Aaaah, the racist card again. 🤣
Le plus grand joueur Africain. Merci Eto pour les souvenirs.
8:00.
Xavi: "Negro, we want you to stay"
Like if you noticed also 😂😂😂👌
thumbs up to Eto'o for not being a sensitive ass bitch, even though he had his tantrym moments refusing to play earlier.
It’s normal in Spain apparently
only americans are sensative
@@amzariblack7993 im not American let one son of a bitch call me that, spaniards are racist to the core
@@severusfloki5778 in Portugal is the other way around when they want to ofend u they call tou black (preto) instead of negro so to us preto wich means Black its an ofense
tonnes of respect from korea. probably the best striker of all time. a lot of respect
Now Eden Hazard is forgotten man, just as Etoo said in his statement.
one of the realest football interviews I've ever seen
Eto is so cool
Three players that made me fell into FC Barcelona was Ronaldinho, Eto'o, Deco. And I was angry when the club sold Eto'o while he still at the best performance, then what? We lose to Inter in Champions League.
The best interview of all time .
Respect is a two-way street, if you want to get it, you’ve got to give it. Tokossss 👊 Mr. Eto'o stay bless buddy🤣
-Harvey Specter.
I wonder if Eto'o have watched Suits 🤔
Samuel Eto is a great guy,i never liked Guardiola too.
4:32 - 4:38 part .... Ouch ...
I like the part when he said: '' Ronaldinho was the best player in the world or the best player of all time, because he was unbelievably good.''
He didn't say so about messi
@@mosaic.emom1234 messi was probably only 19 at that time
Still Ronaldinho is the best of all time. He just had a shitty Career but Messi can't compare Ronaldinho in his prime.
This was quite a speech, he'd clearly thought a lot about it. And DAMN he has a good memory to remember so many specific details about all his various goals and matches. Most people can't remember what they ate for lunch yesterday.
That’s how you know someone is saying the truth
Damn Watching this , if what Eto say is ture (which i believe ), so is this also how he treat Joe Hart too?
Joe Hart recently gave an interview about how things went down between him and Guardiola.
kudokensei a
Just read Ibrahimovic book.
Sir Alonne Vincent Han Yep, that's why Zlatan had a fight with him and Yaya Toure, Bojan and several more.
kudokensei Well is that the honest raw truth or the polite political correct one?
This guy from cameroon so he speak french, played in spain and england so he speak english and latin. With that languages he can literally travel 2/3 if the world and has no language barrier
Eto'o is finee!!!! God is amazing creating beautiful and talented people..
This is why I will always prefer Mourinho over Pep
They both have bad egos but Mourinho cares about the players a bit more
mourinho cares about the players a bit more? Have you been blind last season with chelsea? How is that caring
His gameplan didn't work out, that doesn't mean he treats them with disrespect. Haven't you seen Zlatan's interview a while back?
Nope i haven't, this is actually one of the first interviews of players i've seen. I just see that he doesnt care about his players, maybe sometimes ago (i guess you were referring about zlatan at inter with mou?)
North Polaris Mourinho was just as bad to Mata and Lukaku and David luis
Eto is a legend !!! Best fifa 07/08 I played with him and Messi ! I love Eto!
I lived in Côte d'Ivoire for 18 months and I was surprised to see that Eto'o was more popular there than Drogba despite being a Cameroonian. Anyway, I loved Eto'o as our no 9 for so many years who guaranteed goals and his grit and determination is exemplary. He is also a very honest man who says things how they are. But Eto'o must have understood one thing that Guardiola himself was very young too when he took over the 1st team. At 38 Guardiola didn't have to be a matured man but Eto'o surr as hell was younger than Pep too. A coach has to be respected despite his/her age, Julian Nagelsman took over a Bundesliga 1st team when he was 29, I'm sure he was respectful to the senior players who were elder than him but they never disrespected Nagelsman. Pep is a La Masia graduate who was a ball boy at Camp Nou, a captain for so long too, he was respected by all players in the club; Pep may not have been very comfortable talking to everyone being so young. Eto'o should have known it. Eto'o journey in other clubs didn't go as great- despite winning tteble at Inter he didn't score many goals and literally played at right back position in Mou's tactical scheme. His unprofessionalism was well documented in Chelsea and Everton. He played for money in later years in lower quality national leagues because his agent almost ruined his life by misappropriating his money and properties. However he fought legally and won. I still wish him all the best. He now openly claims that Pep is the best coach in the world; I'm sure Pep said sorry later on.
Sure, he will say it once he is on camera. Like a wuss.
I miss this guy. As a rival he was one of my favourite as I was growing up..
Whoever reading this have a great day
Proud of you 👍 from Senegal 🇸🇳
Thanks for all the moments you gave us to treasure Eto'o. I thoroughly enjoyed them. Especially those at Barca.
Samuel is an honest man thats why people love him.i dont think hes lying about these stories samuel is not perfect hes able to tell the truth to anybody even if it was his father
Wow the great has spoken
Behind every humble quiet individual lies an intelligent genius
Best interview I've seen regarding football. Period.
What a great character! A legend off the field and most definitely on it.
Eto speaks such clear French I can actually understand him :)
French is spoken in a lot of African countries you know

The interview that never gets old.
i like Pep, but i love Eto'o! one of the players that made me love football!
At the end 11:47 the journalist tried to get him to say he deserved the ballon d’or mais il dit Leo la bien mérite. What a class act!
What makes coaches great ?
-Their ability to work with difficult players and get the best performance from them.
Ty Alex plus the ability to kick out the cocky superstars who think they know better than the coach & puts arguement like 'you weren't a great player,you were just a good midfieder, unlike me- i am a great striker, so i know better about strikers role.'
because he doesn't know hot to give good feedback and does think behind his back, he was already being disrespectful with him since the start, he talked back at the time when he was already mad at him.
@@medman195
Pep Guardiola already disrespected Eto'o. Eto'o was just returning the favor.
Guardiola is a good tactician but bad person. Look at how he treated players he didn't like. Kicking Joe Hart (club legend) out of Man City as if he own the place, especially when Hart helped Man City reached UCL semifinal previous season.
Eto'o at this time was one of the best forwards in the world and how Pep treated him was disrespectful. These Pep stories are pretty consistent...so many players speaking out against him
I read somewhere he is also very generous with his teammates...bought everyone a fucking rolex. Respect.
What show is this? It was a great watch, and rare as an American TV watcher to see someone given such a long time to tell a story without being interrupted or cutting to commercial break.
Also does he speak about his time in Inter with Mourinho during this too?
Matthew Gross yeah it’s standard tv format for mainland Europe. Britain is more like America when it comes to adverts
It's a show called "Le club du dimanche" ("Sunday's club") on Bein Sports France, we don't have a lot of commercials here like in american tv
TrequartistaFM c cop
Yes. The full interview is 1 hour long
@@radicalmatamune where can I find the full interview?
Please share the link
I’m back to watch this greatest interview
This is a true account of Pep.. lots of players have publicly spoken about his character. His burning desire to win football matches sometimes outweigh the basic respect he should give to his players.
Who are these "lots of players"?
wow I really like eto now, really intelligent nd very open and truth seeking kinda guy not afraid to step outside the box verbally and psychologically.
This truly shows how Pep treats his forwards, first eto'o, then ibra
Abdul Hammad listen , ibra wasn't pepe buy. it was Barcelona board that got him. and pepe likes his attackers to press the ball. ibra too lazy to press. when ibra left Barcelona won the Champions League
Abdul Hammad Bingo. Pep has an allergic disease called forwarditis, he hates 'forwards' 😂😂😂.
Had problems with Aguero too. Pep just likes false 9s
Total *Respects* to *Eto'o* on the field and off field.
He was so right abt eden hazard
just found it,, truly honest confession from a great player..especially the part with hazarf.. Respect samuel..
Ibrahimovic says the same thing about Pepe Guardiola...
Ibrahamovic also said Gaurdiola is a philosopher n by far the best Manager . See Gaurdiola's whole game plan is based on Tactics , he wanted Zlatan to play what Henry did. On the left flank. He was not co-operating so he sold him. Same with Eto. Yaya never had problems with Pep like that , Both Zlatan n Eto have Ego n the whole world knws abt this. Would u want a player who doesn't listen to u ? I won't
Such a humble and well spoken player I have so much respect for him
ETo you are a LEGEND!
wow
really surprised, very articulate. i enjoyed listening to him
one of the best players of this time
I felt I just watched Nas tell a story about Jay Z about their beef. Respect to Eto'o
Would like to see Pep win a Champions League with a team like Porto not only with rich teams and teams that already have the best players before he arrives
never gonna happen.h e cant even win cl with bayern or city. lol
I never understood back then why Barca sold out Eto, he was amazing for me, now i know.
brilliant interview,thanks for uploading
This story has a lot of similarities to ibrahimovic's story. It seems like guardiola doesn't respect great forward players. What a shame.
Much respect to Eto'o..Much Respect! ❤❤❤ He goes in history as a legend...Gardiola not! Gardiola didn't do.a thing for football....
Eto'o is an absolute legend
He speaks very well. Very articulate and clear
Pep is just lucky he had Messi and that great group of players ... look at City now
But the thing is, he made them that squad. Think back. He sold Ronaldinho, Deco, Edmilson, Thuram and Zambrotta, bought Alves, Keita, Hleb, Cáceres and Piqué, promoted Pedro and Busquets.
He should have been worse off; after all, all five of the players he sold were consistent starters, Deco was world class, Ronaldinho was sui generis. Only Alves was a definite upgrade compared to whom he replaced at that time. But, his team collected 20 more points, won every single thing they competed for, etc.
In every single competition, Barca has been worse before and after him. How do you figure he was just lucky?
do you really think that a team with messi, eto'o, xavi, iniesta and alves could win 6 trophies if their manager was mourinho or ancelotti or ferguson? no. guardiola is a football genius. BUT, in order to manifest his football ideas on the pitch, he needs the right players for that. and manchester city has only 1 world class player, and that's de bruyne. in bayern, guardiola had successful seasons, despite what everyone says. you can't win 6 trophies every year. he couldn't repeat the same thing with the same players like xavi messi iniesta. it's like a computer. you have the best graphic card in the world. but if your processor and RAM memory sucks, the graphic card will never perform as it should. guardiola and that group of players were the perfect combination which will hardly be repeated, ever.
aguero says otherwise
Mr. Mevutrovich Of course they could win them why not?
Have they ever done that?
He seems like a great guy to chill with
As a chelsea fan it's sad to see that everything Eto'o said to Hazard turned out to be true
Eto' o has some great comedy and I love it.
Eto is great player
love this kind of interview. great insight
So basically Pep is one of those guys that know how to act in front of camera's...
What a player, even a better man…respect legend
Guardiola is really like that, i saw once the Bayern Training where Thiago made a Trick and done a great Assist for the Goal and Guardiola stops the Training and yelling No No No don't do this do this and that. This Man telling the Media that the Player is injuried to hide He's angry emotion about him letting him not play so the Fans aren't angry at him.
P.s sorry for my bad Englisch 😅
Hum..I dont know... players cannot just do tricks and go about doing whatever they want in the game. Even if they play well, that can be toxic to the whole group, because if a trainer tolerates one player not following direction, soon, the whole team will start doing the same. I dont think it was a question of Eto not playing well, but more of what influence he could have on the team
Eto'd à une belle personalité. Beautiful
From 3:15 to 3:25 he calls out eden hazard to train.. and well clearly he doesn't..
Samuel Eto’o was spot on with Hazard
the result is there, pep has won everything with his method
He wouldn't have won a treble without Eto'o.
diego u Eto'o went on and won again the very next season with Inter
diego u....any coach could win with Barcelona and Bayern Munich.
Guardiola is not a good leader.
The premier league is teaching him one or two lessons now.
yeah and pep went on to win a bunch of shit a bunch of seasons after that
diego u what world you live in. What competition did he have in Bayern( none) what about Barcelona. U have at least 5 guys every year that are on fifa Xi, messi on your side too. Real Madrid and later Atletico the only real challenge for them. Look at him now
I’m not an expert, but I think he tells the truth. Sheds, for me, a whole new light on the way Ibrahimovic thinks about Guardiola. I can understand that now
Legend ❤️
Thank you very much for translating this
Before you hate on Guardiola, think about this:
Nobody is perfect, so neither is Eto'o. Some of the things he said could be exaggerated or even lies. The "look at Henry's and Messi's faces" is laughable.
At this point, it's obvious that Pep has neither Mourinho's confrontational charisma (that makes you agree with him even when he's screwing you over) nor Ancelotti's charisma (that makes you agree with him whatever happens). But Pep is the man that best took advantage of talents such as Messi, Xavi or Iniesta. He's the man with the most impressive spell at a club *ever*. He changed football.
If I were manager at any club, my priority would be the club's success. Maybe Eto'o is right to hate Pep, but Barcelona and football fans in general need to respect him for his accomplishments.
Put Messi, Ronaldo, Suarez, Neymar, Iniesta, Bale and all the other top players in a single team. Not enough. To win the Sextuple, you need a genius coach, and Pep is the only one.
eto'o just isn't the type of striker that the ideal pep's team needs, no one is right or wrong here, guardiola puts a whole lot of stock into his "plan" for the next game and eto'o has that huge ego that any world class striker should have, and he doesn't understand how a striker that scores so much is not ideal for any team so he takes it personal
bigguy4uu he was a huge part of them winning so he thought what did i do wrong there
Dave Kent pep didn't change football Barca or you can say Messi did because let's be honest coaches are not responsible for what players do on the pitch
Sasuke 15 let's be honest? then how come players can change so much in quality under a different manager? nobody's saying coaches are all that matter, but they're obviously a decisive factor
Just like Ibra says, respect him as the amazing coach he is, disrespect him for his personality
I never understood Pep's decision to sell Eto. He was light years better striker than the overrated choking machine Ibrahimovic!
He gives good insight as to who the problematic one actually was. He was asked only about Pep, but all of a sudden you get to learn he also had issues with Rijkaard, was pissed off so much by Ronaldinho that he couldn't do without saying it, and Henry being happy to get number 9 also stayed with him all those years. He also says they got together and made peace, but you can see he isn't at peace whatsoever. He really is a problematic personality. He can't even help giving himself away.
I wish barca didn't have etoo in 2009 final. United wud have won.
Before his goal it was all united dominating
Thank God Eto'o came to us. He won the champions league with Inter
Lol at the hates on Pep. I am a professional engineer, and I too, when trying to assemble a team for any task, would try to avoid including such fiery character into the team. Of course that person may bring results like any other very talented people would, but whats the most important is the teamwork to bring the best out of others as well. I dont need one individual in my team to harp on about 'respect me for what Ive done', that would take more time unnecessarily to manage.
Pep has not specifically address on this issue. I wont either. It is not worth the time, neither it is needed.
It's football not engineering and you weren't there to comment on what the gripes are. Yes, some players are difficult to manage, but that's the whole point of being a manager of talented individuals who are men, not boys, as football likes to treat them. Plus, there is a pattern that has emerged showing Guardiola to be a bit of a precious and a practitioner of favouritism. Some of the success seems to be despite himself.
You're an awful leader if you fail to bring the best out of everyone you lead. Passive aggressiveness is for weak people. You're weak
"PROFESSIONAL" 🤦🏻♂️
You mean you prefer a %yes% man? Typical manager. Not a leader.
Then you don't know how to build a great team, if you are unable to manage tough members that brings you great value. Your leadership skills are not as high as you think they are, in this case.
What a guy. Learning more from this guy
Eto and zlatan need to write a book together...about the real Barcelona
I love this guy, he is real.
Funny how his title winning sides had shit testomonials from such great players at each of the clubs he has managed. No wonder Yaya Toure must've been dreading to see him again at city
