I Learnt Something New From Guardiola Every Day – Willy Caballero

Veteran goalie, Willy Caballero has come out to say that training under Pep Guardiola is like going to university.

Caballero recently revealed that he spent one year with the Spaniard at the Etihad stadium and he learnt something new on a daily basis.

According to him, Pep was not bothered about teaching someone at 34 years old because he is a coach who can teach both young and old players.

He added that Manuel Pellegrini was the one who convinced him to join City after promising him to play him consistently in cup games.

His words, “Pep Guardiola is like going to university,”

“I spent a year with him at City, learning something new every day.

“On the playing field, watching videos or at any time, when he approaches you and explains things to you.

“He has no problem teaching someone at 34 years old, as I was, like someone who is 18. He is a great teacher.”

“Manuel Pellegrini had convinced me to go with him to Manchester City,”

“I was doing very well at Malaga, but I accepted. He had promised to keep me as a starter in the cup, although in the league, the starter was Joe Hart, the England national team’s goalkeeper.

“We reached the final and we had to play it against Liverpool. There was a lot of pressure for Hart to start the game.

“But Pellegrini said, ‘I’d rather lose a title than lose my word.’ It kept me going and we won the cup.”
