The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich manager has claimed that if his tactical approach stopped working, he would give up the game
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola revealed he would retire if possession-based football was unable to achieve results.
“If that is going to happen, I’m going to retire, because I don’t feel it another way,” Guardiola said.
“I could defend more deep, but I want to have the ball and I want to play. From my first game with the second team in Barcelona, I always try to look for that.
“Sometimes it doesn’t work, but that’s because the other team is good or we are not good enough.
“But the idea [of changing], that is not going to happen. Never. Never in my life.”
