Guardiola asked Neymar to join Bayern,told his father Tito dont know to use both Neymar and Messi

Guardiola lobbied for Bayern against Barca

Through the Santos, Neymar's father met with Pep Guardiola. Odílio revealed to the Council that the Spanish coach suggested Neymar play at Bayern Munich, his new club, which would have "real opportunities to be among the best in the world."

Guardiola would have said that the current Barca coach (Tito Vilanova) could not use Messi and Neymar together. The conversation swung the player, but not the father of the athlete. Representatives also came to Milan to negotiate with gypsum. But Neymar wanted Barcelona.

So 2 legends and pioneers of the system Barca plays today has claimed that Neymar and Messi won't work (Cruyff and Pep)

Pep didn't say they won't work together, he said Tito doesn't know how to use them.

Umm where did it say that? Pep said Tito don't know how to make it work, not that it won't work.

Tito would figure it would.

so nerman-messi isn't gonna be as easy as most want to believe then? Cruyff gonna be ultimate goat if he get this right in the end

Tito couldn't manage a chip shop ffs, he isn't fit enough to manage Barcelona. No doubt Barcelona's training techniques and drills are different. The guy failed in every big tactical game that season. Pep won almost all of his. After Pep it was always going to go down hill so I sup[pose they saved themselves money at least. Sandro has done it again

Tito pls

Pep is bitter that Tito reached 100 points in La Liga in his first season as senior coach, without a backline (thanks to the unbalanced squad Pep left behind, which idiot bought Cesc again, converted Mascherano into a CB and sold anything that looks like a proper striker?), with a declining Xavi, with an injured Messi for 6 weeks and all that while fighting with cancer. Whereas Pep couldn't win an away game in La Liga to save his life last season.

No doubt Pep will destroy what Heynckes has built in no time. He has already sold the striker who has scored 75 goals in 115 Bundesliga games for them because he isn't cool enough in build-up play. Let's see how cool Pep will look when tries to play someone as false 9 who isn't able to pick up the the ball from his own half and dribble through an entire team to score.

I've never seen jimmies rustled to quite this degree.
There's still hope. Thank you young warrior

globo said they never reported that pep quote,all they said is that Pep told Neymar's father he wanted him at Bayern because there he would make of him one of the best players in the world, nothing to do with Messi

This. No evidence what so ever that Pep mentioned how the two would work at Barca...

Not sure if serious...

Gomez left because he couldn't be guaranteed to start in the season preceding the World Cup. The Bayern board is ofc. going to be sympathetic to that cause.

Doesn't Barca have a sporting director? He's the one ultimately responsible for signings.

Given that this thread was started from a blatant lie or fabrication that both the original "source" and Pep have denied it should be closed.
