Luis Figo Defends Pep Guardiola Amid Criticism
Former footballer Luis Figo has come to the defense of Pep Guardiola, asserting that those who truly understand football would not criticize the Manchester City manager.
In light of recent criticisms directed at Pep Guardiola, former footballer Luis Figo has offered a staunch defense of the Manchester City manager. Figo stated, "Anyone who understands football knows that such situations can occur with any team or coach. While Manchester City's current form is surprising, if one team always won, there would be no competition."
He continued, "Pep doesn't need to prove anything; he's won titles with every team he's managed. Over the years, he's achieved the most victories. Therefore, if there's a downturn, he will overcome it. Those who grasp the nuances of football understand this and don't question him."
Figo's comments were made during a special La Liga event, where he also discussed Real Madrid. Addressing the club's ability to rebound from criticism, he remarked, "This is football, and it's what we experience. Depending on results, you may face criticism or praise. Real Madrid always bounces back; it's in the club's DNA. As one of the world's biggest teams, they're always contenders for every trophy and typically secure titles when in form."
