Speaking to ESPN about his former boss, Messi said: ‘Guardiola did football a lot of harm because he made it look so easy and so simple that everyone wanted to copy him,’ Messi said smiling.
‘Later I found many ‘Guardiolas’ out there and you realise what we did and what that was.’
Asked if the Spanish tactician was the best coach he’s ever had, Messi said: ‘Without a doubt.
‘He has something special, above all how he watched and prepared for matches and how he communicates, because of how he transmitted it to you.’
Messi is having a fine season after a disappointing debut campaign with Paris Saint-Germain.
