Happy to leave Ancelotti from Real Madrid because he was defeating me all the time

Pep Guardiola is not planning to leave Manchester City soon, but the Spanish coach thought a lot about what he will be when he leads a national team, and says he loves to play the challenge of participating in the FIFA World Cup or the European Championship.

“I like to participate in the World Cup and in the European Championship or Copa America,” Guardiola said in an exclusive interview with Reuters.

“I have always thought about it,” he added. But it depends on many things. If this happens, it will be good, and if it does not happen, then there is nothing wrong. ”

After achieving 12 titles in the local league competitions in England, Spain and Germany, Guardiola finished last season without any title with City, which was a shock after all that success.

While he was subjected to some harsh criticism because of his team’s failure in all championships, Guardiola said that he is not interested in “proving the haters’ mistake” when City begins the new season.

“I want to prove to myself that I am able to do that. I do not want me to have the feeling that I had last season,” he added.

“When we win, the taste of everything is better after that, and sleeps better,” he added. I do not know a coach who loses the matches and sleeps comfortably. This does not happen. You have to worry. This is part of our lives. ”

Winning the Champions League title will be again at the top of Guardiola’s priorities with City, and if he meets again with Real Madrid, his rival Carlo Ancelotti will not be on the opposite bench after the Italian took over Brazil.

It was just mentioning Ancelotti’s departure sufficient to draw a smile on Guardiola’s lips.

The duo meet five times in the roles of the UEFA Champions League, and the Italian excels in all confrontations except for one.

“I am very happy for him, but I am very happy because he is no longer in Madrid because he defeats me all the time,” Guardiola said. I no longer have to deal with it again. ”

The Spanish coach added that it is unrealistic that everyone expects to win everything every year, and he said that even the most successful athletes they lose more than they win.

“I achieved 12 titles (in local league competitions) in 16 years, this is not bad in my opinion,” he added. But you cannot win all the time. I cannot win the Champions League all the time. ”

Guardiola, who enjoys a short vacation in Barcelona, ​​said he is just trying to live a “normal life” before football attracted him again, as City is scheduled to play in the World Cup for the expanded clubs in the United States from June 14 to July 13.
