Milan's Zlatan Ibrahimovic: Pep Guardiola Was My Only Problem At Barcelona

 

"At Barcelona I understood how football and things can change so fast... my problem was one man, the 'philosopher' [Guardiola]," he told 'Eurogoals' on Eurosport.it.

 

"I never had any problems with anyone, there is no one who can say I did something wrong. The first six months [at Camp Nou] were excellent. But then something happened, even I don't know what. I am still waiting for answers. If you don't have someone to motivate you then you don't want to fight, this is why there are coaches. I would have killed for Jose Mourinho, for the motivation he gave me and for how he used to stimulate me. With the other [Guardiola] there was football, but a coach must adapt his play to suit the players, especially after spending $70 million on one."
