Valenti Guardiola, the father of Manchester City coach Josep Guardiola, spoke about his methods of raising his son.
- When I was 14, I worked 10 hours a day on a construction site and cycled 12 kilometres. My children, including Pep, grew up accustomed to work, just like me - to work, work and work again. He inherited this from his father.
You need to live 24 hours a day for your work. It doesn't matter if you are a bricklayer like me or a coach like Pep. He lives football around the clock. Only football. He is sick with it - we talked about different topics, and he started talking about football at the age of five - even then he did not part with the ball," said Valenti Guardiola.
