Vitaliy Kvartsyaniy: "Let Guardiola try to win the Champions League with Kolos".

Famous Ukrainian coach Vitaliy Kvartsyanyi has expressed his opinion on Manchester City's style of play under Josep Guardiola.

- I congratulate Rotan and the guys on reaching the Olympics - it is a great achievement. But, to be honest, I don't quite like our style. I mean that our youth and first team try to play tiki-taka in their own penalty area. Keeping the ball in their own half more than in the other team's is a way to a dead end. Petrakov tried to harmonise football but did little with the national team.

This style was revived by Guardiola at Barcelona, but the Bayern players never understood it - they are used to playing from goal to goal. Schweinscheiger said that recently, and I criticised Guardiola for that four years ago. Now all the coaches are trying to copy him.

Guardiola at Manchester City could not win the Champions League until they bought Holland for 150 million and Grealish for 100 million. Any Ukrainian coach could achieve such a result with such an injection. Let Guardiola try to win the Champions League with Kolos," Kvartsyanyi said.
