Former Manchester United defender, Patrice Evra, has targeted Manchester City boss, Pep Guardiola, accusing the Spaniard of killing the game of football.
The former Premier League star had previously stated that he is happy not to have been managed by Guardiola.
The Frenchman, who played for a plethora of clubs in England and other European countries during his playing days, retired from football in 2019.
Evra has since expressed that he is not a fan of Pep Guardiola’s style of football.
Speaking with his former Manchester United teammate, Rio Ferdinand, Evra criticized the former Barcelona coach’s football philosophy.
He said, “I think Guardiola is one of the best managers. But Guardiola killed the game. And when I say that, people will say because it’s United and City.
“No! Because now we’ve got robots. Academy, everyone wants to play like Guardiola. The goalkeeper has to be a number 10.
“A defender center back needs to tackle, put his head, like, those kinds of things. But now everyone wants to play amazingly.
“This tiki-taka only Guardiola can do it. Everyone is copying Guardiola, we have no creativity; we have no genius anymore.”
