I heard "il parlait pas catalan". One way or another, it's weird because Guardiola was born in Catalonia. I was just translating what he said.

It's more like "Il parle un peu en catalan", after listening to it several times!

Oh, Now I get it... Thanks!

Guardiola speaks Catalan at every opportunity. I am Catalan. It's the only way our language will survive.

Yeah, makes more sense that Etoo has a small grasp of Catalan, and for Guardiola who is born, bred, proud political defender of catalunya who speaks it every day to be the fluent one...

You don't understand.

yes an arsenal side that went past Real Madrid, Juventus

raptor theok i believe he was referring to the fact that Arsenal were ahead while playing with only 10 men.

AND NEVER WIN THE TROPHY AFTERALL LMAO

lmaooo i know i know

And he speaks at least 3 languages.

What language is he speaking now

Brandon Pruter French, obviously.

andrew7taylor

Why is he speaking French so well? Isn't he African?

Thank you, I did the translation.

Haha. If he ever says something that is publicly misconstrued or misrepresented, I'll be glad to do the same. I mainly did this video because the English media only reported a few quotes of this interview and not the full story Eto'o gave.

I also speak french as a 3rd language, and I agree this was well done.

Could’ve been better

well,if you look at the situation,i actually remember the time when eto played for barca.He was distrupting the team harmony,and plus him and ronaldinho were great players,but a bit aging,and messi was getting better and better,so it wasnt a abd decision on Pep s behalf.

17genc pep did the same thing with Harry Arter. He made sure to talk to him on the pitch right in front of the cameras

Pep could had shaken hands in the tunnel with EtoÓ. But he chose to shook his hands in front of the camera. And that makes me think twice! And I also thinking about Pep and Zlatan.... that relationship wasn't that good either!

Pep was shaking everybodys hand, it would have been strange if he had avoided Etoo. now Etoo is making a big deal about it when it was just nothing. and you were talking about Mourinho. well Mourinho and Pep seem to hate eachother and they still shake hands, not because they like eachother but because its custom

well spoken LOOL, the bloke can't talk for more than 1mn without making dumb grammatical mistakes

Rasist

he said "good coach, bad person"

​@@obeidngai7625if he was racist, he wouldn't have a feud with Zlatan. His problem is that he want his players to be soldiars who do nothing but obeying his command. He doesn't like egoistic players because he himself has ego issues.

​@@ahnafabtahy2260Can you blame him? Look at Zlatan and look at Thierry. Love Zlatan but he wasn't the type of player that could listen. Titi won the Champions by listening to what Pep had to say. It's obvious that the coach chooses what's best for the team.

Africans should stop this victim mentality. Pep joined Barca, took out Ronaldinho, Deco, Zambrotta and the likes, he wasn't racist then. As soon as he took out Eto'o and Yaya, he became racist. The same way he had problems with Eto'o, he also had with Zlatan, but because Zlatan isn't black or African, Pep wasn't racist then. Pep joined Bayern, had issues with the likes of Gotze, Mandzukic, he wasn't racist then. Pep Joined City, infact his first casualty at City was Joe Hart. Y'all say Pep hated Yaya, but Yaya played 2 seasons under Pep at City. Joe Hart didn't even play a single competitive game under Pep at City. Pep sold off Joe Hart, Nasri, and the likes, he wasn't racist then. As soon as he sold off Wilfred Bony and Iheanacho, he became a racist. Pep didn't work well with Nolito, Ferran Torres, Jesus Navas, his fellow Spaniards, Pep sold them all. He wasn't racist. Pep had issues with Aguero, if Aguero was African, Pep would have been a racist again. Pep had issues with Cancelo, if Cancelo was Black/African, Pep would have been a racist again. Alex Ferguson in his 26-year reign at Man Utd didn't have up to 10 African players in his teams, infact, aside Quinton Fortune, Djemba Djemba and Manucho, I can't remember any other African that played for Man Utd under Ferguson, but no one calls him a racist. We all saw the circumstances that led to Mane's departure from Liverpool, if it was Pep as manager, Pep would have been a racist again. But it's not Pep, so it's normal. Tuchel sold off T.Abraham, preferring T.Werner, if it were Pep, he would have been a racist, since it's not Pep, it's normal. You know what gladdens me about this whole thing is that in the end, Pep is the most successful manager in world football today. His decisions still paid dividends. He's achieved it all. Y'all can hate him all you want, it still won't take a hair off him, still won't reduce his achievements. I am African, and I refuse to have this stu-pid victim mentality. Peace ✌️.

yeah, exactly... knocking Pep in the process!

Pep is a very dishonest and deceiving person it seems

***** clearly!

pep indeed did bad to eto but eto aint good either you cant go face to face with manager and expect to get treated fairly, what is he,a 10 year old kid[no disrespect to him]??? and about Bayern players robben, neuer they were angry with pep cuz he was trying to apply tiki-taka gameplay to bayern and they were against it, there was a interview with pep, he said "robben neuer argued with pep to play old way[the way they used to play with Heynckes as manager] in 2nd leg after losing 1-0 against real madrid at home in 1st leg.. And they got fked.. 4-0..

Rishan Shrestha i hear you mate.

Deepak Sharma he’s African, it’s in our blood 😉

xavlexav Ronaldo, Zidane, Figo, Raul, Beckham, were better. Imo.

Irving Valdez no cos they never won anything

Irving Valdez They were individual football stars But their chemistry wasn't even close to barcalonas

they had guily to he was damm good.

that team had roberto carlos to

It shows humility but Eto'o deserved it more. We kniw this and even him knows this deep down. He scored the most goals. And made a difference every short time he came in to the pitch changing the game. But sometimes people just count their blessings.

@@henshawosong5469 There are people saying Xavi deserved it, or that Iniesta deserved it more, or even Ronaldo. There are two things we know for sure though: 1. Messi was an absolute force of nature in 2009, it should be almost illegal to have this amount of talent. 2. Eto'o absolutely did not deserve a number 10 placing in that voting.

@@MrLifein66 your opinion

@@henshawosong5469 Sure, I guess. But the same goes for you. Only difference is that my opinion is backed by the majority of the Ballon d'Or voters. Also, from what I saw, Eto'o didn't score the most goals, so you are mistaken there. 2008/9 season Eto'o scored 36 goals. Messi scored 38. All excluding country goals. With country, Messi scored 41 and Eto'o was at 38.

@@MrLifein66Who assisted Messi that Season 😂, and Eto'O Deserved it bc he scored the winning goals in the UCL finals, and lets not forget to mention those back to back trebles after being stabbed in the back by Pep. 😂 Messi is an industry planet 💀🤣

media always makes blacks look bad. nothing new here, funny how they never make their own european racist countries look bad. again, nothing new.

true blacks are immortal

If a player acts like a diva he has no place in Barcelona. Barcelona was more successful with out Ronaldinho and Eto. That’s the truth.

j ross lol u crazy eto'o was a goal machine

DEMO Relax that has nothing to do with what I just mentioned.

Guardiola isn't arrogant at all. He was just assembling a team that not only has good players but good characters too. Players that don't harm the dressing room. Same is happening with city. Players like Sanchez are being snubbed off because of their character. It's clear from this interview how much butthurt he is.

because only Pep Guardiola doesn't let these stars to do and to say all what they want. He is a COACH

Do you watched the video anyway?

Jo Mateix because Pep wants obedient players which will do all that Pep says. And I can comfirm it. Messi is an incredible player one of the best in history of football but he doesn’t have that big ego that would prevent Pep from doing what he want. Pep doesn’t know how to work with big personalities and a beautiful example is with Eto’o, Zlatan, Ronaldinho and Yaya. Sorry for my english. I’m from Czech Republic but I’m doing my best.

@@jomateix5477 then you want to destroy the talent of players becouse when you have three classic players in one position Let the playera go but dont destroy with bench

Tarek El-Maddah Eto and Drogba

GistTech I think Eto'o was better than Drogba ...

WEAH BALLON D'OR WİNNER TWICE AND THE ONLY AFRICAN TO WIN

Well, Weah was great no doubt ... but he hasn't played in Messi and Ronaldo era ... he wouldn't have won one single ballon d'ohr

Tarek El-Maddah bruh if you mean el fhenemanon they played in same era but if it is cristiano hes not better,weah won it against bergkamp,fhenamenon,zidane and many more,its like saying ronaldo is better than bergkamp or zidane

"he wants to control the players like a little kids at school" lol, you certainly have watch ibra and eto interview but have you watched henry ones? and puyol, cryuff?..

Rishan Shrestha I did and to let you know I am barca fan since 2004 ,I'm not saying pep is bad person but I trying to say what he did with etto ,ibra and toure was completely wrong, Morinho took out the best of ibra and etto in inter and Manchester United because he knows how to deal with big players

You mean he doesn't like players who don't do as they're fucking told?

what did pep told to eto'o ?

Cockoff Gewgle lol pep know only about tiki taka and if there is a player who don't want or can't play this style of football he sell him. A Great coach can take any group of players with their unique strengths and weaknesses and lead them to glory. Sorry, but Pep thinks football is a video game..you can't buy or sell players like that. He can only play with players with low-medium high, to have great balance, great technique with the ball, passing abilities and vision. Every coach needs great players to their team, but it doesn't matter to them their style of play, if they got an attacking or defensive fullback, if they got a striker who can't dribble, but can win battles in the air to score headers. They will make the team great as it is.

Indeed in in 2006 he was 3rd best player in the world.

etoo was being an asshole telling the manager that the manager wasnt a striker so he sholdnt tell him how to play as a striker, thats how he got sold

thisguyrighthere3 Guardiola disrespected him openly many times he said. especially when he swapped number without consent. Just like Eto said how do you expect respect if you aren't receiving it

swapped number without consent? from who? the club preident? he is the manager, he can swap numbers as many times a he wants. who the fuck is Eto to give consent. Eto has signed a contract. Guardiola can put him in the 2nd team if he wants

Guardiola explains it on his book. Eto is a player. Doesn't matter what position he plays or the coach has played in the past. With that criteria, the coach could only coach the players that play in his former position. Guardiola decided to protect the team instead of having a few spoiled kids... Eto, Roni, were two of them... History says Pep was right and Barcelona went on to become one of the greatest teams people have ever seen in those years... winning 18 out of 21 titles in play or something around that... Eto does not have football ethic and this video is proof of it. He has no problem in sharing personal matters and that's a big no-no in soccer and among soccer players. That's the reason he was sold to another team. Sometimes, having an awesome player that brings conflict in a team is not the right thing for the team and this video proves it well... Eto is a great forward, Ibra is also a great forward, but there weren't the best forwards for Barcelona at that particular time, that's all.... Alexis Sanches is also a great player, but he was simply not the best fit. There are many examples like this. Being a coach is not about having the best players, is about having the right players.

ummm Inter went on to win a treble and a huge part of that was because of Eto'o. I bet deep down Pep knows he mishandled Eto'o and should have kept him around for a couple more years.

Of course professional athletes don't age quick...

@ He's 38.

He also acts like he's 26.

Yes, totally! Especially what he said about Guardiola not being a genius and an hipocrite. An opportunist who grab Cruyff inventions as his own.

Yes, totally! Especially what he said about Guardiola not being a genius and an hipocrite. An opportunist who grabbed Cruyff inventions as his own. Guardiola at Man City already has spent more 200 millions than Mourinho at Man UTd, and had by far the best team. Than people say that Mourinho doesn't improve players. He at least tries to improve them. If Guardiola don't like a player the player is finished. Look how he improved Joe Hart, Nolito or Yaya :)

Nooo i don't believe What Toure said because He wanted to play in Xavi place he didn't what to play as a defensive midfielder he wanted to play as box to box mid then Guardiola decide to bring Serio Bousquets I don't defend Pep but this is the case

Aaaah, the racist card again. 🤣

Joe Hart recently gave an interview about how things went down between him and Guardiola.

kudokensei a

Just read Ibrahimovic book.

Sir Alonne Vincent Han Yep, that's why Zlatan had a fight with him and Yaya Toure, Bojan and several more.

kudokensei Well is that the honest raw truth or the polite political correct one?

thumbs up to Eto'o for not being a sensitive ass bitch, even though he had his tantrym moments refusing to play earlier.

It’s normal in Spain apparently

only americans are sensative

@@amzariblack7993 im not American let one son of a bitch call me that, spaniards are racist to the core

@@severusfloki5778 in Portugal is the other way around when they want to ofend u they call tou black (preto) instead of negro so to us preto wich means Black its an ofense

4:32 - 4:38 part .... Ouch ...

He didn't say so about messi

@@mosaic.emom1234 messi was probably only 19 at that time

Still Ronaldinho is the best of all time. He just had a shitty Career but Messi can't compare Ronaldinho in his prime.

That’s how you know someone is saying the truth

-Harvey Specter. I wonder if Eto'o have watched Suits 🤔

They both have bad egos but Mourinho cares about the players a bit more

mourinho cares about the players a bit more? Have you been blind last season with chelsea? How is that caring

His gameplan didn't work out, that doesn't mean he treats them with disrespect. Haven't you seen Zlatan's interview a while back?

Nope i haven't, this is actually one of the first interviews of players i've seen. I just see that he doesnt care about his players, maybe sometimes ago (i guess you were referring about zlatan at inter with mou?)

North Polaris Mourinho was just as bad to Mata and Lukaku and David luis

Sure, he will say it once he is on camera. Like a wuss.

Ty Alex plus the ability to kick out the cocky superstars who think they know better than the coach & puts arguement like 'you weren't a great player,you were just a good midfieder, unlike me- i am a great striker, so i know better about strikers role.'

because he doesn't know hot to give good feedback and does think behind his back, he was already being disrespectful with him since the start, he talked back at the time when he was already mad at him.

@@medman195 Pep Guardiola already disrespected Eto'o. Eto'o was just returning the favor. Guardiola is a good tactician but bad person. Look at how he treated players he didn't like. Kicking Joe Hart (club legend) out of Man City as if he own the place, especially when Hart helped Man City reached UCL semifinal previous season.

Abdul Hammad listen , ibra wasn't pepe buy. it was Barcelona board that got him. and pepe likes his attackers to press the ball. ibra too lazy to press. when ibra left Barcelona won the Champions League

Abdul Hammad Bingo. Pep has an allergic disease called forwarditis, he hates 'forwards' 😂😂😂.

Had problems with Aguero too. Pep just likes false 9s

never gonna happen.h e cant even win cl with bayern or city. lol

Who are these "lots of players"?

Ibrahamovic also said Gaurdiola is a philosopher n by far the best Manager . See Gaurdiola's whole game plan is based on Tactics , he wanted Zlatan to play what Henry did. On the left flank. He was not co-operating so he sold him. Same with Eto. Yaya never had problems with Pep like that , Both Zlatan n Eto have Ego n the whole world knws abt this. Would u want a player who doesn't listen to u ? I won't

Hum..I dont know... players cannot just do tricks and go about doing whatever they want in the game. Even if they play well, that can be toxic to the whole group, because if a trainer tolerates one player not following direction, soon, the whole team will start doing the same. I dont think it was a question of Eto not playing well, but more of what influence he could have on the team

But the thing is, he made them that squad. Think back. He sold Ronaldinho, Deco, Edmilson, Thuram and Zambrotta, bought Alves, Keita, Hleb, Cáceres and Piqué, promoted Pedro and Busquets. He should have been worse off; after all, all five of the players he sold were consistent starters, Deco was world class, Ronaldinho was sui generis. Only Alves was a definite upgrade compared to whom he replaced at that time. But, his team collected 20 more points, won every single thing they competed for, etc. In every single competition, Barca has been worse before and after him. How do you figure he was just lucky?

do you really think that a team with messi, eto'o, xavi, iniesta and alves could win 6 trophies if their manager was mourinho or ancelotti or ferguson? no. guardiola is a football genius. BUT, in order to manifest his football ideas on the pitch, he needs the right players for that. and manchester city has only 1 world class player, and that's de bruyne. in bayern, guardiola had successful seasons, despite what everyone says. you can't win 6 trophies every year. he couldn't repeat the same thing with the same players like xavi messi iniesta. it's like a computer. you have the best graphic card in the world. but if your processor and RAM memory sucks, the graphic card will never perform as it should. guardiola and that group of players were the perfect combination which will hardly be repeated, ever.

aguero says otherwise

Mr. Mevutrovich Of course they could win them why not?

Have they ever done that?
