Ilkay Gundogan had some very kind words for Pep Guardiola after his comeback to Manchester City.
Manchester City star Ilkay Gundogan has spoken about working under two legendary coaches.
Gundogan came to prominence at Borussia Dortmund under Jurgen Klopp and has since worked under City manager Pep Guardiola for many years, while also learning from Xavi Hernandez at Barcelona.
“Before Guardiola, I knew nothing about football”
In an interview with ESPN, the German midfielder looked back on these different experiences: “Before I joined Man City, I thought I knew football. I was 25 or 26 and I thought I had seen a lot, I had won leagues and cups. But now, after seven years at Pep’s school, I would probably say I knew nothing about football before.”
The former German international therefore learned more under Guardiola than under Klopp: “His influence, not only on the team, but also on me personally, has been immense. The aspects, the little details of the game that he has taught me and shown us, I think it’s very special.”
