Guardiola praises LFC academy

[the count]

Guardiola is quoted as telling Catalan radio "la academia del Liverpool es la unica que puede competirle a "La Masia" del Barcelona FC."

" the academy of the Liverpool is the only one that can compare to La Masia of Barcelona FC."

Also goes on to say “If they can manage those lads, then maybe 20 star players can arrive from that academy.”


So genuine praise or just being kind to a couple of Barca old boys who he probably worked closely with?

Probably a bit of both.

he'd have a fair idea what they did at Barca and is probably worried they might be doing something similar here

Both - genuine praise, and being kind to his old pals by giving it in public.

The other week it was reported that Barca want their old boys back, so it might be more along the lines of a bit of public tapping up.

I must admit that when i heard those rumours i was a little concerned but since then they've both been promoted and Rodolfo is reserve team manager so I'm pretty sure they are sticking around. Great that he gets to take the next step with the current crop of young lads , i'm sure he'll be really pushing to get some more in the 1st team

I cant see us losing any support staff. They are loving working at Liverpool.
