Gary Lineker marcó 52 goles en 138 partidos en su etapa en el Barcelona. Fue una de las grandes estrellas del club, e ídolo de un joven Guardiola, quien por aquel entonces era recogepelotas en los partidos del primer equipo. El exdelantero ha desvelado, en el podcast ‘Match of the Day Top 10’, una anécdota que vivió la primera vez que se encontró con el técnico catalán.
“Cuando fichó por el Manchester City, fui a hacer una entrevista con la BBC, y me dijo: ‘Antes de empezar, yo era recogepelotas en el Barcelona cuando tú jugabas. Al final de cada partido me acercaba a ti y te preguntaba: ¿Me das tu camiseta? Nunca me la diste. Y me sentí mal por ello”, empezó explicando Lineker. El británico trató de reconducir la situación: “Le expliqué: ‘Pep, esto no era como ahora. En aquella época solo teníamos una camiseta. No nos permitían regalarla”.

Su visión de Guardiola
Afortunadamente, ambos pudieron aparcar esa disputa y llevar a cabo la entrevista con normalidad. Lineker se fue con una visión real del entrenador: “Pep Guardiola a veces da la impresión de ser un poco brusco cuando habla con los medios, pero lo encontré extremadamente abierto y simpático cuando lo conocí. Quizás ayudó el hecho de que teníamos puntos en común, ya que ambos jugamos en el Barcelona y con el mismo entrenador, Johan Cruyff”.
Pep Guardiola.
Sin embargo, el jugador no recordaba el incidente que le mencionó Guardiola: “No tenía ni idea de la historia que Pep contó al principio de nuestra conversación, sobre cuando yo era jugador del Barça y él, de recogepelotas, me pidió la camiseta. Marcó el tono para el resto de la entrevista. Se notaba que tiene un lado divertido, además de la intensidad que solemos ver en él al margen o frente a las cámaras. Creo que parte de la razón por la que Pep puede ser tan brusco es porque suele ser entrevistado justo antes o inmediatamente después de un partido. Así que fue un placer hablar con él en un ambiente más relajado para conocer su opinión sobre el fútbol inglés e intentar descubrir un poco qué le motiva. Disfruté mucho entrevistándolo”.

All of college football is coming for Bill Belichick
Of all the people thrilled that Bill Belichick and UNC flamed out so spectacularly Monday night — other ACC programs, Jets fans, Robert Kraft (probably) — no crew went harder at Belichick’s neck than TCU’s social media. Deploying an array of memes, quote-tweets and one-shot jabs, TCU’s social media crew carved up Belichick, Carolina and anyone who dared to shower love on the Tar Heels prior to 8:12 p.m. Eastern:All the pregame hype — the Duke-basketball’s-coming levels of enthusiasm, the return of notable alumni and celebrity hangers-on, the “Chapel Bill” iconography everywhere — all dissipated in a fine baby-blue mist once TCU got to work on the Heels.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementAnd just like that, Belichick’s well-honed and familiar crabby routines — no names on the depth chart, a perma-scowl on the sideline, grumpiness at the postgame podium — seem more than a little […]
Škoda, že mi servis odjel na dovolenou, postěžovala si Krejčíková po vyřazení z US Open
„Byl to těžký zápas. Hrála jsem s hráčkou, která je top, daří se jí tu a cítí se zde v pohodě. Škoda, že se mi to dnes nescházelo. Škoda, že mi dnes odjel servis na dovolenou,“ uvedla Krejčíková.„V prvním setu jsem bohužel měla úspěšnost prvního servisu 40 procent. S tím se prostě nedá proti hráčce z top ten hrát. To mě hodně mrzí, ale co se dá dělat,“ podotkla dvojnásobná grandslamová vítězka ve dvouhře.Krejčíková ztratila duel za necelou hodinu a půl. O podání přišla pětkrát, soupeřce vzdala servis jen dvakrát. Loňská finalistka Pegulaová pokračuje v turnaji bez ztráty setu.„Je nepříjemná v tom, že jí to tady sedí. Sedí jí, že ten míček tady létá hodně nízko a je to tady hodně rychlé. Snažila jsem se to mixovat, jak to šlo, měnit tempo, ale moc mi to nešlo. Bez toho prvního servisu to dnes nebylo hratelné,“ řekla Krejčíková.I přes úterní neúspěch hodnotila […]
