FC Barcelona: Zlatan Ibrahimovic Insults Pep Guardiola in Autobiography

Zlatan Ibrahimovic (AC Milan Forward) insulted Pep Guardiola (FC Barcelona coach) in a soon to be released autobiography. The news was published in the US Latin website Univision and has received the attention of people in Miami, Florida.

Ibrahimovic attributed his differences with Guardiola to the change in position of Lionel Messi. The differences became worse with time as Ibrahimovic said (with profanity) that Guardiola lacked fortitude as a coach.

Ibrahimovic went as far as to say (again using profanity) that Guardiola had an unhealthy obsession with Jose Mourinho (Real Madrid manager). Ibrahimovic has made derogatory comments about Guardiola in the past.

In the year 2010, Ibrahimovic said that "Guardiola believes he invented (world) footbal,l" during an interview with Swedish TV. The comment was also published in Univision. Ibrahimovic (during the same year) praised Mourinho and denigrated Guardiola as a "perfectionist."

The comments by Ibrahimovic towards Guardiola could further inflame relations between FC Barcelona and AC Milan. The relations between the supporters of the two clubs have been strained since Silvio Berlusconi (AC Milan owner) declared that AC Milan was "superior" to FC Barcelona.

I have a response to Ibrahimovic and his comments about Pep Guardiola. Pep Guardiola (during his tenure as FC Barcelona manager) led Barca to 500 goals within 200 matches.

Guardiola also won 72 percent of the matches for FC Barcelona during his tenure. The rest is left for Ibrahimovic to think about when he releases his autobiography in mid-November.
