Yamal is comparing Messi and Guagua: It s amazing to be compared after playing for 15 years

July 28th Guardiola was interviewed by GQ, which included his views on Yamal.

Q: Speaking of young players who have been under pressure when they are just starting out, we have witnessed the rise of Yamal, who is often compared with Messi. You have coached Messi and paid attention to Yamal. Do you think this is fair?

Guardiola: "I think Yamal should be allowed to go out of his own career. When he played for 15 years, we will judge whether he is better or worse. Let him explore his own career."

"In fact, it is already amazing that he is compared with Messi. For example, if you compare a painter with Van Gogh, then everyone will say that he is good, this signal means that he is excellent. But we have to let him grow first and then look at it."

Q: But looking at him playing football, in terms of his style, do you think...

Guardiola: "It's great, yes, it looks like that."

Q: But?

Guardiola: "Messi is amazing. He has 90 goals in a season, has not stopped for 15 years, and has no injuries. This is amazing. Don't worry about him, don't worry about him."
