Pep analyses Messi and is amazed: "It's like being in the jungle"

It could be that Guardiola knows Messi better than a lot of people, how he moves, how he thinks, how he plans and executes, his virtues and abilities. And this is all shown in the sixth episode of the series "This is Football".

In the last few hours, a part of the series has gone viral, where Guardiola explains Leo Messi's football. The Argentine appears to be walking, almost without moving, but Pep says that he is more involved than anyone in the game.

"He walks around, that's what I like the most. He is not out of the game, he is participating, he moves his head to the right, left, right, left... He knows perfectly what is going to happen," said the Manchester City coach.

"He is not running, but he is always watching what is happening," Pep analysed, saying that the Barcelona star is studying his opponent's weak points, "After five, ten minutes, he has the map in his eyes and in his brain," he added.

And how does the video finish? With Messi in the ideal place to receive a pass from Ivan Rakitic and assist Luis Suarez, who misses a clear shot on goal "It's like being in the jungle and surviving," Guardiola summarised.
