MESSI DEFIED GUARDIOLA INFRONT OF TEAM MATES: Former New York Red Bulls boss Hans Backe, has revealed how Lionel Messi delibrately defied Pep Guardiola’s orders, in front of his Barcelona team- mates. He told Sweden’s TV4: “It was three hours before the game when all the players were sitting and eating, and Messi said he wanted a can of coke,” he said. “Guardiola replied that no player should drink cola three hours before a game. “So Messi got up and left, returned a few minutes later with a can of cola and drank it right in front of Guardiola and the rest of the team. “Imagine what would have happened when a player with the profile of Messi goes against the coach in this way? “It was a war Guardiola could not win; it was impossible.”
