Lionel Messi's career will be remembered most for his time at FC Barcelona after winning multiple trophies with the Catalan club and becoming one of the biggest legends in Barcelona's history. He played with some amazing players and in some amazing teams under some incredible managers. One of his managers was Pep Guardiola, who arguably coached the best FC Barcelona team of all time and one of the greatest teams of all time. Messi flourished under Pep Guardiola from 2008 to 2012 as they played some great football, but the Argentine icon revealed that the system of play is a bit of concern for young players nowadays. In a short preview of a new interview Messi is about to be in, the Argentine talked about Guardiola's style of play making a huge impact in football now. Messi said, "The Guardiola era seems confusing because every team wanted to play that same style. Kids who are 6 or 7 are being told to play one or two touches quickly. At that age, I think they should learn similar to how I learned. We shouldn't remove their own creativity."
