Pep Guardiola
Former Arsenal striker Ian Wright has criticized Bayern manager Pep Guardiola with respect to his handling of Thomas Muller in the recent Champions league semi-final game against Atletico Madrid.
Muller was inexplicably relegated to the bench for the semi-final, a move which shocked most of Pundits and the fans alike, Muller has scored 31 goals in this campaign and the fact that he was put on the bench for the most important game of the side perplexed Wright.
He also criticized the way the signing of Guardiola to City was handled. He stated that Guardiola took the risk of putting Muller on the bench knowing the fact that he would not be there at the club next season. Guardiola was also criticized for not playing German midfielder Gotze at all in the game.
The move backfired for the Spanish manager, whose team lost 1-0 at the Vicente Calderon. However, the former Barcelona manager has a good chance of putting this criticism to rest by winning against Madrid in the second leg at the Allianz Arena, where the Germans have an impeccable record.
