Leipzig manager told he was inspired by Pep Guardiola

RB Leipzig coach Julian Nagelsmann has revealed Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has been a role model for him. Leipzig are going to face Lyon in their second Champions League game of the season on Wednesday. Ahead of the home match, Nagelsmann told Guardiola has played a great role in his coaching career. The German told France Football: "My model is Pep Guardiola from Barcelona. I have always watched his work, and in particular how his team is projecting itself forward in a fraction of a second after the recovery of the ball. He made his mark at that time [with Barcelona], worthy of Johan Cruyff, and few teams managed to master the possession game by playing so high.” Guardiola won two Champions League trophies with Barcelona and looking to win the trophy with Manchester City.  The Citizens will play their second Champions League game on Tuesday, against Dinamo Zagreb at Etihad.
