Bacary Sagna Fan CLub

Bacary Sagna’s club coach Pep Guardiola is not a big fan of Footballers having personal aspirations of winning this particular award or that particular award.

The Spaniard reckons that the aspirations of a Footballer should always be from the team’s point of view and not from his own point of view because if he achieves something for himself while his team is struggling, that’s of no importance at all.

The Spaniard reckons that the aspirations of a Footballer should always be from the team’s point of view and not from his own point of view because if he achieves something for himself while his team is struggling, that’s of no importance at all.

Talking about the Footballers who always state in their interviews that they have a dream of holding Ballon d’Or in their hands one day, Guardiola says that he is strictly against anyone having that kind of mentality. A personal award should never be the dream because if someone is thinking that way, he is thinking about himself only which shouldn’t be the case.

As per Guardiola, he has been given a lot of awards too as a coach, but, he never eyed those awards and they never got him over the moon either because he knows that he wouldn’t have been able to win those awards if his players had not performed as well as they did. Whatever award he was given, it was not due to him, it was due to the players, due to the team.

And he can say the same about the players as well. If someone has scored a lot of goals and has been named the best striker, then he must have got fantastic passes or crosses by the players playing at other positions and their contribution were vital as well in his goals. It was not as if he did it all by himself. It’s the team helping that striker win the award. So that’s how Football is, it’s always about the group that you are a part of rather than about you yourself.

West Ham United have reportedly identified Manchester City defender Bacary Sagna as a potential signing in the coming transfer window.

Sagna is one of the player’s likely to leave City at the end of the season. The Frenchman came to English football with Arsenal in the 2007 season. He was signed for just € 9 million. After spending seven seasons at the Emirates stadium, he made the switch to City on a free transfer. Since then, he has been able to win the FA Cup and the League Cup. Sagna has featured in 77 games for City over the last three years.

Sagna has featured in 77 games for City over the last three years.

However, the recent managerial change that brought in Pep Guardiola to the club might have brought his City career to a premature end. Even though Sagna has featured in several games this season, there are huge concerns about his age and ability to play at the very highest level for the next couple of years. At 34 years of age, Sagna will be able to provide the experience to the squad but not the agility.

As a result, the club are looking to do away with not only Sagna but also Pablo Zabaleta. West Ham have emerged as a potential destination for the Frenchman, who has 65 appearances for the national team since his debut in 2007.

West Ham will also be quite happy with signing a player of Sagna’s calibre. Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola recently admitted that the club has a major rebuilding job on its hands with a number of players above the age of 30. Jesus Navas, Vincent Kompany, Sagna, Pablo Zabaleta, Yaya Toure, Fernandinho, Gael Clichy, and David Silva are some of the players who are approaching the end of their careers. More importantly, these players have been crucial to the success of City in recent seasons. Hence, wholesale changes are expected in the summer.
