'We mistakenly followed Guardiola for 20 years!' - Allegri delighted to see rise of counterattacking football

Pep Guardiola's 'tiki-taka' philosophy mastered by Barcelona "was not for everyone", according to Massimiliano Allegri, who has been pleased to see the art of counterattacking revived in recent times.

Between 2008 and 2012, Guardiola moulded one of the greatest teams in history while in charge of the Catalans, with the likes of Lionel Messi, Andres Iniesta and Xavi at the peak of their powers. 

The Blaugrana won 14 major trophies during that period, including three Liga titles and two Champions League crowns, breaking all kinds of records in the process.

Guardiola was hailed a visionary for his preferred style of play at Camp Nou, which he also implemented during three years at Bayern Munich before joining Manchester City in 2016.

Under his stewardship, City have won two Premier League crowns in three years, but their progress has stalled somewhat in the first half of the current campaign.

Your very early days at the San Siro were difficult. How did you survive such challenges?

It was to become a magnificent Milan team, probably unrepeatable, but I was grateful to Silvio Berlusconi because he always placed his trust in me, especially at the beginning when the first losses came. The board always supported me. Always. For example, after a loss at home against Fiorentina early in the 1987-88 season, Marco Van Basten criticised me quite severely. But the board trusted me and said follow your way, it is the right way. In the following match, at Cesena, I left Van Basten on the bench and he asked me to explain my decision. I told him: “Well Marco, s
