Dalian Aerbin midfielder Seydou Keita admits he feels former Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola was never straight with him. Keita insists he didn't quit Barca over finances.

He told Malian Match: "I've heard many times that I was loved by Guardiola. As he spoke well of me to people in the media, I thought everything was fine. But then I did not play.

"My only regret today is related to those words that he has had for me. Talk man to man, because I thought he was praising me, but then would not put me on the team.
