Villarreal defender Edmilson says the jury is still out over Pep Guardiola's success at Barcelona this season.

"The big difference will come when the bad times begin," said Edmilson. "When you win, the commitment is good and everything works. In contrast, when you lose, the opposite happens.

"The work depends on the commitment from each player. (Frank) Rijkaard always tried to motivate us, as an entire team, another thing is the professionalism that each individual has.

"Rijkaard was perhaps too nice and we, too bad."
