Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski admits there's differences between coach Xavi and Manchester City boss Pep Gaurdiola.

Lewandowski played for Guardiola at Bayern Munich.

He said, "Guardiola is a coach who takes care of all aspects of training. There he showed me very often how I should place my body to operate with both my right and left legs. He wanted me to play more with the left so that I could have more vision within the field, since if you only played with the right it limited your vision. Guardiola never told me how to score goals because I did better than him.

"I don't think Xavi will notice these details as much as Guardiola. He has his own vision. Because of the position they both played in, it helps them understand other roles on the field, but Xavi is not as detailed although he is a coach who is taking leaps and bounds and is constantly developing. Then you can feel that if someone was a great footballer and became a coach, at work it is easier to pass it on to the players. When they say something, the message is instantly accepted."
