  "summary": "UEFA vice-president Zbigniew Boniek has criticized former Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, stating that Guardiola's possession-based philosophy has killed football. In an interview with Corriere dello Sport, Boniek expressed his disappointment with Guardiola's tactics, saying that the former Poland international has created a style of play where players constantly switch positions, resulting in a high number of passes but ultimately diminishing the enjoyment of the game for him. Guardiola, who is currently out of work after leaving Manchester City, has managed clubs such as Barcelona and Bayern Munich in the past.",
