“Good living” as he likes to qualify, Ludovic Giuly revealed an original anecdote about his former FC Barcelona teammate. Legendary Blaugrana captain Carles Puyol didn’t want kids when he was a player and focused on his career.
“When I arrived, Carles Puyol reminded me of Gaël Givet, in the rage he had, jokes Ludovic Giuly at the microphone of Alexandre Ruiz. I’ve never seen a guy work as hard as him. In his physique, his preparation, what he drank, what he ate.

A rage that has been the strength of Carles Puyol during his career. The former Spanish defender wanted to focus on his game so much that he did not want to become a father in the Barça jersey. “Once he said to me: you don’t know how lucky I am and the work I’ve done, I don’t want to ruin it all, I’m in the club of my life, relates Ludovic Guily. He was a workaholic who also thought about not having children during his career. He told me: I am fully focused on my career. The children will wake me up, scream, I will sleep badly. Me, I was shocked. But it was his choice. He was the first man who said to me: first my career and then we’ll see.”
