Aunque ha dejado claro que no tiene nada contra él como persona, jugador o entrenador, el exfutbolista ha reconocido que Guardiola ha sido una de sus grandes decepciones por su forma de pensar políticamente.
Del actual entrenador del Manchester City ha destacado: “Lo único que le achaco son sus declaraciones, su ideología.”
Pérez se ha justificado recordando su época como jugadores de la selección: “Hemos vivido momentos difíciles de equipo, de amigos, de compañerismo, de tener que defender la camiseta de la selección española, y de repente, ver su forma de actuar contra España, a mí me chocó”.
Además, ha asegurado que él se siente “muy orgulloso de ser español y de defender la camiseta del equipo nacional”.
