Pep Guardiola Is To Blame for Germany's Recent Decline, Claims Bastian Schweinsteiger

Former Germany midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger says Pep Guardiola shares blame for the national team's decline, telling talkSPORT that Germany lost its values because of the Spanish coach.

'When Pep Guardiola joined Bayern Munich, when he came to the country, everyone believed we have to play this kind of football, like short passes and everything.  

'We were kind of losing our values,' Schweinsteiger told talkSPORT on Thursday.

Schweinsteiger, who works as a TV pundit, played under Guardiola for two seasons at Bayern following the former Barcelona coach's arrival in Munich in 2013. 

Schweinsteiger left the club in 2015, while Guardiola left for Manchester City in 2016.
