Ghana international Kevin-Prince Boateng says Borussia Dortmund coach Lucien Favre brought tiki-taka to the Bundesliga not Pep Guardiola.

Boateng revealed that the all-possessive Spanish football which Pep Guardiola is seen as a master of was brought to Germany by Swiss Lucien Favre and not Pep Guardiola during his stay at Bayer Munich.

“His (Lucien Favre) love of football and his vision sets him apart,” Boateng told DAZN.

“He was the first coach to bring tiki-taka to Germany. It annoyed him if the ball was knocked long. He always wanted you to play your way out of trouble. That impressed me, though at that moment in time I already had one foot in England.”

Favre had successful stints with Borussia Mönchengladbach and Nice before returning to Germany this season with Dortmund.
