Guardiola: If I can’t lead the team to the Champions League, I’ve failed at Manchester City! Since taking charge of Manchester City, Guardiola has led the team to five domestic titles, including two Premier League championships, but the Manchester City coach believes that he has failed unless he can win the Champions League with the Blue Moon. “Of course we will. People should judge us not only based on our style but also based on the championships we win; that’s just the way it is. ”Guardiola said, “Last year was an unparalleled year for us, but people say, ‘But you didn’t win the Champions League.’” That’s why I am judged; if I don’t win the Champions League in the final stages of my time managing Manchester City, then I am considered a failure here, and I know that. ” “But I really enjoy working with my players, and they have won many matches. Winning the match in a clear manner can help you claim the championship; we believe we can play in that style, and eventually we will know the outcome. ” In the 25th round of the Premier League, Manchester City will play away against Tottenham; Guardiola talked about the differences between Mourinho and Pochettino. “They (Mourinho and Pochettino) are very different, but there are also some similarities; their teams are both very aggressive. ”Guardiola added, “I watched the match between Tottenham and Southampton; they lost the goal in the last minute, and I saw how they performed.” ” “Each coach has different philosophies, but they are all incredible coaches. Pochettino was there at Tottenham for five or six years, while Mourinho was there for only a few months; therefore, all coaches need time to get the team to play in the style they desire.
