The Manchester City manager has just delivered a passionate rendition of the message he shares with his players – “do not miss these moments, do not miss opportunities, enjoy it because you deserve it for your hard work” – but it is not his sermon of pleasure as opposed to the need to be almost perfect? The English champions, one point ahead of their opponents on Sunday – Liverpool – their opponents in the FA Cup semi-finals and an obstacle to their ambitions in the Champions League – are under enormous pressure amid the possibility of a treble. There is no room for error, no tolerance for mistakes and no relaxation of expectations.

The tense match at the Etihad has an all or nothing filter. Can there really be enjoyment in these conditions? “People say it, and it’s true – in life, there are more important things,” Guardiola told Sky Sports News. “I will be sad if we lose a game without being ourselves. But if we are who we are and the opponent can win – it’s okay. We are lucky to be alive right now. Maybe I should feel the pressure now, but I do not I do it. “ Guardiola can not deny that this decisive match with Liverpool, which he is chasing four times – the most absorbing match in the category and arguably everywhere – is painted with a unique advantage. “At the beginning of the season and two or three months ago, I said, ‘What date is Liverpool?’ “When are we going to play against her?” He says. “Of course everything is different because we know there are seven games left and we are only one point ahead. “Winning will not be enough, but it will be an important step. And we know…” wow, this is the game “. You know, we know it. a little different, you know, especially because they do something no other team in the world does – the move they have. Picture: The remaining games of Manchester City and Liverpool “The threats they face – they had incredible three players (Mohamed Salah, Santio Mane and Roberto Firmino) and now an incredible top five with Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota. Plus Divok Origi who always scores when he needs to score decisive goals. “We do not have a suitable striker, but he is what he is. We still score a lot of goals on our way, we still concede a few, so we will continue to do so. “We have to work on what we have to do, talk about it and prepare for it.

Before sitting down for this exclusive interview, he told reporters that “not a second has passed” thinking about the accusations because “I can not control what is coming from outside.” Use the Chrome browser for a more accessible video player Get ready for a #SundaySpecial at Sky Sports with the Australian Grand Prix, Manchester City vs. Liverpool and the end of The Masters all live! Understanding that he can not have everything was part of Guardiola’s evolution. “When I was in my early years in Barcelona, I was more worried about everything, more sensitive about everything,” he admits. “I am now handling the situation a little more calmly. “I learned a lot in City. I am a completely different coach and I feel like I am a better coach than when I started because of the experiences. “In Germany and Spain and now here, they are completely different challenges. I would say it’s nice, otherwise it would be so boring to do the same thing. “You can not have the same ideas 12 or 13 years ago, you become lazy and you are not afraid. You do not have the intuition or the desire to think ‘oh, maybe we do it’ even though it might be wrong. “You always have to make some progress during the process. You make progress to try to be successful, yes – but especially so that you do not get bored of doing the same thing in the end. “Life is about experiences and learning to improve different things.” Use the Chrome browser for a more accessible video player Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp praises Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola and says there is no better coach in world football. City and Liverpool are masters at changing their plans, while redesigning everything needed to win the top division. From the summer of 2018, their respective points were 338 and 337, despite the fact that Guardiola had to say goodbye to a strong old guard and Jurgen Klopp to transform his team from a blitz machine to steel monsters. The boss of City confirms the ability of both clubs to change shape, but to remain successful in the “good organization of both institutions behind the scenes”. When another force at Manchester United is so excited about the concept of the messiah as coach, it’s worth highlighting the top two in this league and people are rushing to believe in the structures that exist. There has been debate as to whether the absolute excellence of City and Liverpool – how the pair have raised the bar for success while consistently serving high quality football at home and on the continent – has characterized them as the league’s biggest rivalry. They stand alone, pushing each other to relentless levels. The argument against giving the couple this status is that the game lacks pure enmity between the top players, as was seen in the days when Sir Alex Ferguson’s United played Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal. Picture: Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City has the most points since the 2018/19 season “In my time here, what I will remember is the rivalry with Liverpool. That is for sure,” said Guardiola. “We raised the standards. We got 100 points, before this example it was around 80 to 91. After we got 100 it was 98, Liverpool with 97 and then 99. So now the teams know you have to go 90-100 points to you have the opportunity to become a champion. “We are writing this level and pushing each other. Sir Alex and Wenger have been together for so many years – 26 and 22 – we are here with less time to do this.” Guardiola enjoys the fact that City’s fights with Liverpool focus on tactical supremacy rather than food battles or media feuds. The competition between the colors of the clubs, the meeting room and the rooftops does not extend to the coaching staff and the competition staff. “Since we were together in Germany, I have said that for the way his teams play and the way he behaves, I think Jurgen makes the football world a better place to live,” said Guardiola. “So I like watching Liverpool. It’s a big, big challenge with her and I like to face the toughest opponent and try to beat them. “I personally do not speak for Jürgen, but I prefer silence.” It may be a muted rivalry with verbal volleys, but Sunday’s critical clash at the Etihad will be anything but quiet.
