Pep Guardiola says Man City are TEN YEARS behind Man United

The Spaniard sparked feverish speculation about his future after saying in an interview with American television station NBC that he could not see himself still being in management when he reaches his sixties. This time they are all playing well and the English league is showing why it is different to Germany or Spain. I never said that.

When asked about Guardiola’s conduct, Bilic said: “I saw his interview but maybe he was just exhausted after a couple of games in three days”. My teams always in my career try to play football.

“I want to clarify that because I admire Guardiola a lot because he is one of the best managers”.

“All I said 60 or 65 I’m not going to train”.

“He is still our player until he goes somewhere but mainly because of the situation with his contract he is finished here”, said Bilic. I think all the managers are like that.

Though Guardiola wanted the Chilean at the Etihad for his ability with the ball at his feet, Bravo is just not helping Manchester City in the other departments of a shot stopper.

Guardiola appeared the reach breaking point following Manchester City’s narrow 2-1 win over Burnley last weekend, in which Fernandinho was shown his third, and the team’s seventh, red card of their season. The La Liga side have only won one domestic trophy in their history.

This is the last thing Man City fans want to hear from their leader.

“When I say to compare to the titles and the history of Manchester United, or Liverpool, or Barcelona or Real Madrid – these kinds of clubs – we are behind”.

The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich coach continued: ‘We have to convince people at this unbelievable club that they are good. That is my job here. You create the football, years ago, no? In terms of targets of getting better, of growing, of achieving the most, they are the best in the world, by far.

Sergio Aguero should be in their team tonight but because of suspensions he has missed seven matches and City, even with their squad, have missed his goals. “The gap came when the European Cup became the Champions League – before that it was just the league and the cup in every country”.

After the frenzy of the Christmas and New Year’s fixtures Bilic said he would field a strong team, making a few changes to Monday’s starting XI against Manchester United. I won titles at incredible clubs with long histories. We have to fight.

Barcelona’s defensive ace has openly talked about his desire of becoming president one day.
