Former Captain Manchester City: The success of Guardiola does not depend on the Champions League, we are lucky to have him

According to the official website of Manchester City, former Manchester City captain Andy Morrison praised manager Pep Guardiola in an interview.

After City's 1-1 draw with Southampton, Guardiola reached a Premier League 500 points in just 213 games, which is at least 18 games less than any manager in premier league history, and during this period Guardiola has won almost all domestic honours, including three Premier League titles in the past four seasons.

Morrison said: "Manchester City's success is the result of Guardiola's constantly raising his requirements and when he comes to Manchester City, his honours at Barca and Bayern have given him a very high reputation. I think any manager has a responsibility to raise the level of the club and since Guardiola came to Manchester City, look at those records he broke, that's what he's done. ”

"Even this season, he's still raising his standards and fighting to win all possible accolades. He's always making the team the strongest, and for me it's a desire from his heart, he always wants to be the strongest. ”

'Everything was meticulous from the preparation of the game to the performance on the pitch and he wants to win every game.'

The fly in the ointment is that Guardiola has still failed to bring Manchester City a Champions League title, but Morrison believes that this does not prevent Guardiola from being a club legend.

'People say Guardiola came to Manchester City to win the Champions League, but no coach can easily do it.

'Winning the Champions League is just a natural consequence of a lot of things, the club has to be in the right place at the right time and have the right players, but when you're in a cup game, there's a lot of uncertainty.

'Manchester City may not be able to win a Champions League in the next ten years, or it may be several times, no one can say for sure, but you have to remember that teams like Liverpool, Chelsea, Bayern, Juve, Barca, Real Madrid and Paris will also face failures that cannot win the Champions League."

'We've been very close last year and there are a lot of people who say that Guardiola's success depends on the Champions League, but I don't think so, the way the team plays, the positive, aggressive and eager to win in every game is our really valuable asset and it's a blessing to have him.
