Jose Mourinho prior to this Sunday's Manchester derby further intensified the rivalry between the clubs by hinting that the "City" players dive on the field.
Yesterday, the "City" coach Pep Guardiola said that now the relationship between both managers is "tidy" and friendly - unlike when they respectively led "Barcelona" and Madrid's "Real".
However, the Portuguese did not miss the opportunity to stir the fire and throw the opponent's coach off balance.
"They defend well, react well when they lose the ball. Their dynamics in attack are very good," said Mourinho.
"They move very creatively. The players are incredible, and the coach is fantastic."
"They have many good things. If you were to ask me about something I don't like, it would be the fact that they lose balance very quickly. A little wind blows, and they collapse."
Illustrating Mourinho's words, "Man City" this season has missed four penalty kicks from 11 meters - more than any other "Premier League" team.
