Pep Guardiola says he does not intend to turn "Manchester City" into another "Barcelona" and especially not to change English football. Everyone has been talking about it since the moment the Spaniard was introduced as the future strategist of the "citizens". Nevertheless, at a press conference where he also denied rumors of disagreements with Vincent Kompany and Sergio Aguero, the coach said that it took "Barca" ten years to form their style of play. "I don't want us to play like 'Barcelona'," Guardiola said. "Barcelona plays the way they do depending on the players they have, especially one." "I often hear people saying that Pep is coming to change English football. From the beginning, I said to forget about it, because I didn't come here to change anything." "I want to learn and I will try to change only one thing in my players' game. I will try to convince them that they can enjoy, play well and win as many matches as possible, so they can fight for titles. That's my only goal concerning the players we work with every day. That's why I'm trying." "That's why 'Manchester City' called me - to play in a way I believe in, considering the players we have." "Of course, I do not intend to play high passes when my top striker is short. Still, of course, I intend to rely on Aguero, who can score goals at the right moment." "We will play as we played. I am still truly amazed at how quickly we managed to show good play, win matches many times while showing character in such a short time." "However, in order to achieve what they achieved (Barcelona - ed.), it will take us ten years. Cruyff arrived in the 1989-1990 season, so that's 25 or 26 years." "I am ambitious, but I do not intend to change what cannot be changed in a short time. It's impossible."
