Pep Guardiola did not triumph in the UEFA Champions League after leaving the "Barcelona" club. This season, the Catalans will try to do it with "Manchester City", which is considered the favorite in all tournaments.
City will host London's "Tottenham" in the quarter-finals tonight. Guardiola once caused discomfort to Mauricio Pochettino when he stated that "Tottenham" is Harry Kane's team.
This time the coach changed his mind, though he added that H. Kane is a key figure within "Spurs".
"I can't say that, otherwise Mauricio will get angry, and I don't want that," - answered Guardiola when asked if it can be said that "Tottenham" is dependent on H. Kane.
"I think my colleague (Pochettino) did not understand me then. I expressed my opinion about "Tottenham" when Kane scored eight goals in three or four matches.
If someone finds it fitting, I can say that it is Daniel Levy's or Mauricio Pochettino's team. Understand that I perfectly understand that Kane is not the whole club.
They have huge potential. Look at how they move on the field, their physical readiness, how they create attacks, how they use set pieces, how they change the game, how they look in the middle and on the wings - it's just an incredible team. I have said this about them maybe a thousand times since I arrived in England.
No one can deny what Kane is - the ninth number in the England team and an incredible attacker. Everyone knows that. He has everything as a forward," Guardiola added.
