When you see Pep on TV or read his words in the newspaper, it is the portrait of a man who is the ultimate professional. But when you work with him, you don't just come to see him as a coach. You learn about his qualities as a man. It is that side of Pep Guardiola that the people on the outside don't get to see.

At City, we don't just have successful people: we have great human beings who know that family is paramount.

Football is a changeable game. From one day to another, everything could change.

There is definitely a difference when you are fighting for a title against clubs like United or Real Madrid or Barcelona. They are so used to winning, it means that you have to have a different frame of mind when you challenge them because that's the only way to overcome them.

I love compliments; of course I do. Everybody wants to receive compliments. But the team is the important thing, and I'd rather win things as a team than finish up with individual honours.

I've been lucky: I've won a lot of medals, but I'd still like to win more.

I try to enjoy playing football and do my best for the team.

Thanks to the football, every time I go out and play, it releases the tension, and you forget about the problems.

I'm a very quiet person, and I always try to take the pressure off myself before games.

Football is very simple for me.
