Guardiola: Counter PSG's play friendly

It's PSG on Manchester City's road to a historic championship final. Pep Guardiola explains his recipe for crossing the round.

We go to Paris with just one goal: to win is the words of the Catalan coach. All the players are well and we are happy. I learned from Cruyff: let's have fun, let's enjoy responsibility and the situation. Big names win these races because they play like a friend. This is what I want from my team”.

Neymar and Mbppé two public hazards. “Neymar? It's not just him: Paris Saint-Germain has extraordinary players that we will try to stop.

We have a game and we will try to force it, as we always do: we want to get a positive result home. I've learned from Johann Cruyff that we should enjoy the fight and take the responsibilities: that's what we're going to do.”

Guardiola won't change his team's behavior even before two French club phenomena. I always believe that before quality players there is no defence strategy to stop them. They're very good. They're great players, so they've come all this way. We'll try to stop them, protect themselves as a team, play a good team football and try to score. Of course, we need to fix some things. It should be done against these players. But we fought to get here, it wouldn't make sense not to be who we are. The more you're yourself, the bigger your chances are. If you think of your opponent, it's harder. In these stages, there are no rivals who have no great capabilities --”.
