Next week, Manchester City will participate in the first Club World Cup in the United States. On the eve of the game, coach Guardiola accepted interviews from multiple media outlets, lamenting that La Liga is more "ruthless" than the Premier League, talking about his new goals, and also has different views on the two Barcelona geniuses.

When Frank announced his joining Tottenham, many Premier League coaches have been replaced in the past year. The Premier League officially released statistics. Liverpool's Slot and Chelsea's Maresca and other coaches joined last summer. Manchester United's Amorin took over Tenghager in the middle, and his old acquaintance Moyes also returned from West Ham to his famous parent team Everton and was just awarded the OBE official medal.

Although Moyes ranks second to last in this statistics, he coached a total of 716 Premier League games, second only to Ferguson and Wenger, and he deserved the medal. Guardiola, Arteta, Silva, Eddiehao and Emery are currently the longest-serving coaches.

In the past 9 years, Guardiola has won numerous honors for Manchester City, the first Champions League championship in team history, the longest four consecutive championships in England's top league history, and another triple-winning champion after Manchester United. After experiencing the "failure" of Bayern Munich, Guardiola has received new recognition at Manchester City.

However, last season, Manchester City's performance suddenly declined sharply. In the middle of the season, there were only 1 win in 13 games, 4 consecutive league losses and 1 win in 9 games, which made Guardiola highly criticized and under tremendous pressure. During this period, he received strong support from Manchester City and the contract was renewed. Guardiola would stay in the team for at least two more years.

Manchester City did not recover until the end of the season, with 7 wins and 3 draws in 10 league games, and finally qualified for the Champions League in the last round. Unfortunately, he lost to Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final and missed the semi-finals of 16 in the Champions League, and Manchester City ushered in a season where all four of them were missing.

Faced with such a situation, Guardiola admitted in an interview with the Spanish media that he had experienced the worst year of his coaching career. If it happened in Spain, he might be fired in October or November last year and had to leave the team. Fortunately, the "fault tolerance" of the Premier League is different from that of La Liga. In England, these are not problems. Look at Ancelotti, who won the La Liga and the Champions League before, but now he can only go to Brazil.

Perhaps, these words are implicit in the "ruthlessness" of La Liga. Even a meritorious old coach like Ancelotti can only leave sadly. However, in another interview with the British media, Guardiola talked about a new goal, and An Shuai’s present may be Guardiola’s future.

Guardiola said that he has always had an idea and hopes to have the opportunity to make new attempts, such as coaching the national team and leading the team to the World Cup, European Cup or Copa America. Of course, this depends on many factors. If it can be achieved, it is very good. If it fails, it is not bad.

At the same time, Guardiola also gave his own opinions on the two talented players in Barcelona, ​​and found Yamal very surprised. Generally speaking, 25 years old is the mature stage of a player, but Yamal has strong talent. Every time he touches the ball, he goes all out like Curry shoots a three-pointer.

However, I'm sorry, Yamal and Messi cannot be compared. Messi is unique. There is only one Messi in the world, and Yamal is not Messi. Barcelona is very lucky and has obtained another talented player. Yamal has outstanding reading ability in the game.

Guardiola also laughed and said that in the future, Manchester City only needs to give themselves good players, which is enough, and the rest is not important. Because excellent players can have strong adaptability, as coaches, they can also formulate and adjust various tactics according to the characteristics of the players.

Ancelotti left Real Madrid "free and easy" and helped the team get tickets to the World Cup in advance within the week of coaching Brazil's debut. Next summer, people can see the famous coaches in the world's top stadiums.

However, Guardiola doesn't have to regret it. Soon, Manchester City will participate in the Club World Cup, which is a newly established competition model based on the World Cup. Once every four years, there are as many as 32 participating teams, and the high bonus is actually another way to the World Cup.

Interestingly, Manchester City is in Group G, and there is also a strong Juventus in the same group. After qualifying in the group, whether it is first or second in the group, they will face opponents from Group H. In other words, Manchester City may meet Real Madrid in Group H again in the quarterfinals. It was eliminated by its opponent a few months ago and missed the Champions League quarterfinals for the first time in 12 years. If the two giants meet, there will definitely be fire.

A few days ago, Guardiola received an honorary degree from the University of Manchester, recognizing his outstanding contributions to the city over the past nine years. On the court, Manchester City has achieved outstanding results and established a dominant position. Off the court, it has brought far-reaching impacts on the local culture and the development of the city.

How will Guardiola's Manchester City develop in the future after its peak?
