Guardiola: "I need enemies, people who hate me"

The Manchester City manager was asked about numerous topics. One of the most interesting things he said came when he was asked about what he needs in football. 

"I need enemies, people who hate me because football consists of redeeming yourself and trying to better yourself. The same thing happens to footballers," he argued. 

He also played down the importance of winning the Champions League, but admitted he would do everything he could to win it: "It's seven very difficult games where small details make the difference. Nobody thought Aguero would miss the penalty... Two or three bad days can knock you out."

"In the league you win a game and you're already thinking about the next one. The league goes on for ever. If you're off the pace in February, it is horrible. The way to enjoy is by being consistent in the league. Of course I was jealous of Liverpool and Tottenham. I would have loved to have been there, but they deserved it," he added. 

When asked about his future, Guardiola stressed how happy he is at City. "I have everything, I could not be in a better place."

"Begiristain (the director of football) is the most important person in my career because he had faith in me when I didn't have any experience. The club doesn't judge me on if I win or lose. The fans even tell me that would be right behind me even if we were doing badly," Guardiola concluded.
