He said The coach: “I think a lot, and sometimes I think a lot...”


He added: “If I had to retire now, I would be more than satisfied. I am very happy that I am still I do my job. I never thought in my life that I would live what I have lived, in these thirteen or fourteen years and still living I am more than grateful, I could not ask for anything else...”

He continued: “I want to say something honest, with the start of this press conference it looks like we will have a friendly match tomorrow. I am a bit worried about that in terms of the questions about Gaudi... It is a competition! "


On Phil Foden: “Maybe I have some doubts about a lot of things, but he will be back and as much as he feels fine, I think he will be back after what I saw in 30 minutes! From playing at St. James' Park against Newcastle, I already felt something I liked that I did not see for example against Watford, we cannot forget after two months or maybe more without training, with the problems he had a little bit with some pain and some problems with his health. Now he is starting to regain his rhythm.”


He stressed: “We cannot forget what we have done so far without Foden, the best player in the English Premier League last season, so we need him.” Yes or yes!  He is a very important player for us. I have no doubt that the way he loves to play football, the way he trains, and his passion, he will come back and help us just as he has helped us since he joined the Manchester City first team...”


Regarding Slovan, he said: “They are playing bravely. I watched the game against Glasgow Celtic, the result was not good but in terms of moments, they are not afraid to play, to prove things. I don’t know if they will play tomorrow with four players at the back...”


He added: “I have learned in my career that nothing is guaranteed. Even the media will say how beautiful we are, I always have an unbelievable, unbelievable opinion of my opponents and teammates. I've never won a game thinking I'm at Barcelona, ​​Bayern Munich or Manchester City and it's going to happen. “I always try to give credit, especially to our opponents...”


He concluded about his plans for tomorrow’s match: “Unfortunately, we in England do not have the right to watch the Slovak League.” I'm sorry, we will try to analyze what they do, the patterns they follow, and try to impose our style of play...”
