Etihad Training Campus, Manchester, UK
Transcript
00:00You watched your 1,000th game as a manager this weekend, a great achievement.
00:05Could you possibly have imagined this back when you started coaching at Barca B?
00:152,000 press conferences. That was the best moment.
00:202,000 press conferences plus flash interviews.
00:24No, when I started, obviously no.
00:30But this is a joy. I enjoy every single... No, I would say I'm a liar.
00:35I didn't enjoy every single moment, but I enjoy a lot the journey.
00:38I've been nice, I've been top. I've been blessed, I would say.
00:43This is obviously game 1,000, but do you remember game one and how you felt?
00:48Yeah, more insecure than now.
00:53But at the same time, yeah.
00:57Or maybe, to be honest, I don't remember.
01:00It's a long time ago.
01:04This is obviously a great game to reach 1,000, City Liverpool.
01:08Does it look like both clubs are now heading towards their best form again?
01:16Listen, if I would have to choose one rival to this personal, of course Milestone, that I want to share with many, many people, obviously.
01:27That would be the best.
01:29If you tell me, because I've been longer than ever in this country.
01:34Of course, Barcelona, the impact in my life as a ball boy, football player and manager and so on is obviously.
01:41And of course, Bayern was an incredible step as well.
01:44But Liverpool, especially with Jürgen, have been the biggest rival in this country and could not be better, to be honest.
01:53So, the destiny universe at the side for that.
01:57And yeah, nice to leave it and our best.
01:59I know how quick it is that everything goes here, right?
02:04So, one week ago, Liverpool, six defeats.
02:07I don't know, a disaster, a disaster.
02:09We won two.
02:10Now we come back at the best.
02:11I'm pretty sure that all the managers have taken a little bit more perspective on what is the situation.
02:16And in other words, they have ups and downs in the competition.
02:20And I have a high opinion about Liverpool right now, last season.
02:25And we were losing six games in that seven games.
02:28So, it's the same.
