00:00Hi Pep. In the game here last season where Rodri unfortunately got injured, there was a bit of a fallout,
00:06wasn't there, between yourself and Mikel Arteta?
00:09It started off... It was what? There was a bit of a fallout between you and Mikel Arteta, if you
00:13remember, because...
00:14Fallout?
00:16Dispute?
00:17I don't think so.
00:19Well, because Stones and Silver said that Arsenal's tactics were dark arts, to which Mikel said, I was here, meaning
00:29City, for four years, I know exactly what went on there.
00:32And as I understand it, you weren't particularly happy with him saying that, and you sort of said, next time
00:37you have to be a bit more specific, vague, I think was the word you used.
00:39I just wonder how are relations now? Are your best friends should go for dinner?
00:45No, I don't have time to go to London, and I think he has no time for competitions to come
00:50to Manchester.
00:51I mean, some time has passed since then, but is it water under the bridge as far as you all
00:54can say? There's no ill feeling?
00:56When we're here, we are going to see every day, during five, six hours a day, so the relation is
01:01completely different than after five, six years in London.
01:04Like, I have a lot of... All the managers have a lot of business to do, but if you want
01:09to try to...
01:10Your question, before that game created some conflict with Mikel and myself or Arsenal, I am all enough to do
01:17that.
01:18Last one on it. Do you think there's a certain irony in that Arsenal now basically play in the very
01:24way in which he was saying,
01:25or seemed to be indicating City were playing sort of with dark arts?
01:28They've become that team, haven't they, Arsenal? The way their style?
01:31Did you listen to me? Because you are in how many times here? I used that subject, that concept, that
01:38character, Marcelo?
01:40Did you listen to me to say about dark arts about Arsenal?
01:43They play this way now. I'm saying that's how Arsenal basically play.
01:46Do you say?
01:47I think so, yeah.
01:48Okay.
01:50Go to London. What time is the conference in Mikel in London?
01:53You have time to go one hour? Go there and ask him about that.
01:56Thank you very much.
