Coach Napoli Maurizio Sarri considers Manchester City the best team in Europe, and Josep Guardiola - the best coach of the Old World.

On the eve of the fourth round match of the Champions League group stage against Manchester City, Napoli coach Maurizio Sarri answered journalists' questions.

"It's impossible to compare me with Guardiola," Sarri said.. - Josep can be compared with the heroes of ancient myths, and I have not won anything yet. If suddenly I now decide to finish my career, then no one will remember me, and his glory will rumble forever. Yes, I like the way his teams play, the transition from defense to attack, huge speed. But that does not mean that I am copying his style. I have enough of my ideas ".

"In the first 20 minutes of the match in Manchester, we were simply crushed. This time it will not happen again. Manchester City used to go on a break with an advantage in the account and then play for fun. Let's see how the rival will act if he does not achieve this advantage. I will say at once: we will not compete with Manchester City in open football, but will try to play super-reliable on the defensive. If we manage not to lose - it will be good. If we win - then this can be a decisive moment for us in the current Champions League, because in that case the fate of the second place will be decided in our fight against Shakhtar ".

"Can we win? And what do you think, if we play against the best team in Europe led by the best coach of the Old World?" Of course, we can do it right! ".

Match Napoli - Manchester City will be held on Wednesday, November 1. The beginning of the match at 21:45. Live broadcast on the channel Football 1.
