One of the leaders of Manchester City Fernandinho responded to the praise of Josep Guardiola and explained the secret of the success of the coach of "citizens".

Fernandinho believes that it was Josep Guardiola, who called him one of the top three world opornics and said that during his playing career he could have squeezed out the Brazilian from the lineup, made him exactly that, and Manchester City turned into one of the strongest teams in Europe.

"Guardiola is very kind to me," Fernandinho said in an interview with Sky Sports. - But, I think, he exaggerates. He was a great player in a great team that won a lot of trophies. The words of the coach have become for me an additional motivation, but in any case not an excuse to relax. I still work hard for the benefit of the team ".

"Guardiola is a wonderful leader who can make people believe in his philosophy and follow him with the same enthusiasm as he himself.

It is very important, when in a team everyone strives for a single goal and for the sake of achieving it they are ready to give all the best that they have ".

On Wednesday, December 27, Manchester City will play the match of the twentieth round of the championship of the Premier League and in case of victory will increase its advantage over the nearest pursuer (MJ) to fifteen points.
