You do it very well.
But don't say, oh, if I was at Man City, I'd play differently.
No, I'm sorry.
That doesn't work.
Because I'm sure whatever team Pep coached along the way, when he was at Barcelona B or whatever...
And maybe he's not a good example because he's always been at sort of top clubs.
But those kind of managers, they've always coached the same way.
And it works the other way too, whereas as soon as you say, and I think Arnie said it a couple of weeks ago, where he says, it's important that my team, I want my teams to play.
But when you say that, that means you don't want to win.
And that's wrong as well.
He wants to play that, but he wants to win as well.
So it's almost like if you want to win, you actually have to play direct, sort of no-risk football or your other end of the extreme.
But no-one wants to own a direct, no-risk football because...
apparently that's not everyone's cup of tea or whatever it is.
But some of the greatest managers in the world, you look at Antonio, Jose, Diego Simeone, they'll own it.
Like I said, I watched Allegri play against Milan, play against Como.
Mate, they had three chances, they scored three goals, they won 3-1 and Cesc had 20 chances and they didn't score.
Mate, he was owning it.
He said after the game, he goes, yeah, they can have the possession, they can have the chances, but we won't.
To be honest, the Premier League nowadays, you have to be anyway.
