For a controversial statement released by the Citizens coach
about the match-up in the Champions League between City and Barca.
Chilean coach of Manchester City Manuel Pellegrini coach Made
heated rhetoric in the team press on the back of his match today against
Barcelona in the last 16 of the Champions League football, and made the
statement contrary to his quiet nature where he opened fire on a neighbor in
the city of Manchester United and downplayed payoff players this season
compared to what provided by Manchester City's side.
Pellegrini spoke at the beginning of his speech about his
intention not to change his offensive style, which follows it with his team
since the start of the season, even if the opponent's size and strength of Barcelona...
He said: "When you play against an important team like Barcelona should be
looking for details of the job, but I think the most important thing is that we
continue to play the same way we do every week in the Premier League."
He added: "Of course you cannot handle, and focus on
the presence of Messi and just ignore the rest of the key players in Barcelona,
but this does not mean we will think of a way to play defense."
On the presence of Manchester United as a competitor in the
same competition... He said: "If we look only for this season, there is
only one club in the city of Manchester City, which, of course, but you cannot
overlook the previous years and the payoff Manchester United," warning
that the City of Barcelona is much better than United.
The superiority of Barcelona over Manchester United twice in
the final two copies of the Champions League in 2009 and 2011.
Chilean coach added: "We strive to be the largest and
achieve more tournaments not only at the local level, but continental and
international tournaments, and we strive to win in four tournaments together
this season."
It must arouse Pellegrini statements Manchester United fans resentment
strongly, as he may be the first time speaks Eng. Pellegrini this sharp tone
and condescending since coming to the Premier League at the beginning of this
season.
