“Many people see it as a sign that you are losing your peace of mind,” was the next question.
“I have never been calm. Do you know why I was calm…? Because we won. People who win are calm, handsome and kind. When you don’t win it’s completely the opposite,” replied the City coach.
“Seeing Mourinho making the gesture that he won three leagues. I don’t know if you remember it… People are comparing it to what you did, and some thought that that gesture was Mourinho’s start at Manchester United,” he recalled. journalist.
“I hope that’s not my case, but in the end we are similar. But he won three Premiers and I won six. But it’s the same, we are together in those situations,” Guardiola said.
