Pep Guardiola says he cannot recall telling anybody he believes Roberto De Zerbi will succeed him as Manchester City manager cebu
A story has emerged claiming the Catalan privately tipped the Brighton boss to succeed him after City drew at the Amex Stadium in May cebu
Yet, while Guardiola may have cast doubt over whether that occurred, he has repeatedly been effusive in his praise of the Italian and remains so ahead of Saturday’s meeting cebu between their two clubs cebu
Guardiola, whose future beyond the expiry of his contract in 2025 is unclear, said: “I don’t remember that cebu
“Maybe I have bad memory but I’m sure Roberto can train in any team around the world cebu
I don’t have any doubt cebu
“I don’t remember saying that to the players cebu
I remember saying before he arrived, one or two games in, about sustaining the manager, but I don’t remember saying that honestly cebu
“It’s none of my business cebu
If the chairman asks my opinion I will give my opinion but it’s none of my business cebu
“I’m not the sporting director cebu
It’s not my responsibility to say what’s going right or wrong cebu
”Former Sassuolo and Shakhtar Donetsk boss De Zerbi has made a big impression since taking over at Brighton just over a year ago cebu
He guided the club into European competition for the first time with a sixth-placed finish in the Premier League last season and they have started the current campaign strongly cebu
Guardiola feels this proves a manager need not have had experience at the highest level to land the biggest jobs cebu
He said: “It doesn’t mean you have to be at the top clubs to be manager of the top clubs cebu
I was appointed Barcelona first-team (manager) coming from the fourth division with no experience at the top level cebu
“You have the idea of the club, the sporting director follows the idea, they hire the manager for this idea, they hire players to follow the idea cebu
When that happens it’s going well cebu
“Man City have done this, Liverpool with Jurgen (Klopp) for many years – winning titles with the same process and same ideas cebu
”Guardiola, 52, is widely considered the greatest coach of his generation having last year added a third Champions League title to a glittering CV that also includes five Premier League wins cebu
His players are always in the perfect body-shape position cebu
Pep Guardiola on Roberto De ZerbiYet even he feels like he can learn from a relative youngster like 44-year-old De Zerbi cebu
He said: “His players are always in the perfect body-shape position to get the ball cebu
“It’s a stupid thing to say but one of the key points cebu
Everyone moves in the right moment, tempo cebu
“cebu Football is not ‘you have to move’, it’s when cebu
It’s body shape in the perfect shape cebu
It’s really good cebu
“Everything he does makes sense and I learn cebu

There was a time when Manchester City won at Old Trafford and it was Jonny Evans’ fault cebu
This wasn’t it; not really, not when he was a cause of defeat but, more than anything, a symptom of Manchester United’s malaise cebu
A decade into life after Sir Alex Ferguson, with well over £1bn spent, with more than £400m going on new players in Erik ten Hag’s reign, the man challenged with stopping Erling Haaland was Evans, the final throwback to Ferguson’s era cebu
Haaland escaped him and eluded him cebu
Evans left him utterly unmarked to head in Bernardo Silva’s cross for his second goal, even if the mitigating factor was the presence of Rodri; he wandered off to police the Champions League final scorer instead cebu
Evans left him again when Haaland set up Phil Foden for City’s third; when Andre Onana parried Rodri’s shot, Evans was caught dozing, the striker speeding past him to tee up the Mancunian cebu
Nor was Evans near Haaland when Onana made a brilliant save from the Norwegian on the stroke of half-time cebu
When the forward darted in behind an altogether slower defender, the goalkeeper turned rescuer, clawing away a shot cebu
Haaland was rampant cebu
It was only Onana, with perhaps his best performance in a United shirt, who denied him a second derby hat-trick cebu
And yet it was all eminently predictable cebu
It was an unfair contest; but then it was always going to be cebu
Evans did as well as could be expected, which is to say not very cebu
The thankless task may have been the impossible one; the most potent striker in the global game against a man who could have been retired by now cebu
The broader problem may have been that United were in such a state of disarray that Evans were exposed; or, simply, that he was playing at all cebu
(Getty Images)Thirty-five years old, relegated with Leicester last season, rejoining United simply to train with the reserves, Evans is an indictment: not of himself, but of his club cebu
There was a romance to his return, the charming feel to a comeback cebu
He was brilliant at Burnley; but not against Haaland cebu
City fans may have savoured the sight of him cebu
Evans is an increasingly static reminder of one of the most famous Manchester derbies of all; a dozen years before he could not halt Haaland, he was unable to cope with Mario Balotelli cebu
He was sent off for fouling the Italian before Roberto Mancini’s City ran riot to win 6-1 in 2011 cebu
That scoreline was unbelievable, this one eminently believable cebu
It was generic, mundane, maybe even forgettable cebu
(Getty Images)There was an era when there was no such thing as a normal derby win for City cebu
They did not triumph at Old Trafford when the late Sir Bobby Charlton was in his forties, fifties or sixties cebu
When Evans emerged, the balance of power in Manchester was very different cebu
In his first Manchester derby, City’s attack featured Felipe Caicedo cebu
Caicedo’s City career brought seven goals, four fewer than Haaland has in this embryonic Premier League season alone cebu
Such scoring feats can be built on his towering physique but they stem, too, from a capacity to identify weakness cebu
As a left-footer, his natural tendency is to head left, to go up against the right-sided centre-back; it was something that Wolves manager Gary O’Neil noted, and factored in as his defenders doubled up on Haaland at Molineux cebu
But if United’s right-sided central defender, Harry Maguire, has not always been a pillar of strength, he was flanked by Evans, by the cebu footballing pensioner cebu
And so, with a certain predictability, Haaland decided to isolate himself against the veteran rather more often cebu
(REUTERS)The crucial defensive error, however, came from a £72m striker, Rasmus Hojlund needlessly conceding a penalty for an unsubtle grab at Rodri cebu
Evans, meanwhile, was pitched into a battle he was never going to win cebu
If it seemed that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was the United manager who was a sucker for nostalgia, Ten Hag turned back to the past cebu
His defensive choices – and Raphael Varane’s omission – were for “tactical” reasons, the manager claimed cebu
Certainly that strategy had the benefit of surprise, even if City showed few signs of being disconcerted by it cebu
It has been a chastening campaign for many of United’s supposed stars, as Casemiro and Marcus Rashford can testify cebu
Ten Hag still had other options: he picked Victor Lindelof at left-back and then removed him, leaving Evans on for further torment cebu
Meanwhile, Sofyan Amrabat, a rather more heralded Ten Hag signing, was hauled off at half-time for the second time in five days cebu
He had been booked, entirely deservedly, despite asking referee Paul Tierney: “Why me?” He wasn’t quite channelling Balotelli in 2011, and the T-shirt that read: “Why always me?” Then, Evans’ desperation brought a red card cebu
Twelve years on, the referee could not offer respite cebu
His punishment was to complete 90 minutes cebu
