The heights Man City reached here in England under Pep Guardiola, is just phenomenal, it was the best football that I ever seen in the UK ever. It was just fantastic, the passing and the movement without the ball, finding that extra man, beating all comers including Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal and by huge margins, 6-1, 6-3, 5 nil. Man City was just overwhelming and over-powering, pressing hard to get the ball back, hunting the ball down like a pack of wolves, it was just a higher IQ of footballing excellent. He changed the style of football here in the UK forever, he also changed the way people look at football.
