Guardiola: The problem people have with me is that I've won so many titles

Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola did not back down at recent criticism ahead of Tuesday's return leg of the Champions League semi-final against Atletico Madrid at the Allianz Arena.

After a 1-0 defeat thanks to a Saul goal in the first leg, Bayern look to overcome the Rojiblancos at home.

The Catalan's team selection was questioned after the defeat, having left Thomas Muller on the bench.

"The problem people have with me is that I've won so many titles. An hour before the game you'll see who will start," Guardiola said.

"We have to interpret each game scenario and play according to our philosophy. In Madrid, we didn't lose because Muller didn't start and his presence isn't the only thing that will determine Tuesday's outcome."

In terms of contrasting styles of play, the Manchester City bound coach insisted that the most important thing is to be able to adapt one's philosophy, which he has done since arriving at the Bavarian club.

"You have to adapt to the squad you have. If I wanted to play the exact same way I did in Spain, I would have stayed there," he added.

"It is a great honour to be in the semi-final, but we have to improve our performance if we are to reach the final in Milan."
