  • Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said on Sunday (24th July) that he was hoping for "no injuries" when his side face Manchester United in the International Champions Cup in Beijing

    1. 00:00 SOUNDBITE: (English) Pep Guardiola, Manchester City manager:

    "Good morning to everybody. No injuries. We didn't see the pitch but the information that we have, there is a lot of water in the last days, a lot of rains. So it's not in a good condition but OK we're going to adapt and adjust. It's our second game of preparation and then start to moving forward. What we have been talked about from the beginning, that is the target. But the most important thing is that the people are avoid to be injured."

    3. 00:44 SOUNDBITE: (English) Pep Guardiola, Manchester City manager (on if he is going to shake Jose Mourinho's hand before the match):

    "We are polite guys, why not? Why should we I shake my hands with him? No reason why. He will want to win, I want to win, that's all."

    4. 00:58 SOUNDBITE: (English) Pep Guardiola, Manchester City manager (on Jose Mourinho's Manchester United):

    "I saw (United's) last game against Borussia Dortmund and that's all. They also beat Wigan. It's too early to know how they will be Manchester United. I'm pretty sure they will be stronger than in previous years. Of course, with this manager and with the good players they already have had and I'm sure they are going to buy new players. They will be a strong team."

    7. 01:31 SOUNDBITE: (English) Pep Guardiola, Manchester City manager (on Vincent Kompany's fitness):

    "The most important is not 'Now I want to come back as quickly as possible'. Forget about it. The importance is when the doctor say, the physio say he is already fit. There is no doubt about his physical conditions he will start again to train with us. If it's for Sunderland (City's opening Premier League game), perfect. The preliminary (round) of the Champions League, perfect. If not, September, if not, October. But at the moment is that he's ready. For the moment the doctor said to me 'no'. When Vincent is ready, he is going to start to play with us."

    8. 02:01 SOUNDBITE: (English) Pep Guardiola, Manchester City manager (on Spain's new head coach Julen Lopetegui and whether the match against United is really a 'friendly'):

    "So Julen is a friend of mine. I am so happy for this selection. We wish him and the national team of Spain the best. For the next years if they can keep going or maintain what the last 10 years with Luis Aragones and Vicente del Bosque did it. I am so happy because he knows all the young players, the national team, the quality. So intelligent, so I think he will do very good job. And for the first question, it is a friendly game, it's a really friendly game."
