Pep Guardiola acknowledges that his commitment to Manchester City is influenced by his rivalry with Jurgen Klopp, the manager of Liverpool.Guardiola underlined his devotion to City on the eve of Sunday's title duel with Liverpool, saying he would gladly sign a new 10-year contract if he could.
"I'm under contract here, and I'm really satisfied," Guardiola remarked. "I'm prepared to stay here indefinitely." There isn't a better place to be, and I'd like to extend my contract for another ten years. When you applaud your team, it appears that you are also praising yourself, but that is not my aim. They're the best, but if it weren't for Liverpool, we wouldn't be nearly as good. We received 98 points after 100, and they were just behind us. You have to take another step when someone is pushing you.Jurgen has been my greatest manager competitor throughout my career, and I believe that what both clubs propose is good for football.For a year in Munich, I was pitted against Jurgen, and we were constantly together. Except for the year we scored 100 points and they scored 99, the rest were close. The remark isn't meant to be a dig at Jose - he's an exciting manager, and I was his competitor - but I've been here five years and have faced Liverpool numerous times."m.
