Manchester City VS Arsenal. Guardiola VS Emery: The last words of coaches about each other ahead of the game

Premier League is a clash of coaches and the first real clash is between defensive champions Manchester City and Arsenal. Pep Guardiola will defend his title, but Unai Emery needs to prove his class against Pep. “I am 46 and he is 47. His career as a player is bigger than mine and his career as a coach is also bigger than mine. But we started at the same moment, our career as coaches. His coaches, with statistics and data, is better than me also. But I like to play more against him because it’s demanding for your preparation, to try to win against his teams. “When we were in Spain, for me, each match against Barcelona with Almeria and then with Valencia for four years, was very exciting and demanding. It’s for that reason that Sunday is the same for me here. A new experience, but with one work with a lot of ambition for me. I want to show and to give our players also this ambition,” said Unai Emery on Pep Guardiola. The Catalan said on Emery: ”He is an excellent manager. What he achieved – three Europa Leagues in a row – is excellent. He is a good manager and it is good for the Premier League. "Our target is: try to win as much as we can and in April and May, we will see (the outcome). If we are good and consistent like last season, we have a good chance."
