Pep Guardiola, Manchester City coach, before the Club World Cup semi-final against Urawa Red Diamonds (Tuesday, 7 p.m., on L’Equipe Live): “It’s a pleasure to be here (at the World Cup clubs), an honor. It’s the first time City are here, it shows how difficult it is and we know it’s not a given, but a privilege. The same goes for clubs from South America, Asia or Arab countries.
Of course, Europe is stronger economically than other countries, but I don’t know if it is much stronger technically, in terms of skills and preparation of players and managers. I won’t disrespect other teams or managers regarding their preparation, but yes, Europe is economically stronger and that’s why all players and managers want to go to Europe to train or play. »
