00:00players need to be informed to get into the England squad and they need to be
00:05playing for the club teams with that in mind in the World Cup and the summer
00:09after this one could you understand it if Jack maybe comes to you and says look
00:14you know maybe I need a fresh start maybe I need to go somewhere else he's
00:18played a lot of games in the FA Cup but not not a lot of games in the Premier
00:21League it's like I said to him so I'm not going to take individually what
00:25happened in the future the future is a born more than after Leicester
00:28individually I'm sorry I'm not involved when the decision that we are already
00:34winning the Premier League we don't have any more titles to fight I understand
00:37completely they can do it privately with a club it's fine but I'm not involved I
00:41don't want to be involved because we are here to do our job and try to man city
00:46win games this is what we have to do so as far as the FA Cups concern though is
00:52this is this a tournament that can maybe rescue your season obviously the
00:56Champions League qualification is important but it's always good to lift
01:01trophies I said many times will recently of course we could be nice you know
01:06right the final champion the FA Cup and and we need you know and and and qualify
01:14for the Champions League but I'm pretty sure still right now happen before that
01:18is a big success but the season has been poor it's not going to change so our
01:25standards and many things were not good so this is a reality so it's not going
01:30to change for the fact you know doing one title we'll be happy of course we
01:34want to do it we have one more but how we behave all of us this season it's not
01:41going to change to qualify for the Champions League again I said is a big
01:44huge success or in the FA Cup is a huge success the season has not been good
01:49hi obviously the players have had international break but you've got two
01:53months together till the end of the Premier League season now you've
01:57mentioned that there's potential of outgoings in the summer because you need
01:59different types of players that can cope with playing twice a week I know you're
02:04a basketball fan but does it feel a bit like the last dance for this generation
02:08with this era of the city squad we'll see we'll see listen we have many changes
02:14for the players you know when I talk about Fernandinho or Alex Sinchenko or
02:18Gabriel or David or before it's been here there are many players and have been
02:25it's not just it's four five six or seven or eight nine players I don't know
02:29how much have been for a long time here they are no they are important but
02:35there were a lot of players before that they are not here right now so so
02:43important here is not this this area the area to win in this season I don't know
02:47is going to happen and the important is the club that the last 50 20 years has
02:53been there all the time so and the club is commit to continue being up there as
02:59long as possible that is why I'm concerned and I want to work with the
03:03club with the players to to get back but for any players that potentially do
03:08leave this summer you'd want them to leave with a Champions League place and
03:11an FA Cup medal yeah of course and for the young players as well for our fans
03:16of course I'm not saying I'm not saying that they don't want it they didn't want
03:20it what I'm saying that we are not able so but of course we have incredible
03:24things ahead of us so the season is still there is two months the last part
03:28of the season that will finish with a with a Premier League FA Cup and after
03:35that we start a new season in the World Cup so finish these two competitions
03:40here the season will be over here and we refresh few weeks and after we go to the
03:45World Cup to start the next season so and this is a target I have
03:52your record in the domestic Cups competitions obviously you've taken
03:56every every trophy seriously and treated it with respect and we 97 million pounds
04:02up for grabs for the Club World Cup clearly you'll do the same with that but
04:06is there a danger now of just overkill with too much football because there's
04:12only I know the players have exceeded expectations and maybe achievements in
04:17some respects with what they've done over the last few years but there's only
04:20so many times you can keep going at that level you know you've got the season
04:25you've got internationals the Club World Cup the season the World Cup the
04:29quality has got to suffer at some stage surely yeah when we spoke about that
04:34that subject many times I see many managers and you know we happen is what
04:41is I think the subject we spoke in this beautiful audience many many times it's
04:47the same I don't have to add anything else and and you say with you know that
04:52the prize money for the Club World Cup you say joking or otherwise all the
04:56management and coaches don't deserve any bonus for it how would you describe we've
05:01not people about their say about the players how would you describe you your
05:05performance and the coach's performance this season yeah really poor we can say
05:13with players it's injuries and fatigue and whatnot what about management forget
05:17about it the factors we won in the past never the
05:20opponents gave us a red carpet to win the titles as we won my duty was overcome
05:25the situation much better they have done do you know why you've not been able to
05:30and remain as enthusiastic and energetic as ever to put it right or even more so
05:40maybe hi this might be a quick answer I just wondered if you'd been in touch or
05:53the club in touch of Kyle Walker since he's gone no for him once in a was
06:00injured or breaking Milan he came he came here we saw him yeah it's always
06:07it's curious to me not being on there you know when someone goes and loan him
06:11he's a club legend obviously do you still see him as as you're not your son
06:16but you know you're you're you're your player even though he's playing
06:18somewhere else let's play for Milan
