Pep Guardiola sarcastically addressed his title as an 'overthinker' ahead of Manchester City’s Champions League clash with Atletico Madrid this week. The City boss has been criticised in the past for a number of his decisions in relation to team selection and tactics ahead of crucial clashes in the competition.
But Guardiola was sardonic in responding to his critics. “In the Champions League, I always overthink. I always create new tactics and ideas, and tomorrow you will see a new one. I overthink a lot; that’s why I have very good results in the Champions League. I love it.
"It would be boring if I always played the same way. If people think I will play the same against Atletico and Liverpool, well, I don’t think like that because the movements from Liverpool are completely different than Atlético – especially because the players are all different.
