“What I think is the most impressive thing about [Guardiola] is the way he always wants to win more and more. When you win 10 times in a row, he wants to win the 11th and then the 12th. And when you win 20, he wants to go for the 21st, so his ambition and his hunger to win things are something impressive.”
