I respect Mohamed Salah so much: Guardiola

CAIRO– 14 January 2018: Anfield Stadium will host the biggest game of the 23rd round of the Premier League in England between Liverpool and Manchester City.

The Reds won 16 games without losing and have not been defeated at home this season, but their amazing unbeaten run could come to an end if they lose against City.

In the press conference prior to the game on Saturday, Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola highlighted the differences between the English press, which mainly focuses on the signings, and the Spanish press.

"I think that in Spain there is more talk about what happens on the field. And in my opinion it is one of the reasons for its progress in recent years. People debate more about aspects of the game," he said.

The Spanish coach admitted the difficulties that his team will face at Anfield Stadium.

"If you want to win titles you have to win in stadiums like Anfield. We have been able to do it at Stamford Bridge and Old Trafford, but we still have a lot to do to win in this stadium," Guardiola admitted.

The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich coach refused to compare Argentinean star Lionel Messi with Liverpool’s Egyptian winger, Mohamed Salah.

”I respect Mohamed Salah so much, that is why I refuse to compare him to any other player,” he said.
