Guardiola: `I would prefer to defend our title to win the Championship!`

The Manchester City manager Josep Guardiola, who was selected last night as coach of the year in the Premier League, insists that it is more important for him to defend their title in the league according footballtipster than to win the Champions League. uring this campaign, `citizens` dropped out of the 1/4-finals, but Pep did not think it would be a catastrophe if the club did not win the trophy in the next five years.
`Without pretending it would be a great mistake to think that we`ve won the Premier League, so we can fight for the Champions League instead. Big mistake, I`d sign up immediately to drop out of the Champions League and win the Premier League as it is the most important thing. I do not desperately aspire to the Champions League, Barcelona won its first trophy in 1992. Sir Alex Ferguson also needed time to win it for the first time, of course it will be a goa land we will fight to achieve it, but it would be a big mistake for Manchester City to focus on this. In this tournament you play at Anfield, against Barcelona, Real Madrid, Roma, Bayern, United - big clubs. We will try to win the Champions League, but I do not think that if we do not win it in the next five years it will be a disaster!`, Guardiola said.
