The 17th Duel, Guardiola and Mourinho

The most attractive game in the 4^th round of 16-17 EPL is to be played at Old Trafford, which is Manchester Derby between Manchester United and Manchester City.

Guardiola and Mourinho joining Man City and Man Utd this summer as well as Ibrahimovic and Stones transferring to the two clubs adds huge interest to the game which is also the 17^th duel between Guardiola and Mourinho.

Before the game, Man City’s head coach Guardiola accepts an interview and tells there are no conflicts between himself and Mourinho, and he will drink together with Mourinho if he is invited.

“If Mourinho invites me to have a drink after the match, I will accept. I have told so many times that I respect him a lot. I have always learned from my coworkers and I have learned much from him. To be honest, you media often provoke our relationship.” Guardiola says “Mourinho used to be my teacher, for he was assistant coach to Sir Robson in Barcelona.” By the way, when Mourinho coached Chelsea, he used to have a drink with Sir Ferguson after the games against Man Utd.
