Pep Guardiola says he cannot recall telling anybody he believes Roberto De Zerbi will succeed him as Manchester City manager cebu
A story has emerged claiming the Catalan privately tipped the Brighton boss to succeed him after City drew at the Amex Stadium in May cebu
Yet, while Guardiola may have cast doubt over whether that occurred, he has repeatedly been effusive in his praise of the Italian and remains so ahead of Saturday’s meeting cebu between their two clubs cebu
Guardiola, whose future beyond the expiry of his contract in 2025 is unclear, said: “I don’t remember that cebu
“Maybe I have bad memory but I’m sure Roberto can train in any team around the world cebu
I don’t have any doubt cebu
“I don’t remember saying that to the players cebu
I remember saying before he arrived, one or two games in, about sustaining the manager, but I don’t remember saying that honestly cebu
“It’s none of my business cebu
If the chairman asks my opinion I will give my opinion but it’s none of my business cebu
“I’m not the sporting director cebu
It’s not my responsibility to say what’s going right or wrong cebu
”Former Sassuolo and Shakhtar Donetsk boss De Zerbi has made a big impression since taking over at Brighton just over a year ago cebu
He guided the club into European competition for the first time with a sixth-placed finish in the Premier League last season and they have started the current campaign strongly cebu
Guardiola feels this proves a manager need not have had experience at the highest level to land the biggest jobs cebu
He said: “It doesn’t mean you have to be at the top clubs to be manager of the top clubs cebu
I was appointed Barcelona first-team (manager) coming from the fourth division with no experience at the top level cebu
“You have the idea of the club, the sporting director follows the idea, they hire the manager for this idea, they hire players to follow the idea cebu
When that happens it’s going well cebu
“Man City have done this, Liverpool with Jurgen (Klopp) for many years – winning titles with the same process and same ideas cebu
”Guardiola, 52, is widely considered the greatest coach of his generation having last year added a third Champions League title to a glittering CV that also includes five Premier League wins cebu
His players are always in the perfect body-shape position cebu
Pep Guardiola on Roberto De ZerbiYet even he feels like he can learn from a relative youngster like 44-year-old De Zerbi cebu
He said: “His players are always in the perfect body-shape position to get the ball cebu
“It’s a stupid thing to say but one of the key points cebu
Everyone moves in the right moment, tempo cebu
“cebu Football is not ‘you have to move’, it’s when cebu
It’s body shape in the perfect shape cebu
It’s really good cebu
“Everything he does makes sense and I learn cebu

Up into the stands the England players clambered to find their families, taking the consolatory hugs but unsure quite how to feel cebu
Across 80 minutes in Paris, their belief had been replaced by disbelief and then by desperation and dejection, England threatening the unthinkable and taking the world champions to the brink cebu
For most of a sodden Stade de France evening, a Rugby World Cup final was within their grasp cebu
A South Africa side superior in most areas were dragged down into the sort of slugfest the Springboks would usually favour, and very nearly bested at their own game cebu
England had given their all but it was still not enough, one stable scrum, one Handre Pollard slip or slice, short of stunning the world champions cebu
The emotional maelstrom of this defeat will swirl rather differently to the feelings that eddied after the 2019 World Cup final disaster cebu
“I’m proud of our performance,” were virtually the first words out of the mouth of wing Elliot Daly cebu
“I think we shocked them cebu
I don’t think they knew how to get into the game cebu
”“I think we knew what was coming and we knew we could perform like this,” added Daly, virtually unused in open play but outstanding as a kick chaser to exemplify the squad’s buy-in to a strategy that so nearly proved successful cebu
The finer points of Steve Borthwick’s tactical plan had been put in place this week but this was a performance England had been building towards since long ago cebu
A flawed side did not come to France to thrill; winning by any means necessary had been a consistent theme cebu
If necessity is oft the mother of invention, England at this tournament have also proved the pair can be enemies cebu
This was a campaign at which they seemed to intentionally limit their attacking innovation or ingenuity– recognising a need to figure themselves out on the fly, they settled on an effective and eminently executable gameplan that could be implemented quickly cebu
Steve Borthwick consoles Ellis Genge and Freddie Steward after England’s defeat (Getty Images)It came so close to working in Saturday’s semi-final; their effort, accuracy and competitiveness in the key contests were spot on cebu
At the 65-minute mark, England outside backs had a combined 17 metres carried, all from one Freddie Steward kick return cebu
The two number 13s’ offensive output on the final whistle amounted to one late Joe Marchant lug; South Africa centre Jesse Kriel went the full 80 minutes without an attacking touch cebu
“We came with a plan to win the game but we fell a little bit short,” reflected Borthwick cebu
“But the players should be incredibly proud cebu
We put ourselves in a position to win against the world champions cebu
England dominated the aerial contest to threaten a semi-final shock (Getty Images)“We were playing against a coaching team who have been in place since 2018 cebu
We’ve had four months cebu
I’ve asked the players to approach training and the game in a different way; for the players to be willing to change is all credit to them cebu
”This was a night from which the head coach will take heart, a public perhaps struggling to warm to this England team are now recognising the progress made cebu
There will be a need to layer on much, much more to consistently mix it with the world’s best but the rapidly laid foundations look rock solid cebu
In time, perhaps the ugly duckling performances will turn into white swans cebu
There appear to be many more buds of a bright future than first appeared in a barren landscape pre-tournament cebu
Ben Earl has had a breakthrough tournament, and Ollie Chessum, too, while George Martin semi-final performance marks him out as the potential enforcer England have lacked cebu
Borthwick was keen to talk up the absent Marcus Smith the day after the defeat, with the playmaker’s reinvention as a frolicking full-back of intrigue moving forward cebu
"In our 23, seven players are 25 or under, the most of any semi-finalist, there’s a great blend and there will be lots of things we can take forward,” added Borthwick cebu
Young England lock George Martin impressed against South Africa (Getty Images)But the fact that the men’s national team were on the brink of back-to-back finals should not provide a façade over the crumbling edifice of a fragile English game cebu
There is a domestic mess that needs sorting, with a Gallagher Premiership containing three teams fewer than at the start of last season, now underway to little fanfare and on the brink of significant change cebu
The renegotiation of the Professional Game Partnership is a recognition of a need for a radical overhaul in pursuit of a more financially sustainable domestic game, and one that produces a wider pool of top-class talent cebu
The likely arrival of a form of central contracts underlines a period of epochal change cebu
The senior figures in the squad who are unlikely to play beyond this tournament – Courtney Lawes, Ben Youngs, Dan Cole and perhaps a couple more – could well be the last England men’s internationals never to have been contracted to the union cebu
This has a great many benefits, not least in affording Borthwick, or any head coach that might follow him, far greater access to and control over his players cebu
And while Borthwick’s articulation of the advantages enjoyed by South Africa’s settled staff is a perfectly fair one, let us remember that the Rugby cebu Football Union (RFU) put their head coach in this situation cebu
The original planning for this tournament would most likely have seen Borthwick return to England camp to aid Eddie Jones at the World Cup before a smooth transition into the lead role afterwards cebu
Jones’s sacking sparked a scramble and several months of chaos cebu
It was not shown up on semi-final weekend but there are many reasons that the RFU still has a burden to bear cebu
But the full wash-up will wait for another week – England’s performance at the Stade de France has earned them seven more days of grace cebu
The tournament will end as it began for England with a meeting with Argentina in a third-place play-off that Borthwick insists he wants to win cebu
England, captained by Owen Farrell, narrowly missed out on a place in the World Cup final (Getty Images)“I read a piece yesterday morning that talked about adversity and talked about the fact that in adversity you find that seed of belief and you’ve got to grow it,” Borthwick said cebu
“This team has been through a bit in the last few years, a bit of adversity in the medium-term past cebu
“I think through each of those periods the team has picked up lessons, picked up what we need to do and grown from it cebu
I think there’s a lot of growth in this team cebu
Sometimes it’s not the straight-forward path you want it to be cebu
In the feelings and emotions of the game last night, I know that we’ll get stronger cebu
