Pep Guardiola, Manchester City's manager, addresses media concerns about his team's distinctive tactical approach amid the evolution of more direct styles employed by other Premier League teams. He acknowledges that while teams are adapting and evolving, City remains committed to their unique philosophy, adapting in small increments rather than overhauling their strategy. Guardiola stresses the importance of maintaining their identity while being open to subtle adjustments, asserting that getting too focused on rivals could lead to losing sight of their successful core principles.
"Teams are evolving, and the way they play is becoming more direct. But we believe in our philosophy. Innovations come from understanding our style and adapting it in small increments."
"If we get too caught up in how others play, we can forget what makes us successful. It's essential to stick to our principles while being flexible."
