Sometimes I’m so angry losing, and also the opposite. It’s about working harder and harder.
As a manager, you have to analyse what you can do better. The way we defend and the opponent. When I lose that’s my job. pic.twitter.com/mgo27Pvv9n
He also insisted he will not change his philosophy and approach to football, despite his Manchester City side having suffered from three defeats in four English Premier League games.
"So, I don't have the secrets to know what's going to happen in the future, so when we lost the first one against Crystal Palace, because Sergio (Aguero) and Kevin (De Bruyne) was not there, and after the second game he was there.
"I tried to you know, to make my map of the situation more general and try to discover but it is a challenge for me. So, I need it, so all the managers have this kind of situation. I'm not an exception."
