■About Guardiola

Emery said: "Facing Guardiola is always very, very difficult. First of all, because he coaches the strongest team in the world and has the best players in the world; secondly, because in my opinion, he is the best coach in the world. He is very competitive, whether it is tactical level, ball control or It's the way the team is built every year. His team is amazing, he's a real talent. "Guardiola is very humble as a person. He has achieved so much and he has always been very respectful to me, and that's the most important thing about him as a person. Personal character. He's a great guy and one of the best as a professional coach. "

■About Haaland

"Looking at it as a whole, we have to be very focused on limiting him. We will prepare for the game on an individual level, try to have an advantage in one-on-one confrontations and try to stop him. Personal confrontation alone may not be enough to completely restrain him. "

"We need other players to provide certain support, and then restrict him in different ways through tactical means, or rely on the goalkeeper's last-minute save to resolve the chance that he may break our tactical structure, or deal with it through one-on-one confrontations we can have, or even through tactical support.
