Manuel Pellegrini explained this Monday to the midday that one of the challenges of the City will be "to conserve the style and the personality". His rival in the benches in this eliminatory of eighth of Champions, Gerardo Martino, also thinks that all reduces to this question: "The City has a profile of team very seemed to the ours, perhaps a bit more direct, but with players to which likes them have the balloon. In a party with two teams that base his game in the construction, the one who do not have the balloon will be the one who suffer more".

In this sense, sees vital to have the balloon. "Keep the possession benefits us to us and reduces the possibilities of the City", has declared, recognising that the two aims of the team are to control the party and can mark in the Etihad Stadium.

To Martino also has asked after him the offensive power of the Manchester City. "It is a dangerous team inside, by out and to unemployed balloon. That it was the team more goleador of the Premier shows that it is difficult to control and when we have to defend, will defend. The best way to counter them is to remove them the balloon", has affirmed.

The Barcelona technician thinks that both teams face the eliminatory "in his best moment". "The City is one of the best teams of the world", has resumido, before recognising that this eliminatory could have produced in a more advanced phase of the competition.

Asked after the absence confirmed of Agüero, has been sincere: "Like fan regret that it was not, but like trainer of the rival team supposes a problem less". On the possible titularity of Neymar Jr has not hinted: "What more value is to have it healthy. It will touch us decide if it plays from the start or as the other day, of acting".
