Guardiola said: “Since I have been Manchester City manager and we have been together, Joe has been ideal”.
Pep Guardiola has been slammed as “disgusting” for his treatment of Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart by the club’s former player Joey Barton.
The relationship between Hart and Guardiola is understood to be frosty and the manager is expected to leave out the goalkeeper again for today’s Champions League play-off first leg against Steaua Bucharest in Romania.
“I think he should get his head down, and I think he has ten years left at the top of the game”.
“We are going to try and score goals and try to convince the players how important it is to play in the Champions League and how attractive it is”, the City manager said at his pre-match media conference.
However the former Bayern Munich and Barcelona boss admitted his team must improve on their season opening win against Sunderland on Saturday 13 August.
New City boss Pep Guardiola gave Argentine Willy Caballero the No. 1 spot in the 2-1 victory over Sunderland, with the England global relegated to the bench. “Players when they do not play they are sad, of course, I would not like them to be happy when they don’t play”.
It is a remarkable change of situation for 29-year-old Hart, who has been one of the mainstays of City’s successes in recent years and was one of their most consistent performers last season.

“What interests me is the final of the Supercup, gaining a title which is attractive for us”. “The club I played for wouldn’t have treated a player that had been a servant for as long as Joe has in the manner that it has”. “I wouldn’t be surprised to see Everton go and offer £50 million or something stupid for him”.
