What are the managers saying ahead of Manchester City vs Dinamo Zagreb?

Pep Guardiola, Manchester City:

"It is an incredibly intense team, so aggressive especially in the middle with long balls to the striker and when they are so strong with the second balls, they have fast players on the counter.

"It was a warning that they were able to beat Atalanta who last season finished and this season are third not far away from Juventus and Inter Milan with the same manager, doing incredibly well in a tough league.

"That they are able to win 4-0 is a warning to say 'be careful, guys'. We play at home the next two games and have an incredible chance to step forward but we try to discover what we do because the players don't know them. We are going to introduce to the team what Dinamo Zagreb are about as a team."

Nenad Bjelica, Dinamo Zagreb:

"I don't doubt they will be prepared for everything we throw at them. They are one of the best clubs in the world and it is going to be very difficult to surprise them.

"But tactics are one thing. Other things are more important - a lot of aggression, a lot of running and courage.

"We have to play with a big heart but we can achieve a big result against an opponent like this. We want to give everything to get a successful result.

"We want to achieve the maximum - that is three points, regardless of any situation, no matter what the stadium.

"I know it is very difficult and very few clubs manage to do that at Manchester City but we will have our chances. Many things have to click to get the result but we will try our best."
