The Catalan coach was harshly criticized after losing against Barcelona, while his tactical decisions were also a topic.

No matter what happens, Pep Guardiola does not seem to be ready to change his tactics.

In a controversial press conference today, the Catalan boss spoke about a wide variety of topics, which included discussing why Sergio Aguero and Vincent Kompany were left on the bench to face Los Blaugranas. 

As members of the press started rumors about a complicated relationship between the Argentinean ace and the former Bayern Munich manager, Guardiola stepped up and denied rumors of Aguero's departure.

"Whenever Sergio wants to leave, it will be his decision. I spoke to him prior to the game, I explained to him what I wanted to achieve by leaving him out. I wanted another midfielder and he understood completely. Yes, he is in my plans. If that changes, you should check with me before you write something," Guardiola stated.

But the Catalan manager was close to losing his cool when asked if he has thought about changing his tactical approach on the game.

Have a look at his answer.
