Summer mercato 2012

[ACM2023]

I wouldn't take what Guardiola says too seriously. It's just false modesty.

I wouldn't call it false modesty..that's quite cynical. I would say he shows all his opponents respect..and that's good of a manager. Also when he made that statement, I think only Milan, Barca, Benfica and APOEL were through

I do agree with Hasan. That probably is false modesty (I do remember how he reacted after the first game this season), but I guess that relatively speaking, he shows the most respect towards Milan out of the many opponents. He has had his share of experiences with Milan when he was a player in Barcelona and in Brescia.
