"Barcelona play in that way depending on the players they have, especially one. "I hear many times people say that Pep is coming here to change English football. I said at the beginning to forget about it because I am not coming here to change absolutely anything. "I want to learn and I will try to change one way to play for my players. I will try to convince them they can have fun and play good and win as many games as possible and fight for titles.  That is my only target, with the players that we are working with every single day, that is why I am trying."That is why Manchester City called me, to try to play in the way I believe with the players that I have."Of course I'm not going to play long balls when the tallest striker I have is short but of course i'm going to use Aguero, who has the quality to score goals in the right moment."We're going to play the way we play with our quality and we did it many times. I'm still really impressed with how quickly we played good, many times to win the game with personality in the short time.  "But to achieve what [Barcelona] achieve, we need decades. [Johna] Cruyff started when he arrived in 1989/90, so that's 25, 26 years."I am ambitious but not to change what is impossible to change in the short time. It's impossible."</blockquote>
