Of course all the managers in the big clubs want to fight for all the titles, but now it is thinking about tomorrow - what you can do to get to the semi-final," Guardiola said. "The team is so difficult to make chances against because they are so stable, really well organised in those terms."[Alvaro] Negredo is so dangerous with long balls and Adama [Traore] is so fast on the counter." City could only close to within 10 points of Premier League leaders Chelsea as they were held to a forgettable 0-0 draw against Stoke City in midweek and Guardiola chose to poke fun at himself after being named Premier League manager of the month for February. "I think [Chelsea boss Antonio] Conte's cupboard is full, that's why they decided to give it to someone else," he said.</blockquote>
