We had to work to adapt to his style. "I don't want to sugar-coat it, but I think that next season we'll see if his approach was the right one. It looks like everything is already here, but we are still a club under construction."Next season we'll have to perform better." Kompany, who has started five of City's past six games, is finally getting the chance to play under Guardiola on a regular basis after two years plagued by what appeared to be career-threatening injury problems."I'm very happy," he enthused. "I've worked so hard, I've fought so hard for this. My motivation has always been high. I've never doubted myself. "I've that happy feeling: look, I'm back again! I have always been rational. I know my situation and I know why I came back. As long as I feel that inner strength, I'll be alright. "My only wish is that I could be part of the team that reaches that final goal [of winning the Champions League]. One day it will happen – I'm sure."</blockquote>
