Guardiola on criticism from 'Mr' Capello

There are some telltale signs when Pep Guardiola is really irritated by someone.

One, definitely, is when he adds Mr in front of their name.

So, to understand his view of former England boss Fabio Capello, you just need to read his response to my question regarding the comments about him made by the Italian earlier this week.

Capello had labelled Guardiola 'arrogant' for his management style, then said the tactical approach of City's boss actually killed Italian football for a time because everyone was trying to replicate it.

I started by asking Guardiola if he paid any attention to comments from the likes of Capello, who also managed at the highest level of the game.

"I listen to everything that people say about me, so be careful," he said.

"It's not the first time Mr Fabio Capello has said that.

"I'm not good enough to ruin Italian football. A big hug to Fabio. A big hug."

We might be waiting a while to see that.
