Pep Guardiola insists his Manager of the Month win is "nothing special" - he wants glory at end of season. Guardiola was named the top boss from September but Guardiola only wants to win trophies at the end of the season.Pep Guardiola couldn’t wait to push his Manager of the Month award to one side – the Spaniard has bigger things on his mind.It’s okay. Thank you,” was his initial response to setting September alight in the Premier League with four wins comprising 17 goals and none in reply, he added “It’s good. Thank you very much to the Premier League. But obviously the ones who win it are the ones who are on the pitch, the players.If you win, you have more chances to win the award. At the end of the day, you depend on your players. I am very grateful, nothing special - just thanks to the Premier League.”
That over – it’s on to other business. Winning the Premier League and the Champions League is top of the Spaniard’s agenda.Guardiola wants City to build on their win over Chelsea. Mancity secured an impressive victory at Stamford Bridge before the international break. His biggest concern is whether City can carry on against Stoke City where they left off before the international break. It’s why despite an electric start to the season there will be no change in the frantic Guardiola demeanour in the technical area.I am not more calm, all the managers have stress, some of them react in different ways, it’s our job. Nothing changes too much,” he said.However, ahead of schedule Guardiola should be able to call on record chasing striker Sergio Aguero.
Aguero is just one goal away from equalling Eric Brook’s all time club record of 177 but broke a rib and needed hospital treatment after being involved in a road accident in Amsterdam on September28.Aguero was involved in a car crash in Amsterdam, Aguero is set to return to City
Argentina’s team doctor Donato Villaini originally suggested Aguero would be on the sidelines for six weeks.But on Friday, Guardiola said: “He did his first training session after what happened and he did it quite well.Hopefully as soon as possible he’ll be back. Maybe Saturday, we’ll see. He’s not 100 per cent but it’s (the accident) not as dangerous as it could have been.. He explained what happened but you just think what might have happened.This month will be so important. We have a lot of games at home and especially playing in the Champions League against one of the best teams (Napoli). It’s why it is so important for us to keep the momentum we had from before the international break.”
Guardiola remembers Hughes right from his time at Barcelona Guardiola remembers Stoke boss Mark Hughes from the former Manchester United striker’s season at Barcelona.I was a ball boy. The same when Gary Lineker was there as well, he said. “It was a tough period at Barcelona at that time. He was a difficult striker to stop in the box. He was strong and a fighter, like his teams now. Of course, he was one of the top strikers in the Premier League.
