This is why Guardiola is maybe one of the greatest managers of our time. When they asked him if he might change his style of play, his response was simply Cheesy

:

“Yeah, after 18 titles I will change my plan, after winning four Premier Leagues in a row I’m going to change the way I believe my football teams are going to play... NEVER, EVER WILL I CHANGE MY BELIEFS IN THE WAY WE ARE GOING TO PLAY!
But, if we regain up the pitch I want to attack quick, when the opponents high press man-to-man and we break the first press I want to attack quick, but after that I LOVE TO PASS THE BALL, A THOUSAND, MILLION BORING, BORING PASSES, I LOVE IT!”

I have to admit, I love this about him. I prefer attacking football way more than the tactical style of, for example, the Italians.

This is a man who knows how the game works and what he wants that have been working for him, without losing trophies when he's operating base on what he believes is another thing that keeps him going always. His style of play is one of the best and we can see how the Citizens plays even when he was with Barcelona, he made it look easy for the players to adapt and the part where he makes the opponents struggle to get the ball when his team is in the mood is something else and he'll continue to make the EPL his play ground. This season might not be the way he planned and starting at a slow pace is something I feel the club will get past it but I still believe he can get back to speed where scoring goals and winning games has been his tradition and they can still compete for titles this season.
