Manchester City CEO, Ferran Soriano has said Pep Guardiola is the best coach in world football, even if it is difficult to argue with Zinedine Zidane's record at Real Madrid. Zidane has been under scrutiny since he rejoined Madrid, despite his brilliant first stint at the club that saw him win three successive Champions League trophies. And even if Ferran agrees with Zidane recently saying Pep is the finest coach around, he also feels Zidane is a force to reckon with. His words, "In the case of Zidane, the results speak for themselves, as in the case of Pep," "There are all the titles he has won in La Liga, the Bundesliga, the Premier League. "For me, Guardiola is the best coach in the world because he is our [coach]." On the UCL, Soriano said, "You look at them and wherever you look - the quality of the players, the money invested, the salaries we pay - these are two great teams that are very even," "It is unlikely that one team is far superior to the other - it will depend on how these two games take place. "As usually happens in the Champions League, the tie can depend on a small detail, a defensive mistake or a referee error, which can be decisive." "You usually insist on the importance of City's style of play, while Real Madrid's style is usually winning no matter how. "With Zidane they have won three Champions Leagues in a row. That's the reality. They have won three Champions Leagues in a row with Zidane and four in five years. Discussions about the style of play die when the data is exposed. "I talk about what concerns Manchester City, where we play a certain style of football, however, we do it because we believe in it and also because we're doing well, because when we don't play well we usually lose. "Ours is a way of looking at simple football: we've to play our way, and we can execute it in different ways, however, the style, the fundamentals, have to be the same so that we do well. "We can never lose that essence. Maybe other teams can play in several different ways, however, not us."
