On how the job here is different to his Leicester City job
I took it exactly the same way; focus on the squad, how we can help them and improve the team. The same way I took the Leicester job is how I took this. Improve the players and the team, no more than that. I get paid for that, no more than that. I spend many hours to figure out how I can help the players improve.
On keeping players happy
I try to have a close relation with the players. You can see at Leicester I had a fantastic relation with the players. I loved them. I'm trying to do the same thing here. The problem is if you say something they don't like, they think you don't want them to be close.
The same thing happened with Reece James and when I spoke about leadership. I want him to improve and it's the same with Noni, nothing different.
On his Madueke comments
Noni, overall he is working well since we started but sometimes he drops a little bit. He is not allowed to drop. In terms of numbers, he is doing fantastic. Off the ball when we ask him to defend and press, he is doing very well. The reason I said this the other day is because I want the best for Noni and the way to do that is to push him. The moment he relaxes a little bit, it is wrong.

Mourinho hits back
Jose Mourinho has taken umbrage with what Pep Guardiola said about the number of titles he won in comparison with the Manchester City boss.
Guardiola and Man City stopped the rot on Wednesday when they claimed a 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest at the Etihad Stadium.It ended a run of four straight defeats in the Premier League and seven games without a win in all competitions.
Guardiola had been subject to taunts from the Liverpool fans after the 2-0 loss at Anfield on Sunday that he was "getting sacked in the morning". The Spaniard responded by showing six fingers to the Reds faithful - one for every Premier League title he has won.
