“I learn a lot watching his teams, the movement, the club rely on him 100% and his ideas,” Guardiola said when asked about Conte.

“He showed in Juventus and changed many things, at Milano, at Chelsea. If the club rely on him 100% they will have success.

“In my first season it was tough against him. To be there for a long time in this country, he can talk about it. We know how difficult this country is.
