A former Manchester City Premier League winner has jokingly claimed they were 'brainwashed' by Pep Guardiola during his time at the Etihad.

Guardiola is known as finest footballing technician in the modern game, masterminding the new era of tiki taka football which has become commonplace across Europe.

While his system is undeniably successful, having yielded three Champions Leagues and countless league titles in his time with Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Man City, he has also faced criticism for coaching individuality out of players.

However those nay-sayers are in the minority, with the vast majority of players who spent time under the Spanish maestro have come out to sing his praises, and former City defender Danilo, is very much one of them.
