Zabaleta feels very lucky to have Guardiola

Every season that starts with a new club, Pep Guardiola somehow manages to earn the respect and admiration of some players and the complete and utter disrespect of a bunch of other players. Usually it's the more famous and star status characters the ones who end up not liking Pep Guardiola for his personality. But the ones who have a more low profile style, those are the players who end up falling in love with Guardiola's methods. 

A good example is Pablo Zabaleta, who thinks Guardiola's arrival is the best thing that has happened to City. He spoke to the Daily Star about it: "I think for players when you have the opportunity to work with the best managers it's something really special. The experience will be great and I'm sure that in the next three years the club will make a step forward. I am absolutely sure of this because Pep Guardiola is one of the greatest managers and we are so lucky to have him at Manchester City.

"For him it's a new experience of the Premier League, a different league, and so I think the players will need to try and help him. Especially those of us who have been here a long time who know the Premier League very well. We need to work as a group and try to play well. His style of play is maybe a bit different to what we've done in the past. But that is normal every time you work under a new manager with their own ideas. You have to work hard."
