Slot has seen his new-look side dominated in several of those matches with Carragher explaining why they are struggling so much before referencing his overly positive Guardiola comments.He said on the Stick to Football podcast: "If we’re being totally honest, in the games they've lost, they can't handle the physicality of the Premier League this season, they can't. So when he played Man City last week, he was talking like Pep [Guardiola] was his hero and he probably is for a lot of coaches.



That is his football.”Much of the build up was centred around Guardiola given the historic achievement, but Slot appeared to go above and beyond when heaping praise on his counterpart.He told Sky Sports before the game: "You're always looking forward to watching his team play. When you are analysing every opponent, it's always nice when you play against his teams because then you have the privilege to watch five, six, seven games of his team and you never get bored."At least I never get bored because his team always have a very good and clear idea in ball possession, they always try to make the people happy."It's a joy to watch where so many other games are not, in my opinion, a joy to watch anymore.Slot added: "The Barcelona team was unbelievable.

Hoping they would play on a Sunday night at 8pm, so there was one thing to look forward to at the end of the weekend."Then when he went to his other teams, he also invented new things like the inverted full-back. It's always something special if you watch a game on one of his teams."A lot of managers win, but in the style he has won his trophies, that is why he stands out compared to many others."I wonder if there are many managers that start their career now that will reach 1,000 [games], especially at the level he's worked at, because it was probably already very hard to achieve that and there's a lot of sacrifices coming with that."
