Watford boss Quique Sanchez Flores is full of praise for Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola.

Sanchez Flores says Guardiola has changed football in England for the better.

"The philosophy I think is really new," said Sanchez Flores.

"When he arrived in England, English football was changing, it was in the middle of some big changes.

"Many good coaches are coming here, introducing this idea to touch the ball, but we know the English fans they don't like to touch horizontal, they like to touch forward, so it's completely different.

"Pep is putting the stamp for this change, this kind of big change, so of course finally he defined a little bit the change.

"When he was coaching Barcelona you could see that he's a clever guy and he's thinking very well and really passionate with football.

"If you look like this, you have the possibility to change a lot. If you have very good players like he has, you have more possibilities to change things, so the ingredients they are really good for him."
