Guardiola wants Manchester pride ahead of success with Man City

Pep Guardiola's number one target with Manchester City is to make the people proud.

The Spaniard was officially unveiled as the club's new manager over the weekend and immediately outlined his goals which are ultimately to make the supporters happy, with team success also high on the agenda.

"The first target is team spirit and to play good as much as possible, and then after try to win one game and then a second one, then another.

"What I want is for our supporters and the people who love football to enjoy and be proud of what we did. Afterwards, we will see what is our level. Maybe we achieve titles, but if the people are not proud of us, it is nothing.

"It's a challenge. That's why I am here. But I cannot do it alone. We need our fans. Without that, it is impossible.

"As soon as possible we are going to try and create a team spirit.

"We need to create something special between each other. That is the most important thing. The rest will come."
