Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero has spoken of how his football has improved under manager Pep Guardiola.

Many thought Guardiola's appointment at the Etihad would see Aguero's role in the team diminish.

But, in the latest serialisation of the new book 'Pep's City: The Making of a Superteam', it has been revealed that Guardiola planned a dinner to help Aguero learn his tactical style.

In an extract published by The Sun, Aguero said: "Pep asked me to try a new way of playing and I had to adapt. It wasn't easy but I had no choice.

"My game is totally different now from what I was doing five years ago at City. A total transformation. At that meal, we talked about loads of things.

"We kept postponing it and then when we finally met up, we talked about work for 20 minutes or so. The rest of the meal we spent chatting about other stuff, family, life in general."

He added: "When Pep arrived I was a bit taken aback by his intensity, it wasn't always easy to understand what he wanted.

"With Pep, it can feel like he's putting a lot of pressure on you. You start thinking, "I've got to play well" and only end up putting even more pressure on yourself.

"But I understood pretty quickly that's just how he is. Pep is super intense. He won't leave you alone for a second. There are no off days."
