French Bayern Munich star Franck Ribery criticised Pep Guardiola quite harshly, but the coach responded with class by saying he loves the winger.
"About Ribery I must say, I love him very much. It's good that Ribery says that I'm young. I'm here to learn," said Guardiola while laughing.
The 45-year-old Man City coach was told about Ribery's comments after beating Borussia Dortmund on penalties in a friendly.
"Guardiola is a young coach with a lack of experience," Ribery had stated, hitting out at his former coach. "Sometimes he talked too much. Football is very simple."
