Mourinho stated that playing from the back with a goalkeeper who is not skilled enough can be complicated. He recalled that Manchester City's previous goalkeeper, Joe Hart, was considered one of the best in England. However, the team decided to replace him with Claudio Bravo, and later with Ederson. Mourinho suggested that this change was necessary because Bravo and Ederson are more suitable for Guardiola's playing style.

Last season, Manchester City struggled with injuries and age, which affected their performance. Despite this, Guardiola acknowledged that their tactics were not working as they used to. Mourinho, who has also experienced failing tactics in the past, believes that Manchester City needs to adapt their approach to succeed in the modern game.

The question now is whether Guardiola will consider changing his tactics, especially after the team's disappointing loss in the Club World Cup. Mourinho's comments highlight the importance of adapting to the changing circumstances in football.
