Aymeric Laporte

I've renewed four times with Athletic. I've done what I wanted, I've shown confidence in the club and them in me.

It's clear that winning trophies increases confidence.

Bielsa certainly had his own methods. He brought in laptops and showed us videos of where to be on the pitch in terms of position. They were strange little things, but that's why we learnt a lot under him.

There's always a feeling of revenge any time you lose against any team.

My style of play has always been 'Guardiola style,' so I've not had too many problems. At the same time, he helps you to evolve and to change little things, because it's obviously not exactly the same style of play as at Bilbao.

I like to think of myself as a modern defender rather than old school.

Every training session you take part in, you have to work very hard and train hard because there is no other way to get where you want to be - it's not a secret and not a magic formula - just hard work and application.

It is impressive that Barcelona and Bayern have been interested in me. It is the fruit of my hard work, but I think you have to take a certain lightness because it does not correspond to a reality.

The objective is to give high performances for Manchester City today, tomorrow, and in the future.
