PSV midfielder Gotze: Schmidt more intense than Man City boss Guardiola

PSV Eindhoven midfielder Mario Gotze has spoken of playing for Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola.

The pair worked together at Bayern Munich and Gotze discussed the Catalan when talking about PSV coach Roger Schmidt.

"Roger has helped me a lot and I have learned a lot from him," Götze told Kicker.

"He has taken much of his coaching philosophy from the Red Bull concept: high pressure, to defend as far into the opponents' half of the field as possible.

"Roger is more extreme than Pep Guardiola in that area."
