PEP GUARDIOLA insists he continues to be driven by the haters who want him to fail.

The Manchester City boss still has unfinished business - despite suggestions he feels he can do no more after winning the Club World Cup in Saudi Arabia last week.

City have now won every trophy possible during Guardiola's eight years in Manchester - but the Catalan reckons his critics are desperate to see him lose.

He said: "This is the business.

When you don't win, you are nothing, zero. As much as you win, they want you to fail more than ever.

"I've felt that since day one in Barcelona, that people are waiting.

What we have won, the titles, is unbelievable and the people say, 'How good they play, the methodology, how genius it is. But it is because I win.

"They don't understand anything about what we do, but give credit just because we win.
