Pep Guardiola begins life without Kevin De Bruyne against Huddersfield this weekend, but the build up to the match was dominated by reviews of his on-screen performance.
Guardiola has found himself at the centre of intense media scrutiny this week, following the release of Amazon's fly-on-the-wall documentary series that covers City's Premier League-winning season.
The unprecedented access granted to the film's producers created sensational headlines, even before it was officially launched for public viewing on Friday.
And, although Guardiola concedes the series may reveal some of his managerial techniques, he is relaxed about that possibility.
"We had cameras following us 24 hours a day so that can happen," said Guardiola.
"People will see how a team is behind the scenes.
"On the secrets, every game is completely different to the others, and the players make the tactics. You have Kevin De Bruyne playing one way, and if he is not available, you have to adapt to the players who are playing in his place.
"So then we have to change our tactics. Tactics are about football players, not ideas from the manager."
- 'You are at the limits' -
===========================
"Things happened. But I think it's an honest product, because we were there, and after one month, we forgot the cameras were there. After that, they decide what they did."
