I am just trying to skate hard, said Prince, who scored in his second straight game after missing the previous five with a lower-body injury.

Pep Guardiola began life as Manchester City manager on Sunday by dismissing any chance of signing Lionel Messi and outlining his determination to silence critics who doubt he will be able to replicate his success at Barcelona and Bayern Munich.Guardiola, possibly the most coveted coach in world soccer, was welcomed by an estimated 6,000 City supporters at a fan event at the clubs Etihad Stadium campus.Presented alongside six players from across Citys various teams, in front of a screen bearing the motto It Begins, Guardiola was relaxed -- even to the point of answering a question from a heckling fan about whether Messi would be following him to City.Hes not a bad player, this guy, Guardiola responded, but I am sorry, Messi has to stay in Barcelona for the rest of his career.Guardiola has won 22 trophies -- including the Champions League twice -- since 2008, firstly with a Messi-inspired Barcelona until 2012 and then at Bayern Munich from 2013-16.City will be the biggest challenge of his career, though, given the strength in depth of the Premier League.

Thats why Im here -- because I want to try.I came here to learn, Guardiola told the supporters, to learn how the people live here, for my family, for my kids. Thats why Im always curious to move in Europe and learn what its like to live in England.Guardiola said he will need time to get to know his players.City said Guardiola will have an eight-strong backroom team including four assistant coaches, one of whom will be Mikel Arteta after the midfielder chose to retire following five seasons at Arsenal.Arteta began his career at Barcelona with its junior sides, when Guardiola was playing for the Spanish clubs first team.Rodolfo Borrell, Messis first coach at Barca with a reputation for nurturing young talent, will also be an assistant coach.Guardiola had a trial at City in 2005, when Stuart Pearce was the manager, but wasnt offered a contract.One of my dreams would have been to play here like a football player, he said. It was not possible and now my dream has come true.Germany midfielder Ilkay Gundogan and Spain forward Nolito have already joined City this offseason as Guardiola begins reshaping the squad. ' ' '
