Pep Guardiola: I Only Understand Attacking Football

Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola said the Catalonian team is still maintaining the philosophy of attacking when facing Real Madrid in the first leg Champions League semi-final in Santiago Bernabue Stadium next week.

Barcelona's 1-0 defeat by extended time in the Copa del Rey final, and a 1-1 draw in Spain's La Liga.

Counterattack strategy that relied on Madrid coach Jose Mourinho makes Barcelona face two obstacles in the game. Local media then asked the possibility of playing on Guardiola to change tactics for the third and fourth meetings el Clasico.

"Looks like our style of play is the reason the defeat in the Copa del Rey final," said Guardiola told reporters reported by Reuters.

"Whether you win or lose, the game remains the same style. I just know the game attacking football. It has become the philosophy club, and I'm not going to change it. "

"We will continue to play attacking, and trying, and also scored a goal in the Bernabeu."
