Pep Guardiola will control everything that happens at Manchester City in his quest for success, insists Sky Sports expert Thierry Henry. The Spaniard will leave Bayern Munich and take the reins at the Etihad from Manuel Pellegrini this summer .Guardiola won the Bundesliga three times in succession during his spell at the Allianz Arena but in his time there he failed to progress past the Champions League semi-finals. He will go to City with the aim of winning the Premier League and turning them into a European force.Henry played under Guardiola during their time at Barcelona and insists the 45-year-old will stop at nothing to ensure the team will be successful.He wants to dominate everything, Henry told the Premier League 15/16 Season Review show. Manuel Pellegrini felt the season was a good one for Manchester City He wants to dominate possession, he wants to dominate games, he wants to know whats happening in the dressing room, he wants to know what youre eating, where you are going. He wants to control everything. Thats how I know the guy and thats what he will try to do at Man City.Unfortunately he didnt have the opportunity to win the Champions League at Bayern Munich but we are talking about a guy who when he doesnt win the Champions League it seems like its failure. Guardiola (right) won three straight Bundesliga titles with Bayern Munich Jamie Carragher believes the job Guardiola has undertaken at City is a tough one, but he has a core of players he can build a successful team around.Man City have got four or five players that you can put up with anyone in the league, Carragher added.You look at David Silva, I think Kevin De Bruyne can be an absolute superstar next season, Joe Hart can be put up with anyone, Sergio Aguero as well.I still believe Pep Guardiola has a far bigger job then he envisaged when it was first announced he got the job.

An expired passport, replaced in a hurried 24 hours before flying to Sri Lanka, says a lot about how much Jon Holland has thought about playing for Australia in a Test match lately. But canny displays in training for the tourists, ahead of a game they must win, spoke equally loudly for a level of ability the selectors have always rated.The call from chairman of selectors Rod Marsh to tell Holland he needed to travel to Galle to replace Steve OKeefe and partner Nathan Lyon in the second Test necessitated a journey from Brisbane back to Melbourne for a hurried renewal of documents. It is seven years since Holland last made an Australian tour, an ODI sojourn to India in 2009.Rod rang me when I was up in Brisbane, getting ready for Australia A, and told me that SOK was not good and I had to get over here, Holland said. It was a bit of a surprise, so much of a surprise that I didnt have a passport ready, so I was a bit nervous.I went back to Melbourne, I had to renew it, it had expired. Getting over here, just being around the group it hits home a bit more.I will be a little bit nervous if I do get a chance to play, I have worked hard on my bowling the last couple of years. I am pretty comfortable with where my bowlings at. Hopefully, if I do get a chance, I can get myself into the game and get a couple of results.On that previous tour, Holland was so close to a debut that he had the chat with then captain Ricky Ponting informing him he would play in the final match of the series in Mumbai. But rain began to fall almost as soon as Ponting spoke those words, and so, Holland returned home without playing.It was the last game, wed already won the series, Holland said. Ricky told me on the bus after training which was the next day, and as soon as he told me, it started raining and it didnt stop until we got on the plane to come home, so unfortunately I missed out, but thats the way it goes.I guess it was in the back of my mind that time was getting away from me, but I really enjoy playing cricket for Victoria. Theyve stuck with me through three shoulder injuries and supported me and given me the chance to play cricket, I have to thank them. Its here now, its all a bit surreal still and I will just have to wait and see if I do get the chance to play.Usefully, Holland is dropping into the Australian side in a manner he has become familiar with for Victoria.ddddddddddddThe selectors preference for Fawad Ahmed as the No. 1 spinner has meant Holland only plays on spinning pitches, and has harvested 22 wickets at 16.41 from his past three Shield games, spread over two seasons. Eight wickets in the Shield final piqued the selectors interest ahead of this tour.I would like to play every game for Victoria but that hasnt been the case, he said. Fawad has bowled extremely well for Victoria and its been hard to get in there, and especially in Australia - playing two spinners doesnt happen too often, but my opportunities for Victoria have come and I enjoy playing for Victoria.The Shield final was a big game for me. Id missed out on a couple, one through injury and one not being selected the year before. It was a big dream of mine to play in a winning Shield for Victoria, and to get the opportunity and do well was a really great week for me.In watching the first Test of the series on television, Holland was reminded of the left-arm spinners art by the clever variations of Rangana Herath. There has been evidence of similar skill from Holland in training, varying his pace and degree of spin to beat Australian bats on numerous occasions. Cricketers rather than athletes, Herath and Holland share an instinctive understanding of deceit.He knows the conditions extremely well here, Holland said of Herath. He just bowls on the spot and knows how to subtly change his spin and variations and pace and that sort of thing. I think just about every time he bowls the ball its hitting the stumps, which is a big positive. I try to take a bit of that on board and try to do the same as that.If Hollands passport was unready, he has at least got in his kitbag a handful of good relationships with Australian team-mates from days gone by, whether it be Under-19 tours or his Academy intake.Most critical of all, he shares a good rapport with Steven Smith. Captain and spinner must stay close this week. Ive known Smithy since he was pretty young, Holland said. I guess we have got a pretty good relationship, so, hopefully, he backs me in and looks after me. ' ' '
