Pep Guardiola is famed for his attention to detail and Gael Clichy has revealed that the Manchester City manager even contemplates the beat-per-minute of pre-game music.

Clichy is the designated DJ for his side and constructs a playlist for the dressing room ahead of matches.

The French defender explained that Guardiola took exception to one track which he deemed too slow and demanded something with more, 'boom-boom'.

Gael Clichy revealed Pep Guardiola's complaint over his selection of pre-game music

Clichy spoke about his manager's desire for up-tempo tracks with high beats-per-minute

The Frenchman puts together a playlist and even mixes the songs ahead of matches

Before City's 3-1 victory against Swansea, Clichy opted for more relaxed hip-hop but the Spanish boss demanded a higher tempo.

Clichy told kicca: 'When we played against Swansea away, I put some hip-hop on and it was kind of a low BPM, so everyone liked it, mostly the English players.

'But it was really chilling vibes, he didn’t like it so much because he wants a bit more energy before the game.

'He came to me and said, that’s too slow, we want a bit more boom-boom!

'He is the kind of guy who is into all details, so he will be looking round seeing if the players will be happy with the music – if the players are alive – and if he sees this I guess I've done my job right.'

Guardiola is famed for his attention to detail and search to give his side the edge

Guardiola's search for marginal gains is widely acknowledged and the obsessive manager has even takes an interest in the sex-lives of his players.

He previously said: 'It’s impossible to play good football if you don’t [have] sex with your partner, if you are doing it… better players.'

His desire to have his team fired up ahead of kick-off is understandable as Guardiola's style of play puts impetus on quick movement and passing.

Clichy said aside from Guardiola's one complaint generally the staff enjoy his playlists

Perhaps his concern is that slow music breeds a lethargy among his players who need a high tempo to execute his philosophy of quick incisive passing.
