Pep Guardiola is hoping to lead Manchester City on a long run in the "beautiful" Champions League.
City begin their latest challenge in Europe's elite competition, in which they reached the semifinals last season, as they take on Steaua Bucharest in the first leg of a playoff tie in Romania on Tuesday.
It is City's first European game under Guardiola, who won the Champions League twice during his time at Barcelona.
He said: "I enjoy my job preparing the games, seeing what is going to happen and anticipating what the players are going to find during the game, and trying to find solutions. That is my job.
"I saw enough games about Steaua. I have a lot of respect about how they play and we are going to try to score goals because in the Champions League scoring goals away is so, so important. But you know you have one more game next week in Manchester.
"Of course it is also convincing the players how important it is to play in the Champions League, how beautiful it is to play during the season in Europe. We are going to try to do that."
The Catalan added: "At the end, the pitch is the pitch and everything is level. It depends on our game. Every coach and every manager has his own ideas. I have one that I believe in a lot and I try every training session and every game to convince these guys that this is the best way to win the game.
"It all depends on the quality of the players. The first target is to try to play good for us and for our people, our fans. I would like them to go to the stadium and for them to think wow, I like how they play."
