Pep Guardiola feels his Manchester City players will need to cool off 바카라in the fridge바카라 after their exertions of the past few days. (More Football News)
City responded to last Wednesday바카라s draining penalty shootout loss to Real Madrid by digging in for a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Chelsea in their FA Cup semi-final at Wembley on Saturday.
The win, secured by a late goal from Bernardo Silva, maintained their hope of defending the domestic double but Guardiola later hit out at the scheduling of the fixture.
The City boss felt his players should have been allowed more rest after their European game and he now intends to give them a break before they return to Premier League action at Brighton on Thursday.
바카라In the fridge for two days,바카라 said Guardiola when asked what his plans were for his squad ahead of the trip to the Amex Stadium.
바카라Don바카라t see each other, stay at home with your families. Try to rest, nothing special.
바카라Two days to prepare for Brighton and (Nottingham) Forest. One game at a time.바카라
Guardiola clarified comments after the game suggesting he could boycott media duties over the issue.
The Spaniard insisted he meant to say he would not have time to go above and beyond the usual obligations.
바카라No, it바카라s Gary Lineker 바카라 come on!바카라 he said, in reference to the host of Saturday바카라s BBC TV coverage.
바카라If they ask for a photoshoot for the broadcasters, I바카라ll say no I바카라m busy, I don바카라t have time. It바카라s a joke for the future.
바카라I always attend the media because I represent this institution. I바카라ve always done it and will always do it, but if they ask for extra then I don바카라t have time.
바카라If you put me in a game every three days then the managers have a lot to do.바카라
Guardiola also praised the character of Silva, who had been one of two City players to miss in the penalties in the defeat by Real. The Portuguese had also been close to being substituted shortly before scoring his 84th-minute winner.
He said: 바카라Always life gives you a second chance and he took it.
바카라I was thinking of changing it and put Oscar (Bobb) on the right but, after the goal, Bernardo is so intelligent to keep the ball. So intuitive. In that moment I could not change him.
바카라He was so tired but Bernardo has this special intelligence. I바카라m so happy, he deserves the best. They weren바카라t easy days for him.바카라
