Over the last 8 days "Man City" had to play three matches, and Josep Guardiola's players could not keep up the pace - in the last game they failed to beat the "Crystal Palace" team with a 0:0 score, thus ending their record-breaking winning streak.
The press specialist expressed disappointment with the intense schedule.
"Of course, these are traditions, but they are not beneficial to the players. Clearly, footballers must adapt.
Last season we lost to "Liverpool" and two days later we played for 65 minutes against "Burnley" with ten against eleven. That's what it's all about.
Is this physically and technically beneficial for the players? No. It's a complete disaster.
However, the league is the league and if it was decided to play like this during the Christmas period, we must adapt."
