„Manchester City“ players will not be able to spend much time with their families during Christmas. Coach Jose Guardiola does not intend to give any rest and has planned serious preparation for the match against „Hull City“ on December 26. And Christmas will not be a day off for „Manchester City“ players.
„We plan to train on December 24 and 25. And then we will travel by bus to our opponents. We intend to prepare for the match as if it were not Christmas time. No special days“, – said J.Guardiola, who is already known for his very strict work ethic.
J.Guardiola did not face such a situation at „Barcelona“ and „Bayern Munich“ clubs. Both in Spain and Germany during the holidays, he used to have holidays, so the English „Premier“ league presented new challenges.
English teams play during the holiday period as well.
In addition, this stage in the „Premier“ league is even busier. In eight days, „Manchester City“ will play three matches. On December 31, they will face „Liverpool“, and on January 2 - „Burnley“.
J.Guardiola said that he discussed the intense holiday period with David Silva.
„These are my first years here. I didn't know that people should be completely focused on work during winter and Christmas. This is very important. You are at home, celebrating, having dinner. Now we have to be prepared“, – said J.Guardiola.
„Manchester City“ team is third in the English championship and is seven points behind the leader, London's „Chelsea“.
