Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has said that he is tired of expecting EPL clubs to get help with their schedule ahead of UCL games. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, while clubs like Real Madrid are given an extra 24 hours to recover for European fixtures, it is a shame to see that England prioritize the Carabao Cup.
Pep added that the broadcasters will keep making inconsiderate decisions as long as they keep making money.
His words, “For here in England it is more important what happened in the Carabao Cup than the Champions League games for the English teams.
It happened since day one. So it’s no surprise.
In the schedule, the broadcasters decide because they say, we pay a lot of money. OK, well done, I got a lot of money. Thank you so much. You’re so kind. So it’s that.”
WOW.
Pep Guardiola Sala is a Spanish professional football manager and former player who is currently managing Premier League club Manchester City.
