Manchester City is one team that has a very packed schedule. This gives them less time to prepare for upcoming matches. However, in his press conference, Pep revealed that he only takes 10 minutes during training sessions to discuss tactics. Speaking on how his players adjust, he hilariously answers,” Because I’m really good! I’m a handsome man, and I seduce them, and we do it! So, I’m really good!”. Pep further explained,” I know what I’m talking about, we do need a class and I’ll show you the videos, but you don’t have time for me!”.

The Manchester City manager also revealed that in his seven years, his team has not trained more than 35 minutes in total to avoid more injuries from happening before the matches. These comments prove that the players are aware of the demands of the manager on the matchday. The limited training has really helped them as they have no injury problems other than Kevin De Bruyne.

These comments point out that the Premier League and organizers of other competitions need to sort out the schedule congestion problem in the last few seasons. Amid all these funny comments, Pep Guardiola did show his emotions against Liverpool after the match by engaging in a verbal clash against a Liverpool star.
