Manchester City head coach Josep Guardiola admitted that having many players in the team does not please him. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to the Spanish specialist, it is difficult to ensure healthy competition when some leaders are neither included in the starting lineup nor in the squad. As Guardiola said, it is good to have reserve players for all competitions, but he does not want players to be left out of the squad, because in such a situation it is hard to create a spirit of healthy competition and struggle within the team.
Pep recalled that in the first round, due to various reasons, he could not use the services of Rodri, Phil Foden, Ilkay Gündogan, and other players. The coach added that he will address the issue of reducing the team squad.
In the first round of the English Premier League, City defeated Wolverhampton 4-0 away.
