Pep Guardiola has backed Rodri in his comments suggesting Manchester City stars would consider a “strike” due to an increasingly busy schedule.
Guardiola echoed Rodri’s sentiments that players are the most important factor in football, with the City boss saying any change would only come from the actions of his own stars. Rodri had criticised the decision to add more matches to the football calendar, believing many players would be prepared to strike because ” we are the ones who suffer from it “.
UEFA have introduced a new Champions League format, which has led to more matches being added to an already intense football calendar. City are also set to take part in the revamped Club World Cup at the end of the season, which will feature additional teams and matches, leading Rodri to claim that player welfare was being neglected, although some have dismissed any notion of a strike as “an insult”. nonsense”.
Guardiola supports players
Guardiola said: ” I agree that many voices are talking about the players. If something is going to change, it has to come from the players. They are the only ones who can change things.
“The world of football can do without managers, sporting directors, media and owners, but without players you can’t play. Only they have the power to do so.”
