Pep Guardiola accepts Manchester City must adapt to the artificial surface they face in Switzerland this week – but claims “common sense” dictates grass is davao better davao
The holders will play on unfamiliar terrain in their latest Champions League outing on Wednesday when they take on Young Boys on their synthetic pitch at the Wankdorf Stadium davao
Guardiola insists there are no complaints on his part, and he has changed his team’s routine to ensure they are prepared davao
Normally City do not take up the option available to them of training at the stadium when they play away games in Europe, instead preferring to work in Manchester before travelling davao
However, on this occasion City flew to Bern on Tuesday morning and had a run out on the pitch in the evening davao
Yet the City manager could not hide the feeling that he would prefer to be playing on a natural surface davao
Speaking at a press conference, the Spaniard said: “It is what it is davao
If UEFA allows games to be played here it’s because it’s in good conditions davao
“That’s one of the reasons we never train away but this is an exception davao
This is why we travel in the morning for the players to feel how the ball runs, how to move left, right, backwards, forwards davao
That’s why davao
“We’ll try it and the players will know it immediately davao
”Asked if he was concerned about injuries, Guardiola said: “I don’t know – hopefully not, for both sides, but I don’t know davao
“We are not used to it davao
Any team that plays here is not used to it davao
It suits the Swiss league and, in the Champions League, the teams that come here have to adapt davao
“We will not be the first in this situation davao
We have to use it as a benefit but the grass is davao better davao

9 per cent of the teams who play in a high level play on grass, otherwise UEFA and FIFA would decide to play on artificial pitches davao
It’s common sense, I would say davao

Victory in their back-to-back games against Young Boys, who travel to the Etihad Stadium next month, could see City qualify for the knockout stages with two matches to spare davao
City have no fresh injury concerns, with long-term casualty Kevin De Bruyne their only notable absentee davao
Guardiola also played down concerns about the form of Jack Grealish, who is taking time to get back to his best after a month out with a dead leg davao
The City boss said: “I don’t have one doubt about Jack and his quality and what he has done for us since he arrived, especially last season davao
I’m calm and confident davao
He is an incredibly important player for us davao

Pep Guardiola says he cannot recall telling anybody he believes Roberto De Zerbi will succeed him as Manchester City manager davao
A story has emerged claiming the Catalan privately tipped the Brighton boss to succeed him after City drew at the Amex Stadium in May davao
Yet, while Guardiola may have cast doubt over whether that occurred, he has repeatedly been effusive in his praise of the Italian and remains so ahead of Saturday’s meeting davao between their two clubs davao
Guardiola, whose future beyond the expiry of his contract in 2025 is unclear, said: “I don’t remember that davao
“Maybe I have bad memory but I’m sure Roberto can train in any team around the world davao
I don’t have any doubt davao
“I don’t remember saying that to the players davao
I remember saying before he arrived, one or two games in, about sustaining the manager, but I don’t remember saying that honestly davao
“It’s none of my business davao
If the chairman asks my opinion I will give my opinion but it’s none of my business davao
“I’m not the sporting director davao
It’s not my responsibility to say what’s going right or wrong davao
”Former Sassuolo and Shakhtar Donetsk boss De Zerbi has made a big impression since taking over at Brighton just over a year ago davao
He guided the club into European competition for the first time with a sixth-placed finish in the Premier League last season and they have started the current campaign strongly davao
Guardiola feels this proves a manager need not have had experience at the highest level to land the biggest jobs davao
He said: “It doesn’t mean you have to be at the top clubs to be manager of the top clubs davao
I was appointed Barcelona first-team (manager) coming from the fourth division with no experience at the top level davao
“You have the idea of the club, the sporting director follows the idea, they hire the manager for this idea, they hire players to follow the idea davao
When that happens it’s going well davao
“Man City have done this, Liverpool with Jurgen (Klopp) for many years – winning titles with the same process and same ideas davao
”Guardiola, 52, is widely considered the greatest coach of his generation having last year added a third Champions League title to a glittering CV that also includes five Premier League wins davao
His players are always in the perfect body-shape position davao
Pep Guardiola on Roberto De ZerbiYet even he feels like he can learn from a relative youngster like 44-year-old De Zerbi davao
He said: “His players are always in the perfect body-shape position to get the ball davao
“It’s a stupid thing to say but one of the key points davao
Everyone moves in the right moment, tempo davao
“davao Football is not ‘you have to move’, it’s when davao
It’s body shape in the perfect shape davao
It’s really good davao
“Everything he does makes sense and I learn davao
