Guardiola: 'Uefa and Fifa are killing the players'

 "It's too much, they are killing the players. They are human beings, not machines": the stance against Fifa and Uefa is by Pep Guardiola and arrives at the press conference on the eve of the first leg of the Champions League which will see Manchester City face the Borussia Dortmund.

"I know that some of my players are sad because they would like to play them all but it is not possible. If you want to fight on all fronts, in what is the shortest season in history, you have to rotate. The players need rest, Uefa and Fifa are killing them, since we started the season we have never had a week off ", the words of the Catalan coach.

    "Being eliminated from Lyon last year was really hard to digest, I can't deny it was painful, it all stayed in my head for weeks. We didn't deserve to pass, but now we're here to try again," continued Guardiola.

    "Everyone wants to get as far as possible - he added - One thing is what you want, another is to show it on the pitch and beat the opponents, as we have done many times in all competitions. I want to be honest: I prepared the game as the previous one, the earlier one and the earlier ones in the last few months ".
