GUARDIOLA during the press conference ahead of Al Hilal: "Maybe the Club World Cup will destroy us"

Pep Guardiola, manager of Manchester City, stated this Sunday that he understands the position of the German coach Jürgen Klopp, who criticized the Club World Cup for overloading the schedule, but at the same time expressed his pride in competing in the tournament. "It doesn’t surprise me, I understand him, I respect him. I had an excellent relationship with him, and I understand his point of view — I would defend it as well. But we’re in a job, with FIFA, UEFA, the Premier League, all the competitions, and coaches don’t organize them. Since we’re here, we’re proud to be here. Many clubs complain about this tournament, but if they were in it, they’d love it," the Spanish manager added. City will play their round of 16 match this Monday in Orlando against Al Hilal. "We’ve reached the moment of truth. We had a good group stage — the first two games weren’t great, but the last one was much better. There are no second chances here. It’s now or we go home," said Guardiola. #machestercity #guardiola Más información en http://www.mundodeportivo.com/ Síguenos en Facebook https://www.facebook.com/MundoDeportivo.com Síguenos en Twitter https://twitter.com/mundodeportivo Síguenos en Twitch https://www.twitch.tv/mundodeportivo Este vídeo ha sido publicado en el contexto del diario Mundo Deportivo
