Man City in once in a lifetime position – Guardiola

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has said the club is currently in a once in a lifetime position.

He wants his players to recharge after Sunday’s Premier League finale.

The champions will close out their Premier League campaign against Brentford before their FA Cup and Champions League final commitments.

Guardiola said: “If we had played one game a week for the last month, maybe I wouldn’t give the players two days off but in that moment we need to disconnect.

“Even our physios and doctors and chefs, they work incredibly hard in this period. They don’t have time off. They need to disconnect.

“They are here working 10 hours to get the players ready to help them recover, and help them get it in this stressful period.

“That’s why, go with your families, if the sun is shining, play golf, do whatever you want and go to the quality to prepare for the finals. You have to train a little but exactly what we need to arrive in the best conditions for the final, they know.

“Everybody knows what position we are in. It comes once in a lifetime, twice in a lifetime?

“Being champions in the Premier League three games before the end and play two finals – that doesn’t come every season. Once we are there, first of all you have to relax and enjoy and do your best. No one can be sure we will be in that position again.”
