“Footballers are losing the joy of playing”

Pep Guardiola is unhappy with how the season is going. Beyond results or classifications, the Catalan coach is not at all satisfied with the calendar and organization of this season. So much so that, he says, he is losing the joy of playing even if they win 5-0 as his team did this Saturday against Burnley.

“The problem today is that players lose the joy of playing football. Before, it was great to play once a week with the public. Now it is one every three days. We will travel to Porto to win and then to prepare to play against Fulham, “said the City manager.

This weekend, City came back like a whirlwind to pass Sam Dyche's Burnley 5-0 with a hat-trick by Riyad Mahrez, Benjamin Mendy and Ferrán Torres as much.

With this victory, the Mancunians are eighth in the table waiting for what happens in the rest of the day. Guardiola's men regain sensations and need 'that joy' to fight for the title again. After yesterday's draw, Liverpool are leaders and City are only six points behind.
