Oscar Bobb, Savinho, Kevin de Bruyne, Jeremy Doku, Grealish, Kyle Walker… An overview.
In his remarks yesterday, the one from Santpedor compared the situation of his team (this is also the case of others) with what the NBA is experiencing, but made an important nuance: “It is what it is and we have to manage In the past seasons, we have played a lot, maybe when we go to the final stages of the competition, we will play more than 70 games, but the NBA has four month off and we have three weeks.
Guardiola affirms that this does not come from now: “Because it’s not this season, it comes from the previous season, the previous season, the previous season… When that happens, you have injuries for a long time.” The coach praised the players who make an extra effort at times like this, especially highlighting Manuel Akanji and Nathan Aké: “They were not at their best physically and they made an incredible sacrifice to get here.”
