Guardiola, desperate: he misses Rodri and promotes squads of 45 or 50! players

Pep Guardiolacoach of Manchester City, He made sure of that on his return Rodrigo Hernandez after his injury they will be strong again, winning just one of the last ten games, and he advocates for squads of “45 or 50 players”.

The Spanish coach is experiencing his worst period since he started training and the city has seen its competition for the title of Premier League and put qualification to the next round of the Champions League in jeopardy. One of the reasons for the bad streak the ‘Sky Blues’ are going through is the plague of injuries, especially to Rodri, who tore his cruciate ligament in September.

“If we need players we will go to the transfer market, but I don’t know what there will be. Rodri It’s a Ballon d’Or We’re playing without the best player in the world last season. That’s the problem,” he said. Guardiola this Friday in a press conference.

“No other team plays without a player who won the Ballon d’Or. When he comes back, we will be strong again, we will be a good team again. We keep trying to play and win in the same way and sooner or later we will be back” added the Spanish coach.

“I don’t know what we have to do, but I need players. We have three defenders now and maybe some winger has to be a winger or maybe we have to play with five at the back. We have to think what to do, but the soul and spirit of the team remains there. I feel sorry for the players and I understand that the group of players has done incredible things that no one else has achieved. I just wish to fans who are there until late,” he said.

Guardiola He made sure they had more injuries than before and started to think maybe 45/50 player squads were needed.

“It will be a more expensive summer, but maybe we need squads this big. In the end, the calendar is the problem. The problem is not the physios, the doctors or the players.”
