Live Bar, August 11 news recently, Manchester City coach Guadiola expressed his dissatisfaction with the long match time in an interview. He suggested that football matches could learn from the method of stopping watch timing in basketball matches.
Last weekend, Manchester City played a Community Shield match against Arsenal for a total of 106 minutes. Manchester City became the focus of the debate on new rules to increase the time to make up time, guadiola suggested using the method of basketball stop watch timing to solve the problem of wasting time.
Guadiola is worried about this kind of casual practice, he said: “If you want to control it, just like a basketball game, stop watch timing. Why does the game last eight minutes (longer) instead of twelve or four minutes? We play 105 or 110 minutes in almost every game.”
“I will protect my players. When there is an international match day, they will enter the national team. They will play 60 or 70 games, but only two to three weeks of rest, which is not enough. If the situation does not change, things will only get worse.”
“A lot of players asked me and gave me a few more days off, but I said I couldn’t, we had to go to Asia (tour) because the club paid our salary.”
Manchester City returned to the arena early in the Community Shield match against Arsenal, and Guadiola admitted that it would have an impact on their start of the season.
“I don’t know how we can last for 11 months. I have done such a thing in Barcelona a long time ago, but the requirements of La Liga are not so high. I don’t know what will happen. I said to the players, don’t think about it-we stood at the peak last season, which may only be once in a lifetime.”
