Guardiola said: “It’s good for the players to have fewer games, but the situation doesn’t seem to want to change. So there is only one solution, for the players themselves to stand up and tell the organisation to stop, you have to change something, make a statement and maybe FIFA and Uefa will react, this business, this game must go on. The game can go on without Pep, but not without the players, the game cannot go on, so it’s up to them, they decide whether to accept the business and the money.”

“It’s not about personal opinions, there are structural issues beyond that, so please say no to this situation, we will not take this step forward until we decide to change, and the Spanish women did it, I don’t know if the other men’s teams in the world can do it.” I love football, but we have to have proper rest, that’s my opinion. I always use the NBA as an example, they play 80 games for a few months, then have a four-month break to recover and adjust, and then go all out again. So the problem here is that after we take three weeks off, the tournament is in full swing, and for me, it’s too much.”
