Manchester City manager Josep Guardiola has tried out new sporting director Hugo Viana, saying that if the 2025 summer transfer window is still full of players. He may consider giving up his position.

City have 28 senior players this season, หากคุณสนใจเล่นพนันออนไลน์ที่ดีที่สุด สามารถสมัครสมาชิก UFABET ได้ที่นี่ พร้อมรับโปรโมชั่นพิเศษสำหรับสมาชิกใหม่ which Guardiola believes is too much. Because the Premier League only sends 20 players per match. 

In addition to being an obstacle to inadequate training, those who don’t compete often spoil the atmosphere in the team and limit the chances of academy players to advance. 

So I leave the homework to the new director who will replace Txiki Begiristain to sort this out.

“I’ve told the club I don’t want a big senior squad. I don’t want to have five or six players on the bench. I don’t want to do that. He say after beating Bournemouth 3-1 to return to the Champions League places on the table. 

“If I can’t do it, I’m out! Reduce the size of the first team and I’ll stay.” 

“Last season, there were maybe three or four months where we couldn’t pick the best starting eleven. We were short on defense, so that made it difficult.”

“Then it will gradually recover, but next season, let’s not let it be the same again.” 

“As a manager, I can’t train 24 players all the time.”

“I had to cut four or six players to stay at home in Manchester because they wouldn’t be able to play anyway.” 

“This kind of thing must not happen again. I have informed the club. I don’t want this kind of thing.”  

“Do you think there will be more people moving out? That’s something you have to ask the club about.”

“I don’t need 24, 25 or 26 first-team players when they are all fit, but if there is an injury it’s just bad luck. But we have good players from the academy and we can do that.”  

The number of players that Guardiola wants is 20 senior players . If there are any shortfalls, they will be drawn from the academy or the U -21  team.
