Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has rubbished the “bullsh*t” claims that Manchester City struggle physically at the start of seasons.

“I never believe about the training conditions. When you lose, people say the physicality is not good, that is bullsh*t,” Guardiola told a press conference.

“My team we arrive in the end of the season we know we can lose games and the situation will be over. In October, November you cannot have that feeling especially when you win back to back championships.

“The first season we made 100 points we start like every game is a final, every game is final. Now we don’t have that. Last few months that is the truth, in the FA Cup, Carabao Cup, Champions League.

“To arrive in this decisive part of the league to have that chance in your hands. It depends on them the destiny will be in their hands but if we win the destiny will be in our hands.”
