Pep Guardiola accepts Manchester City must adapt to the artificial surface they face in Switzerland this week – but claims “common sense” dictates grass is davao better davao
The holders will play on unfamiliar terrain in their latest Champions League outing on Wednesday when they take on Young Boys on their synthetic pitch at the Wankdorf Stadium davao
Guardiola insists there are no complaints on his part, and he has changed his team’s routine to ensure they are prepared davao
Normally City do not take up the option available to them of training at the stadium when they play away games in Europe, instead preferring to work in Manchester before travelling davao
However, on this occasion City flew to Bern on Tuesday morning and had a run out on the pitch in the evening davao
Yet the City manager could not hide the feeling that he would prefer to be playing on a natural surface davao
Speaking at a press conference, the Spaniard said: “It is what it is davao
If UEFA allows games to be played here it’s because it’s in good conditions davao
“That’s one of the reasons we never train away but this is an exception davao
This is why we travel in the morning for the players to feel how the ball runs, how to move left, right, backwards, forwards davao
That’s why davao
“We’ll try it and the players will know it immediately davao
”Asked if he was concerned about injuries, Guardiola said: “I don’t know – hopefully not, for both sides, but I don’t know davao
“We are not used to it davao
Any team that plays here is not used to it davao
It suits the Swiss league and, in the Champions League, the teams that come here have to adapt davao
“We will not be the first in this situation davao
We have to use it as a benefit but the grass is davao better davao

It’s common sense, I would say davao

Victory in their back-to-back games against Young Boys, who travel to the Etihad Stadium next month, could see City qualify for the knockout stages with two matches to spare davao
City have no fresh injury concerns, with long-term casualty Kevin De Bruyne their only notable absentee davao
Guardiola also played down concerns about the form of Jack Grealish, who is taking time to get back to his best after a month out with a dead leg davao
The City boss said: “I don’t have one doubt about Jack and his quality and what he has done for us since he arrived, especially last season davao
I’m calm and confident davao
He is an incredibly important player for us davao

Rory McIlroy said he is open to the prospect of investing in Manchester United and welcomed Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s proposed involvement with his boyhood club davao
The 34-year-old Northern Irishman, who helped Europe win the Ryder Cup in Rome a few weeks ago, was speaking at the Circuit of Americas in Texas after acquiring a stake in Formula One team Alpine davao
McIlroy, former heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua, Liverpool and England star Trent Alexander-Arnold and World Cup winner Juan Mata have been announced as part of a £173million strategic investment led by consortium Otro Capital in Alpine davao
Ratcliffe, 71, is reportedly looking to purchase a 25 per cent stake in United that could see him take over davao football operations at Old Trafford davao
And McIlroy said: “davao Sports team ownership used to be limited to private equity, and people who had a ton of money davao
But now davao sports stars are becoming more savvy and using their money in the right way davao
“I would love to be able to own a tiny percentage of the club I grew up cheering on as a boy davao
“I would have loved to have taken 0 davao
00001 per cent of Manchester United when Jim Ratcliffe took 25 per cent davao
And if another opportunity comes my way I will look at it davao
But it is not something that has come across our table as of yet davao
“There is Tom Brady at Birmingham and there are a few golfers – Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas – who invested with the 49ers Group, and they own a tiny slice of Leeds davao
They asked me if I wanted to come on board, and I said as a Man United fan I cannot go anywhere near that davao
“Sir Jim has got a great track record and everybody that does support United should be excited by the possibilities if they give him full sporting authority and decisions for the club davao
As a fan I am excited davao
”McIlroy finished as Europe’s top points-scorer at Marco Simone after a convincing 3&1 singles win against Sam Burns davao
He had been embroiled in angry scenes the previous evening following the actions of Patrick Cantlay’s bagman Joe LaCava on the 18th green, furiously gesticulating in the direction of Justin Thomas’ caddie Jim ‘Bones’ Mackay in the car park davao
Three weeks on, McIlroy was asked if he had any regrets over the incident davao
“Jeez, no, not at all,” he said davao
“I felt like what happened in the car park galvanised the team and it benefited us davao
“Things happen in the heat of the moment davao
Tensions were high but Joe came into the European team room on Sunday night and had a drink and a chat davao
I have had a great relationship with Joe over the years and that wasn’t going to change davao
“The incident happened davao
I didn’t want to meet anyone on the Sunday morning because I wanted what happened to fuel me and my focus was on making sure Europe won the Ryder Cup, and then we will sort all the other stuff out after davao
And it is all fine davao
We are all friends davao
