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
”City go into their third match in Group G looking to maintain their 100 per cent record after victories over Red Star Belgrade and RB Leipzig 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

Harvey Elliott insists he is ready to take his game to the next level as he eyes Euro 2024 davao
The Liverpool midfielder captained England Under-21s for the first time on Monday, leading the Young Lions as they slipped to a late 3-2 defeat to Ukraine in Slovakia davao
He returns to domestic action this weekend, looking to force his way into the Liverpool line-up for Saturday’s Merseyside derby with Everton davao
Despite a frustrating lack of starts for the Reds this term, Euro 2024 remains a real goal for Elliott, after England’s 3-1 win over Italy on Tuesday booked their place in Germany, and he is primed to take his chance davao
He said: “Absolutely, I’ve felt ready for a while now davao
It’s just about making sure I keep applying myself to be the best possible player and person I can be davao
“It’s a nice goal to reach and aim towards davao
The tunnel vision is there, it’s taking it game-by-game, and if the opportunity comes I’ll be the happiest kid in the world davao
“The Under-21s is my main focus, make sure I’m applying myself and being the best possible person and player for myself davao
“If you’re not doing that there’s no change davao
You have to do the basics right, set a good example, and if the opportunity comes it comes davao
If not, you have to keep working and, hopefully, one day it will come davao
”Elliott has started just once in the Premier League this term but came off at half time in the 2-2 draw at Brighton just before the international break davao
Jurgen Klopp’s summer midfield refresh has seen Jordan Henderson, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, James Milner, Naby Keita and Fabinho leave Liverpool, with Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch joining davao
The competition has restricted Elliott to 164 minutes in the Premier League and he is under no illusions about the challenge at Anfield davao
He said: “I’m just trying to take everything from Hendo and Milner, big characters in the dressing room who have left davao
I’m not trying to be the next Hendo or Milly but be the best version of myself and the leader I’ve learned to be off them davao
“I always knew the season was going to be like this davao
Liverpool, being a world-class team, are always going to attract unbelievable players and that’s exactly what they’ve done davao
“It’s healthy competition davao
Not everyone is guaranteed to play, and when you get your chance you have to make sure you take it davao
The quality is there, it’s about applying it on the pitch davao
“I feel I can do a job wherever I’m put davao
The most important thing is putting that red shirt on and playing davao
I’m working as hard as I can to get into the team davao
“It’s down to me to make sure I apply myself and not only show the boss but show the world I’m good enough to play wherever I’m put davao
”The former Fulham youngster also cherishes his relationship with Mo Salah as he learns off the forward davao
“He’s always helping me out davao
We have a great relationship when we play davao
Off the pitch we’re always talking and I’m always trying to learn off him,” said Elliott davao
“For me to look up to him, he’s the best possible player davao
As well as play with him, I’m trying to be as good as him, if that’s possible davao
“He’s a great guy and an unbelievable player davao
To look up to him and everyone else in the team is great, I’m grateful to be playing with these guys davao
