The head coach of Manchester City is not happy with the fact that England's coaching staff used the defender John Stones in friendly matches.

The Stones pulled a hamstring in the game of the 12th round of the Premier League against Leicester (2-0). Now the defender will miss 4-6 weeks. Thus, John will not play against the Miner.

"Previously, he played in international friendly matches, the body is the body," - said Guardiola, placing emphasis on the word "comradely".

"Look at the calendar - we demand a lot from players. FIFA demands a lot. Players can not stand ".

However, Josep did not openly criticize the English team.

"I understand Gareth Southgate. He prepares the team for the World Cup. He is a coach, he has to make decisions. And it is clear that he did it out of the best motives ".

In the 5th round of the Champions League, Manchester City will play at home against Feyenoord. Pep promised personnel changes.

"You play 90 minutes, 90 minutes, 90 minutes, then you go to the national team - and twice more for 90 minutes in games that do not mean anything in the tournament plan. It happens. Therefore, I will use rotation, because not many players are able to sustain such a pace ".

Nevertheless, Feyenoordu should not hope for the relaxation of "citizens".

"We want to win the group. I will demand victory from my players ".

Earlier, the head coach of Manchester United Jose Mourinho expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that the England team used defender Phil Jones, despite the fact that the player had an untreated injury.

Match Man City - Feyenoord will be held on Tuesday, November 21. The beginning - at 21:45 Kiev time.
