Head coach of Manchester City Josep Guardiola believes that the English referees allow players on the field too much.

According to the 47-year-old specialist, he understands when some coaches use aggressive football tactics against their rivals, however, in his opinion, sometimes the rude actions of players on the field are not stopped by the judges.

"When I moved to the Premier League, I was surprised by the local referees," - began Guardiola.

"Players and teams can play as they please, and here is the question to the referee.

If the coach is convinced that you need to play very aggressively against an opponent - let him, but the judge must decide whether such actions are normal and whether they are within the rules of ".

"We accept this challenge. If we did not accept it, we would never be where we are now. However, sometimes I'm surprised that judges allow players to so aggressively engage in fighting. I need to get used to it. I hope next season I will take it more calmly, "said Pep.

Recall that earlier in the fight of the FA Cup a rough foul on the part of the Cardiff player caused a serious injury to midfielder City Leroy Sana.
