Guardiola: I wanted to rotate 11 people today, but there were not enough people

The match between Manchester City and Leverkusen is ongoing. Guardiola accepted an interview with TNT Sports before the game.

Guardiola said: "I originally wanted to rotate 11 players, but there are currently not enough players to achieve this. We have to deal with it together, we have a dense schedule, we need to stay active, and every player has to participate. This is why they can become Manchester City players, they are all very good players."

"Many of them have to play for the national team and are top players. We have a heavy workload in the game. He returned to the team late after the game against Newcastle. This is a good opportunity to take a key step towards advancing to the next round. "There is no criticism, he performed very well. He is very aggressive and keeps trying. It is a pleasure to train and play with them, and it is a pleasant decision to send them out today."
