Pep Guardiola expressed discontent regarding the scheduling of Manchester City's upcoming match against Bournemouth, which is set for Tuesday, just days after the FA Cup final. He believes playing on Wednesday would allow his players more recovery time. The manager highlighted the physical demands of facing Bournemouth, a team vying for European qualification. He contrasted City's situation with Tottenham Hotspur's match, which was rescheduled to accommodate their Europa League final, implying a need for fairer treatment in fixture planning.
"I would prefer to play Wednesday, definitely. It will be tough. We have been nine years fighting against these situations, every single season and nothing goes."
"So we have to deal with that. Tottenham Hotspur play against Aston Villa on Friday ahead of the Europa League final. Good decision, I'm not being sarcastic."
