Manchester City's leader and midfielder Rodri recently hinted at a potential player strike due to dissatisfaction with the overloaded match schedule. The Citizens' coach Pep Guardiola commented on his ward's words, saying that the responsibility lies with the players themselves, as they can initiate changes.
Josep Guardiola"I agree with the journalists, perhaps for the first time, that many of the players' voices are coming out. I'm pretty sure that if something is going to change, it has to come from the players; they are the only ones who can affect change. Football can function without managers, sporting directors, media and owners, but it cannot exist without players - they are the only ones who have the power.
They have made such a difficult schedule to customize the game and make it more attractive. That's why many players around the world, not just Rodri, are starting to speak out. We'll see," Pep was quoted as saying by the Manchester Evening News.
