What the managers are saying

Claude Puel (Leicester City): “Our last game against City was encouraging, about our mentality, about our play and possibility.“We lost on the lottery of penalties, we didn’t manage very well this exercise, I know. On the pitch it was interesting.”Pep Guardiola (Manchester City):“We have to train before an official game. The players know they are in England. In Germany and most other leagues they stop the leagues.“If we played the 27th then the 25th would have been the day off, but the 26th means we train on the 25th, that’s normal.”
