Guardiola and his players expressed frustration with the scheduling, particularly after their match against Real. Stones’ discomfort led to his substitution, with complaints from players like Bernardo Silva about their physical condition. They directed blame at the FA and broadcasters for not allowing adequate rest before their next match, as well as questioning why they couldn’t play a day later for extra recovery time.

Guardiola emphasized the physical toll on the players and recommended spending time with their families to rest. There is a call for consideration of player welfare, but doubts linger as to whether the situation will change. Silva expressed disappointment that past complaints seem to have been ignored.

The overall sentiment is a plea for attention to the details affecting players’ well-being.
