Pep Guardiola makes plea as Man City Christmas tradition is broken: 'It is our job' Pep Guardiola has opened up on a Manchester City tradition that has been broken this year amid the club’s poor run of form.
With the Spaniard calling on his players to give it their all over the festive period in an attempt to turn around their dire form, Kyle Walker has revealed City boss has called the squad in to train on Christmas Day.
Now 12 points behind league leaders Liverpool, it’s almost certain Guardiola’s side will not be crowned champions of England for a fifth year in a row as the target must surely be to ensure a top-four finish and Champions League qualification.
Going into further detail with regards to training plans on Christmas Day, Guardiola issued a rallying cry to his players demanding total commitment.
“We train today and we train tomorrow night, and then we stay here and then play on Boxing Day,” he said in the pre-match press conference.
