Club team World Championship has sparked debate about the players' lack of season break. Now, Pep Guardiola – whose Manchester City has advanced to the round of 16 against Al Hilal – means that the tournament can disrupt the team's chances in the upcoming season of Premier League.
We'll see what happens after the final. We will rest if Premier League allows us. In November, December, January maybe it's a disaster, we are exhausted and Club team World Championship has ruined us, he says to Sky Sports.
He is not alone. Jürgen Klopp recently said that the tournament is "the worst idea implemented in football" and Thomas Tuchel meant that Manchester City's and Chelsea's participation can give Liverpool and Arsenal "great advantages" in the title fight.
