Anyone who’s been keeping a close eye on the pre-season build-up at the Etihad will fear worse is to come
Spurs away is a tricky game at any stage of the season, but unfortunately for City, it doesn’t get much easier.Guardiola suggested that his team will be in better shape by the time those games comes around, but vast improvements in August should not be expected.
“It happened last season when we went to Wolves [in the opening fixture], we played 60-65 minutes so good and the last 20-25 we were exhausted, and then we lost 5-2 against Leicester at home in the Premier League,” he added. This monster tally of games came in a season where the schedule was pushed to its absolute limit, almost every week had at least two games.A large portion of the squad was then called up by their national teams for the Copa America and Euro 2020 tournaments.
Tottenham striker Harry Kane, for example, was expected back a week sooner than his England teammates Raheem Sterling, John Stones and Kyle Walker. The long break was understandable in some regards. Whereas normally long-haul travel and commercial commitments have to be blended with the process of getting players ready for the new season, this year it was all about fitness.
