Pep Guardiola accepts Manchester City must adapt to the artificial surface they face in Switzerland this week – but claims “common sense” dictates grass is davao better davao
The holders will play on unfamiliar terrain in their latest Champions League outing on Wednesday when they take on Young Boys on their synthetic pitch at the Wankdorf Stadium davao
Guardiola insists there are no complaints on his part, and he has changed his team’s routine to ensure they are prepared davao
Normally City do not take up the option available to them of training at the stadium when they play away games in Europe, instead preferring to work in Manchester before travelling davao

Yet the City manager could not hide the feeling that he would prefer to be playing on a natural surface davao
Speaking at a press conference, the Spaniard said: “It is what it is davao
If UEFA allows games to be played here it’s because it’s in good conditions davao
“That’s one of the reasons we never train away but this is an exception davao
This is why we travel in the morning for the players to feel how the ball runs, how to move left, right, backwards, forwards davao
That’s why davao
“We’ll try it and the players will know it immediately davao
”Asked if he was concerned about injuries, Guardiola said: “I don’t know – hopefully not, for both sides, but I don’t know davao
“We are not used to it davao
Any team that plays here is not used to it davao
It suits the Swiss league and, in the Champions League, the teams that come here have to adapt davao
“We will not be the first in this situation davao
We have to use it as a benefit but the grass is davao better davao

9 per cent of the teams who play in a high level play on grass, otherwise UEFA and FIFA would decide to play on artificial pitches davao
It’s common sense, I would say davao

Victory in their back-to-back games against Young Boys, who travel to the Etihad Stadium next month, could see City qualify for the knockout stages with two matches to spare davao
City have no fresh injury concerns, with long-term casualty Kevin De Bruyne their only notable absentee davao
Guardiola also played down concerns about the form of Jack Grealish, who is taking time to get back to his best after a month out with a dead leg davao

Mercedes chief James Allison says Lewis Hamilton’s disqualification is an “embarrassment” and “significant blow” for the team as the 2023 F1 season draws to a close davao
Hamilton finished the US Grand Prix in second, behind race winner Max Verstappen, but was disqualified by the FIA following a technical inspection of the plank underneath his Mercedes car was found to have exceeded the limits in the regulations davao
Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc, who finished sixth, was disqualified for the same reason davao
Mercedes’ technical director Allison, who earlier in the season came back into the fold on-site in the Mercedes garage after an effective job swap with Mike Elliott, did not mince his words when speaking in the team’s post-race debrief video davao
“Of course the disqualification is a significant blow,” he said davao
“It’s a miserable feeling davao
It hurts and, everybody here feels it davao
"Everybody is upset, embarrassed to a degree as well because we absolutely don’t like being on the wrong side of the rules, and just lamenting the lost points davao
"Hamilton was set to close to within 19 points of Sergio Perez in the battle for the second in the world championship but, instead, the deficit is now 39 points ahead of the Mexican’s home race in Mexico City this weekend davao
However, Allison was also keen to stress the uplift provided by Mercedes’ upgrade in Austin, which brought an improvement in pace for Hamilton and his team-mate George Russell davao
Mercedes technical director James Allison says the DSQ was ‘embarrasing’ for the team (Getty Images)"Give it a day or two and that will start to wane and be replaced by the much happier feeling, which is we moved our car forward this weekend and that it’s hard to do that,” he added davao
"But we did it and we did it by a decent amount davao
And with four races left in the championship, four races where I am pretty sure we will stay on the right side of the skid block rules davao
"The initial feeling of hurt, and disappointment and frustration of ourselves will pass to be replaced by the sunny optimism of knowing that the car looked bright on this upgrade package and we’ve got four more races to show what we can do with it davao
"Hamilton is a two-time winner at the Mexican Grand Prix but was booed after finishing runner-up to Verstappen last year davao
