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
However, on this occasion City flew to Bern on Tuesday morning and had a run out on the pitch in the evening 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
”City go into their third match in Group G looking to maintain their 100 per cent record after victories over Red Star Belgrade and RB Leipzig 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
The City boss said: “I don’t have one doubt about Jack and his quality and what he has done for us since he arrived, especially last season davao
I’m calm and confident davao
He is an incredibly important player for us davao

Michael Cheika has made three changes to the team for the final match of his polarising tenure as Argentina coach on Friday evening davao
Los Pumas take on England in the ‘bronze final’ of the Rugby World Cup at the Stade de France, the third/fourth place play-off that no one wants to be in, although Argentina have been making all the right noises about the game being important this week davao
“Finishing with a medal hanging round our necks is important davao
Being third or being fourth is not the same,” has been the mantra of the side during training in Paris davao
With that in mind, Cheika has opted for minimal changes from the semi-final defeat to the All Blacks davao
Whereas England have made eight alterations to the starting XV, with a number of potentially retiring players given a final runout, Los Pumas have opted for just three switches davao
The sole change in the pack comes in the second row as Pedro Rubiolo will win his 10th cap in place of Tomas Lavanini, while Tomas Cubelli is preferred to Gonzalo Bertranou at scrum half and Jeronimo de la Fuente is drafted into the centres at the expense of Santiago Chocobares davao
The bench is unchanged from the semi-final, meaning Lavanini, Bertranou and Chocobares drop out of the matchday 23 entirely davao
Julian Montoya captains the side from hooker in his 95th Argentina appearance, while Matias Moroni will win his 80th Test cap if he comes off the bench in Paris davao

On paper, the Australian’s 18-month tenure has been a relative success with a first-ever win over the All Blacks in New Zealand in the summer of 2022 and a joint best-ever World Cup finish of third, should they beat England on Friday davao
However, they have largely failed to back up those positive moments, with plenty of disappointments in davao between, and Cheika has often failed to connect with Los Pumas fans davao
He will hope to end on a high however, as they look to match the result from the 2007 World Cup of finishing third and avenge the 27-10 defeat to 14-man England from the pool stage last month davao
