With a 3-0 victory over Urawa Red Diamonds, Manchester City secured their spot in the Club World Cup final. Following the match, Pep Guardiola said he will start a strong lineup on Friday.
The Premier League winners, Fluminense of Brazil, are strong favorites, but head coach Pep Guardiola, 52, will try to win with his best players.
“The plan is to sleep, sleep, and sleep,” he declared. This is our strategy. We must now take a nap. They still had the day ahead of them.
We’ll take the day off, get together for dinner, and establish an atmosphere where the players understand their importance to the team.
“To be in this final you must do incredible things like win the Champions League.
“We might only get to play this once in our lifetime. There we are.
The former Barcelona manager selected a potent squad to take on Urawa Red Diamonds because he is not taking the assignment lightly in Saudi Arabia.
