Guardiola frustrated with MU, Tottenham

Guardiola believes that the Premier League organizers are biased towards MU and Tottenham.

At the same time, Man City has to compete at a high frequency before the FA Cup final against Crystal Palace on the evening of May 17 ( Hanoi time).

"Tottenham and MU played on Friday before the Europa League final. It was a good decision, I'm not being sarcastic," Pep emphasized. "But when we play the Champions League quarter-finals or semi-finals away on Wednesday, we have to play on Saturday. And this season, when we don't have those games, we have to play on Sunday, even though we don't need an extra day off."

The Spanish coach was frustrated when Man City had to host Bournemouth on Tuesday night, just two days after the FA Cup final. In the context that "The Citizens" need points to secure a top 5 place and a ticket to next season's Champions League, Pep said his team was not treated fairly.

"We didn't ask for a change, but obviously I would have preferred to play on Wednesday," said Pep. "We had to play Bournemouth, a very physical team, very direct, fighting for a European place. But they put us on Tuesday. For nine years we have faced situations like this and we have never been favoured."

However, Guardiola insists he and his players will not let the difficulties affect their goal of winning. The FA Cup final is a confrontation between Crystal Palace dreaming of their first major trophy in history, and Man City desperate to avoid a trophyless season.

Meanwhile, MU and Tottenham have both run out of motivation in the Premier League. In the early morning of May 17, both lost to Chelsea and Aston Villa, respectively, thereby continuing to sink in 16th and 17th place on the rankings.
