Press Conference: Pep Guardiola on Aguero, De Bruyne, Gundogan's tweet EFL Cup and more

Manchester City are set to face Tottenham in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday. Ahead of the match head coach Pep Guardiola has talked to the press providing latest injury updates, reacting to Ilkay Gundogan's tweet and more. On Sergio Aguero and Kevin De Bruyne: "Both [ready], they trained today. Today was the first training session in two weeks (for Aguero). Tomorrow we have the last training session and we decide." On Carabao Cup and playing in the final: "We deserve to be here, we've had a tough competition, especially the semi finals. The final, every team wants to win. We travel to London on Saturday to do a good game and try to win. "Definitely, it's a final. The Champions League is close, the Premier League is not over. The two other competitions we have an eye on, Tottenham it will be first title in years and their commitment will be extraordinary as will their quality. Of course it's a final. Once we are there, every player wants to win and we're not an exception. "When we start we say many times, every game must be taken seriously. The PL is the most important, after the CL or Europa, then FA Cup then Carabao. At the start of the season it's perfect to rotate and is over quickly, this season you play in the middle of the season. I would say the PL is the first title of the season, then the CL to qualify is the second title. "The third is Europe, then FA Cup, then after Carabao. Normally it's over for a long time, now we play at an important time of the season, it's a mix of contradiction that it's a final but one eye is on the CL and Crystal Palace. Carbao is nice, we play to win the title, but PSG is there, one eye on that. We see what happens on Sunday." On Champions League reforms: "Everytime is the same, all the world football is asking the better quality and the football world wants quantity. We are not incharge. We have to ask UEFA, FIFA to extend the year. Maybe we can find 400 days a year. I don't know, honestly." On Super League effect and Jose Mourinho sacking: "The Villa game showed we were ready and we'll be ready on Sunday The new manager Ryan, we looked against Southampton, they way they play. When it happens we focus on what we have to do." Reaction to Gundogan's tweet: "I'm not an expert in the format. The people who produce the calendar to recover the players, they do the opposite because it's their business. I'm not the guy to tell them. Premier League, UEFA, FIFA, we give our opinion, after that we can't do anything. If they decide ten more games then ten more games. The show must go on. My business is to prepare the players. If the world cup play 56 teams they play 56 teams." Source- Manchester Evening News Join us on Telegram!/ Follow us on Twitter!
