Pep Guardiola commented on Rodri's remarks about a potential players' strike

Manchester City leader and midfielder Rodri recently hinted at a potential players' strike due to dissatisfaction with the congested fixture schedule.

Details: City manager Pep Guardiola commented on his player's remarks, stating that the responsibility lies with the players themselves, as they are the ones who can instigate change.

Quote: "I agree with you, perhaps for the first time, that many voices are speaking up for the players. I am almost certain that if anything is to change, it must come from the players; they are the only ones who can effect change. The business can function without managers, sporting directors, media, and owners, but it cannot exist without players. They are the only ones with the power.

I am also very busy; they did this to adjust the game and make it more appealing. That’s why many players around the world, not just Rodri, are starting to speak out. We will see," Guardiola stated.

Reminder: Barcelona central defender Jules Koundé remarked ahead of the UEFA Champions League matches that there will come a time when players must announce a strike to ensure they are heard.
