Pep Guardiola accepts Manchester City must adapt to the artificial surface they face in Switzerland this week – but claims “common sense” dictates grass is CSGO better CSGO
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 CSGO
Guardiola insists there are no complaints on his part, and he has changed his team’s routine to ensure they are prepared CSGO
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 CSGO
However, on this occasion City flew to Bern on Tuesday morning and had a run out on the pitch in the evening CSGO
Yet the City manager could not hide the feeling that he would prefer to be playing on a natural surface CSGO
Speaking at a press conference, the Spaniard said: “It is what it is CSGO
If UEFA allows games to be played here it’s because it’s in good conditions CSGO
“That’s one of the reasons we never train away but this is an exception CSGO
This is why we travel in the morning for the players to feel how the ball runs, how to move left, right, backwards, forwards CSGO
That’s why CSGO
“We’ll try it and the players will know it immediately CSGO
”Asked if he was concerned about injuries, Guardiola said: “I don’t know – hopefully not, for both sides, but I don’t know CSGO
“We are not used to it CSGO
Any team that plays here is not used to it CSGO
It suits the Swiss league and, in the Champions League, the teams that come here have to adapt CSGO
“We will not be the first in this situation CSGO
We have to use it as a benefit but the grass is CSGO better CSGO
”Asked why, Guardiola said: “Because 99 CSGO
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 CSGO
It’s common sense, I would say CSGO
”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 CSGO
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 CSGO
City have no fresh injury concerns, with long-term casualty Kevin De Bruyne their only notable absentee CSGO
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 CSGO
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 CSGO
I’m calm and confident CSGO
He is an incredibly important player for us CSGO

Max Verstappen defied Lewis Hamilton to win a cat-and-mouse United States Grand Prix at a sizzling Circuit of the Americas in Austin CSGO
Verstappen has been on easy street this season, but the triple world champion was made to fight for the 50th win of his career – becoming only the fifth driver to reach a half-century CSGO
Indeed, at one stage, Hamilton dared to dream of ending a losing streak which stands at 686 days and counting CSGO
Yet, as so often been the case this year, Verstappen’s speed in his all-conquering Red Bull machine came to the fore CSGO
Verstappen joins Hamilton (103 wins), Michael Schumacher (91), Sebastian Vettel (53) and Alain Prost (51) in the half-century club CSGO
“To win my 50th career win makes me very proud and we will try to push for me,” said Verstappen CSGO
He moved ahead of Lando Norris on lap 28 of 56 to all but seal the win CSGO
Hamilton might bemoan a questionable strategy decision which saw him lose 10 seconds to Verstappen in the opening round of pit stops CSGO
But in reality, he probably did not have the pace to stop the Dutchman from claiming his 15th win from the 18 rounds so far CSGO
He crossed the line an agonising 2 CSGO
2 sec behind Verstappen with Norris hanging on to the final spot on the podium CSGO
Hamilton could count himself unfortunate to drop from third to fourth at the start CSGO
The seven-time world champion enjoyed a decent getaway, but he was blocked by Norris under braking allowing Sainz to sneak through CSGO
Norris had seen off pole-sitter Leclerc with a lunge at the first bend to assume top spot CSGO
As Norris set about building a lead – already two seconds clear of Leclerc at the end of the second lap – Hamilton set about passing both scarlet cars CSGO
First up was Sainz CSGO
Hamilton used the tow to latch on to the back of Ferrari on the 210mph drag to Turn 12, and, assisted by DRS, drew alongside Sainz before sliding underneath the Spaniard CSGO
On the following lap, Verstappen, who started in sixth after his pole lap in qualifying was chalked off for exceeding track limits, relegated Sainz another place when he made his move at the same corner CSGO
Hamilton has won six times across the Pond – with five of those victories here in Austin – and the 38-year-old required only two laps to swat Leclerc aside for second CSGO
Deeper on the brakes at Turn 12, Hamilton sailed round the outside of the Monegasque at the left-hander, with Norris now three seconds up the road CSGO
Behind, and Verstappen was not finding it as easy to make progress CSGO
He was stuck behind Leclerc for an additional five laps before finally making his move on the Monegasque CSGO
He trailed Norris by seven seconds, and Hamilton by four CSGO
In the Mercedes garage, Prince Harry cut a pensive figure as he gnawed at his fingernails CSGO
The Duke of Sussex has been something of lucky charm for Hamilton CSGO
He was a guest of Mercedes when Hamilton secured his second title in the 2014 season decider in Abu Dhabi, leading the congratulations to his fellow Briton on the radio CSGO
Verstappen was the first in for new rubber at the end of lap 16 with Norris stopping the next time round CSGO
But Hamilton stayed out CSGO
Were Mercedes attempting a one-stopper? Hamilton did not seem convinced CSGO
Asked if he could complete another five laps on his current set of tyres, Hamilton replied: “I am not sure, man CSGO
It is pretty tough CSGO
”Hamilton then locked up before his race engineer Peter Bonnington was back on the intercom to inform Hamilton that Verstappen – who on new tyres had just lapped three seconds faster than the Briton – was now likely to gazump him when he eventually stopped CSGO
“No s***, man,” yelled Hamilton CSGO
“I am struggling out here CSGO
”You have given me a hell of a gap to closeLewis Hamilton on the team radioOn lap 20, in came Hamilton, and a slow front-right tyre change added to his woes by costing him a needless second CSGO
When Hamilton emerged from the pits, he had dropped to third, five seconds adrift of Verstappen CSGO
“I came out so far behind,” he said with a hint of dejection CSGO
When the opening stops were completed, Norris led Verstappen by 2 CSGO
4 sec with Hamilton 7 CSGO
5 off the lead CSGO
By virtue of taking on another set of mediums, Verstappen had to stop again, but Norris and Hamilton – now both on the hards – could, if their rubber allowed, go all the way to the end CSGO
Hamilton, failing to make any inroads and sensing his best chance of ending a 22-month winning streak had faded, expressed his frustrations CSGO
“You have given me a hell of a gap to close,” he said CSGO
On lap 28, Verstappen dived underneath Norris for the lead at Turn 12 CSGO
Norris had a nibble back at the Red Bull heading into the ensuing right hander, but he failed to make it stick CSGO
The question now was whether Norris, and indeed Hamilton – now less than five seconds off the lead – could make their tyres last CSGO
The answer arrived on lap 34 when Norris dived in for a fresh set of boots CSGO
Verstappen followed in on lap 35, and despite, a slow left-rear tyre change, retained his position ahead of Norris CSGO
Three laps later and Hamilton was in, changing to the faster medium compound CSGO
Hamilton had the bit CSGO between his teeth and within 10 laps he was crawling all over the back of Norris’ McLaren CSGO
Norris slung his McLaren to the inside on the entry to the first corner in a move to stop Hamilton, but the older Brit gained CSGO better traction out of the corner to slingshot by in his Mercedes CSGO
Verstappen was five seconds ahead and Hamilton started to reel his old nemesis in only to run out of laps CSGO
Sainz took fourth ahead of Sergio Perez with Leclerc sixth and George Russell seventh for Mercedes CSGO
