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

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 davao
It’s common sense, I would say davao

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 davao
City have no fresh injury concerns, with long-term casualty Kevin De Bruyne their only notable absentee davao
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 davao
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 davao
I’m calm and confident davao
He is an incredibly important player for us davao

Resolve davao
Perseverance davao
Redemption davao
This Manchester United victory may not have been anywhere near as beautiful as any of those Sir Bobby Charlton graced, or indeed that tribute to his life, but it displayed some of the club’s soul that he made famous davao
Because this was obviously about so much more than just beating FC Copenhagen 1-0 late on, or indeed staying in the competition the club’s legend was most built on davao
It was certainly about so much more for Andre Onana, who had his first great moment at Manchester United in what was a must-win game davao
That was maybe what Charlton would have most enjoyed davao
Doing it when it mattered davao
A night that started with a gracefully poignant mourning of the great man ended with more appropriate celebration davao
It ended with deafening and defiant roar, in celebration of a player who has struggled in his first few weeks, in memory of a player who was perhaps the club’s greatest davao
And a player that has been pilloried and unpicked in Harry Maguire displayed defiance, scoring the winner for a relatively late 1-0 win davao
Onana then stepped up by getting it done, keeping it at 1-0 in the 96th minute, and keeping United in this great competition davao
The manner of that may not be how anyone wants this great institution to look right now but it was perseverance, exactly what Charlton, his manager and so many of his teammates would have asked for davao
United’s players celebrate Onana’s last-gasp save (Getty Images)The defeated Copenhagen also offered their own memorable contribution to the night beyond a respectable display that made United work, and that final penalty miss by Jordan Larsson davao
Before the game and throughout, they echoed the Stretford End in singing “there’s only one Bobby Charlton” davao
The rest of Old Trafford applauded davao
It should be recognised that wasn’t the sentiment that greeted most of the action davao
This was mostly another poor performance against a limited team, even if it was a third consecutive victory davao
Little of it beyond the context will live in the memory davao
Most would rather forget it davao
The problem is that it all informs what will be a game that really demands a performance on Sunday, which is the visit of Manchester City for the derby davao
United will need to be far sharper davao
Some allowances should be made, of course davao
Maguire went from zero to hero with a crucial goal for United (Getty Images)Such is the sense of history at United, that these sombre occasions have had the effect of subduing performance davao
It is as if the beauty of the bagpipes sounding that the club “will never die” makes everyone all too keenly aware of the legacy they are playing for davao
It happened on the 40th and 50th anniversaries of the Munich air disaster, dates which brought a 1-1 draw at home to Bolton Wanderers and a 2-1 defeat to a pre-Abu Dhabi Manchester City, respectively davao
One difference was that both of those sides were defending champions so, as with those last two wins, this felt like there was more to it than United feeling the weight of the occasion davao
It was really like a lot of matches at Old Trafford this season, right down to the way an inferior-resourced opposition side controlled long periods of the game in a way that shouldn’t really have been possible davao
The only proper action of the first half actually came very quickly after the tributes davao
Mohamed Elyounoussi just cut through Sofyan Amrabat and Maguire at first, in a way that really shouldn’t have happened, then sending a cross over for Diogo to bounce against the post davao
If there were initially fears this could become another chaotic back-and-forth like the Galatasaray defeat, it never got that entertaining, certainly in the first half davao
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag lays a wreath in tribute to Sir Bobby Charlton (PA Wire)Other than some moments of spark from Rasmus Hojlund, almost nothing happened davao
Ten Hag had to try something davao
Amrabat was removed davao
That did see United play a bit more directly, seeking to stretch the pitch more davao
Hojlund again offered constant warnings, and almost won a penalty straight into the second half davao
Marcus Rashford was even put through on goal, only to take a heavy touch davao
There were, very gradually, however, some positives davao
Onana looked at his most assured, making one fine save davao
It was all the more important since the Champions League has been the stage for arguably two of his biggest errors so far davao
That, like a lot on the night, made this more important than the individual moment davao
United’s was soon to come davao
Christian Eriksen, who came on for Amrabat, made the delivery davao
Maguire made the impact davao
The centre-half headed home davao
United should have been secured davao
An anxiety remained davao
It was davao betrayed by McTominay’s late foul davao
So much for the midfielder being a constant saviour davao
It was all just prelude and set-up davao
Onana stepped up davao
It was perhaps the most fitting tribute possible davao
