After securing their fifth consecutive victory across all competitions, Pep Guardiola recommended his Manchester City players to take a break and enjoy life. 'The best thing you can do these days to cheer yourselves up is to take many caipirinhas and daiquiris,' the manager said, urging them to enjoy their time off before resuming training ahead of their match against Leeds.
The City squad, currently two points behind Arsenal in the Premier League and having advanced to the Champions League top 8, is benefiting from Guardiola's approach inspired by Johan Cruyff's philosophy of enjoying football. The manager recalled Cruyff's famous advice before Barcelona's 1992 European Cup final: 'Go out and enjoy.'
