Pep Guardiola open to new World Cup

Unlike his rival Jürgen Klopp, TeMManager Pep Guardiola opposes the FIFA champion Manchester City's FIFA plans to discharge the Football World Cup in the two-year rhythm. I'm always happy when new ideas come to the table, said the Spaniard according to the newspaper Guardian: You can not criminalize ideas.

Ex-national coach Jürgen Klinsmann warned at the US station ESPN as well before aered rejection.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino had announced as by the end of the year to decide on a change of four to two years. UEFA-Boss Aleksander Cefer threatened Boykott, also the South American Confederation Conmebol spoke against the new model on Friday.

If people sit together at the associations, they should think about the game in themselves - and not just about their profit, Klopp had said on Friday. In the end, it's always about money, criticized the coach of the FC Liverpool.

Guardiola takes another position. The clubs and leagues defend their position, the FIFA defends her, and the UEFA defends her, said the 50-year-old. Everyone looks only on themselves. The World Cup is incredible. It is the biggest tournament, and as a viewer I always like to look at it. If I could see it every two years, that would be good.

But it is also a reality that the top players have only two weeks free, not three months to physical and mental regeneration. Eleven months are games, games, games, says Guardiola, one must reduce the program: It is too much. I do not say that you have to abolish national teams, the Champions League, the Premier League or all Cup competitions, but we have to find a solution.

Klinsmann: FIFA has an Andes goal

Just such a solution called Klinsmann, who had participated in the consultations of FIFA during the week on the future timing of World Cup finals, as the actual goal of the FIFA advance.

The World Cup rhythm will not be shortened overnight. The proposal was placed on the table, so you speak about it and for and contrary to it. The real plan behind everything is to develop a game calendar, which for all - players, clubs , National teams, all - less stress than currently means, said the World Champion of 1990.
