Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola has cancelled
Christmas for his first-team stars, as they have all been banned from attending
the club’s festive party.
According to Goal, Guardiola is keen to avoid another
festive slump, like the one which threatened to derail their treble hopes last
year. After last year’s celebrations, Manchester City were surprisingly beaten
3-2 at home to Crystal Palace and then lost to Leicester four days later.
They eventually recovered to successfully defend their
Premier League title. And with City currently 14 points behind league leaders
Liverpool, Guardiola has taken action to avoid a similar slump by banning
players from this year’s bash.
