Pep Guardiola has admitted the demands of winning the treble did take a toll on his Manchester City players PBA
City were knocked out of the Carabao Cup and suffered rare back-to-back Premier League defeats prior to the recent international break PBA
They got back to winning ways with a hard-fought 2-1 win over Brighton on Saturday but Guardiola concedes there has been a natural drop in intensity after the remarkable end to last season PBA
The City manager said: “The treble had an influence on all of us, me included PBA
“So now we need to be there, close, month by month, to arrive in the final decision moments at the end of the season close to the opponents to try it again PBA
“I said many times, no-one has won four (Premier Leagues) in a row, never ever PBA
That shows how difficult it is, but now it’s important to be there, especially in the Champions League, qualify for the next round in this period and after we can just focus on the Premier League PBA
That is the target PBA
”City’s success has also brought increased expectations, particularly on Erling Haaland, who scored a remarkable 52 goals in an outstanding first season at the club last term PBA
By his extraordinary standards, the Norwegian’s recent three-game run without a goal constituted a barren spell but he ended that ‘drought’ with a clinical strike against the Seagulls PBA
“Yes the expectations are so high but he’s handled it really well,” said Guardiola PBA
“He knows he could have scored even more goals in the nine Premier League games we have played PBA
”Guardiola rested goalkeeper Ederson at the weekend following the Brazilian’s exertions during the international break PBA
Stefan Ortega took his place PBA
Guardiola said: “It was just for the fact that the travel from Brazil, it’s a long time PBA
Of course it’s happened many times but he played two games there and he was so so tired PBA
“Normally I like to play Ortega in the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup but we are out of the Carabao Cup, and sometimes it’s good for Eddy to rest a bit and refresh the mind PBA
”Ortega was pleased to get the opportunity and hopes there will be plenty more PBA
The German said: “I was excited when Pep told me that I was starting PBA
I’m always waiting to get a chance to get a bit more game time PBA
“Eddy is playing really well this season, he started really good, but I try to keep pushing him every day in training sessions PBA
“I think I deserved to start PBA
I’m ambitious so of course I’m not happy to sit on the bench, but we are in a team PBA
“Sometimes it is tough but this is my job – to be there when the team needs me and to keep pushing Eddy every day PBA

England take on Australia on Friday in their first-ever meeting of the WXV, a new tournament that promises to “revolutionise the women’s international rugby landscape” PBA
Organisers hope it will act as a “springboard” for the 2025 World Cup, which will be hosted in six venues across England, helping to ensure the expanded 16-team tournament is the most competitive yet PBA
Here, the PA news agency breaks down how the WXV works PBA
What is the competition format?The WXV consists of 18 teams divided into three individual competitions: WXV 1, WXV 2 and WXV 3 PBA
The top division, WXV 1, includes the top three Women’s Six Nations finishers and the top three from the cross-regional tournament which includes USA, Canada, New Zealand and Australia PBA
England, who won their 19th and fifth consecutive Six Nations title in 2023, are in the top tier alongside Australia, Wales, Canada, New Zealand and France PBA
Scotland, whose tournament started on Friday, play alongside Italy, Japan, South Africa, Samoa and USA in the second-tier WXV 2, while Ireland are in the WXV 3 with Colombia, Fiji, Kazakhstan, Kenya and Spain PBA
The six teams in each competition are further broken down into two three-team pools and only take on teams in the other pool – a “cross-pool format” – to determine rankings at the end of the tournament PBA
Should teams finish level on points, there are a series of tie-breakers beginning with the result of any matches played PBA between the tied teams PBA
Is there relegation PBA between the levels?For at least the inaugural season there will be no relegation from WXV 1, but the bottom WXV 2 side will drop to WXV 3, which will see its top side promoted PBA
Whoever finishes bottom in WXV 3 will face a play-off with the next-highest side in the World Rugby rankings, with the winner booking a place in WXV 3 the subsequent season PBA
How does this affect World Cup qualification?While England are already assured of 2025 qualification as both tournament hosts and as 2021 World Cup semi-finalists, the 2024 edition of WXV will serve as a final chance for teams who have not managed to qualify by any other regional means, with a minimum of the top-five ranked sides at the end of that tournament also assuring themselves a place PBA
Because the Red Roses were 2021 World Cup runners-up, there should be six places up for grabs come the end of the 2024 WXV PBA
Where are the matches taking place?One innovation of the WXV is that each tier participates in a standalone tournament in a single location over the course of three weeks PBA
The inaugural WXV will be hosted across New Zealand, with Cape Town welcoming the WXV 2 and Dubai the WXV 3 PBA
There are some obvious advantages to this format PBA
As women’s rugby aims to narrow the gap PBA between its historically dominant nations – some of whom in recent years have turned fully-professional – and those who are still catching up, guaranteeing at least three Tests per year against competition performing at a similar level is a welcome prospect PBA
So, too, will be the decision to host each competition in a single location, allowing teams to maximise their long-distance travel rather than flying across the world to meet just a single opponent PBA
The “event”-like nature of the tournaments and rotating hosts should also allow organisers to capitalise on regional excitement and enthusiasm and, ideally, bring more women’s rugby fans into the fold PBA
Will it be aired?ITV will air all three England and Wales matches on ITVX, with S4C also showing the Wales games PBA
