Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has prescribed an unusual remedy for his players to cope with the pressure of the title race: enjoy life with caipirinhas and daiquiris. After securing a 2-1 win against Newcastle and extending their winning streak to five games across all competitions, Guardiola encouraged his squad to disconnect from the stress of fighting for the Premier League title.
The City boss, who draws inspiration from Johan Cruyff, told his players: "The best thing you can do these days to cheer yourselves up is to take many caipirinhas and daiquiris. Enjoy life and then do three good training sessions before going to Leeds." This approach mirrors Cruyff's famous advice before Barcelona's 1992 European Cup final: "Go out and enjoy."
