And Pep, the boss of Etihad, fears that burnout will cause serious injury. He told his jaded players DO NOT come back from vacation unless you are physically and mentally ready.
Guardiola's warning comes 24 hours after Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has called for a longer summer break to protect the stars of the Premier League.
And Pep raged: "It's a crazy schedule and it's going to kill our players! They must rest.
"I do not want them to come back when they are tired, or mentally not recovered from an incredibly difficult season.
"We started a new season while Riyad Mahrez did not finish last!"
Many stars of the city are still on vacation and will miss the beginning of the season. Mahrez was part of the Algerian team that won the Africa Cup of Nations last Friday.
And City stars Sergio Aguero, Nicolas Otamendi, Gabriel Jesus, Ederson and Fernandinho all made their way to the final stages of the Copa America.

City, which is touring Asia, starts the season against Liverpool in the Community Shield in 11 days.
Kop boss Klopp is also upset by the consistency of football and says: "It looks like nobody can imagine a week without football in the year. When did it happen?
"Come on, let them go. Be brave. Do not treat each match as if it were the last of a decade. "
