Pep Guardiola wants to give all the players of his team a chance this season

Pep Guardiola insists that there will be opportunities for all his Manchester City players for the rest of the season – if they are patient.

City, still in contention for four trophies, currently has an almost complete team.

This means that the competition for the places is fierce, as evidenced by the names of Sergio Aguero, David Silva, Raheem Sterling and Leroy Sane appointed by Guardiola on the bench for the FA Cup victory Saturday against Burnley.

Guardiola, whose team takes up defense of his Premier League title in Newcastle on Tuesday, continues to downplay any quad debate.

But the Spaniard admits that he dreams of bringing to City the same long-term success as that of some of the biggest clubs in Europe.
