""I earn four or five kilograms more for the amount of food and drinks that I have drunk, so it is really good," Guardiola said on Friday. "[The players] have been incredibly disciplined since 10 years ago. "Last season for the injuries that we had was a little bit more difficult, but always they behaved unbelievably. "All the players I had in the last decade and that is not an exception today. We have a standard as a club - everybody knows exactly what they have to do.""
""I prefer to be 10 points ahead of everyone but it is what it is. It is going really well but we are there," Guardiola said. "We are still in the end of December, in the Champions League we are up there, in the Premier League we are up there, we are in the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup, the start of the FA Cup is soon.""
Players will be weighed on return from the Christmas break to ensure fitness for the Nottingham Forest match. Players have maintained high discipline for about a decade, despite injury challenges last season. Weights were checked before the 3-0 win against West Ham on 20 December. Erling Haaland posted a photo showing 94.4kg with the caption "All good!" Past disciplinary measures included temporary exclusion from first-team training until weight targets were met, and a later apology was issued over a previous overweight comment about Kalvin Phillips. The club sits near the top of multiple competitions and transfer activity may occur in January.
