If it's within the sense of fair play and sportsmanship and whatever and if it should be like this I will keep to myself. It is up to the authorities to find a solution."
"I ask the fourth official at this point if you want to do something. Our hands are tied. If we don't educate our players in football what to do in terms of fair play and sportsmanship and whatever and if we just try to bend the rules and even do a fake injury in order to do an additional team talk, it is not what I like personally.

Manchester City won 3-2 at the Etihad after an intense match that featured an early Phil Foden goal and a Josko Gvardiol second before halftime.
