## Paulo Bernardo Counters Rodri’s Packed Schedule Complaints ### Bernardo Defends City Rotation Policy Manchester City goalkeeper Paulo Bernardo has defended the club's rotation policy, following complaints from teammate Rodri about the demanding schedule. Rodri recently spoke out about the number of games City have played this season, saying that it is "too much" and players are "tired." However, Bernardo insists that the rotation policy is necessary to keep the squad fresh and prevent injuries. "We have a lot of games, but we have a big squad and we need to use everyone," Bernardo said. "The manager knows what he is doing and we trust him." Bernardo also pointed out that City have been in good form this season, despite the packed schedule. "We are top of the league and we have won the Carabao Cup," Bernardo said. "We are still in the FA Cup and the Champions League. We are doing well and we are not tired." ### Rodri's Concerns Rodri's comments come after a busy period for City, which has seen them play 10 games in the past 30 days. The Spanish midfielder has started nine of those games, and he has played the full 90 minutes in seven of them. Rodri admits that he is feeling the effects of the packed schedule, but he insists that he is still willing to play as many games as possible. "I am tired, but I am a professional and I will always give my all for the team," Rodri said. "I want to play in every game and I will try to help the team win as many trophies as possible." ### Bernardo's Response Bernardo understands Rodri's concerns, but he believes that the rotation policy is the best way to manage the squad. "Rodri is a great player and we need him to be fresh for the big games," Bernardo said. "The manager knows what he is doing and we trust him." Bernardo also pointed out that City have a number of other midfielders who can step in if Rodri needs a rest. "We have a lot of quality in the squad," Bernardo said. "We have Fernandinho, Gundogan, De Bruyne, and Foden. We can rotate the players and keep everyone fresh." ### Conclusion The debate over City's rotation policy is likely to continue, but Bernardo's comments suggest that the players are behind the manager's decision. City have a busy schedule ahead of them, with games coming thick and fast in the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League. It remains to be seen whether the rotation policy will be enough to keep the players fresh and injury-free, but Bernardo's comments suggest that the players are confident in the manager's plan.
