Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola feels the pressure is off his players this season.
Guardiola can sense an attitude shift after winning the Champions League last season.
Of course, it was a good summer because of the fact we did it," he said. In the first game of the Champions League they will no longer ask me if we have to win it and this kind of stuff.
When the competition starts we work a lot. Yesterday it was Arsenal, Arsenal, Arsenal. It's the competition that puts you in this position.
"In the summer time you relax while other people work for the club to find what we need. But the moment the competition is here, the warnings are there and the players are there. It's not a big effort."
