"It should be the players and the managers all together and make a strike; just through words it's not going to be solved," Guardiola told a news conference on Thursday.
"For FIFA, the Premier League, the broadcasters, the business is more important than their welfare. The simplest example is all around the world they have five substitutions; here it's still three.
"Tell me one argument to take care of players' welfare than this one.
"OK, we don't play anymore until we solve that situation. Maybe then the people are going to pay attention."

Rest of the quotes: "I don't think [a strike would happen] because we want to play, we want to continue. Make the people happy going to the stadium on the 26th, 27th, 29th, 31st [of December] and 1st [of January] and play games because we love to do that. I'm not saying there's a reason to make a strike. But when people say World Cups, European Cups, Carabao Cup semifinals over two legs, and FA Cups and the Premier League; more games and more games and less holidays.
"They need holidays. They need a rest for two or three weeks. And now we talk about welfare for players in that moment? No. It's a problem."
