Since taking over at Man City, manager Pep Guardiola has imposed a number of player bans that have surprised many.
Zabaleta surprised many when he shared details about Pep Guardiola's ban on internet use during training sessions. The midfielder revealed that not only did the coach request the training ground management to cut off all Wi-Fi, but he also forbade players from using 3G on their phones.
"We were like being held in solitary confinement. The internet was cut off, and so was 3G. All he wanted was to help the players focus completely.""Zabaleta told Sky Sports."
Wi-Fi isn't the only thing Pep Guardiola has removed from Manchester City. Here are six other things the Spanish manager has also said no to:
 |
| Pizza:Pizza is not a very nutritious food for athletes, especially footballers. As Gael Clichy revealed, Pep Guardiola immediately banned pizza from the players upon arriving at Man City. |
 |
| Fruit juice:Along with pizza, fruit juice is also strictly forbidden by Pep because it contains too much sugar. |
 |
| Unusual hairstyle:Perhaps Pep doesn't want the players to worry too much about their hairstyles and forget their main task on the pitch. |
 |
| Overweight players:Ronaldo "the Fat" once dominated the game when he weighed nearly 100 kg. However, if he were a student of Pep Guardiola, he would be ruthlessly dropped. The fast-paced, relentless pressing style of play that Pep Guardiola championed is not suited to overweight players, and Nasri is a prime example. |
 |
| The goalkeeper doesn't know how to use his feet:Joe Hart, despite being a key player, was immediately pushed out of the club by Pep Guardiola simply because he didn't know how to play with his feet. He was replaced by Bravo, who, although not as quick or adept at dealing with aerial balls, possessed excellent ball control skills. |
 |
| Separate lunches: Pep Guardiola requires the players to eat breakfast and lunch together and only "let off" for dinner. |
