So if Guardiola gets another three yellow cards, he will be banned for two matches from the touchline. He said: "It's a new rule. They explained to us that sometimes, we do not speak to them correctly. They are the bosses. We have to accept it. I have to adapt to them. "If I saw a few things I didn't like I would say it. Now, I have to control it. "It's not a big issue. It's not a problem. "They made the rules. When I was a player at Barcelona I was the least physical player ever but maybe I was one of the most booked players in Barcelona . "It was because I talked and talked and talked. Now, as a manager, it is the same." Guardiola, whose team delivered a poor performance at Wolves , admitted he did not like to be sat in the stands next to City director of football Txiki Begiristain and Manel Estiarte, head of player support. Guardiola said: "I like to be with the players and have the smell of the grass. Txiki and Manel were so nice but I prefer to be down there. "Next time it is a two-game ban. I was the first to be banned so that's a new record." As for the loss at Wolves, City's first of the season in the League, he said: "We have to do more. They beat us in the one v ones and that's not good and we have to do it properly."){kind=link}
