Pep Guardiola has banned his Manchester City players from using Wi-Fi at their training grounds.

Guardiola has arranged for certain areas of the City Football Academy to be free from 3G signal and disconnected from the in-house Wi-Fi system.

Pablo Zabaleta revealed the move from the Catalan which aims to make it harder for players to be distracted by their phones or other mobile devices.

“He forces us to have breakfast and lunch together at the club. The internet is cut off, we are held incommunicado. We don’t even use 3G,” the full-back told Argentina’s TyC Sports.

Other changes made by Guardiola include the banning of pizza after matches, with players now snacking on nuts. 

Guardiola also wants his players to eat together after home matches.
