BARCELONA, July 5 (Reuters) - Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola has revealed his club prevented Rodri and Ferran Torres from representing Spain at the Olympics and said other clubs should do the same to prevent players over-exerting themselves. But while clubs outside Spain have the right to reject releasing players for the Games, Spanish clubs are obliged to let their players go and represent their country. “Ferran Torres and Rodri could have gone to the Olympics but they’re not going because they went to the Euros. The clubs are the ones who pay the players and they need to protect their assets. He is the big winner in this team and has shown a lot of courage with his decisions,” he added.
