No Pep Talks! Man City Refuse Amazon Access to Dressing Room as Part of Upcoming Series

Manchester City have refused Amazon the right to film Pep Guardiola's pre-match and half time team talks as part of their £10m behind-the-scenes documentary, according to the Daily Mail.

The Seattle-based conglomerate and City announced on Thursday that a 10-part fly-on-the-wall docuseries would be broadcast on Amazon's Prime internet TV channel to give fans a look behind the curtain of the current Premier League leaders.

Despite the eight-figure outlay by Amazon, however, City declined to allow the company's TV cameras to film in the dressing room before and during football matches - presumably in a bid to prevent Guardiola's tactical plans and team talks from being scrutinised and used against them by other clubs.
