MANCHESTER, England -- Its hard enough to compete with Barcelona with 11 men. With 10 players, its pretty much impossible.Doesnt Manchester City know it.City has played Barcelona five times in the last four seasons in the Champions League and ended a game with a full complement of players only once. Its one of the main reasons City has lost all five of those games.Ahead of the latest meeting, in Manchester on Tuesday, City manager Pep Guardiola has impressed on his players the importance of keeping discipline and a cool head.You have to learn, Guardiola said Monday. (Former City manager) Manuel (Pellegrini) lived through that, sometimes they were unfair, the last time it was from a mistake. But at that level, its impossible to achieve your targets (with 10 men).Its football, and football is a game of mistakes.The roll call of red cards are as follows: Martin Demichelis (professional foul) and Pablo Zabaleta (two bookings) in the last 16 in the 2013-14 campaign; Gael Clichy (two bookings) in the last 16 in the 2014-15 campaign; and Claudio Bravo (deliberate handball outside the box) in a 4-0 loss in the group stage two weeks ago.The dismissals can be put down to a number of factors -- the pressure of the occasion, the difficulty of handling elusive players like Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar, and simple brain freezes as with Bravo when he compounded his error of misplacing a pass outside the area by blocking a return shot by Suarez.Individual errors are part of football, Barcelona coach Luis Enrique said. Its difficult to evaluate whether or not these are one-off errors or its because the other team (Barcelona) pressured them.But I think the (4-0) result didnt really reflect the way the match went.City has had its disciplinary issues this season. Aside from Bravos red card, Sergio Aguero was handed a retrospective three-match ban for elbowing West Ham defender Winston Reid in a Premier League game, and Nolito also got a three-match suspension for aiming a head-butt at Bournemouth defender Adam Smith in the league.Nolito could have been shown a red card on Saturday for a similar offense, too, when he motioned his head toward Craig Dawson during Citys 4-0 win at West Bromwich Albion in the Premier League. Nolito was yellow-carded, and may have been saved by Dawsons reaction in not falling to the ground.I had no intention to hurt any other player, Nolito said Monday, (but) I have to show and set an example for children and other players. Hopefully it wont happen again.Before Bravos sending-off in the 53rd minute at the Camp Nou, City played well, created chances and was perhaps unfortunate to be behind 1-0. With 10 men, City unraveled and Messi completed another Champions League hat trick.It follows 2-1 and 2-0 losses for City in 2014, and 2-1 and 1-0 losses in 2015.Guardiola said City will have to play almost perfectly to beat Barcelona and keep qualification in the teams own hands.I think we know what we have to do to beat them, and they know us, Guardiola said. We will try it again ... I have never entered a match thinking we cant win.Luis Enrique expects Guardiola, his former teammate for Barcelona and Spain, to make some tweaks in personnel or tactics.I sense there will be changes, he said. We know Pep and we know his ideas. We have to be very attentive to what they do. He will try to touch the correct key to get the right result. I love his philosophy, I love his ideas.I dont think they can be any more aggressive in terms of pressure, Luis Enrique added. They were pressing us up to the stand (at Camp Nou).

Mashrafe Mortaza, Bangladeshs limited-overs captain, has said their upcoming tour of New Zealand offers a tough challenge for his side because they have played mostly at home in the last two years. That better-ranked teams have often struggled in New Zealand, Mashrafe said, meant that Bangladesh were likely to find it hard as well.In the last couple of years, we played mostly at home and won many of those matches too, Mashrafe said. We have been successful, now its a different challenge to play outside home. Its a challenge even for established teams to do well in New Zealand. So from that aspect, it is a bigger challenge for us. The New Zealand weather is different from other areas, but we can take the momentum. We can take good memories, which will give us confidence.Several players from Bangladeshs preliminary squad will leave Dhaka on Saturday for Sydney, where they will have a ten-day training camp before heading for their first tour of New Zealand in nearly seven years.Mashrafe said the camp, during which they arre scheduled to play T20s against BBL sides, will be helpful, similar to their 15-day stay ahead of the 2015 World Cup, and camps in Chittagong and Khulna before the 2016 Asia Cup and World T20.ddddddddddddIt will be good for us to work in Australia. We will live like a family. We will discuss all the problems. This makes it easier to work.For example, we did a 15-day camp before the 2015 World Cup in Australia, which helped us a lot though we lost the four practice matches, he said. Before the World T20s, we trained in Khulna and Chittagong, and that helped us in the first round.Mehedi Maruf has been added to the preliminary squad. After Maruf had initially done well in the BPL, BCB president Nazmul Hassan had publicly asked the selectors to include him and Shahriar Nafees in the squad.Bangladesh will play three ODIs, three T20s and two Tests in New Zealand from December 26 to January 24.
