"Football today is tough," said Guardiola, whose side beat their German opposition in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen.
"Today you don't have time to rest. I don't know if we are going to kill our players but the schedule is the schedule. We start in two weeks. But I saw what I wanted to see tonight — we are aggressive and we want the ball."
City won — and finally got the workout Guardiola had craved — thanks to a 6-5 penalty shootout win over Dortmund, after the game ended one apiece.
