Prospect
The third-year Premier League and the FA Cup final defeat made Manchester City's 24-25 season fail. Manchester City has invested about 300 million pounds in the past eight months, and they hope to sweep away the haze of last season. The new player has briefly experienced Guardiola's coaching style in the Club World Cup and showed potential, and Rodri's health in the new season will determine the team's fate.
Guardiola said that Manchester City seemed unable to face opponents who were strong, physically fit, and intensively defended. The team may focus more on opening up offensive space through personal breakthroughs. After De Bruyne leaves the team, Serki, Foden, Doku and Savigno will become more important.
In the goalkeeper position, Ederson has been Guardiola's first choice for many years, and the arrival of Trafford may change this situation. As a former Manchester City youth training player, Trafford followed Ederson's goalkeeper's style pioneered by Manchester City and tried to replicate the Brazilian's ability to take the ball. The young Trafford has great potential.
On the front line, Haaland's threat is unquestionable, and the only question is whether he can stay healthy. And now Guardiola has a trusted backup forward Marmush. The Egyptian international has been fully integrated into the team and has brought more offensive options.
head coach
The failure of last season made Guardiola extremely dissatisfied, especially frustrated by his failure to stop the team from falling. The club has invested a lot of money to reshape the lineup, and Guardiola has also reorganized its coaching team. The most eye-catching appointment is the arrival of former Liverpool assistant Linders to Manchester City. The personnel change means the team changes, which is exactly what Guardiola is looking for. There seems to be no end to the dispute between Manchester City and the Premier League. This has been going on for a long time, and competitors continue to attack Manchester City using this as an excuse, while Manchester City insists that they are innocent and accuses of being persecuted. In any case, everyone hopes that this matter will be resolved as soon as possible.
On the other hand, Manchester City decided to keep the ticket price unchanged, a move that won some favor after being criticized for over-squeezing fans' money.
Important signings
Manchester City finally welcomed an orthodox left-back, but what is more exciting is the 21-year-old Serki. He is a unique player, he is good at dribbling, creating opportunities and scoring goals himself, and he can always be creative under his feet. Serky is also competent for multiple positions behind the striker. In the context of today's increasingly "stylized" football, Serky may be a person who breaks the rules.
Bob deserves to be expected by Bob in the Community Shield a year ago, indicating that he will make his mark. Due to Bob's outstanding performance, Manchester City even was willing to let Palmer go. Unfortunately, Bob had a broken leg during training and needed a long recovery, which took longer than expected, and ended up playing three substitutes in the league. Although the competition is more intense now, if Bob is given a chance, he may become a star player at Manchester City.
Fourden's key season to get back his peak
Fourden admitted that he failed to meet high standards last season, and blamed problems on the court on a variety of factors, including "psychological challenges off-court." The 25-year-old talented player still possesses all the qualities the head coach expects, and he is eager to prove himself again. If sufficient freedom is given, Foden will become the leader in Guardiola's new football philosophy and Manchester City's new era.
