2021 is both joy and sorrow for Manchester City, the joy is that the team has regained the Lost Year's Premier League title; on the Road to the Champions League, the team reached the final with a record of all-time success, but lost to Chelsea. But this year's results, I believe, whether it is for Guardiola or Manchester City fans, are recognized.
This year, Manchester City has almost no opponents in the local arena, first winning last season's League Cup, and then pressing the crowd to win the Premier League title without much pressure. Under the long absence of Aguero, Guardiola killed all four sides with a set of "no fronts", and the multi-point blossoms of Gundogan, Bernardo Silva, Gabriel Jesus, Phil Foden and others were more difficult to prevent.
On the way to the Champions League, Manchester City beat the emerging Bundesliga powerhouse Borussia Monchengladbach, Dortmund with a number of supernovas and Paris Saint-Germain, who are also a billionaire army, to reach the final. City's performance against Borussia Dortmund and PSG was extremely convincing, and Phil Foden's performance in the big game was also surprising. However, in the final, Guardiola once again "increased the difficulty himself", and even discharged a "no back line" when facing Chelsea, resulting in the midfield being tragically hit by the Blues and hated with a goal. But this is already the best result in Manchester City's team history in the Champions League, and it is impossible to blame Guardiola for it.
In the summer, City continued to reinforce the squad, signing Jack Gralish for £100 million, but they also lost Aguero and centre-back Eric Garcia (although their departures had little impact on the overall quality of the team). However, the team's failure to recruit Three Lions captain Harry Kane from Tottenham was Guardiola's biggest disappointment.
Jack Grelich's performance after the transfer to Manchester City is only a loss, he thought that he could bring different styles and impacts to Manchester City, but he seemed to be incompatible with the team, and he who loved to play and take the ball was a bit in conflict with the Blue Moon, who played cheerfully and loved to use "one foot". But it will take at least a year for City to sign players in recent years to adapt to the team's system, as well as Bernardo Silva, Cancelo and Gundogan, and it is believed that Jack Grelish still needs a little time to integrate into the team.
However, under the failure to sign Kane, Manchester City's attacking power this season is completely unaffected, and in the 19th round of the league, they have scored 50 Premier League goals, and the team's multi-point blossom has made the attacking power more dispersed, and the most goals have been seven goals Sterling and Bernardo Silva. Although they still have to sign an orthodox center in the long run, this situation makes Tottenham even more embarrassing. Spurs are already in a losing position in this deal negotiation because Manchester City is not indispensable to Kane, but Kane has no intention of fighting for Tottenham. It is believed that Blue Moon can introduce the three-time Premier League Golden Boot goalscorer at a more affordable price in the next summer.
Manchester City are currently at the top of the table with a six-point advantage in the Premier League, and their success in staying out of injury this season is an important reason for their lead. However, I believe that what Guardiola wants to win most is the Champions League champion who can't be sought; I don't know if they can make a comeback on the Road to the Champions League this season.
