Since Guardiola took charge, he has been able to get strong reinforcements worth more than 50 million euros from the market every year: Stones, Sane, B. Silva, Walker, Mendy, Laporte, Mahrez, Cancelo, Rodri, Dias to Greliş, who is worth hundreds of millions of dollars this season, plus the slightly less expensive Acker, Edsson, Jesus, Gundogan, as well as de Bruyne, Sterling and Youth Training Foden left by their predecessors, they have made the Spanish coach gradually complete his own team structure.
Manchester City's championship heritage comes from the strong purchasing power of the Abu Dhabi chiefs, which is on a par with other Premier League giants. Although Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea are all trying to catch up with Manchester City, from a capital point of view, Manchester City is almost invincible. Guardiola has been in charge for six seasons and will unsurprisingly win his fourth Premier League title. What is even more frightening is that he has "stood on the shoulders of giants" when he took office. All Guardiola has to do is keep stealing good enough players from the ball market, replacing the top players of the previous generation such as Aguero and David Silva, and successfully completing the team's metabolism within his tactical philosophy.
More importantly, Guardiola's Manchester City pay more attention to digging up talent from within the Premier League than before, and first occupy an absolute advantage in the share of local resources. His investments are not without failures, Danilo, Sane, Ferran Torres have all left, and Mendy's ouster is an unexpected, small-probability event, including Stones, who has become a marginal player. But most of the players have successfully integrated into Guardiola's system and become the foundation of Manchester City's dominance of the Premier League. City are not worried about the embarrassment of the Financial Fairness Act, as almost all of the players abandoned by Guardiola have earned net profits for the club on the ball market. The age structure of the team is reasonable, and the old, middle and young players aged 30-25-20 are matched, and the experience and impact are both. In addition to the 36-year-old Fernandinho, the main team is in the prime age. Moreover, Guardiola is also ready to use the proceeds from the sale of Ferran Torres, Angelinho and Harrison to participate in the bidding for Haaland to further strengthen City's attacking power.
Compared with Guardiola's 6 years of painstaking management at Manchester City, the only other Champions League champions in the Premier League are Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool who can compete with Manchester City in terms of tactical continuity, but their investment ability is limited. In recent years, most of the income in the ball market has been unsatisfactory, affecting Liverpool's on-field performance. The depth of the bench is still the best for Manchester City, which is also the fundamental reason why Guardiola's team has been able to consistently outperform its competitors under the multiple attacks of the new crown epidemic and injuries and intensive schedules. To challenge Manchester City's hegemony, the only way to do this is to join the Abu Dhabi chief's capital race. The question is, how long can competitors hold out?
