For Manchester City, the season has really reached its most critical moment. After regaining their ground, their performance gave the fans a slight sigh of relief. For this team, after too many failures, the whole team hopes to be able to pocket the coveted Champions League trophy this season. Relatively speaking, in Manchester City, although the priority of the league title is slightly lower, but with their current position, Guardiola is bound to fight for it. If they can reach the top in both competitions, the team will undoubtedly have a fantastic season.
At team level, as Ruben Díaz finally recovers from injury, their squad has been quite neat. This is very important for teams that need to sprint. Since the matches are quite intense for the remaining fixtures, it is necessary for any team that fights on multiple fronts to rotate the main squad as much as possible. After all, after a long season, most of these main players have reached a bottleneck period. However, compared to their rivals, Guardiola is slightly less than the rotation in order to ensure that the team can advance to the next round due to the strength of Manchester City's opponents in the Champions League. Many of the main players played consecutively, even playing the whole game, which may have some adverse effects on the team's next matches. However, for these experienced players in the team, they should be able to adjust their competitive status to the greatest extent.
For Guardiola, judging by the team so far this season, the Spanish coach is still at a fairly high level. In terms of team management, the atmosphere within the team is quite outstanding, whether it is the main players, rotating players, or players who have difficulty getting opportunities, there is no behavior that affects the order and morale of the team. From this point of view, Guardiola's mastery of the dressing room seems to have been in full swing. At the technical and tactical level of the team, he is still a "master" coach. Unlike many managers' single tactical styles, Guardiola can tailor tactics for the players in the squad, so that the vast majority of players can play at the level they deserve, even beyond the level. For the shortcomings in the team lineup, Guardiola can even turn it into an advantage through tactical adjustments. Take Cancello, for example. The full-back's offensive ability is outstanding, but his defensive ability has been criticized a lot. In Guardiola's tactical system, Cancello's defensive shortcomings were cleverly "avoided", and he also became the top player in the european football wing position.
Another example is Jesus. As a striker, the Brazilian striker has never really proven himself in manchester City. In the center position, his shooting ability has always made his teammates quite helpless, and his physical confrontation ability and height are not ideal, so even after he is only a pure center in the team, he still can't pick up the beam. However, Guardiola did not choose to give up, and in view of his good speed and good dribbling ability, he pulled his position to the side. In this position, after moving away from the dense defense in the middle, Jesus gained more space and also performed quite well. This season, without being a regular starter for the team, he has scored more than 10 goals directly in all competitions. Moreover, Jesus' attitude towards the game is quite positive, which is one of the important reasons why Guardiola often entrusts him with heavy responsibilities.
Therefore, for Guardiola, when most of the positions in the squad are already quite ideal, the reinforcement of the center position becomes the most important task. Sources say they still keep an eye on Kane, but are also wary of his age and injuries. And at the end of the season, Kane may not be in the transfer market. In this case, the team has turned its sights to players who really have room to operate. According to Bild, as the season enters its final stages, City's transfer signings have achieved decisive results. Haaland's transfer is already decided and they will soon finalize it. It is reported that in order to sign the top striker worth 150 million euros, Manchester City offered him an annual salary of 30 million euros and a five-year contract.
In addition, at the back, with Fernandinho basically certain to leave the team, Rodri, who lacked help, could not support the entire season alone. According to transfer expert Eckrim Konur, Guardiola is interested in a young talented back who hopes to complete the signing at the end of the season, and he is Joan Ameni. The young midfielder has come a long way this season and has become one of the most promising players in European football. His value has also "risen", reaching about 70 million euros.
