The new Premier League tour manchester City squad
Manchester City's new season is another bold reinforcement, spending 100 million euros in the summer, can they keep the Premier League championship?
The introduction of the popular "fried chicken" Haaland, and Leeds united iron waist Phillips, sent away "Mr. Happy" Sterling, and Brazilian international Jesus, so that it ended the years of no front play, Can Haaland carry the banner of attack? What have changed in Guardiola's tactics? With these few questions in mind, let's predict the Blue Moon's starting lineup.
Platooning on the front line
First, let's talk about the center, for many years Guardiola has played without a front, and this year has made a huge change, 60 million Euros signed the popular "fried chicken" Haaland, changed to play a front, Guardiola in the Bundesliga use Levan as a center has been a successful experience, so we don't need to worry about Haaland's use, as long as we pay attention to his cooperation with others, Haaland's sense of smell in front of the goal is very good, in the past in Dort, it is the ball to the people, help Dort attack the city, not to mention.
And now coming to Blue Moon Manchester City behind him with the "King of The Pie King" De Bruyne and other good players to provide cannonballs, will be more able to show Haaland's scoring ability, while Haaland himself in the counterattack impact is also very large, the speed is also very fast, and he can create lethality in the penalty area, which is something that Manchester City did not have in the past. So in the center of the center Haaland will not let go of the start, his substitute is recalled from River Plate Alvaris, The Little Watt also played well in River Plate, but coming to the Premier League needs more adaptation, and it is enough to play a substitute for Haaland.
Second, on the left side, the current candidates are Gloris and Foden, of course they are different types of players, Guardiola will put them on the left side, of course, it is also a good choice, although not the speed of Sterling, but Foden's advantage in this position is that he has a good vision, awareness and possession ability are good, especially his left foot skills, good crosses, center Harland came, may rub more sparks. In addition, the "British Emperor Star" Glalis played this position is also a good choice, he is comprehensive in technology, organization, dribbling, scoring are his strengths, the biggest advantage is that in this position he is better than Foden defense, willing to defend. Taken together, Guardiola will let the two take turns playing this position.
Third, the right side now see Mahrez renewed, more will let him play as a right winger, Mahesre on the right side, walk the inside line left foot to hit the goal is a must, how many defenders know that he takes the inside line to hit the goal, but it is not defensive, there is Mahrez in possession, dribbling, passing on the other forwards, his comprehensive ability, but also shows that he is an excellent scorer, in addition to the young Palmer can play Mahrez as a substitute, after all, to play a lot of games, the age of the old horse is there.
In short, there are now six forward players available to Guardiola in the new season, Haaland and Alvaris in the middle, Foden and Gralis on the left, Mahesre on the right and the new star Palmer on the right.
Platooning in midfield
Midfielder, now the most mature combination of the Blue Moon, B seat + Rodri + De Bruyne, the midfield is full of creativity, the "king of the cake king" De Bruyne's pass is haunted, always able to pass the ball that is not intended, so that the opponent is invincible. De Bruyne not only has the ability to pass the ball, but also has the ability to score, which is even more threatening. In addition to the B seat in the midfield, the ability to carry the ball is super strong, often playing with the opposing defenders, remember that last season, the B seat alone played a Liverpool three-man defense, and finally gave the way to fabinho foul. It can be seen that the B seat has a strong ability, and the B seat has a strong ability to score and assist, and is a generalist in the team. Pie King + midfield all-rounder, the two are bound to attack and assist in midfield, and Manchester City is worry-free.
The back of Rodri, since Rodri joined the team and replaced Fei Bird, is a team of iron, as stable as Tarzan, often when he is on the field, the basic defense is much more stable. But he does not play, the defensive pressure is very large, last season a lot of games can be seen, this year Guardiola to him to find Leeds United iron waist Phillips, to play him as a substitute, it is estimated that the situation can be better, other substitutes and Gundogan, check the gaps is also a good choice.
In this way, if there is no injury, the midfield trio is the most reassuring place for Manchester City, able to attack and defend, the perfect combination.
In addition to the substitution guarantees of Gundogan and Phillips, it is really like a tiger.
Defensive platooning at the back
Defensively, the Blue Moon now has more people at centre-back and is capable of playing the main force, Laporte, Díaz, Stones and Acre. The most trusted is probably the defender combination of Laporte and Díaz, who are relatively unstable but are still enough to play as a substitute.
Right-back Cancelo is now slowly replacing Walker, although he also has some problems, losing more balls, but on the offensive end of the performance is brilliant, in the wing under the bottom cross, 45 degree crosses, straight balls, have superior performance, breakthrough ability is also very strong, not to lose the average defender. Then again, Walker is old, but his physical fitness is there, and he is fully capable of playing as a substitute. Now look at the right side of the problem is relatively big, Zinchenko is going to be sold, Mendy has a lawsuit, there is indeed no good replacement, Brighton's Courescia can not come or unknown. So the new season could have Cancelo playing left-back and Walker playing right-back to wait for that to change.
The rear, the center guard is well staffed, and the full guard is to be seen.
Summary: Manchester City's squad for the new season
Starting forward, left winger Glalish, center Haland, right winger Mahrez
Substitute strikers, Foden has proven himself in recent seasons and will make a difference in the front line, youngsters Alvaris and Palmer still need time to adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League, and it is enough to play as a substitute for Haaland and Mahrez.
Starting midfielders: B fee on the left, Rodri at the back, De Bruyne on the right
Substitute midfielders, Gundogan, can play left and right midfielders, and occasionally can make cameo appearances at the back, which is also a midfield all-rounder, and new signing Phillips provides more protection at the back, while Glalis and Foden can also play in midfield, and when necessary, they can also appear in midfield to help.
Starting defenders: left back Cancello, centre-backs Laporte and Díaz, right back Walker
Substitute defenders, now look at centre-backs Acker and Stones, do not need to buy substitutes, full-backs if send away Zinchenko, Brighton's Kucuresia is uncertain, at least need a substitute full-back, or can be substituted from the echelon.
Starting goalkeeper: Ederson
Substitute, Stephen.
Do you think the Blue Moon lineup can successfully defend the title?
