The four-yearly World Cup is in full swing, and the eyes of fans around the world have long been on Qatar. However, at this moment, Premier League giants Manchester City quietly did a big thing, in the second half of the Premier League, they are expected to overtake Arsenal and win the Premier League again!
Fans who follow the Premier League may know that next summer, Pep Guardiola's contract with Manchester City will expire, for the renewal of the contract, the manager's attitude has been more ambiguous, he neither explicitly refused, nor chose to sign a new contract, whether he will continue to coach Manchester City in the future, has also become the focus of countless Manchester City fans!
Fortunately, the arrival of the World Cup has given Manchester City a one-month buffer period, during which they have plenty of time to lobby Guardiola to renew his contract. Not long ago, Guardiola finally made a decision, he will extend his contract with the Blue Moon for 2 seasons, and for some time to come, he will still lead Manchester City and continue to attack the throne of the league and the Champions League!
For Manchester City, the core of their team building is neither De Bruyne in midfield, nor Haaland, the "thigh" in the striker, but Guardiola in the dugout. Since Pep Guardiola took over in the summer of 2016, Manchester City have gradually transformed into one of Europe's top giants. In the 7 years led by the manager, Manchester City has won a total of 11 trophies, including the myth of 5 years and 4 titles in the league, and it is no exaggeration to say that Pep Guardiola single-handedly created the "Blue Moon Dynasty".
But as the manager's contract is about to expire, many Manchester City fans are also beginning to worry, is the manager leaving Manchester City? If he leaves, will City still have the dominance they once had? Fortunately, after the continuous efforts of the top management, he still successfully persuaded Guardiola to sign the contract, at least until the 2024-2025 season, the manager will still stay in Manchester City, hoping that in these seasons, he can lead the team to dream of the Champions League!
In the Premier League table, Arsenal threw off Manchester City by five points and led the way. But with the extension of Guardiola's contract, I believe the Gunners will feel a lot of pressure, and the Blue Moon Legion with a stable military heart will launch a crazy pursuit in the second half of the league. I wonder if the young Arsenal can still hold on to their slight advantage?
