In the early hours of February 21, Beijing time , prom inent journalist Jeremy Cross wrote that he had up dated his plans after Manchester City ' s European Championship exit and his future plans .
According to him , Man City manager Guardi ola belie ves it is time for the team to be completely re bu ilt .
Seven of the mer itori ous players , including Deb rone , will leave the Eti had Stadium this summer .
In the extra game of the European CL final , Manchester City were defe ated by former rival s Real Madrid 1 - 3 away , with a total of 3 - 6 on both occasi ons .
After the game , Guardi ola ' s team was rid icu led by op pon ents for being less than half as strong as they were last season .
Of course , the most una c cep table thing for Manchester City fans is that players are gre edy on the pit ch , which is no different from paying a gun and sur r ender ing .
Last season , to know that Manchester City also en counter ed Real Madrid in the tourn ament , the final PK match was not oppos ed to the op ponent ' s out , but at that time , they were able to make Real Madrid ret reat all the way , and finally managed to get one draw after exha usting the strength of nine bull s and two tig ers .
At the end of this season , there will be 10 players in the Man City squ ad over the age of 30, and it is a fact that Mr . B illion Gr rish will also celebr ate his 30 th birthday in September .
De Br one , Ky ung Do an , Bern ardo Silva , Stone , Ed son and Ar kan zi are all cred ited with helping Manchester City win the 2022 / 23 European Tri ple Crown , but looking at their performan ces this season , they have been injur ed or have fallen into serious form and are nothing compared to their pe ak form .
So this summer , they probably will leave the Eti had Stadium and will not be retur ning to the former captain , Ker wal ker , who was on loan at AC Milan .
For the rema inder of the season , the Winter Window ' s sig nings - including Mal mus ch , Kh usan ov , Nico G onza lez and even Victor Les - could gain time to integr ate into the squ ad more quickly .
Man City have paid these players more than € 200 million in trans fers and they must be the corner stone of the team ' s future rather than simply res cu ing them .
After w hip ing Man City at Guardi ola , the team under went two major re bu ild s .
First time in the 2017 / 18 season .
At the time , Man City ' s squ ad was seriously ag ing and many players did not fit into Guardi ola ' s tac tical system .
So after experi encing the four great ski es of the first season of the leader , Guardi ola immediately began a big blood change of the team .
Bra ve players such as Ker wal ker , Bon jam ann Mend y , Bern ardo Silva and Ed son join ed the team in succes sion , and all of the veter ans who were over 30 years old , such as Kor al ov and Sab ara ita , left the team .
In the winter window of that season , Lap orte join ed the team .
A year later , Rod ley and Mah rez also join ed the team , and these players laid the found ation of the 1.0 for U ll man City .
Manchester City also won four Premier League tit les in the next five seas ons and reached the final of the European Champions League in 2020 / 21.
However , the defe at of the European Champions League final and subse quent semi - final defe at to Real Madrid left City feeling the help less pain of the front .
In the summer of 202 2, Manchester City had another blood transf usion , with front - Whatsapp generals such as Ster ling and Heath leaving the team , and Har land and Al varez jo ining the team .
The Man city 2.0 version set sail .
As a result , Manchester City won three European tit les in the 2022 / 23 season , and after losing the European title and the FA Cup in a row last season , they won their first four consecu tive Premier League tit les and won their first European Super Cup and Club Cup tit les .
However , the liquid ation of Rod ley ' s sever ely injur ed season and the ag ing of the first - te am squ ad forced U ll man City to us her in the 3.0 era early on .
In fact , it is more a continu ation of the 2.0 era than of the 3.0 era .
However , this time , I wanted to continue to shine , but it didn ' t seem to be that easy .
Guardi ola is a manager who is obs essed with defen sive tac tics , and his success at Man City is due to his deep understanding of his tac tical philos ophy and his ability to pen etr ate good players on the pit ch .
However , such players are hard to find .
This season , the liquid ation of Rod ley , Deb rone , Kyo Da ' an and the ag ing of the B - se at , repe ated ly push ed Gua Sh uai to the wall , which has persist ed in the tac tics of pass ing control , and continued to update the record of his own coach ing shame .
Previous ly join ed Har land , Doc , Sa vig no , Winter w indow and Mal mus ch and others signed up , the technical character istics are slight ly incompati ble with the Trans mission Control Ta c tical System .
So it ' s hard to get Man City back to the top unless Guardi ola ' s w itty hand comes back in the spring and cre ates a new tac tic .
