There are fantastic heroes, but the main man is Guardiola.

Manchester City have an irreplaceable man

From Manchester United there is nothing new to say after the derby. The players and coach Ten Hag are a disgrace to a great club, just as other coaches and players have mocked them before. With such wild resources, we need to show a different kind of football. However, inside nuclear submarine a team worth a billion could be in Chelsea’s place, the Londoners, after a new defeat, are in 11th place after ten rounds. Manchester United He only scored three points more, but Ten Hag hasn’t worked with the team since the summer like Pochettino.

In the derby, Manchester City players predictably overcame their neighbors’ line of pressure and scored three goals, although they could have done more, as Onana saved seven shots. A team that can easily create two dozen counter-hit attacks Manchester United, definitely special. But “city dwellers” have a unique feature. Manchester City does not have an irreplaceable player, without whom the team would completely collapse. A unique story, because at this level many coaches are afraid of losing key people.

And the only irreplaceable person at Manchester City is manager Guardiola. Josep wore black in the derby, they remembered Bobby Charlton, the legend Manchester United. The match turned out to be sad for the Red Devils, because Haaland once again makes an exception for his neighbors. Erling has many bad games against strong opponents, but in the Manchester derby the Norwegian scored a brace and an assist. But even Holland is not irreplaceable, Champions nuclear submarine it became without him. And we also played the Champions League final without the Norwegian.

The Citizens don’t even depend on De Bruyne and Walker

Kyle and Kevin are needed in the locker room. But even if Guardiola had another winger on the right, and played in the center of the pitch without the injured Belgian, the structure of the game would not break down. The tactics change a bit, Manchester City play with the 4-2-3-1, but this is a reaction to Alvarez’s progress. Unfortunately, the Argentine will remain in the background, given that Messi is in the national team and Haaland is in the club. But Julian is the new Bernardo Silva in terms of specific weight.

But even when legends David Silva, Sergio Aguero, Fernandinho and Kompany left Manchester City, the team did not fall apart. We also remember Sterling, Sabalet, Yaya Tour and Gundogan. But the departures of several English champions were not a harbinger of disaster. When other clubs significantly change their squad, obvious problems arise with the game or conflicts begin in the dressing room. This is why the coaches of Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern are also fired. It is not easy to rebuild, even if it is PSG and Juventus, so they had a lot of money and not even a win Champions League.

And Manchester City, given that the manager is more important than the players, remains afloat. Of course, Guardiola’s sheer power can sometimes be detrimental. For example, it was worth finding a replacement for Aguero first in the “nine” position, Haaland proved this. But most of the time the class of the Spanish coach helps the “citizens”, even if other clubs, having lost important players, go back. Even without the guys that Guardiola pumped to the max, such as Mahrez, Jesus and Zinchenko, Manchester City did not lose its status as favorites nuclear submarine AND Champions League. But the appearance of the Brazilian and the Ukrainian in Arsenal changed Arteta’s team: now they also believe in the championship.

Guardiola does not live in the past, the one he leaves first

Ancelotti allowed himself to live in the past in a season without Bellingham – Manchester City flew Champions League and gave the championship to Barcelona. Now he has woken up with Jude’s help, but this could be Carlo’s last European tour. The great coach Mourinho is bitter, because he lives on memories of past loves, and his old-fashioned methods don’t work with teams of the level of the Champions League final. It will be difficult for Zidane to overcome his past at Real Madrid.

Guardiola, even though he experienced many failures with Bayern and Manchester City Champions League, did not live in the Catalan past. Josep never tried to lead Barcelona, ​​although it was certainly not only Messi who called him when he called his former manager in tears asking him to save his parent club. But Guardiola is more comfortable in Manchester under the wing of wealthy sheikhs, who have not yet been barred from being English league favorites and are under investigation for financial fraud. Champions League.

De Bruyne looks to Manchester City without him and thinks of Saudi Arabia as they search for his replacement. And Rodri’s impressive performance doesn’t stop Guardiola from talking about Lewis’ great future. He is an all-rounder who can play on the wing and central midfield, just like the young Kimmich and before that Lahm at Bayern. We will definitely see Rico in action; the Manchester City graduate is only eighteen.

Josep constantly offers players personal development

For many mentors, a footballer is an asset. For Guardiola, this is the favorite project. It is clear that there are positions where Manchester City do not need rotation. For example Ederson, Dias and Rodri have to play whenever they physically can. It is also stupid to prepare a strong reservist for Haaland. Alvarez’s versatility and experimentation with Foden and his teammates in the “false nine” role are enough.

But Guardiola is always looking for new personal projects. This time he was interested in seeing a classic winger on the pitch in the person of the young Belgian Doku, given that Grealish is more of an insider from the English school. But in some games Jack was also forced by the coach to play on the entire wing. Last season it was interesting to play a central three with Stones’ hybrid role in midfield.

One can recall an impressive number of permutations, role changes and interesting tasks for players of different levels. Not everyone succeeds. For example, the Croatian Guardiol did not reveal himself as quickly in his new role as the Portuguese Dias. But if Josep calls a person to his team, he has built an adaptation plan. The only rash transfer was the expensive purchase of Phillips from Leeds.

But here Guardiola himself admits that his idol Bielsa worked much better with the midfielder. Even Manchester City can do better, they are not a vacuum cleaner to collect victories. Last season they almost gave Arsenal the title. Now it’s two defeats, which marks the beginning nuclear submarine more interesting. But look at the powerful play of the “citizens” and the work of the coach. Guardiola could become the best coach in the history of football.
