Manchester City lost two consecutive games in the new season, Guardiola s persistence has put him in trouble

1:2 lost to Brighton, Manchester City has suffered two consecutive losses in the new season, and Guardiola is in trouble again. Since Rodri was seriously injured last season, Manchester City has not recovered. Even if Guardiola renewed his contract and bought a batch of new players, it would be useless.

I thought the team would have a new look after the transition from the old to the new, but the reality is terrible.

The successive losses have already brought Manchester City to a crossroads. Whether Guardiola should continue to coach has become a hot topic recently.

What is the dilemma of Manchester City?

Here I want to express a point of view, that is, Manchester City has a dilemma in the past two years, which is related to Guardiola's overly obsessed with passing and controlling tactics and not running in with the team system well. De Bruyne's decline and departure will be the main reasons.

Someone talked to me about football before, and he said Guardiola was very lucky. Barcelona has Messi and Manchester City has De Bruyne. His ability to achieve outstanding results in these two teams is inseparable from the team having talented players to enable him to achieve his goals.

These players not only can understand Guardiola's tactical intentions well, but also can open up the situation with their outstanding personal abilities under his tactical system, making Manchester City play pleasing to the eye. The existence of such a "top-class" player is a system itself, and it also enables Guardiola's tactics to work.

However, "Success is Xiao He and failure is Xiao He". No matter how powerful the star is, he will eventually get old. Since last season, De Bruyne has been going downhill due to injury, and it is difficult to help Manchester City.

The salary issue in the new season was not agreed upon, and he chose to go to Italy to join Naples.

De Bruyne's departure announced one thing, that is, the Manchester City system with him as the core will no longer exist, and will be replaced by new players such as Serki, Marmush, and Reindes, who will become the new backbone of the team.

Are these players good? It's also very good, the skills are not bad, and from the technical perspective, I won't say that I'm too behind.

However, compared with De Bruyne, they still have a considerable distance in terms of creativity, passing and building the team's offensive system.

Interested fans can take a look at the game where De Bruyne joined Naples. Although the number of appearances is not too many, the performance on the field is still very good. Unpredictable passes and creative performances are still outstanding.

With De Bruyne, the teleportation system in Naples became much more organized and more routine than before.

What is a great player? This is the role of a great player, a function that is difficult for anyone to replace. No matter how many stars you buy, it cannot be replaced.

Without De Bruyne, Manchester City's current midfield and frontcourt system is equivalent to losing his "soul". There was a commander in the midfield, but now the commander is gone, and the team's spirit is gone.

The new players have not yet been fully started, and the old players have not yet said that they can replace De Bruyne immediately. Rodri still has to find his form after being seriously injured, which has also put Manchester City in a dilemma of being unable to win.

If you are undecided to find De Bruyne, who are he not looking for? There is no one to rely on.

In my opinion, the sequelae of De Bruyne's departure will still plague Manchester City for a while. At least this season cannot be said to have completely come out, and it will take some time to rebuild.

In addition, we have to talk about a cliché issue: Is Guardiola's "just look at the food and eat" reasonable?

Unlike coaches such as Ancelotti, coaches like Guardiola and Amorin belong to the "tactical concept" style. They first have a tactical framework, and then combine players to find players who adapt to the system through continuous running-in, so as to achieve the goal of winning.

The advantage is that the tactical concept is relatively fixed, not busy, and it is easy to have stable policies to implement and will not fall into chaos.

The disadvantage is that "there is no other alternative without good ingredients." Braised pork with potatoes, Guardiola is good at this. But if there are no potatoes, only carrots, white radish and other dishes, can you make other delicious dishes?

From now on, we can basically conclude that Guardiola does not have this idea.

does not mean that he does not have the ability, he must have it. The problem is that his mentality itself is also stubborn and paranoid. If the previous concept wins the championship, you must make him come back to his senses and come up with another plan to win, which may be his resistance.

The most difficult thing for successful people is whether they can keep pace with the times, break the rules after knowing the difficulties, and find new ways out.

I think passing and passing are the basis for me to win the championship, and I will firmly believe in this belief and never give up. To let me change into another style, it undoubtedly goes against my football philosophy. Guardiola would think so in his heart.

The autobiography of Xavi, Iniesta and other players also indirectly mentioned Guardiola's persistent side many times.

When arranging tactics, players will be specially asked to do what they think. If they cannot achieve it, they will scold and scold them. Only after you can understand his intentions can you feel satisfied.

This almost paranoid concept made Guardiola successful. But paranoid ideas will also make Guardiola face failure.

With Xavi, Iniesta, Messi, De Bruyne, David Silva and other players, you can do tactical perfection; but what should you do without these stars?

Watching Gallish in Everton, playing well when he was at the core, sometimes when he thought about it carefully, perhaps Guardiola's tactical system is something worth discussing.

The concept of teaching students according to their aptitude and understanding flexibility is also an element that needs to win.

In this regard, I hope Guardiola can be more bold, and the tactical arrangement and execution levels can give people the courage to see some changes.

Trying to other tactics does not mean that you have to give up your original football philosophy, but that you can learn to win in other ways under adverse conditions.

When a person can let go of his persistence, take the initiative to face changes, and dare to challenge the unknown, this will be the best mentality to break through the situation.
