Unbeaten in 9 games, there is hope for 5! Manchester City is back, you can always trust Guardiola!

"The initiative in fighting for the Champions League qualification is in our own hands, and we strive to get the remaining 9 points." - Guardiola is unbeaten in 9 rounds, and the qualification of the Champions League is not a problem

defeated Wolves at home, and Manchester City has been unbeaten in 9 games in various competitions. The previous stories of repeated defeats seem to be yesterday. Guardiola's team not only sees hope for the FA Cup championship, but also the Champions League qualification seems to be in the pocket.

In the recent acceleration of gear shifts, Manchester City has achieved a five-game winning streak, which is the first time they have achieved such an achievement since October 2024. In this round of "five and three" Champions League qualification competition, Manchester City currently ranks the highest (64 points third) and is in the best condition, and the schedule is also very beneficial to them. The three future opponents (Southampton, Bournemouth and Fulham) are no longer in demand, and Guardiola's disciples can focus their energy on the FA Cup final.

tactic improvement, Guardiola rebuilds Manchester City

tactic weight of traditional wingers has been reduced, box-type midfielders have become the cornerstone of the formation, no longer using side and midfield tactics, Gvadior is fixed in the central defender position, O'Reilly and Nunes have become the full-back with high positions, Doku transforms into the 12th man, and the formation switches between 4-1-4-1, 4-4-2 and 4-3-3... Manchester City is not easy to mess with at the end of the season. Guardiola recently used a series of tactical combos, all aiming to improve control and defense. Manchester City has gained offensive space by retreating to advance, and the power shown by the combination of Savignho & Doku is intimidating.

The lower limit is guaranteed, and the upper limit is based on new players

By digging deep into the existing team's resources, Guardiola has greatly increased Manchester City's lower limit. The team's summer window reinforcement work has become simple, that is, spending a lot of money to find a substitute for De Bruyne. The tall central axes supported by Gvadior, Rodri and Haaland are very reliable. The existence of box midfielders and double wingers is enough to ensure control. Manchester City needs to introduce a player who can break the opponent's iron barrel formation with inspiration and technology. Wiltz's transfer priority is obviously before Camavenga and Rodrigo.
