What problems does Manchester City’s Club World Cup elimination reflect?

After watching several games in the Club World Cup in Manchester City, I have a feeling that their signings and lineup structure need to be adjusted, and it is not the best state for the team.

For example, Gundogan. Gundogan's performance is actually OK, not that bad, but he is really old, a thirty-four or five-year-old veteran. There were several balls that were stealing and returning to chase and felt half a beat slower and a little overwhelmed.

If you participate in too many games, you will still be a little tired, and one league game a week and rotation will be suitable for him.

B Xi, Foden and others also played in a relatively average way, and they did not say that they showed too good competitive skills. Maybe it's because of physical fatigue. I was too tired to fight on multiple fronts last season and had injuries. Manchester City only performed about 70% of this Club World Cup.

From Rodri's appearance, we can see that he has just recovered from injury and has not yet recovered from his peak, so Guardiola is also cautious in his use.

If you can't play, you won't play. If you find something wrong, you will end up. There are also restrictions on the time you play.

Combined with De Bruyne's departure before, the new Cherki, Nuri and others have not been in the team for a long time, and the lineup has changed a lot, and it is understandable that they can't play in this Club World Cup.

Before the start of the game, my prediction for Manchester City was in the quarterfinals. I couldn't win the championship and entered the quarterfinals for the minimum time to complete the task. At present, it seems that the result is even worse than the prediction. I lost to Riyadh Crescent in a turbulent game. After the game ends, Manchester City is preparing to take a break for the players, and it is also adjusting. Gallish and other players are notified to leave. The new season is not in the lineup planning, and Manchester City will usher in great changes in the next two months.

From the backcourt to the frontcourt, there may be a big change. We will see different things in Manchester City in the new season.

Judging from the current lineup, what other problems do Manchester City have? It's still the same old things. De Bruyne's successor, Rodri's substitute, and the transition between the old and the new has been discussed too many times before. I won't discuss it specifically here, as it will be tiring if I talk too much.

This time I want to talk about a new point of view, which is the issue of Manchester City's mentality.

Since Cherki, Marmush and others came, I found that Manchester City has a characteristic, that is, the delicateness of the style of the game is not as accurate as before, and the team's speed and propulsion are better than before, and the impact is improved.

This may also be the characteristic of players like Marmush. They have a slightly stronger personal desire to attack, and their organization and support methods will not be compact enough.

The team still likes to build a system from the two-wing ribs, Duku, Foden and others.

Then under such a configuration, the tactics of the three central defenders are not very suitable, and the cooperation between the layers of advancement and passing will be tighter.

Because De Bruyne's successor is not so easy to find, the organization's hands can do now, and it may be that only B seat can still get a ball. With this characteristic, others are a little less than the organizer.

, the most suitable player configuration is actually to switch. The rapid advance from the back to the front is to use speed and impact to obtain goal space, and you cannot play too slowly.

is too slow, and the entry point cannot be found and will be used by the opponent.

Inzagji, Xiao also grasped Manchester City's weakness and knew the team's defensive problems. So he firmly implemented the defensive counterattack. He did not play with you on the ground, but just pushed the speed. After getting the ball, he quickly suppressed it from both wings to hit your weak links. He is familiar with this system and has mastered it in Inter Milan. He still implemented this tactic after coming to Saudi Arabia.

can win against weak teams, but if Manchester City faces a head-on battle, they will suffer a lot. In the 24/25 season, I believe everyone has also seen that Manchester City’s biggest problem is not weakness, but that strong dialogue cannot have an advantage, and the control in the past can no longer be played.

In the current state, there are also players' abilities and running-in levels. If Manchester City wants to have stable results, they may really be "turtle" for a while. The turtle here does not mean that the team must stick to the penalty area, but the scene should be as stable as possible, and let the players get started first and then play offensive football with all their strength.

There are too many new players and are not familiar with them. A large number of old players have to leave, which is equivalent to changing teams. If you don’t have time to adapt, it is really difficult to play well.

The complete Manchester City, I think it will only be seen at the end of this year and the beginning of next year. At the beginning of the new season, they will definitely have ups and downs, and they will also experience a wave of losses, so they must be mentally prepared.

In the next two months, let’s see what happens to their transfer.
