The English Premier
League is not as easy as it looks and for Pep Guardiola in his first year in
charge of Man City, he saw the reality of a far much-contested association than
La Liga and Bundesliga.
As last campaign the Sky
blues did not brought any piece of silverware to its halls under the man
considered as the great one among young managers, considered as odd for a club
with the most expensive payroll.
Money, money is what
this club has and so far, Pep has spent a screaming amount over £200 million
pounds and so far nothing scandalous coming the City way in the shape of a big
name player.
As his team
considered as an all-around favorite to win it all in this campaign, still for
the Sky Blues manager he feels like he is missing someone in what is to be his all
campaign initial eleven.
Despite counting with
an insurmountable budget to get anyone, the Spaniard wants a heavyweight to
play in Etihad and possibly get him and the team all the way to the
always-elusive Champions final, a trophy that its owners desperately want.
Still the transfer’s
market has been a very busy for the directives of City under orders of
Guardiola and despite targeting all of Europe’s elite, so far the arrival of
six players from that monstrous list he desired.
For now he has fulfill
his desires, but the Spaniard still is looking that player for what he is
missing in his overall attack and strategies in order to make an impact with
his Boys.
Therefore, Pep has delivered
a couple of Monaco Boys from his list that included Kylian Mbappe too.
Nevertheless, he is almost
becoming a Real Madrid man, still Benjamin Mendy and Bernardo Silva are now a part
of this Blues squad.
These two are from
that Monaco team that played in the semifinals and lost to Juventus in the last
edition of Champions and City delivered two of that amazing team, as you know
many squads in Europe are targeting Monaco’s entire initial eleven.
In addition, the
incorporation of keeper Ederson- Benfica to compete with the likes of Claudio
Bravo, Kyle Walker- Tottenham, Douglas Luiz- Vasco Da Gama and Danilo- Real
Madrid are the names already incorporated in Pep circle.
The odds of this team
making a superb run despite the challenges from its toughest competitors in the
likes of cross town foe Manu arming with the best-handpicked players and then
we have Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham, Arsenal, West Ham and Everton.
It does not come easy
for Man City!
Ahead of the start of
Premiership, Man City is competing in America in the International Champions
Cup and later playing another friendly in Iceland against West Ham United.
After those,
preseason compromises Pep Guardiola and his Sky Blues are ready to charge in
their Premiership competition and make a decorous stand to deliver the
nourishment of this squad every campaign need, trophies.
With league opening
against newcomers at old Falmer Stadium against Brighton, Hove and Albion on
August 12, then the week after coming home and play Everton and closing the
month playing away at Goldsands Stadium to face off AFC Bournemouth.
No science here in my
forecast that Manchester City will finish first in Premiership as well it can
give us a surprise in Champions League and maybe netting a foursome in
trophies, I would not doubt do it from City.
