Guardiola abandons Gallish s suspense to be resolved

Manchester City fans will bid farewell to De Bruyne in their final home game of the season against Bournemouth on Wednesday, and while the Belgian midfielder who has played for a decade deserves to be the focus of the game, he is likely not the only player to leave the Etihad Stadium this season. Lineup innovation has long been imperative, and the upset loss to Crystal Palace last Saturday's FA Cup final highlighted that Guardiola's team urgently needed a new round of blood swaps - even if the club has invested a lot of money in the January transfer window.

B is one of the players who may follow De Bruyne to leave the team. The Portuguese midfielder has laid the groundwork for many people, including himself, in a candid interview after Wembley: "This is a really bad season for us, and it must change next year. I have my own opinion, but I won't tell you that this is something that the top leaders need to decide. But obviously, when the team's performance is not at this level, changes must be made. "

Gundogan and Ederson are other popular candidates who may leave after their decline in form this season, but one player needs to leave first: Gallish is no longer an effective piece in Guardiola's hands. He should not only leave the team for the benefit of the club, but also find a way out for his career.

The position is further marginalized

Despite Gallish's sluggish performance this season, the FA Cup was the last motivation for him to maintain his fighting spirit, and he played all the games in the journey to advance to the finals, starting in four of them, playing a key role against low-level league opponents such as Salford City and Leiden Oriental. He had previously admitted that he felt "collapsed" about Bournemouth's failure to start in the quarter-final away game. Although the substitute came on the bench to lock in the reversal, he could imagine how he felt when he didn't even get a substitute at Wembley.

Glalish has become accustomed to watching Savio or Doku take his place, and the two of them started together last Saturday to squeeze him into the stands. As time goes by and Manchester City becomes increasingly urgently needed to score goals, Guardiola has replaced attackers one after another but has always ignored the team's betting king. What embarrasses Gallish even more is that Argentine young player Echeviri, who has never entered Manchester City's roster at the age of 19, was given priority. In the end, Echeviri almost equalized the score. Guardiola had no regrets about using the new star, but what did Gralish feel at this moment?

His era ended

In the view of English legend Alan Shearer, this neglect should be the last straw of Gallish's career. Hiller said in the podcast: "Gallish's era at Manchester City is over and must leave the team. When the team urgently needs a goal, Guardiola would rather send the young player and Gundogan who made his debut than use Gallish, which means that his era is over and has been over and must leave. For whatever reason, Guardiola gave up on him and didn't like him anymore, and it really ended here. "

Gallish should have realized that his position at Manchester City has declined. This season he only started seven times in the Premier League, with a total of 715 minutes of playing - this is the lowest league appearance since the 2013-14 season (18-year-old first-team).

He has not been able to seize limited opportunities either this season or last season, and has contributed only 4 goals and 2 assists in the Premier League in the past two seasons. Gallish once emphasized that he did not need to use data to prove his value, and he did play a key role in the triple-championship two years ago (although he only participated in 13 goals in the season). But now it seems that he completely sacrificed his personal characteristics to cater to Guardiola's tactics, but in the end he got nothing.

pay the price for compromise

"I feel that Gallish suppresses his nature," Gallish's former teammate and close friend Mika Richards believes that the winger "plays too conservatively" under Guardiola's command.

The combination of Guardiola and Gallish always seemed out of place. The latter was the ultimate individualist during the Villa period. Gallish spent more than a year adapting to Guardiola's system. This compromise seemed worthwhile with the Champions League dream and the three-champion crown. His performance in the celebration became a legend, and the social media updates of "Hanging Paintings of the Louvre" and the funny "Feeding Turkey" were as memorable as the winning goal of the Rodri final.

But when he made changes to adapt to the tactics, he was waiting for Doku's joining - the Belgian was allowed to make a wanton breakthrough on the wing, which was exactly the style that Gallish had never been allowed. This season's joining Savio and the return of Gundogan further intensified the competition.

Guardiola rarely changes his mind

Guardiola insisted that Gallish just failed to meet the requirements, and he said coldly in January that Savio is "in better condition" and said: "He needs to compete for himself. I want the Gralish who won the triple-champion. I must face the reality honestly. He must prove that he is worthy of competing with Savio for this position, in daily, weekly, and monthly training. "

Guardiola emphasized again in February: "I'm sorry that his playing time may not be worthy of his strength, but in the final analysis, Doku and Savio contributed a huge contribution this season, which is the only reason, irrelevant to personal likes and dislikes or trust. "

But Guardiola has never changed his decision easily, and rarely gives players the opportunity to turn their image around and see what Cancelo, Ibrahimovic or Phillips has happened. It can be said that Gallish has gained more opportunities than others: Guardiola had a serious private conversation with him last summer, publicly promising that "Gallish will come back", but the recovery has never come, and now it is time to stop the loss.

Fight for the English seat

Gralish has one year left in his contract with Manchester City, and he has the right to fulfill his contract and receive his final salary. In view of his career decline in the past two years, few clubs are willing to match their existing salary.

But Gralish needs to give up a high salary to save his career, repeating Bale Real Madrid's mistake in the last year (to sit on the bench for making money) will be a huge waste.

Gralish, who will turn 30 in September, still has club and national team goals to chase. He has lost his position in England on March international matches, but Tuchel showed his willingness to give veterans a chance - Rashford and Henderson were re-recruited after their seemingly national team careers ended.

Following Rashford

Rashford is a case worth learning from. The striker regained his light on loan to Villa after leaving Manchester United, which is no longer favored. Asensio, who is the same age as Gallish, is also an example. Returning to the parent team Villa is ideal for Gallish, and Emery has proven to be good at activating sluggish stars.

But Gralish does not need to be limited to the Premier League. If he can perform well in La Liga or Serie A, Tuchel, who is closely following the European League, has no reason not to re-scort. There are even rumors that Gallish may land in the FA League, earn high salaries as a designated player, and explore business opportunities in the U.S. market - his interaction with American fans last season preseason predicts his off-court influence.

No matter where you choose, Gallish must leave Manchester City as soon as possible. As long as he accepts these frustrated years calmly and bids goodbye to Etihad forever, he still has time to save his career.
