Not Rodri, not Haaland, is Manchester City relying on him?

The new season of the Premier League is about to begin, and Manchester City has embarked on a new journey with a huge question mark.

The core framework is shaken, Manchester City is in crisis, De Bruyne and Walker leave the team, Rodri suffered consecutive injuries, Gundogan has faded out of the main lineup, and Haaland's role in a system that focuses on transmission and control... In the 2025/26 season, Manchester City will officially bid farewell to the era of "triple crown" and usher in a new era of reconstruction around new players. While promoting the reshuffle of the lineup, Guardiola continued the successful model of building a ball control system around tall players. Gvadiola, Rodri and Haaland are considered the backbone of the new lineup. They are responsible for ensuring the team's "lower limit", and the team's upper limit must be explored by new players.

Rodri's physical condition is doubtful, and Serky's status is becoming increasingly important.

The new aid team quickly "divided", and the absolute core surfaced. Manchester City has introduced 11 players in the last two windows. Among the new aids who came to the winter window, only Marmush was reused, Husanov and Nico Gonzalez have become marginal players, and Vitor Rez and Echeveri were even loaned out. The tactical status of several new players in the summer window is different. Ait Nuri is the wing player responsible for playing support. The 27-year-old Reindes's skills have basically been finalized, and the 21-year-old Serky is the biggest hope of this team.

The three strong supporters in the summer window, Serky is the most important.

Taking over the No. 10 player left by Gallish, Serki will play the role of Gundogan in the past. This player with an "unpredictable" ball path will become a decision maker around the center and promote the implementation of Guardiola's tactical concept on the court. In order to relieve Sherky's pressure, Manchester City is still striving to win Rodrigo, and the combined effect of the two players is worth looking forward to.
