The revolution of Manchester City: Guardiola completely changes, ends the legendary era, and creates a new lineup

Major changes in the summer transfer market in Manchester City. The roster now directed by Joseph Guardiola looks very different from last year.

At the Etihad Stadium, many veterans left. Meanwhile, a series of new names appear in the new chapter of this English Big Mac Club.

Since the transfer window opened, activities in the city market have been very intense. Preparing for the FIFA Club World Cup is one of the factors driving this rapid action. The dramatic scene took place at the last moment of the transfer window. Gianluigi Donaluma's deal from Paris Saint-Germain and Ederson Borussia Monchengladbach's trip to Fenerbahce adds color to the final transfer market.

Manuel Akanji joins Inter Milan in a surprising transfer. Meanwhile, it is reported that Ilkay Gundogan is about to wear Galatasaray's jersey. This massive change marks the beginning of a new generation transition period for Manchester City headquarters.

Key issues are now on the surface. Is Manchester City's strength enough to compete in top competition, or is this bold decision creating dangerous loopholes?

Invest 220 million pounds to recruit seven new employees

Manchester City invested about 220 million pounds and introduced seven players. The rosters joined include Tyani Reindez, Ryan Cherki, Ryan Atururi, James Travers, Jan Luigi Donnarumma, Marcus Betinelli and Svery Niban.

However, Manchester City also let go of several important players. Kyle Walker, Ederson, Manuel Akanji, James McCarty, Yaན Cootto and Massimo Perone officially left the club. The club's revenue from player sales reached £80 million. If Gondogan's transfer is really realized, this number may increase.

The most eye-catching change appears in the goalkeeper position. The arrival of Donnarumma and Truan ended Ederson's long-time captainship at Manchester City.

Guardiola successfully completed the goalkeeper's replacement during the transfer window. However, there is another aspect in the team's transformation plan that has not yet been touched.

City chooses not to recruit new right backs. The reason is that no candidate meets the criteria expected by management.

This decision may be the key to the success or failure of a proposed transfer strategy.

New Era: The departure of the elderly and the arrival of the young

This personnel transfer activity has truly completely changed Manchester City's lineup. Many players over the age of 30 were let go, including Walker (35), De Bruyne (34), Gundogan (34), Ederson (32) and Akange (30).

Jack Grelish will turn 30 soon. This shows the huge change that has happened to the team.

Now, only Bernardo Silva and John Stones remain in the 2017/2018 season 100-point legend. Matteo Kovacic and Nathan Ak are one of the few veterans over 30 years old still on the team.

The impact of this change is bringing new energy to the City team. Despite concerns about lack of experience, a new generation replacement is considered necessary to avoid team stagnation.

Guardiola hopes to prevent the team from getting mentally tired. This could happen if the same player continues to play for a long time. The transition period is faster than the original long-term plan. However, a clear signal has been sent: a new cycle in Manchester City has officially begun.

Guardiola's philosophy: team building for clear roles

Guardiola had previously stated that he wanted to have a streamlined lineup. He believes having too many options is not healthy for the team’s dynamics.

In this case, it may leave experienced international players as only audiences. This is certainly not an ideal state for the overall development of the team.

The massive outflow at the final stage of the transfer market helped to achieve this vision. Now, Guardiola has greater freedom in adjusting the lineup.

Every player also feels that he has an important and clear role in the team. This is expected to improve individual motivation and performance.

Tiajani Reindez is by far the most popular new player. He was impressive at the club's World Cup and continued to play against Wolves in the Premier League, scoring a goal and giving an assist.

Rean Cherki and Rean Et Nuri also brought new dimensions to Manchester City's game. The creativity and dribbling ability of the two brought fresh colors to the offensive and defensive lines.

However, Guardiola realized that it is not enough to have personal qualities to achieve success. The team's mentality issues and the fragility of the defense line are still a fearful shadow.

These factors will determine whether the project will be smooth or obstacles
