Man City are in excellent form this season. Is it possible for them to win the Champions League?

With Manchester City's form this season, they are very likely to win the Champions League.

There are several problems that Manchester City has been unable to avoid in the Champions League over the past few years, or the root causes of their elimination:

The quality of the backcourt, specifically the personal abilities of the central defender and single midfielder ;

The old and new coordination issues between Jesus and Aguero;

What to do with people who are useful to the system but have different styles (Sane, Walker);

< p>There is no absolute strong point other than the boss, and the boss himself has declined a lot

For example, the existence of Manchester City's backcourt technical group is Guardiola's personal preference, and at the same time, it is also the lack of strength in the frontcourt. The reason is: there are butchers in the backcourt, and the frontcourt can’t lead at all, it’s that simple

So after the boss withered last season, Guardiola’s superstition of the ball-playing central defender reached a new height. West Asia gained absolute trust, but the past happened again, and the technical backcourt group played Manchester City again.

So I think regarding Manchester City’s backcourt problems in the past few years, you can blame Guardiola for being paranoid about technical players (or midfield elements). At the same time, there are too many good players in the team but not good ones. Not strong enough. In the final analysis, it has something to do with today's withering talent and Manchester City's money (of course if you have money, you have to be ripped off)

But what was Manchester City's biggest gain last season? In the two more classic games, the first round of the league against Chelsea and the first round of the Champions League against Real Madrid, Manchester City won both games by relying on counterattacks. This is completely different from the Manchester City and Guardiola that fans are familiar with

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not about sectarian play. I never like the so-called defensive counterattack style. What I like is what suits a team. A winning style of play

Technical teams squat in the low post and counterattack. This is different from our usual understanding. Generally speaking, we think that anti-counterattack teams tend to use goalkeeper + iron guard + animal waist + quickness. Horse + high center forward, Manchester City seems to meet very few requirements

Indeed, in the past, Manchester City would not be able to defend against counterattacks if they really played defense. After all, the hard power in the backcourt is there, but as mentioned before Yes, where the weak team's strong point is placed will have the greatest impact. In other words, isn't it the most important element of defending against counterattacks?

Whether it is a fulcrum center, a regista, or ala tornante, in the final analysis it is a means of advancement, and what are the characteristics of Manchester City?

Guardiola's team never has to worry about technical ability. Basically everyone in Manchester City has skills at their feet, which means excellent two-point ball control on the defensive end, coupled with speed and finishing in the frontcourt, which means that if Manchester City recycles, it will not be like some teams that lack propulsion. At the same time, the greater space for counterattacks is also a big plus for Manchester City, which is unable to attack after the boss's sluggishness.

This season’s Manchester City is truly a year worth looking forward to the Champions League:

Compared with the 18th and 19th consecutive Premier League championships, the quality of the personnel in the core area of ??the backcourt has improved by more than one factor. Grade;

Compared to Manchester City, which launched a technical counterattack last season, the routine of Jesus in the frontcourt + support in the back has already gained momentum (to attack difficulties);

Gündogan has a tough battle. Performance is questionable, but Manchester City has introduced an additional midfielder - Ferran Torres;

The top quality of household registration among Premier League teams;

To put it bluntly, in fact Manchester City will be better if Zinchink is replaced by Ake. The latter's full center back characteristics are the answer to truly fill the backcourt level

I hope Guardiola can really take this step.
