This match, before the game, many media outlets predicted that Manchester City would lose.

These media outlets now predict matches without even considering the lineups and forms of the two sides.

As long as it's a Manchester City match, they'll try every possible way to find a reason to report that Manchester City is going to lose.

Why?

Because they'll get criticized, because it will attract a lot of fan discussion.

What's the point of predicting a win?

Opinions must be unique and stand out to sell more.

This season, Manchester City is indeed invincible in the Premier League.

More people are looking forward to Manchester City's performance in the Champions League.

If Manchester City can really take the Champions League title in one go, then they will be truly invincible!

And the strength of Manchester City's winter transfer signings shows their ambition.

But one thing is very disadvantageous to them, and that is a UEFA rule that a player can only play in European competitions for one team in a season.

Sane and Kyle Walker cannot participate in Manchester City's Champions League matches!

This is also one of the reasons why many players are unwilling to transfer in the winter window.

Not only players, but most teams don't want to let go of their main players at this time.

This is why Manchester City was so busy and only signed three players.

Among them, Jesus and Sane were already in contact last summer. Jesus was reserved by Guardiola to come to the Etihad in January.

Sane was temporarily shelved because of Zhao Gang.

At most, only Kyle Walker was truly transferred during the winter window.

It was also because Tottenham Hotspur was eliminated from the Europa League, Kyle Walker wanted to leave, and Manchester City gave too much, which led to this deal.

The other players Guardiola was interested in were certainly willing to come to Manchester City, but they hoped to talk after the summer window opened.

After all, once they arrive at Manchester City, they will not be able to play in European competitions, they will have very little exposure, and they will lose a very good competitive opportunity.

Players all hope to be able to show their strength on a better stage, get more attention with their perfect performance, and get more salary, bonuses and endorsements.

Coming to Manchester City, this season is wasted.

Wasting a season for nothing.

So Manchester City waved banknotes and bought people everywhere, and in the end only bought one Kyle Walker in substance.

This is already very difficult.

And this can only improve their competitive level in the Premier League, League Cup and FA Cup.

In the Champions League, they still have to use the original lineup.

And the injuries of Aguero, Gundogan and Silva have a very big impact on Manchester City.

Jesus has just arrived in Europe, and whether he can adapt in the Champions League is a question mark.

With the restart of European competitions imminent, Manchester City's lineup problem has naturally become the focus of media discussion.

This time, the reasons for being bearish on Manchester City are justified!

"After welcoming new players, Manchester City seems to have no rivals in the Premier League. They once again easily defeated Tottenham Hotspur.

Winning against Tottenham twice this season is a small record that has not been achieved in the last ten years.

The double victory over Tottenham is due to Manchester City's most successful signing this season. Looking at it now, it is likely to be the most successful signing in Manchester City's history.

Seventy million pounds brought the Championship's super rookie Zhao Gang to the Etihad.

This transfer, which broke the Premier League record for player purchases, seemed like a dirty deal where Guardiola ate his brother's kickbacks at the time.

Many people call it a robbery.

Looking at it now, Manchester City did rob Norwich, and Perrin may have also eaten Manchester City's kickbacks before selling Zhao Gang to Manchester City at such a low price.

Real Madrid is willing to buy Zhao Gang for 270 million, and after being rejected by Manchester City, Real Madrid is still not giving up. In the winter transfer window, when Guardiola hoped to introduce Real Madrid player Danilo, Florentino hoped to exchange Zhao Gang's transfer for 270 million euros plus Danilo, and agreed that Zhao Gang would leave Manchester City to join Real Madrid in the summer window.

It is equivalent to giving away a Danilo who is very optimistic about Guardiola for nothing.

As a result, Manchester City remained unmoved.

It can be seen that Manchester City and Real Madrid recognize Zhao Gang to a great extent.

This season, Manchester City has only lost one game under the leadership of Zhao Gang. In fact, that Champions League game was played by Manchester City's third team, and it was more like a friendly match.

This is a terrifying fact.

Of course, in a world of light, there are still invisible shadows hidden.

Manchester City's defense has always had a lot of hidden dangers, and this is likely to be fatal in the upcoming Champions League games.

At the same time, Aguero and Silva will not be able to play in the first leg of the Champions League knockout round, and Gundogan will be out for the season.

New players cannot appear in the Champions League, and Manchester City's current depleted lineup is likely to collapse against the extremely impactful Monaco.

Once they are eliminated, then all their highlights this season are not worth mentioning."

"They were already the Premier League champions. If they are eliminated in the round of 16 of the Champions League, it would be better than their Champions League performance last season. The invincible performance in the Premier League will not only not add points to them, but will make people laugh."

"Yes, this may be the biggest crisis they face this season. Against Monaco, they are short of troops and generals. With the impact of Monaco's front line, and with the defensive personnel that Manchester City can play, it is estimated that they will not be able to last long.

And they have lost three main players in the frontcourt, and the attack has been greatly reduced. Manchester City is really in danger."

"Jesus is adapting to Manchester City's rhythm, but without Zhao, he is a waste. He has no strength to gain a foothold in the Premier League, let alone compete in the stronger Champions League.

So I think Manchester City is going to be eliminated."

This report made Jesus so angry that his lungs were about to explode.

But he didn't have any good way. The only way was to prove himself in the game, keep scoring goals, and tell everyone that he could not only gain a foothold in the Premier League, but also become the core of Manchester City's front line and completely replace Aguero!

Without Zhao, I'm a waste?

In the next game, I'll show you my strength!

I will definitely beat your mouth crooked!

South American players have a natural arrogance in football, and seeing this written has a huge impact on him.

Before the start of the Champions League knockout round, Manchester City has another Premier League game.

February 11th, the twenty-fifth round of the Premier League.

Manchester City sits at home to face the visiting Wolves, which is also Manchester City's only not-so-difficult game this month.

Guardiola made adjustments to the lineup.

Because the Champions League game is the top priority.

He排出了本赛季从未有过的442阵型.

The front line consists of Sterling and Jesus.

The midfielders are De Bruyne, Delph, Fernando, and Sane.

On the defensive line are Sagna, Zabaleta, the returning Kompany, and Kyle Walker.

As a result, facing the mid-range Wolves, Manchester City's teammates, who are not very familiar with each other, were almost fighting on their own in the first half.

Except for De Bruyne, who can pass a few beautiful balls, the rest of the midfielders and forwards are messing around with the ball.

Sterling desperately needs to maintain his form and continue to secure his starting position with his performance. Delph came on as a substitute, and of course he also needs to show his performance.

Jesus and Sane, needless to say, Jesus is holding back a lot of energy, determined to prove himself.

Without Zhao Gang, Sane is just letting the sheep out on the field. He has become the strongest breaking point in the midfield, and he doesn't need to pass the ball to others. Anyway, the core is not on the field, I am the core!

These people on the field kicked Guardiola into a daze.
