After Manchester City s first round start, Guardiola is still dissatisfied?

On the second match day after the start of the five major leagues in the new season, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Bayern, Barcelona and other giants made their debut. The most dazzling record is Manchester City, which had a sluggish record last season, beat Wolves 4-0 away and achieved a good start to the season. Although Manchester City's internal running-in situation has not yet reached its best, it is enough to regain confidence among fans. However, coach Guardiola seems not satisfied enough. He believes that the team's lineup is still not "healthy" enough and needs further loss.

Looking back at this game, compared to the big victory, the new player Reindes, who scored one goal and one assist, may be happier for Manchester City fans. The midfielder's debut was almost perfect, especially the first goal to instigate Manchester City to break the deadlock, which can be said to fully demonstrate his personal ability and passing vision. What is even more amazing is that this old AC Milan player completed the transformation from "not adapting to the local environment" to "tactical core" in just 7 weeks.

French genius Serky, who appeared as a substitute, was also shining. After replacing Haaland in the 73rd minute, he calmly shot against four people at the front of the penalty area, using a "crotch-breaking goal" to end the game. Coupled with the steady save from goalkeeper Trafford, Manchester City's new caller's performance as a peak in his debut proves the value of the club's investment.

However, under the joy of victory, Guardiola felt more and more crisis. After the game, he said bluntly: "There are too many people, it's not just about Ederson, but today there are Rodri, Foden, Kovacic, Savigno and Gwadior. We also have Ak and Gundogan on the bench. I like to bring a team of thickness to all the events, but I don't want the players to stay at home, which is unhealthy. You can't create a good competitive atmosphere."

Guardiola asked the club management to find a way to streamline the team before the transfer window is closed. He said: "The club has been aware of this problem since last season, but the reality is. In the next two weeks, the club will communicate with players and agents to find solutions. We must reduce the lineup, otherwise it will be difficult to maintain a good atmosphere for the team."

It is worth mentioning that currently there are as many as 30 first-teams in Manchester City, far exceeding the registration limit of 25 players in the Premier League. This bloat not only caused some players to be unable to enter the roster for several consecutive months, but also developed a "lying flat" mentality in the locker room. However, according to British media reports, several players have entered the countdown to leave the team, including Phillips, Ortega, Ederson and Savigno.

If these transactions can be completed before the transfer window is closed, Manchester City will not only free up a certain amount of salary space, but also free up registration places for target players such as Donnarumma. As Guardiola said: "A healthy lineup is not a pile of people, but allows every player to feel the desire to play."

Manchester City, which used to spend money like money in the transfer market, has now begun to take the cost-effective route. After a frustrated season, can Guardiola's redemption journey start smoothly?
