Pep Guardiola has acknowledged a shift in how teams approach Manchester City, stating that opponents are no longer intimidated and are pressing his side more aggressively. This change poses a threat to City’s Champions League hopes, as they currently sit fifth in the Premier League. Guardiola noted that City’s struggles stem from not using the ball effectively rather than running statistics. With a significant investment in new talent, he insists that tactical adaptation and improved ball control are essential to reclaim their dominant form.
Everyone came to the Etihad and stayed back. The first team I saw man-marking was Neil Warnock at Cardiff. Now everyone does it.
Speed is important but against PSG we ran more than them. Our problem is with the ball. This season it is what we have missed.
