218 million euros were wasted? Manchester City signed 3 benches and 1 sleepwalking in the winter window. Even if you have money, you can t make this way

Football

In the early morning of May 18, the FA Cup final was staged at Wembley Stadium. Former European treble champion Manchester City lost to Crystal Palace 0-1 and missed the championship, and all four majors were gone this season. In this game, Manchester City introduced 4 players and 3 substitutes to be on standby in the winter window, and Marmush, the starter, also lost his penalty kick and performed poorly. The 218 million euros spent on them seem to be wasted.

In this game, new player Marmush started in the winter window but only had 3 shots and 1 direct shot, and conceded a penalty in the first half. In addition, the data of the Egyptian pharaoh's successful breakthrough, key pass, and successful top-scoring are all 0. After the game, he only scored the lowest 6.1 points in the team. Of course, this is not the true level of Marmush. After all, from the perspective of technical characteristics, he is not very consistent with Guardiola's tactical system.

In addition, Vittor Rez, Husanov and Nico Gonzalez are all on standby. Among them, Rez, who was signed by 37 million euros, has only played 3 games so far, and has only played for one minute on the bench. Husanov, who is 40 million euros, and Nico Gonzalez, who is 60 million euros, once played as the main player. The former scored 1 goal in 8 starts in 9 games, while Gonzalez scored 1 goal in 14 games.

However, in recent times, Husanov and Nico Gonzalez have been given out of the main lineup. The former has never had a chance to play since the FA Cup quarterfinals on March 30, while Gonzalez has only 2 substitutes in the last five games, which has a total of 2 minutes.

From the perspective of technical characteristics, Husanov is relatively technically difficult to adapt to Guardiola's tactical playing style, while Nico Gonzalez is more like Guardiola hurriedly bought to fill the vacancy of Rodri. Once the latter returns, Gonzalez, who is worth 60 million euros, is expected to be the only one who lives as a substitute. After all, Manchester City is still eyeing Wilz, Gibbs White and Reindez. Once they join, Gonzalez will be fine.

In other words, the four new players signed by Manchester City spent 218 million euros in the winter window may just be disposable items in Guardiola's eyes. In Manchester City's upcoming major blood exchange plan, they have no exception to their future. To be honest, Guardiola has indeed made outstanding contributions in Manchester City in recent years, but this is also due to the unconditional trust and infinite financial support of the club owners and senior management. But no matter how rich a club is, it cannot be built like this. Guardiola's two-year contract renewal seems to be commendable, but in fact she just wants to regain her reputation by buying and buying.
