It seems that playing with second-tier players will not make Manchester City lose against Chelsea and that is quite evident with the narrow victory that the Cityzen won. The only goal scored by Julian Alvarez in the 12th minute was also the winning goal for Manchester City at home. Without any gaps from Manchester City and with the solidity they have on all fronts, it is indeed very appropriate if they win the EPL this season.
Chelsea will still be the same if next season there is no improvement at all, but I think the arrival of Pochettino as the new coach for next season will have a significant impact on the development of the blues.
Manchester City still has a level of play above Chelsea in this match. Even though Manchester city plays more second tier players at their club. I think even next season Manchester will continue to achieve even more. This season the EPL trophy is in the hands of Man City. and now Man City also has the potential to get 2 other trophies. Namely from the FA Cup and Champions League.
Mauricio Pochettino, who looks like he will become the new coach for Chelsea next season, is expected to bring good changes to Chelsea next season. But I don't think Chelsea's problem is who is the coach at the club. But it all started in the transfer market before this season started. we know Chelsea was after many of the best star players at the moment. But unfortunately they always don't dare to pay higher than other clubs. So that Chelsea always loses in the competition for players. So my hope is that Chelsea can be bolder in making high offers for the players this club needs for next season. namely the next player transfer market.
