Guardiola will try to find new players who can replace some of the vacant positions left by his former players after choosing to go to another club. It is not difficult for Guardiola to find new players because he really understands the character of players who can be trusted to be an important part of his team.
Guardiola already prepared such option. The leave from silva and mahrez gonna be inevitable. I think that any players will always be interesting to join in a club that can be considered as the best club in the world right now.
Manchester city gonna face sevilla and i think that city gonna get another trophy again.
Defending the title is not as easy as we say, even though Manchester City is very much closer to the potential for a trophy. But regarding the Champions League it feels quite difficult, it's not just about the ideal squad. At a time when several players who have helped Manchester City win trophies are now moving clubs, the game system will change slightly, even though options have been prepared. Picking up the UCL trophy next season is like rolling the dice. Therefore this competition is difficult to maintain, only a few clubs have won it successively and even then with a fairly long process.
I'll tell you what I think. You know how in chess, when you lose your queen, the game becomes ten times harder? That's what Manchester City is facing now. Players like Mahrez, Silva, Walker are leaving, Gundogan has joined Barcelona, it's a bit like a bee hive that's lost its queen.
Yes, I know Pep Guardiola can bring in new players according to his system. He's got the finances for it. But, is the system everything? I don't think so. Defending the UCL title is like trying to win a lottery twice, very few have done it. So, despite their competent team squad and Pep's tactical brilliance, I'm a bit skeptical about their chances this time around.
