But De Bruyne is also an indispensable factor in the squad. This is the leading midfield duo in the world at the moment, with one inclined towards attack and the other inclined toward defense. Extremely compatible with each other. The warning for Man City is their dependence on Rodri and De Bruyne.
It seems a little disagree with some of these words because for me Pep Guardiola or Manchester City never depends on the great players you mentioned because for me Manchester City is the most solid club among other clubs almost all players contribute and become part of the players who can be relied upon like Bernardo Silva and Phil Foden.
Some of the players I mentioned are only a small part of the whole Manchester City player who is always ready and very reliable without having to rely on or depend on just a few players.
Pep Guardiola had rotated players very well when De Bruyne was injured and also Haaland suffered an injury but it turns out the results are still very good at that time.
It is not true. Did you know that the city's performance dropped significantly in the middle of the season when it was missing a lot of its key players? This also occurred when De Bruyne and several other good players were sidelined due to injury and they were going out for months. It also caused Manchester City's performance to deteriorate significantly even it was always almost losing against mediocre club. and city was always able to win against mediocre teams with a narrow margin.
I believe that not everything you said above was true. The facts have said the opposite. I remember when some key players were injured and the city relied solely on Foden and Rodri to win the game. Alvarez did not make a significant contribution to the city's three-point victory against various clubs at the middle of season.
That being said, Manchester City was unable to win many games without the assistance of some key players and it has proven so many times in the various matches. It is caused by Manchester City's attacking power being centralized in Haaland and De Bruyne. This combination has made any club afraid to confront it.
Even Real Madrid were humiliated by Manchester City last season, which is hard to deny.
