In addition to City not being reinforced with new players, they also missed Alvarez, who wanted more playing time, and by the way, has already become one of the main players of Atletico. Maybe this is also a problem, because the players get tired of such a pace, they need rest or at least a change in some tournaments, and this leads to injuries like Rodri, then this affects the team's play even more, because perhaps Rodri was still quite important for Guardiola's team.
Well, that could also be the reason behind Manchester City's current decline in performance. It's just that I think more about mental fatigue for the Manchester City squad. Or maybe because Pep has completely lost focus on making a good strategy. Because usually Manchester City always plays well even though they only play second tier players. So I started to think the real problem could be Pep Guardiola. He has extended his contract at Manchester City until 2027. But I'm not sure whether he will really make as many achievements as in previous seasons. Pep seems to have given everything he has in previous seasons. And now maybe he is also quite tired mentally. And he started to lose focus in formulating formulas and strategies. Because it is impossible if the problem is with all the players. because usually a decrease in performance can only occur in some players and not other players. But what we see in Manchester City is that it looks like everything is experiencing a decline in performance.
