The beginning of Man City slump this season was due to several key players being injured, KDB had to enter the treatment room several times, Rodri also had to end the season early due to a serious injury he suffered. The absence of two attacking creators has made it difficult for Man City to retain their title and they are now fighting for a top four finish. In my opinion, it is not difficult for them to achieve this target, especially since they are currently only one point behind Chelsea.
We can identify their problems, when they lost these 2 players it was indeed a turning point for them to decline so our conclusion is that these two players are indeed the heart and soul of Manchester City's game. So they are like dependent on these two players so that in the end it makes them decline when both of them cannot play and when they return they are not yet at their best performance. Well from there the opponent also began to realize what they had to do, because so far the midfield has indeed influenced Manchester City's game.
Indeed, KDB and Rodri are the backbone of Man City from all indications because throughout their absence the team has been having terrible experiences of not performing well. This is very sad to appear under the leadership of Pep Guardiola, one of the best couches ever. This didn't suit his career because for long his reputation is always admired by many. Despite this situation, I still respected him because having a very beautiful long performance without any decline in the process, definitely we should give him benefit of doubts because he doesn't behave like this especially in Man City that he won everything for. He should still be appreciated for the good work he has done for the team. I still believe in him that he will try his best to fix Manchester City before his two years expire.
