City problem started when Rodri was injured. After that, several players got injured, and City became a shadow of herself. Pep Gaurdiola also had marital issues which affect his psychologically. I believe all that bad experience is gone and the team will be back to their feet once more.
Next season will determine if City have really overcome their challenges and if they have picked form. Actually, I was happy that their dominance came to an end.
I saw that game, it was when they played Arsenal on the second leg isn’t it, where they resulted in a 2:2 draw if I’m not mistaken. That game showed the importance of Rodri and such a good job he was doing at that mid field. He seemed to have been controlling all of Manchester City games and with him out, every play was affected and even Haaland had such difficult times getting shots out or even having it on target.
I don’t think Manchester City would have that much difficulty this season, I see them having a great start.
What happened to Manchester City is distortion of their bond. It is not just about the absence of Rodri but it happened both Rodri and KDB became absent the same time. It was difficult for Guardiola to cope and when KDB returned, it was still difficult for him to cope.
Rodri seems to be the missing puzzle of Manchester city but I do not also believe that there is just only one way.
Guardiola is a big name in the industry, so he should have figured out another way to redeem Manchester city and not depend on the return of Rodri. Do not be deceived, Rodri can return today and still get injured tomorrow. That is why Guardiola has to figure out another way to solve Manchester City problem.
Meanwhile, if Manchester city doesn't perform well this season, we will not accept Rodri reasons. I personally will not welcome it. The Rodri problem just expired this season and that is it
