Perhaps what happens to Manchester City this season will be very different from last season, because this season several underdog teams have also undergone changes and could even become stronger this season. So, Manchester City's journey this season won't be easy, although I personally still believe Manchester City will be a team that will return to strength this season. However, the obstacles this season will truly create excessive difficulties for any team, so the players and coaches will have to fight harder this season.
It seems to me, correct me if i am wrong, that this season Pep Guardiola has decided to get serious, no jokes. First, he signed Donnarumma from PSG, and that certainly had both a financial and an image cost.
Second, i see that he is revolutionizing his strategies a little.
