In the opening game of the new season of Premier League, Manchester City beat Wolves 1-0 away, not only winning the first victory of the season, but this tactical adjustment also looks quite successful. The Wolves' home court, Molyneux Stadium, was so enthusiastic that Manchester City managed to with a steady victory, which also made everyone see that their goals this season are extraordinary. Behind this victory, on the one hand, Guardiola made a flexible adjustment when the main midfielder Rodri was injured; on the other hand, the young players and the new foreign players cooperated well, and the integration was very natural.
The critical moment of the game appeared in the 63rd minute, and the new arrival of Ryandes "opened" directly on the right - this guy was able to play as soon as he came, and he was not at all stage frightened, and played well in the Premier League.
His breakthrough and passing on the right are simply the "key" to tear open the Wolves' defense line.
First, he changed direction and passed Neves on the right back of the Wolves, then made a precise cross to find his teammate who was inserted into the front point, and the assist was successful. According to the data, he had one key pass in the whole game, with a pass success rate of up to 92%. Although he made 4 mistakes, this is nothing to his offensive contribution in this game - he proved with his performance that he could fully integrate into Manchester City's style of play, and also created many more offensive opportunities for young players.
Rodri is not here, and the 21-year-old Norwegian teenager Nico has become the biggest highlight.
He played in the midfield in the three central defender system, and his defensive end was stable, with 3 steals, 1 interception, and 2 clearances, defending the midfield line; he was also able to run on the offensive end, with 4 passes and a success rate of 92.3%, which directly became the core of the team's offensive and defensive transformation.
Especially when the Wolves counterattacked at the end of the game, he broke the opponent's good opportunity to counterattack in the middle, and saved the victory.
All of this is attributed to Guardiola's tactical adjustments.
Rodri is not there, so Manchester City will play three central defenders instead. Silva is responsible for organizing and dispatching on the left, Ryandes is a "wing attacker" on the right, and Nico connects offense and defense in the middle.
After this division of labor, Manchester City's midfielder has both width and depth: Silva has experience and brains, Ryandes can break through and run, Nico is versatile and energetic, these three people complement each other, just filling in the vacancy of Rodri's absence.
In fact, there are so many talents in Manchester City's midfielders that they are about to "explode". In addition to Ryandes and Nico, Kvasic, Cherki, Marmush are also in the team. In addition to Gundogan, Savigno and Foden, Guardiola has several different midfield combinations.
Behind this, it may be that Rodri will be prepared in advance if he leaves - Real Madrid has always wanted Rodri before, not blindly spreading, and Manchester City definitely doesn't want to put all hope on one core.
Now that new midfield forces are emerging, no matter what changes are going on in the future, Manchester City will have the confidence to deal with them.
However, this victory also caused the transfer market to start.
Before AC Milan sold Ryandes for 70 million euros, and many fans thought this operation was too "shortsighted" - think about it, Ryandes already had the potential of a top midfielder when he was in Eindhoven. After coming to Manchester City, he adapted so quickly and sold him for 70 million euros. This price is obviously too low for his current performance and future potential. It can also be seen that AC Milan is too anxious to transfer, only looking at the immediate interests.
Next, Manchester City will go back to home to play Tottenham. This game is the "touchstone" to test whether the three central defenders system is good.
If we can continue to win, Manchester City will have hope this season, not only to win the Champions League championship that has been lost for a long time, but also to defend the Premier League.
Now, Manchester City's lineup is not only deeper than before, but also has always improved its tactics, and it is definitely more confident to compete for the championship in multiple lines.
For fans, the happiest thing is definitely to see young players growing slowly and new foreign players can play well, which is the most exciting thing.
