In the recent fixtures, Manchester City has quietly regained its form, remaining unbeaten in five consecutive league matches and securing victories in three of them. This has significantly improved their position on the Premier League table, bringing them within striking distance of returning to the top four. Even compared to the league leaders, Guardiola's team is only 12 points behind. Considering Manchester City's "epic" performances in the second half of previous seasons, it is not impossible for them to make a strong comeback if their competitors falter. At the same time, in order to achieve their goal of a comeback, Manchester City has also shown remarkable efficiency in their transfer market acquisitions. Three signings have been finalized since the transfer window opened. Manchester City's transfer operations have demonstrated a "steady, accurate, and fierce" approach. They first secured the young central defender Kusano from Lorient, who stands at only 1.86 meters tall but possesses excellent defensive awareness and can play multiple positions including right-back and defensive midfield, significantly enhancing the depth of Manchester City's midfield and defense. This transfer has already been officially announced. Meanwhile, Manchester City quickly secured Vitor Roos from Palmeiras. The Brazilian U17 international has established himself as a key player this season and is considered one of the most promising players in world football. Subsequently, Manchester City also acquired Malmoosh, for which they paid a transfer fee of 80 million euros. This makes him the "top signing" of the transfer period so far. While most major clubs are still waiting to make moves, Manchester City's speed in…

As one of the top teams in world football, Manchester City has experienced a significant decline in performance this season. This has led to a strong desire among some players to leave the club. One such player is Walker, the team's captain who has been instrumental in their treble-winning success. Despite starting in 11 matches this season, Walker is keen on leaving during the winter transfer window for free. He is aware that Manchester City will soon undergo a rebuilding phase, which would limit his future opportunities within the team. Consequently, he has initiated discussions with several Serie A clubs, expressing his willingness to significantly reduce his salary to play in Italy. Walker currently earns a hefty weekly wage of £170,000 at Manchester City. Therefore, his decision to leave and join the Italian league necessitates a substantial pay cut, making him an attractive signing prospect for interested clubs. Initially, it was rumored that AC Milan would secure Walker's services, significantly bolstering their squad. However, there has been a major twist in events, as Inter Milan has swiftly moved to intercept Milan and sign the top-tier defender. Walker's wife also wishes for him to leave England due to their previous divorce case, which has been a considerable source of distress for them. Moving abroad to play football is something she hopes for, and they plan to live together in Milan, a goal that Walker shares. Inter Milan's successful interception is indeed commendable, as Walker's decision to forego a high salary ensures that he can remain a key player for the team…

As a world-class powerhouse team, Manchester City has always had an impressive track record. However, this season has been challenging due to internal squad issues and tactical shortcomings within the team. This has led to a noticeable decline in their performance, and as the season comes to an end, it's clear that Manchester City will embark on a rebuilding phase. Consequently, some players within the squad are facing the prospect of leaving the club. One such player is the esteemed veteran, Walker, who has recently been at the center of controversy. The Manchester City fans have not been entirely satisfied with his performances. Additionally, the relationship between Walker and Pep Guardiola has become very tense, to the point where they have fallen out. This season, Walker has started in 11 matches, and by the winter transfer window, he proactively approached Guardiola to express his desire to leave. Guardiola subsequently announced in an interview: "Walker told me two days ago that he will be leaving Manchester City to play overseas until his retirement." The parting between Walker and Guardiola has now become inevitable. This three-time champion for Manchester City hopes to find a more relaxed environment to enjoy the remainder of his career and earn a living, rather than continuing to play under the high-pressure circumstances at Manchester City, where his relationship with Guardiola has soured. Remaining at the club would likely result in him becoming a substitute player in the future. Therefore, while he still has the capability, it would be better for him to seek stable opportunities abroad. AC…

After taking over the team, although AC Milan has put on an impressive performance in the cup matches, their state has shown some ups and downs when returning to the league. Currently, the Rossoneri are still nearly a double-digit point difference away from the top four. Coach Conceicao needs to quickly adapt to the rhythm of Serie A to ensure that the team finishes in the top four at the end of the season. At the same time, AC Milan's actions in this transfer window have been very swift, with the potential to complete three very important transfer signings. In defense, AC Milan has conceded 18 goals this season, with an average of 1 goal per game, and the team's average number of tackles is 12.8, ranking sixteenth in the league. This efficiency is not particularly ideal. Especially considering the team's need to catch up in the second half of the season, management needs to "upgrade" the defense. Among them, Emerson's performance at right-back has been very disappointing. Although he has good physical conditions, as a defensive player, Emerson is at an "unqualified" level in terms of positional sense, teamwork, and tackling and interception skills. Recently, Conceicao has been trying to re启用 Calabria, but the team captain has also failed to deliver a convincing performance. In this situation, the right-back position has been regarded by Conceicao as a top priority for reinforcement. According to L'Équipe, AC Milan views Kyle Walker as a key signing for this position. This season, due to poor performances by both the team and himself, Kyle…

For Manchester City, due to the team's obvious downward trend this season, a complete rebuild has actually begun. After the transfer window opened, Manchester City took the lead among all major clubs, operating multiple important signings simultaneously. At present, after the transfer of Kusano is basically settled, their adjustments on the forward line and defensive line are still ongoing, with at least two important signings expected to be completely finalized in a short time. In the eyes of outsiders, Manchester City has fallen into its biggest trough in recent years, which can be traced back to earlier signs. On the one hand, since last season, the team's injuries have become increasingly serious, mainly because many of the main players' physical functions have passed their peak with age, making them susceptible to injuries in high-intensity and high-density matches; On the other hand, some core-level players have shown a significant decline in form, making it difficult for them to meet Guardiola's tactical requirements. In this situation, last season's Manchester City actually showed signs of being "at the end of its strength." This season, Rodri's injury became the straw that broke the camel's back. According to The Telegraph, two key players could leave the Etihad Stadium in this transfer window. First is Kyle Walker. It cannot be denied that during his peak, Kyle Walker was one of the most outstanding right-backs in European football, excelling both in defensive recovery and in assisting attacks. However, since last season, Kyle Walker's performance has taken a sharp turn for the worse, becoming the most obvious weakness…

The winter transfer window is approaching, and the European top five leagues are about to reach the halfway point of the season. In the major European football giants, some players have swept away the gloom of last season and re-proven themselves, such as Chelsea's Enzo, Mudrik, and Manchester United's Diao stars. However, many stars have experienced a cliff-like decline in performance and are likely to be kicked out by their teams. Manchester United - Rashford As a prodigy from Manchester United's youth training, Rashford holds a special place in the hearts of Manchester United fans, and he has always been one of the core players at Manchester United, with a very stable position. However, after contributing "30+9" in the 2022-2023 season, he quickly declined in the following two seasons, scoring only 7 goals this season, which does not match his high salary of 320,000 pounds. Worse still, recently, the conflict between him and head coach Amorim escalated rapidly, with the latter believing that he was not actively participating in the game and being benched for four consecutive games. The 27-year-old Rashford responded defiantly, publicly stating that he was ready to leave Manchester United and embrace new challenges. This has caused a stir, and Rashford has gradually become a marginal figure at Manchester United. The club's management has also decided to clean up Rashford and warned other players within the team that if they do not train hard and pay attention to their behavior, Rashford will serve as a warning to them. Arsenal - Zinchenko In July 2022, Arsenal spent 35…

If it weren't for the last-minute goal conceded, Manchester City would have welcomed a long-awaited big win. In the 20th round of the Premier League against West Ham United, it was their first time in recent weeks to achieve two consecutive victories, with City's points reaching 34, and the team's form looking to be improving. However, it is somewhat regrettable that City ultimately failed to keep a clean sheet, conceding a goal in the 71st minute, resulting in a 4-1 outcome. And all this began with Guardiola's two substitutions. Guardiola brought on Gundogan and Walker in the 61st minute when the team was already leading by four goals. Their entry did not continue City's good form but instead gave West Ham United an opportunity. Gundogan's current ability to intercept in midfield has significantly declined, and Walker's speed can no longer be his greatest advantage. Just three minutes after coming on, Walker received a yellow card for a foul, giving the opponent a well-positioned free-kick from which Paqueta almost helped West Ham United change the score. Ten minutes after Walker and Gundogan came on, City's midfield was completely penetrated by three passes from West Ham United. Walker's defensive speed did not pose much of a restriction to the opponents, and Soucek's pass allowed Firkruge to make a central run and change the score. This goal conceded saw neither Walker nor Gundogan play their roles effectively, and the mentioned goal conceded and yellow card were just a microcosm of their entire game, especially Walker, whose role at City has clearly diminished, and…

Manchester City has recently been in a dire situation, losing matches left and right since the past few months. They can't even defeat relegation-threatened teams, causing Pep Guardiola to be constantly worried and frustrated, and the fans are so angry they want to swear. This once-mighty club now seems like a pile of mud, unable to get up. Kyle Walker used to be fast and tough in defense, but now he's just like an old man, strolling around on the field. When opponents speed up, they leave him three meters behind, making people anxious. His condition is getting worse day by day. Bayern Munich wanted to sign him last season, but Guardiola insisted on keeping him. Now, this decision seems to have backfired. Every time Walker steps onto the field, it's like a ticking time bomb, ready to cause an own goal for the team at any moment. This veteran is now struggling with basic defense. When opponents make a slight move, he can't keep up with the rhythm. The clean tackles he used to make are gone, replaced by various pulling and tugging fouls. Fans are furious at his performance, with constant criticism on social media, demanding that he be sold as soon as possible. This state is indeed untenable, and he is becoming less and less helpful to the team. Walker is now just a decoration, barely able to serve as a substitute. Every time he plays, it's a disaster. There are countless defensive lapses, and offensively, he can't even make a decent cross. His salary is not…
