For Manchester City, after the glory of winning the Premier League four times in a row last season, the team's state has taken a big nosedive this season. The main reason is Rodri's serious injury and the aging of the main lineup. Even a coach as strong as Pep Guardiola cannot stop the continuous decline of Manchester City. In the last 14 matches in various competitions, Manchester City only won 2 games and lost 9 of them, with all-round collapses in various records, making Manchester City fans very worried. However, with the opening of the winter transfer window, Manchester City has ushered in a great opportunity to make up for loopholes. In the current squad of Manchester City, there are as many as 9 players aged 30 or above, including De Bruyne at the age of 33. After recovering from injuries this season, his form has declined, lacking the style of being the world's best midfielder during his peak period, leaving only frequent mistakes and struggling steps. De Bruyne's contract expires this summer, and Manchester City has not yet negotiated a renewal contract with him. Judging from Manchester City's current performance, it is highly likely that De Bruyne will leave the team this summer. It is reported that multiple teams from Saudi Arabia and the MLS are interested in introducing De Bruyne. Since Gundogan returned to Manchester City from Barcelona, his state has been average, scoring only 2 goals and 1 assist in 24 appearances in various events. Gundogan's contract also expires this summer, and the probability of him continuing…

On the early morning of December 30th, Beijing time, the 19th round of the Premier League kicked off, with Leicester City hosting Manchester City at home. Both teams have been in poor form recently. After losing away to Liverpool, the last season's English Championship champion has only won 1 game with 2 draws and 7 losses in the last 10 league games. Due to Wolves' rebound, Leicester City has fallen into the relegation zone. The situation for last season's Premier League champions Manchester City seems even worse. After drawing at home with Everton, Manchester City has only won 1 game in their last 13 matches in all competitions. In their last 9 league games, they have 1 win, 2 draws, and 6 losses. In their last 8 away games, they have 1 draw and 7 losses, which is too bleak. On the latest leaderboard, the defending champions with a total value of 1.25 billion can only rank 7th, and there is even a possibility that they will fall out of the top ten after a few rounds. After the opening, the Blue Moon took control of the game. In the 8th minute, the pudding connection reappeared, and De Bruyne's shot was blocked by the goalkeeper with his foot. However, the loopholes in Manchester City's defense are still quite large. Vardy formed a one-on-one and was tripped by Ortga in the penalty area. Fortunately, Vardy was offside first, and Manchester City escaped the red dot package. Even as the English Championship champions, they could continue to get chances against Manchester City.…

In the 18th round of the 24-25 Premier League season, a focus match was held at the Etihad Stadium, with Manchester City hosting Everton. Despite creating numerous scoring opportunities, Manchester City could only manage a 1-1 draw with their opponents, failing to secure all three points. After the game, Manchester City defender Akanki expressed his dissatisfaction with the result in an interview with Amazon, believing that the draw was not fair. In this game, Manchester City showed a strong desire to attack from the opening stages. In the 3rd minute, Manchester City won a tactical corner kick opportunity, with Foden making a precise cross from the left, and Gvardiol heading for goal, but unfortunately the ball hit the post and bounced out, failing to give Manchester City the lead. However, just 11 minutes later, Manchester City broke the deadlock. Doku faced two defenders on the left flank and showed off his excellent individual ability. He cleverly broke through and sent a slanted pass, with B seat rushing in front of Bransvit and shoveling the ball, which flew into the far corner after a deflection, giving Manchester City a 1-0 lead over Everton. Guardiola celebrated with a fist pump on the sidelines, as if he had already seen the dawn of victory. However, football matches are often full of variables. In the 36th minute, Everton got a great counter-attack opportunity. Doucoure crossed diagonally at a 45-degree angle to the back post, where Akanki missed his clearance and Lewis leaked a man at the back post. Ndoye took advantage of this opportunity…
