"Post" Manchester City reporter Jack Gaughan published an article revealing that Guardiola said that football now relies more and more on data and players lack improvisation.
There seem to be fewer and fewer mavericks in today's football. Players with strong running ability and strength are now more popular, and players who can accurately execute NFL-style tactical instructions will win more opportunities. However, Shirki is different. He is not an attacker in the modern sense. He has a free-spirited soul. Other top clubs may have given up on such players, but he comes from an era that is long gone - and that is not a bad thing.
Recently, sources revealed that Guardiola once lamented to friends that today's football games are increasingly dependent on data and players lack room for improvisation. This also explains why Manchester City spent 31 million pounds to sign Shirley from Lyon this summer. Due to injuries, Shirki has yet to play 90 minutes for Manchester City in the Premier League. He is adapting to English football in a step-by-step manner. After last week's defeat to Villa, Guardiola said that whether Shirki would play or not would depend on "other factors" besides talent.
Before the game against Bournemouth, Guardiola further elaborated on his point of view. He pointed out that the team needs balance and hinted that the lineup deployed in the game against Villa was a bit top-heavy. How to arrange Shirkey and Foden into the starting lineup at the same time is an issue that needs to be considered. Considering that Bournemouth is extremely threatening in offensive transitions, this experiment is not suitable for further conduct. Still, the end result is pretty good.
Due to Reinders' poor physical condition and unable to start, Sherkey and Foden were arranged to play together. This seemingly unexpected decision turned out to be a brilliant answer before the end: Sherkey contributed two assists, Foden once, participated in all three goals, and created a total of five opportunities. This game was not perfect, but the overall signs were positive.
With 17 minutes left in the game, Guardiola replaced Serky. The audience stood up and applauded to pay tribute to this maverick's outstanding performance. This type of player has a unique charm and is one of the reasons why fans in the past were willing to spend money to watch games on weekends. This charm seems to have gradually faded in recent years. If Manchester City's coaching staff can fully realize the potential of Shirki and let this gorgeous style shine again, it will be another dazzling achievement for them.
