Manchester City is one of the strongest clubs in England. Leading players are playing there, not only from the UK, but also from around the world. The composition of Manchester City has changed dramatically with the advent of new coach Pep Guardiola. Fresh players appeared in the club who began to perform important functions. In this article you can find out what the composition of Manchester City is with a new coach.
Goalkeepers
The composition of Manchester City has changed even in the sense of the goalkeeper position, which is one of the most constant. In this case, there was a scandalous incident - Guardiola survived from the club favorite of the public, team captain Joe Hart. Instead, Claudio Bravo came from Barcelona for 18 million euros, and Willy Caballero stands in for his replacement. The team also has a third goalkeeper, 20-year-old Angus Gann, who was only summoned this summer from a double to the main team of Manchester City.
Protection
The team of Manchester City has also changed in the ranks of defense - for 56 million euros from Everton a young and talented central defender John Stones was bought, who plays in the center of defense in tandem with the Argentinean Niklas Otamendi. The team also has an experienced Belgian Vincent Company, however, he is almost always injured. Guardiola can choose from the position of the left back from Alexander Kolarov and Gael Clichy, and from the positions of the right back from Pablo Sabaleta and Bakari Sanya.
Midfield
If we talk about midfield, then the composition of FC Manchester City is extremely diverse. The Brazilian Fernando is the only pure destroyer, while Fernandinho, Yaya Toure and Fabian Delph can play together with him. In addition, the German Ilkai Gundogan, who had previously played for Dortmund Borussia, was purchased at the midfield center in the summer for 27 million euros. As for the attacking midfielders, here it is worth paying attention to the main star, the 25-year-old Belgian Kevin de Bruyne. But there is also David Silva, who can be advanced if necessary to attack, as it is very difficult to compete with Kevin.
Attack
In the attack, the City has the greatest variety. The main central striker is Sergio Aguero, who can be called one of the strongest players in this position. Replaces his young talent Kelechi Iheanacho. Well, if we talk about the flanks of attack, then in the offseason two purchases were made at once - the club acquired Nolito from Celta for 18 million euros and Leroy Sane from Schalke for 50 million euros. In addition, the club already had Spaniard Jesus Navas and young English genius Rahim Sterling. The leaders of the attack, of course, are he and Aguero, while the midfielders are led by de Bruyne and Gündoan. As for protection, there is a reinforced concrete center from Stones and Otamendi. It is not surprising that Manchester City is seriously claiming victory in the Championship of England this season, and also plans to achieve outstanding success in the European arena, which the club has not been able to do for a long time, despite impressive funding from Arab investors.
