As the final whistle echoed through the night air of Manchester, it was an outpouring of emotion like no other. The eruption of joy from underneath the feelings of misery and heartbreak that we have suffered in this competition for 6 years can not be explained in words. This was much more than a game of football for everyone associated with City. This was a game of disproving and conquering...
I was checking all of the latest transfer news related to Man City today. To be honest, I was not expecting to find much. You anyway don’t get much on a Sunday evening. But, it was surprising to find us linked with Arnau Martinez (https://www.sportskeeda.com/football/rumor-manchester-city-keen-signing-barcelona-target-20-million-release-clause-reports). What caught my eye even more was the fact that Barca are trying very hard to sign him. As I went through the profile of...
The reaction of everybody after the match was quite bizarre to say the least. Most of the people in the footballing world seemed to play down the result. It seemed as if the majority was trying to find excuses for Arsenal’s loss. I have read articles in reputed papers stating this match will not have an impact on the Premier League title race. People were having all sorts of excuses...
This question was bothering me to the core in the last few weeks. Let’s be honest, it would have bothered all of us in a much lesser way if Arsenal had not been challenging us for the title. In fact, there would be no debate on it if Arsenal were not in this commanding position. You will probably find that there is no straight answer to this question among our...
All of this feels Surreal when you glance back in time to the days Pep and Arteta used to tactically plan the downfall of opponents together. Time just glides by you so quickly that you don’t even realize it. It still feels like yesterday for me, but the pupil has grown big enough to stand on his own feet now. Arteta seems ready to look at Pep eye to eye...
It seemed like the centurions season happened just yesterday. But, time flies by so fast and you never quite realize the value of it till the very end. All of you might wonder why am I talking about the centurions season now. In fact, that season is far from the way we are playing right now. The connection is surely there between then and now. If you all remember, Pep...
The way City moved the ball gave me goosebumps at times. The performance was like an orchestra that was directed by the master himself. There was great exuberance in the way City executed this melody composed by Pep Guardiola. The positional structure, the passing, the movement, the homogeneity between players, everything was so perfect. In fact, the perfection of this performance made you wonder if this was truly real. Mahrez...
I know that people looking at the headline might be thinking that I am out of my mind. I mean City have just played one friendly against Girona and nothing more. To be honest, I have not taken anything from the Girona game to come up with this statement about City’s sharpness. In contrast, my keen observation has been on Pep’s body language and the way he is speaking at...
Do not let the scoreline of the first half fool you into thinking that it was a game of 2 halves. City were absolutely fantastic in both the halves. It was just that the tactics from Pep needed a little bit tweaking at halftime to get us at full speed. It was a memorable match for our academy with Rico Lewis announcing himself to the footballing world. Stefan Ortega –...
The fact that we have been linked with Europe’s in – form left winger is not a surprise at all. It’s not been even four months since his arrival at Napoli and Kvaratskhelia has already turned the heads of various top clubs around Europe. The talk is that Real Madrid and PSG are also interested in landing this top talent from Napoli. The competition is going to be very stiff,...
