fucked having to go through that every day. The players must be
thinking ffs, this new guys going to push us, which is exactly what
they needed after last season.
well, if Pellegrini´s system work well into this season the rivals of City will be the ones running after the ball most of the matches, and this will also provides some rest to City players allowing them the keep their energies during the matches and then the full season, the big effort will be done at the moment to recover the ball.
You won´t see direct football, but most of one controlling the ball to create spaces and then try to score. At the beginning the system could be seen slow and rusty but once the players get adapted to the system you will enjoy a lot.
