Refrigerate the two new players, what s going on with Guardiola?

Lose to Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final, Manchester City fell into a state of being empty, and many of Guardiola's choices in laying out troops have caused criticism, and abandoning the operations of new players Niko Gonzalez and Husanov in the winter window have become the focus of public opinion.

can still respond to emergency situations when joining, but after the results are stable, they are abandoned. Manchester City spent 240 million euros in the past winter window to introduce 6 players, including Marmush, who is worth 80 million euros, Nico Gonzalez, who is worth 60 million euros, Husanov, who is worth 50 million euros, Rees who is worth 35 million euros, Echeveri who is worth 18.5 million euros, and Juma Ba who is worth 6 million euros. Three of the most valuable players came as the main players. When time came to the FA Cup final, only Marmush could maintain exposure, and Husanov and Niko Gonzalez had already "hidden into the dust".

Since the FA Cup quarter-finals against Bournemouth (2025.03.30), Husanov has been on the bench for 6 consecutive games, while Nico Gonzalez has only played for 2 minutes in his last five games.

The strength has not met the standards for the time being, and it is at a disadvantage in healthy competition

Faced with all kinds of rumors, Uzbekistan Football Association officials have come forward to clarify the rumors, saying that there is no conflict between Husanov and Guardiola, and that the sudden abandonment of recent times is mainly due to the healthy competition in the team, namely, O'Reilly's upright and Gwadior's position change. In addition to the need to improve his skills and awareness, Husanov does not know how to speak English, and there are certain obstacles to communication with the coach and teammates.

Nico Gonzalez's main problem is that he is not adapted to the rhythm of the Premier League. The tall player's feet have no problems, but his confrontation is weak and his ball handling rhythm is slow. As a central advancement, it is easy to become a breakthrough for his opponent, which is very obvious when he plays against Real Madrid in the Champions League knockout match.

Anxin starts from the substitute, and seeks out another explosion. Facing the huge pressure of the league's "fight for five" and the FA Cup championship, Guardiola cannot give new players enough fault tolerance space, which is understandable. When players like Guvadiol, Ruben Dias, Kovacic and Bernardo Silva were standing in front of him, Husanov and Nico Gonzalez could only wait patiently on the bench.

Guardiola has extremely high requirements for the players' technical and tactical awareness. Many new players felt uncomfortable in their first season after joining. Gralish, Sane and Bernardo Silva and others all completed the explosion in their "seventh grade". Haaland and Akanji both achieved first-class level in their rookie season because of their resources. As firefighters who came to the winter window, Husanov and Nico Gonzalez's transfer fees have a clear "premium", which shows that the players' strength is less than 50 million to 60 million euros. If they want to gain a foothold in Manchester City, they obviously have to make greater efforts than their predecessors.
