Capio suggests Manchester City abandons old players, De Bruyne meets the standards of La Liga mid-range team

Manchester City beat Plymouth in the FA Cup and De Bruyne scored a goal. However, Marca's reporter Carpio believes that if the Blue Moon Legion wants to rise again, the management must make up their minds to replace these veterans, so that the club can usher in a true update. Capio suggested that Manchester City abandon their old players. Guardiola needs to have a "no breaking or no establishment" attitude before the team can usher in a new life. In Capio's view, Gundogan's return to the Etihad Stadium this season will only have a negative effect on the club, because this German veteran belongs to the star of the previous era, at least he belongs to Manchester City's glory in the previous era. If he wants to return to the Blue Moon Army, Guardiola will "living his old capital".

De Bruyne and Gundogan, the old players, still have strong tactical strength, but they are not suitable for Manchester City's future, so Carpio suggested that the management of the Blue Moon abandon them and let the team fundamentally rebuild. According to champion players of De Bruyne's level, he should go to the wealthy clubs in the Fringe League to "retirement". However, Capio believes that according to De Bruyne's strength and awareness, he is fully capable of retiring in the five major leagues - De Bruyne meets the standards of the La Liga mid-range team, because the mid-range clubs in Spanish football (such as Real Sociedad and Athletic Bilbao) have strong technical capabilities, and De Bruyne is just able to command them.

Of course, Carpio also emphasized that he is not suggesting that De Bruyne go to the La Liga mid-range team now, but he meets the standards of such clubs. In three to five years, De Bruyne needs to prepare for retirement, and he can consider the La Liga mid-range team. By then, De Bruyne will become the tactical core that these mid-level La Liga teams have always dreamed of with their rich experience in the top league and a deep understanding of football. His passing vision, precise straight passes and creativity at critical moments will bring qualitative improvements to the team, helping them stay in the middle and upper reaches in the fiercely competitive La Liga, and even occasionally launch an attack on European qualifications.

On a stage like La Liga that focuses on technology and tactical literacy, De Bruyne's joining will undoubtedly promote the improvement of the overall style of the team. Young players can grow rapidly under his guidance, learn how to find gaps in high-speed offensive and defensive transformation and pass accurately, which is undoubtedly a huge contribution to the club's long-term development. For a wealthy club, it is difficult to abandon a group of meritorious veteran players. After all, during the three-time champions of Manchester City, these veteran players were the core players and they made great contributions to the team. Even if their condition declines, the club will face condemnation from fans if they want to abandon them.

However, Carpio also recommends that everyone be more rational, and that the update must give up some of the emotions. As a coach who is well versed in football philosophy, Guardiola knows the truth of "breaking out of the cocoon and becoming a butterfly". At Capio's suggestion, he began to conceive a plan that respects history and looks at the future. Guardiola intends to promote this reconstruction in a gentle and firm way. He plans to balance emotions with rationality by introducing fresh blood while giving veterans a decent farewell game or transfer opportunity. Guardiola realized that the real challenge was how to complete the metabolism of the lineup while staying competitive.

He intends to actively look for young talents who can integrate into Manchester City's tactical system and represent the team's future in the summer transfer window. At the same time, Guardiola will also strengthen internal training of young players to ensure that they can quickly fill the vacancy after the veteran leaves and continue Manchester City's glory. In addition, Guardiola plans to explain the far-reaching significance of this decision to fans through open and transparent communication methods, and strive for their understanding and support. He believes that as long as the fans can be successfully convinced and let them see the blueprint for the team's long-term development, the temporary pain brought about by abandoning the veteran will be replaced by their longing for the future. Under the leadership of Guardiola, Manchester City is steadily moving towards a new era that respects tradition and does not stick to the past, striving to shine brightly on the green field again.

So, Capio suggested that Manchester City abandon the old players, in order to lay the foundation for the club to push back and start over. The author believes that this decision was not made easily, it embodies Guardiola's deep understanding of football and deep expectations for Manchester City's future. He knew very well that every lineup change was a reshaping of the team and a inheritance and development of the club's culture and spirit. Therefore, in the process of promoting this plan, Guardiola not only pays attention to the introduction and cultivation of players, but also pays attention to the construction and inheritance of team culture. He plans to allow young players to deeply understand and integrate into Manchester City's football philosophy and team spirit through a series of activities and initiatives.
