Blues’ Mental Tug of War After Forest Fiasco…
Ruben Dias has decided it’s time for his Man City teammates to pretend the top four race is their Champions League final. Yes, even though Nottingham Forest handed them a tough lesson in reality at the City Ground, he’s insisting that City are still good. Judging by their sulky shadows, it seems they forgot to read the script. While CEO Ferran and sporting director Txiki tried an impromptu pep talk at the exit, Oasis was singing a sad goodbye to their ears. Jack Grealish and Kevin De Bruyne must have missed the memo, as they vanished faster than you can say “Wonderwall.”
Pep Guardiola is in full pep mode claiming City should have been faster with the ball. But with 15 losses in 30 games, Dias cuts to the chase: “They score, we need to stop them, duh.” This tactical mastermind acknowledges the team needs some serious pep talk. Dry pitches and counter tactics are the new reality checkers, and it seems, a challenge more exciting than their usual title chase.
In happier news, Dias’ legs are back in superhero mode after a stint of injury woes. He’s eager for a marathon, but will rebel robots replace humans by then? All we know is Dias is running full throttle, and City’s season finale is destined to be a top-four tragi-comedy.
