Hugo Viana’s Mission: Overhaul the Squad…
Hugo Viana stepped into the role at Manchester City like a man on a mission—armed with a clipboard and a wand! His task? Diagnose last season’s hiccups and sprinkle a touch of football magic. With fresh faces arriving before the Club World Cup like a flash mob appearing in a shopping mall, experienced stalwarts departed quicker than English rain disappears on a sunny day. In the past 48 hours, Ederson, Ilkay Gundogan, and Manu Akanji have been shown the door—possibly using an ejector seat for dramatic effect! While Josko Gvardiol, Savinho, and Mateo Kovacic sit on the repair bench, Erling Haaland seems to be holding the fort single-handedly with extra arms hidden within his long sleeves! The winds of change blow strong at the Etihad Stadium.
Pep Guardiola is assembling his team like a toddler trying to put together a LEGO set—only he lost the instruction manual! City has seen ÂŁ350m worth of newbies this season, but some teething problems have emerged as they learned the ropes. Despite the wild transformation, losing matches feels like the ghost of last season is haunting them like a football-themed poltergeist! Guardiola insists patience is a virtue while he builds a squad worthy of standing next to the Eiffel Tower, in terms of stature, not location. Viana and City’s new recruits are determined to prove themselves, and laughing in the face of the ghosts of seasons past may just be the start!
