After suffering two consecutive losses, Guardiola welcomes another bad news, Manchester City may become a relegation team

In the third round of the new Premier League, Manchester City will play against Brighton, who has a strong away game. I originally thought that after losing to Tottenham 0:2 in the last round, Guardiola and his team would be shameless and brave and fight a very uplifting battle against Brighton, but I never expected that what awaited Manchester City was still a frustrating defeat. In the first half, after the head striker Haaland missed a good opportunity, he quickly made up for the results and took the lead in receiving Marmush's assist, breaking the deadlock on the court. At the end of the half, Manchester City led 1:0. Just as Manchester City fans were looking forward to a victory, the situation suddenly changed in the second half. Nunes gave a handball point and Milner scored a goal to equalize the score. In the last moment, Gruda calmly defeated her. 1:2, Manchester City suffered a two-game losing streak in the new season. After three rounds, Manchester City scored 3 points, 1 point less than Manchester United, ranking 13th in the Premier League standings. Such a bad record undoubtedly caused Guardiola to encounter an unprecedented crisis of trust.

It rained all night. Just after Manchester City suffered a two-game losing streak, Guardiola immediately received another frustrating bad news. According to Guardiola's 1-2 loss to Brighton, the new foreign ace in the frontcourt, Serki will be absent for at least two months due to injury. According to English media reports, Serky suffered a thigh injury. It seems that the injury this time is probably not light. Once Serki is really injured for two months, this will undoubtedly add to the injury to Manchester City, which is already in a sluggish state.

This 22-year-old French forward star, although he has not been joining Manchester City for a long time, has proved his value with his outstanding performance. It is reported that Serky is currently worth 45 million euros. After joining Manchester City this summer, he has played for the team six times in various competitions, including two starts, contributing 2 goals and 1 assist. It highlights his super high attack efficiency.

From the perspective of technical characteristics, Sherky has extremely strong breakthrough ability and finishing ability in front of the goal. He is fast and flexible in dribbling. He can tear open the opponent's defense for Manchester City on the wing, and at the same time, he can also form an effective cooperation with Haaland in the middle. At a time when Manchester City's offensive end is weak, Serky's existence could have provided more changes and choices for Guardiola's tactical system. However, with Sherky's injury, Manchester City's front-court attack efficiency will be greatly reduced.

Originally, Manchester City was in an unprecedented dilemma. Even Guardiola, who is known as the world's No. 1 coach, is already a little helpless and powerless. Now, it suddenly faces such a fatal critical strike. In this way, Manchester City may completely become a Premier League relegation team this season.
