Only 7 starts in 37 rounds, Premier League King Huaicai was ignored by Guardiola

This season, Manchester City's record is obviously unsatisfactory. After being a luxury team, after surpassing the English team in the first 37 rounds, they only had 20 wins, 8 draws, 9 losses, and had 68 points, ranking third in the standings, and had long lost the qualification to compete for the Premier League championship. Not only did the Premier League record not work, but the Champions League, League Cup, FA Cup and other multi-line battles were all unsuccessful. Guardiola completely gained a bad season where all four of them were missing.

has such a bad record. As Manchester City coach, Guardiola naturally encountered an unprecedented crisis of trust. From tactical playing style to personnel arrangements, Guardiola has been questioned by the outside world. Especially his approach to neglecting the frontcourt attacker Gallish is even more incomprehensible.

Data shows that after the first 37 rounds of Premier League games, Gralish has only 20 opportunities to play under Guardiola, and only has a pitiful 7 starts. It can be seen that in Guardiola's tactical system, this English striker has basically become an unnecessary and useless player. However, even so, Gralish still contributed 1 goal and 1 assist to Manchester City.

Looking back at Gallish's career, his growth trajectory has attracted much attention. He had been playing for Aston Villa before playing for Manchester City. At Aston Villa, Galish showed extraordinary football talent. He has superb dribbling skills, can break through the opponent's defense with his personal ability, and has excellent passes and shots, making him an indispensable frontcourt killer. Data shows that in his last two seasons with Villa, he reached his peak in his form, contributing a total of 17 goals and 18 assists in 68 games.

Because Gallish performed well, Guardiola recruited him under his command in the summer of 2021 at a sky-high price of 117.5 million euros. As a result, Gallish has become the perfect transfer bidder in the Premier League. However, the Premier League King who bought a lot of money has not been fully trusted at Manchester City, especially this season, where he has a very few opportunities to play.

Guardiola introduced Gallish at a sky-high price of over 100 million euros, probably because he was attracted by his strength and potential. But judging from the current situation, he is a little bit unappreciated and has gradually become a useless person in the Premier League. Guardiola bought it for a lot of money but didn't use it, which was a bit like slapping himself in the face. Judging from the situation in the past four seasons, it is unlikely that Guardiola will reuse Gallish, so there seems to be only one way before the 29-year-old Gallish, which is to transfer and leave the team quickly.

In fact, Gallish already has plans to leave the team. With Gallish's personal ability, he obviously has no worries about finding a new owner. Finally, I hope Gralish can find a relatively satisfied new owner this summer.
