Manchester City legend Richard Dunn revealed to Sports Moore that the four-player group composed of new aid Tejani Renders, Foden, Marmush and Rodri will become the key puzzle for Blue Moon to regain the Premier League championship. The midfielder, who joined AC Milan, scored twice in the preseason against Palermo, and his offensive data was amazing - among the five European league midfielders in the past 365 days, Rendez's average shot (2.1 times) and goal efficiency (0.28 goals/game) ranked in the top 2% and top 3% respectively. What is more noteworthy is that his performance of 2.66 pushing to the third zone of the offensive every 90 minutes perfectly fills the gap in creativity after De Bruyne left the team.

Dunn emphasized Rendez's "X-factor" traits: "He is the energy element we lacked in the midfield last year." Data website FBref shows that the Dutch international has dribbled the ball and broke into the penalty area (0.77 times per game) for more than 96% of the players in the same position, and his style is compared by experts as a combination of Lampard and Alvarez. However, the former Manchester City defender also reminded that Lyon's new player Cherkie needs to adapt to the strength of the Premier League as soon as possible: "His skills are impeccable, but physical confrontation will be the biggest test."

As Rodri returns to the team due to injury, Manchester City will form a championship engine that combines the old and the new. Opta prediction model shows that the probability of Blue Moon winning the championship in the new season is 38%, but Dunn believes that the encirclement of Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea will create "the most intense competition for the semi-finals in the past decade." In the locker room of Etihad Stadium, 27-year-old Rendez was writing his own Premier League prologue with his scalpel-like pass and ghostly running in the penalty area.
