The reason why Manchester City is not competitive is because the midfield is not good. The reason why Arsenal wants to win the Premier League is because the midfield is strong.

Look at the change in Manchester City. It’s like the fashion world has suddenly changed seasons. Let us tell you that the current football style has changed drastically! Why? It's simple and crude - there are fewer and fewer versatile midfielders like rare animals, and skilled players have become a scarce resource. As for single midfielder players, they are almost extinct, and only Chelsea still has a few "living specimens" hidden there.

Guardiola has sharp eyes. When he saw Arsenal touching the cheese first, he immediately adjusted the recipe accordingly. Nowadays, almost all the teams that can carry the banner of a single defensive midfielder are covered by Chelsea. Other teams? Don't mention it, it's hard to even find a shadow! Let’s just say that Manchester City’s own Rodri used to be very prosperous, but now his condition is more exciting than a roller coaster, which makes people say “time is not forgiving”!

As a result, the single-back midfielder tactic has become an antique in the museum. Most teams can only sigh in despair and cannot prepare for the game according to the gourd. What's even worse is that even the central defenders' footwork has collectively deteriorated. Back then, Manchester City's central defenders had their own passing bonus, but now it's better. When the ball reaches their feet, they are like lost little lambs.

Guashuai's previous ideal plan of "everyone is a passing master" now seems like a fantasy. The reality is very cruel. They can't find an all-round warrior who meets the requirements, so Manchester City can only transform in tears. On the other hand, Liverpool wanted to imitate Manchester City in passing and controlling. As a result, although the players they introduced had the ability to play the ball, their speed and accuracy on the wing were greatly reduced, and they were just imitating Dongshi.

The decline in player level is as inevitable as the replacement of mobile phones, so the tactical board must also keep pace with the times. Guardiola himself has compromised, and even goalkeepers like Donnarumma can catch his eye, which shows how serious the situation is. He actually used a "strange move" like defensive counterattack against Arsenal. It was like the sun came out from the west!

With this operation, Manchester City is shouting loudly: Today's players are really not as hard-core as before! Arteta is open-minded. Results come first, and everything else is just a cloud. But why can't Manchester City win the championship? The answer lies in the midfield - which team with midfield problems will have the last laugh? There is no way! To say who is the strongest midfielder in the Premier League, we have to look at the enemies of Arsenal and Chelsea. However, Chelsea's back line is leaking and the forwards are convulsing, so Arsenal is naturally left behind.

So Arsenal will win the championship. The midfield problems of other teams are too big. It is still difficult to win the championship. Next, it depends on the actual performance. How can Arsenal win the championship? How can Manchester City find an idea without a core and achieve results.
