Manchester City: Guardiola's new magic formula
OneFootball Videos
Manchester City appear to have found a new formula to reignite their momentum. Pep Guardiola has recently implemented a diamond midfield system, an idea first tested before the Manchester derby and now established as a genuine tactical choice.
Already seen against Liverpool, this setup paid off once again against Fulham. With a more compact formation, City have become more aggressive in their pressing, winning the ball higher up the pitch and bolstering their presence in the final third.
In this system, Bernardo Silva has established himself as a key figure. With his relentless work rate and intensity, the Portuguese midfielder perfectly embodies the balance Guardiola seeks between technical mastery and defensive discipline.
