The composition of "Manchester City" for the season 2016/17

"Manchester City" - this is one of the strongest clubs in England. There are leading players not only from Great Britain, but also from all over the world. The composition of "Manchester City" has changed a lot with the arrival of the new coach Pep Guardiola. In the club there were fresh players who began to perform important functions. In this article you can find out what the composition of "Manchester City" with the new coach.

Goalkeepers

The composition of the "Manchester City" has changed even in the sense of the goalkeeper position, which is one of the most permanent. In this case, there was a scandalous incident - Guardiola survived from the club favorite of the public, the captain of the team Joe Hart. Instead, for 18 million euros from the "Barcelona" came Claudio Bravo, and on the substitution he acts Willy Caballero. There is in the team and the third goalkeeper, 20-year-old Angus Gunn, who only this summer was summoned from the double in the main structure of "Manchester City".

Protection

The composition of the Manchester City team also changed in the defensive ranks - for 56 million euros from Everton was bought a young and talented center-back John Stones, who plays in the center of defense paired with the Argentine Niklas Otamendi. Also in the team there is an experienced Belgian Vincent Company, but he is almost always injured. On the position of the left defender Guardiola can choose from Alexander Kolarov and Gael Clichy, and to the position of the right defender - from Pablo Sabaleta and Bakary Sanya.

Midfield

If we talk about midfield, then the composition of FC "Manchester City" is extremely diverse. Brazilian Fernando is the only clean destroyer, while Fernandinho, Yaya Toure and Fabian Delph can play against him. In addition, the German midfielder Ilkay Gündoğan, who previously played for Dortmund Borussia, was bought for 27 million euros in the center of midfield. As for the attacking midfielders, here we should pay attention to the main star, the 25-year-old Belgian Kevin de Breinet. But there is also David Silva, who can be nominated if necessary and in an attack, since it's very difficult to compete with Kevin.

Attack

In the attack, "City" has the greatest variety. The main central striker is Sergio Aguero, who can be called one of the strongest players in this position. Replaces his young talent Kelechi Iheanachso. Well, if we talk about the flanks of the attack, then in the offseason, two purchases were made at once: the club acquired Nolito from Celta for 18 million euros and Leroy Sané from Schalke for 50 million euros. In addition, the club already had Spaniard Jesús Navas and the young English genius Raheem Sterling. The leaders of the attack, of course, are he and Aguero, while the midfield is led by De Brein and Gundogan. As for protection, there is a reinforced concrete center from Stones and Otamendi. Not surprisingly, this season, Manchester City is seriously claiming victory in the Championship of England, and it also plans to achieve outstanding success in the European arena, which the club could not do for a long time, despite the impressive funding from Arab investors.
