Man.City come to America to win

Man.City will begin their FIFA Club World Cup 2025™ journey with a match against Wydad AC at 11pm on June 18. After many changes, Coach Guardiola and his students are in dire need of a victory to regain their confidence, thereby creating a mental boost and regaining their inherent glory.

Spending 180 million pounds to strengthen personnel, what does Man.City want?

Once a force in European football, winning 4 consecutive Premier League titles, Man.City had a disappointing 2024-2025 season. The team was eliminated early in the Champions League and could not even win any domestic titles. This is the second time in his illustrious coaching career that Coach Guardiola has ended the season empty-handed (the first time was his first season leading Man.City).

In fact, there are many reasons for Man.City's decline such as Rodri's injury, De Bruyne, Phil Foden's loss of form. But now is not the time for Man.City to blame. In the context of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™ increasing the number of participating teams and being more competitive, this is considered an opportunity for Man.City to regain the trust of fans, proving that they are still one of the strongest teams in the world .

To prepare for the campaign to conquer the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™, Man.City made many moves in the 10-day transfer window that just ended. The star of many seasons, Kevin De Bruyne, officially said goodbye and went to Italy to play for Napoli. The trio of Jack Grealish, Kyle Walker and Kalvin Phillips were also removed from the team's system when they were no longer suitable. On the other hand, Man.City spent more than 180 million pounds (more than 6,370 billion VND), bringing in "heavyweight" rookies such as Ait-Nouri, Bettinelli, Tijjani Reijnders and Rayan Cherki. All are currently in good shape and in the US, combined with superstars such as Haaland, Omar Marmoush or Bernardo Silva, creating a powerful Man.City.

According to Opta, Man.City has a 97.2% chance of making it to the knockout round, the highest in the tournament. This rate can increase when their opponent in the first round, Wydad AC, is among the weakest teams in the tournament. This is one of the 4 African representatives participating in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™, thanks to the CAF Champions League championship in the 2021 - 2022 season. They do not have any famous players in Europe, are ranked 387 in the world and 370 places below Man.City. Sharing before the match against Wydad AC, coach Guardiola emphasized: "This is a very serious tournament because the whole world is watching the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™. Many of the world's top teams will participate and I can confirm that Man.City will make every effort. We want to conquer the tournament, and at the same time send a clear message to our opponents that Man.City is still the leading force, despite having just gone through an unsatisfactory season. We came here to win."

In addition to Man.City's match, at 8am on June 18, another European giant, Inter Milan, will also take to the field against Monterrey (Mexico). Before that, River Plate (Argentina) will face Urawa Red Diamonds (Japan) at 2am and Ulsan Hyundai (Korea) will face Mamelodi Sundowns (South Africa) at 5am, which are also noteworthy.
