Manchester City - 'when the tiger grows wings'

At the end of the 2018-2019 season, the "blue half" of Manchester not only successfully defended the Premier League title but also won the domestic treble for the first time.

However, it seems that that is not enough for the rich Man City. The Arab owners want coach Pep Guardiola and his team to do more than that, which is to win the prestigious Champions League Cup.

With the amount of 63 million pounds to bring Rodrio to the Etihad, Manchester City broke their own record in the transfer market. The old record belonged to Riyad Mahrez who moved to Man City from Leicester for 60 million pounds last season. With such a huge amount of money, Atletico could not help but accept to let their star come to the Etihad.

Standing at 1m91 tall, Rodrigo is a versatile attacking player, with great physical strength, tactical thinking and excellent defensive support ability.

In addition, the Spanish midfielder also stands out for his winning rate in one-on-one duels with opponents. The star born in 1996 also adapts very quickly to many tactical schemes of the coaching staff. Playing very well for Atlectico, Rodrigo was called up to the Spanish national team and played very well. This player is likened to Sergio Busquets of Barca.

Last season, Rodrigo was a mainstay in Atletico Madrid, with more than 47 appearances in all competitions, scoring 3 goals, a central midfielder with good ball-winning and recovery abilities. In addition, he has long passes and sharp attacks. With Rodrigo, coach Pep Goardiola will have a quality addition to the midfield and will play well with D. Silva, Bernando Silva and Kevin De Bruyne, forming a magical quartet in the midfield. It can be said that with Rodrigo, Manchester City will be like "a tiger with wings".

Thus, Rodrigo is Man City's most expensive rookie this season. However, with the ambition to turn Man City into a powerful club in all arenas, the transfer this season of the "blue half" of Mancheste has not stopped. Accordingly, right-back Joao Cancelo, worth more than 40 million pounds from Juventus, is also in the sights of "The Citizens". In addition, Man City also wants to turn another super defender into the world's most expensive contract in the center-back position, the Senegalese player, Kalidou Koulibaly from Napoli, with a price of 90 million pounds. However, the above "blockbuster" contracts are still in the negotiation process.

With the current squad already very strong, the "blue half" of Manchester is still active in the transfer market in this new season. If the remaining names arrive at Etihad in the coming days, this will be the most formidable squad that Man City has ever owned.

It will be a big challenge for Premier League teams to overthrow the Man City empire in the following seasons. And it will also be a real giant to compete with the top European teams in all arenas./.
