City wants to return with four powerful weapons after the break

Due to FIFA days, club competitions have entered a two-week "pause." During this time, teams adjust their work schedule, simplify and strengthen their composition, and redraw diagrams. Meanwhile, Manchester City, which has set the season for trophies on all fronts, is also preparing for an important stage.

Pep Guardiola's team entered the break in high spirits - a goalless streak in seven consecutive matches. But most importantly, "City" still has "reserve weapons" that haven't been fully deployed: Ryan Ait-Nuri, Ryan Sherki, Umar Marmush, and Abdukodir Khusanov. According to EsteemedKompany analysts, the return of this quartet will dramatically expand Pep's options.

Ryan Sherkey. A creator working in a zone "between" in attack. One-on-one transitions, adding new momentum to the lineup, and delivering the last pass are his strengths. If Sherki catches the rhythm of the game, it becomes the key that opens the locked door.

Omar Marmush. A constant source of danger in the opponent's penalty area, except for Haaland. Retreats and receives the ball, makes "running" into open zones, and quickly moves into attack. Pep was looking for exactly such a "second point" - Marmuche would fill this gap.

Ryan Ait-Nuri. A defensive player on the left who can recognize the phase and position. Penetration into the midfield through inversion, releasing the ball from pressure, increasing the vertical load - these are its main advantages. With it, City's ball control becomes even smoother and more authoritative.

Abduqodir Husanov. Reliable both in the center and on the right line. In duels, determination, speed, and a culture of closing spaces give strength to the substrate. Sog'lom Husanov is a factor that keeps the defense one step higher. Competition with Rico Lewis and Mateus Nunes is only a plus for the team.

The phases 3-2-4-1/2-3-5 work "cleanly" again: Ait-Nuri enters the inner passage between the wing and the center, opening a channel for Sherki and Marmush.

Husanov's quick positioning in the counter-press phase serves to save the first ball.

A multipoint threat in attack: Forcing Haaland to choose Marmusch as the "second pillar" and Sherki as the center of the opponent in semi-space.

After the break, City will host Everton at Etihad on October 18th, then travel to Villarreal in Spain three days later in the Champions League. In such a tight calendar, Pep rotates "stably":

Sherki - the "joker" who decides the fate of the game in the last 30-35 minutes;

Marmusch - standing on the same field as Haaland, "leading" the central defenders and opening the back zone;

Ait-Nuri - invert in possession phase, and classic lateral in defense;

Husanov - right/center start towards development, reliable barrier in major competitions.

Sherki's creativity, Marmush's vertical move, Ait-Nuri's goalscoring, and Husanov's determination - all combined, City will enter the height of the season ready. With these returns, Pep Guardiola swaps schemes more freely, maintains a high tempo of play, and gains the depth necessary for a team striving for trophies on all fronts. And for the fans, one piece of good news: the most exciting part of City is yet to come.
