Manchester United legend and current pundit Gary Neville has spoken about the "main force" that could lead Manchester City to the Premier League gold medal this season. He believes the Citizens have a trio capable of making a decisive impact on their championship run - Pep Guardiola, Erling Haaland, and Gianluigi Donnarumma. Sky Sports quoted Neville as saying this.
Neville's logic is simple but firm: if City wants to return to the championship, the team needs something special - big character, big decisions, and big moments - not a "simple game." At this point, he believes, a combination of a coach, a goalscorer, and a goalkeeper making decisive saves can turn the game around in the championship race.
These words weren't taken from thin air - City faced such a "test of willpower" during last weekend's away game against Liverpool. After the hosts opened the scoring at Anfield, the Manchester side returned with all their might in the final minutes, winning 2-1.
Currently, City is in second place in the English Premier League table, trailing league leaders Arsenal by 6 points. So, the championship race hasn't ended yet, but each round will be held under "golden" pressure.
Now here's the intrigue: can Neville's "troika" really make a big turn? Guardiola - strategy, Haaland - goal, Donnarumma - the "rescue button" at the most difficult moment. If this mechanism works steadily, "City" will cling even harder to championship goals in upcoming rounds. One thing is clear in football: 6 points is a big difference, but it's not a "fantasy" for a comeback.
