Since the arrival of Pep Guardiola to Manchester City, there have been a number of changes that the Spanish manager has implanted to his fairly new squad with dietary restrictions and not being able to use wifi on certain places of the training grounds, these are just a few of the things that Guardiola has placed to his team and Gael Clichy has praised Pep Guardiola as the 31 year old French player said:

“He’s an ideal manager for any kind of player. The goalkeeper needs to be better with their feet, the centre-backs are improving, the full-backs are important, the centre midfield – he said something like if he could play 11 midfielders, he would play them, so I guess for a midfielder it’s unbelievable’’

Since the arrival of Pep Guardiola to Manchester City, there have been a number of changes that the Spanish manager has implanted to his fairly new squad with dietary restrictions and not being able to use wifi on certain places of the training grounds, these are just a few of the things that Guardiola has placed to his team and Gael Clichy has praised Pep Guardiola as the 31 year old French player said:

The goalkeeper needs to be better with their feet, the centre-backs are improving, the full-backs are important, the centre midfield – he said something like if he could play 11 midfielders, he would play them, so I guess for a midfielder it’s unbelievable’’

‘’And the strikers are going to score a lot of goals because we are going to create a lot of chances. I can even tell you that the assistant manager will improve so he’s the kind of guy that, if you’re lucky to work with him during your career, he is someone you will remember for a long time because he’s truly impressive.”

Gael Clichy is entering the final year of his contract with Manchester City and ever since he joined the Premier League club back on July 2011, the French player has managed to make consistent appearances and there is a realistic chance of his contract being extended as the 27 year old player has traditionally been an influential player, although since the arrival of Guardiola, he has been spending more time on the sidelines.

Even though Clichy has historically been a key figure at the Etihad Stadium, he might not be in the plans of Pep Guardiola and this could be one of the reasons of why Gael Clichy has recently been seeing much more time on the sidelines than usual and a contract extension is ultimately in the hands of Pep Guardiola.

Manchester City defender Gael Clichy believes that Manchester City will make it to the end this season.

He said that there would be no repeat of last season’s performance and believes that the club has the necessary players to make it until the end of the season.

Manchester City defender Gael Clichy believes that Manchester City will make it to the end this season.

He said that there would be no repeat of last season’s performance and believes that the club has the necessary players to make it until the end of the season.

He said that Pep Guardiola has inspired the team and that he has brought in some new training methods as well as tactics that will help the club make it to the title.

The former Arsenal defender said that Manchester City has the necessary resources to win the title and that the players are ready to give their best in order to win matches. He said that Manchester City had learned from their mistakes last year and that they will not commit the same ones this season.

He believes that Pep Guardiola has made a good recruitment during the transfer window and that the new players have gelled well and that they are going to help the team move forward. He said that there is a good spirit in the team and that each player wants to give their best in order to win trophies.

Clichy said that Guardiola has brought a change in the training sessions and that this is already showing in their performance. He said that this is one of the best staff he has worked with and that he believes that the club is in a good position to win trophies. He said that all the training sessions are tailored to each player and that the entire club’s staff is involved in the training sessions.

Gael Clichy admitted however that the league would not be easy as there are several teams that can compete for the title and that Manchester City should be consistent throughout the season if they want to win the title.

Going by the Premier League games so far, this season promises excitement, with top quality managers in various clubs vying for glory.

The first round of games showed the quality of Man City boss Pep Guardiola. The tactical variety was effective as he deployed a rare 2-3-5 formation, using the players available in the best possible way. He is known to be one of the most creative managers in the modern era and he showed it in his first game in charge.

The first round of games showed the quality of Man City boss Pep Guardiola. The tactical variety was effective as he deployed a rare 2-3-5 formation, using the players available in the best possible way. He is known to be one of the most creative managers in the modern era and he showed it in his first game in charge.

Guardiola used the “inverted full back” squad method. His first game was the most anticipated in the opening game day. Apparently, it could be seen as a 4-3-3 but when Man City were able to get three-quarter of the possession, veteran city players Bacary Sagna and Gael Clichy moved to the centre to join Fernandinho. The wingers remained Raheem Sterling at the right and new signing from Spain Nolito playing in the left. A fit David Silva joined Kevin De Bruyne in central midfield as they edged closer to Sergio Aguero at the front. John Stones match with Aleksander Kolarov at the centre back position formed the known 2-3-5 formation very well.

The formation allowed for new passing angles, as a winger and full back were not on a vertical line. Guardiola used one of his known methods at Bayern Munich, placing a player wide and at the middle to create more options. The squad didn’t create as much chances as expected, but they were able to convert an opportunity to get their second when they needed it, sending the coach into frenzy. They had scored the first when Sterling was fouled in the box and Aguero scored the penalty, hitting hard to the left and beating the goal keeper. Sunderland equalised and Davis Moyes rejoiced but City had the last laugh.

Gael Clichy is reported to be likely retained for the coming season to help the likely change in central defenders.

Incoming coach Pep Guardiola wants to add fresh legs in the defence as it is a critical area that suffered last season.

With Captain Vincent Kompany out till October, only Nicholas Otamendi and Eliaquim Mangala are available for the start of the season in August. Guardiola is looking at landing defender John Stones despite the refusal of Everton to sell him. Manchester City lost out on signing Aymeric Laporte from Bilbao. Man City had been tracking the player to join in bolstering the defence but the price tag of 40 million Pounds held City back until he renewed his contract with the club to remain there till 2020. City claimed they were hesitant because of the serious back injury the player is just recovering from.

Chelsea tried to sign John Stones but could not land the defender last season but Guardiola wants to package a bid that would be difficult to refuse. Everton rejected a bid of 38 million Pounds from Chelsea FC last season but a transfer bid of upwards of 40 million Pounds might trigger his release.

Gael Clichy enjoyed a decent season in the last campaign and is believed will get at least a year deal ahead of the coming season, at least to help in the transition wave going on at the Etihad. The competition for the player in Aleksander Kolarov and even Zabaleta are likely to shipped out. Clichy still has his age issues but he is set to likely have a go for the coming season. Though he had a few concerns at the back, the support he gave the attack helped balance his performance.

Gael Clichy is believed to remain at the club next season as newly appointed coach Pep Guardiola resumes at the club.

The tactician is asking for a total overhaul of the current squad and Clinchy was initially among those who might lose his first team action, if he remains at the club but indications as the season ended show that the right back might just have a spot on Guardiola’s team.

The player struggled at some point in the season with consistency. Kolarov was Clichy’s competition but lacked that attribute that used to make him indispensable. The Sky Blues defense section had one issue or the other all season but Clichy was able to manage a decent performance despite struggling with defensive errors at some points in the league.

One of the most recent being his near own goal, which later turned a goal in the penultimate game in the league against Arsenal where he misjudged heading the goal back home from a cross. It caused a corner kick which resulted in a goal. Overall, he improved this season and managed his position well.

It is believed that Guardiola will retain the player in his position as he is a reliable option, especially as there are lots of other holes in the team to be fixed. His pass accuracy this past season was 80.9% in all competitions, though as an injury candidate he made 20 starts.

His decent defensive stats helped him as he made, on average, Clichy made 4 interceptions and 3 clearances per game. Kolarov meanwhile managed to average only 1.6 interceptions and 2.4 clearances each outing. When compared, Clichy has a very high chance of remaining in the elite team of Manchester City, even as Guardiola resumes.

Gael Clichy is reported to be likely to remain at the club despite the flurry of planned changes to the first team. Pep Guardiola has not yet made any official comments on who would remain at the club going into next season.

He recently signed Ilkay Gundogan from Borussia Dortmund and there are other deals going on in the background. Guardiola would need to do a lot of work in the defence which is believed to be their weakest link last season.

The team’s skipper Vincent Kompany had a lot of injuries last season. His partner in Otamendi made lots of errors. Other defenders in Demichelis, Zabaleta and Kolarov are speculated to be set to leave as their performances where below par last season.

There are also reports that the Catalan tactician will be brining in a new centre back in Aymeric Laporte to take over the defence. There are even links to Daniel Carvajal, Aaron Cresswell and Sime Vrsaljko to partner with him.

However, Gael Clichy and Bacary Sagna are likely to remain at the club to provide cover for the incoming full-backs. Both will likely not get regular playing time, with their age de-marketing them as well.

Similar changes are being made in Chelsea and Manchester United as they also have new managers with ambitious targets for next season. Pep who is 45 years old is expected to return the club to its winning ways, being one with a well-established reputation as one of football’s most celebrated managers. With Guardiola on board, Manchester City have become favourites to win the Champions League according to the StanJames odds – they are just 3/1.

The coach also has strong interest in John Stones in the defence.

However, he is not due to make official comments until his first press conference as manager at the beginning of July. Guardiola is known to work with 14 or 15 players that have complete confidence in him. That’s why he always ends up with a very stable playing style and a changing room that doesn’t harbour much conflict.

With Manchester United scoring the victory over their rival team City, it’s reported that their team was inspired by a heroic speech given by the currently injured captain Wayne Rooney.

While Rooney has been out of the game for quite a while now, he still seeks to inspire his team and lead them to victory through words.

While Rooney has been out of the game for quite a while now, he still seeks to inspire his team and lead them to victory through words.

Before the big game, Rooney gave an encouraging speech to the team in the dressing room. This comes as a surprise because Louis Van Gaal doesn’t usually allow anyone who’s not in the match squad into the dressing rooms right before a game but for the injured captain Rooney, an exception was made. The speech came at a heartfelt time because 10 days prior, they lost against Liverpool.

At half time, United were already 1-0 up, and the clear favourites to win the Derby on StanJames, but they still had a fraught 45 miuntes to go.

Last year, another speech very similar was also given to his team. What is Rooney saying to these guys to inspire them to such great lengths? Last year was yet another tough spot for Manchester United and after the poetic and inspiring speech by Rooney, they were able to turn the season around. So how do you inspire people to such a degree that it helps secure a victory? When you play for Manchester United, there’s a certain expectation of you and your team.

Rooney stated “Our main aim was to finish as high up in the table and then we had Liverpool coming up, Man City coming up, so I knew we had some tough games and as a reminder to the players, I told them the football club we’re playing at, the standards you need to set at this club and what we have to do to reach our goal.”

Members of the team are cited as saying that he’s one of those people that you listen to when he speaks. No one is fiddling around, everyone has their 100% focus and attention on Rooney when he’s giving these motivational speeches. It helps secure victories and lifts up an entire team. This win comes at a much needed time too, Manchester United is now back in the race for the Champion’s League.
