In the Champions League, an ups and downs match came to an end, Manchester City failed to beat Juventus at the crucial moment, and the journey to the knockout stage became as foggy as ever. After the match, Ferdinand, the former Manchester United defender, gave his insights on the key battle and expressed his deep concern about Pep Guardiola's team.
Ferdinand said bluntly: "Looking back at City's brilliant record in recent years, we had high hopes for them. They are a team with a long history of winning the Premier League four times and have a great record in hand. But Pep Guardiola's men have been a revelation of late. This defeat, coupled with their poor recent record, is a real cause for concern."
He continued his analysis: "Guardiola needs to find the key to awaken the team's fighting spirit and help them regain their form and confidence. In the past ten games, they have only won one game, but lost seven, this kind of results obviously can not be satisfied. They are under immense pressure and must get out of it quickly."
Ferdinand also emphasized that although it would be too hasty to condemn City to the exit at this crucial point in the season, Guardiola and his team do need to reflect deeply, dig into the crux of the problem and take swift and effective measures to solve it.
