The Manchester City masterplan is working beautifully … and promises to do so for the next five years, at least. The Blues have been honed to near-perfection by Pep Guardiola, developing a first team squad which has won back-to-back Premier League titles and cleaned up all three major English trophies last season. But it is when you look at the back-up, at the way the City Football Academy is now pushing forward young players to become the next generation, that the picture becomes truly impressive. Vincent Kompany and Nicolas Otamendi were the senior centre back pairing during the Manuel Pellegrini era, and spilling over into Guardiola’s reign. But football director Txiki Begiristain moved to ensure that City have Aymeric Laporte and John Stones picking up the banner as Kompany leaves and Otamendi ponders his own future. READ MORE That pair began last season as first choices, and while Kompany and Otamendi played important parts, it was that pair who played the bulk of the games. Both are 25 years old and approaching the peak years for a centre back and with City still seeking another centre back this summer, they are set fair for the foreseeable future. What has become evident is that the Blues also have another generation of centre backs making their way through. Eric Garcia made the breakthrough last summer. Taylor Harwood-Bellis takes on West Ham striker Chicharito as he makes his first start for the Blues His displays on the US tour, as a 17-year-old defender, were refreshing – his defensive nous, positioning and commitment to the cause were exceptional, and earned him a vault into the first team reckoning. The Barcelona academy graduate made his debut in the Carabao Cup game at Leicester last season. In the under-23s and FA Youth Cup teams, he was paired with Taylor Harwood-Bellis, 16 at the start of the season but boosted into the higher age groups through injuries. That pair (pictured top celebrating Garcia’s Youth Cup goal at Bournemouth) looked the part from the off, Harwood-Bellis six ft two ins and aerially dominant, but schooled in City’s passing game from an early age, and Garcia the smaller, slightly sharper sidekick. READ MORE Harwood-Bellis has already got off to a flyer on this summer tour, being the only player to whom Guardiola gave a full 90 minutes in the 4-1 win over West Ham on Wednesday. He paired with Laporte in the first half, and Stones in the second, and did not look out of place. Obviously, young players face many hazards between the breakthrough point in their careers and making it in the first team – we have seen it already with Tosin Adarabioyo, Karim Rekik and Jason Denayer. Aymeric Laporte and John Stones are the current first choice pairing at City (Image: Alex Livesey/Getty Images) But if these two can keep it together, listen and keep developing – now they have the chance to work with Guardiola, in two or three years they will be pushing Laporte and Stones. The process is most evident in the centre back positions, but is also evident elsewhere, with Bernardo Silva set to replace David Silva, and Phil Foden – due to his exceptional talent – already accelerated in his development in terms of pushing Bernardo and Kevin De Bruyne. With Aro Muric in line behind Ederson, Gabriel Jesus challenging Sergio Aguero and now Rodri competing with Fernandinho, the process is smooth and effective.

Lawan Schalke, Man City Siap Menderita

Liputanviral - Manchester City dipertemukan dengan Schalke pada babak 16 besar Liga Champions setelah undian fase gugur yang dilangsungkan pada Senin (17/12) malam WIB kemarin. Laga tersebut memang baru dilangsungkan pada Februari 2019 nanti tetapi Man City harus mempersiapkan diri mulai sekarang. Man City memang lebih diunggulkan di atas kertas. Kekuatan skuat Man City jelas jauh lebih baik dari komposisi skuat Schalke. Namun, direktur sepak bola Man City, Txiki Begiristain membantah anggapan tersebut. Txiki dengan tegas mengatakan bahwa siapa pun lawan di fase gugur Liga Champions jelas merupakan lawan yang sulit, tak ada tim yang mudah. Melawan tim Jerman tak pernah mudah bagi tim-tim Inggris.   Sangat Sulit Sebelumnya, Man City sudah melawan tim Jerman lainnya di fase grup musim ini: Hoffenheim. Pengalaman inilah yang membuat Txiki yakin laga kontra Schalke nanti akan berjalan sulit. "Kami sudah sangat menderita melawan Hoffenheim di fase grup dan kami tahu betapa sulitnya laga ini nanti," ungkap Txiki di Sky Sports. "Mereka sedikit kesulitan di liga, mungkin karena mereka tampil sangat baik di Liga Champions."   Ambisi

Schalke finis di posisi kedua Grup D dengan 11 poin, di bawah FC Porto. Man City sendiri masih memiliki ambisi tinggi musim ini. Mereka berjanji akan tampil sebaik mungkin di Premier league. "Kami tak bisa membiarkan mereka bermain cepat. Kami harus tampil bagus di kotak penalti dan berusaha mengontrol pertandingan. Kami akan mencoba menguasai bola." "Kami senang dan percaya diri dan hal yang terpenting adalah kami akan mencoba melaju sejauh mungkin di kompetisi ini," sambungnya. "Suatu hari nanti kami akan begitu dekat dengan Liga Champions - sesegera mungkin! Saya berharap waktu itu segera tiba." Read the full article

Best Condition

Daniel Sturridge in ‘best condition’ – JurgenKlopp

Liverpool manager JurgenKlopp says striker Daniel Sturridge is in the “best condition” he has been in during Klopp’s time at the club.

Injuries have limited 27-year-old Sturridge to 46 league appearances in the past three seasons.

“He is in good physical shape, absolutely,” said Klopp, who took over at Anfield in October 2015.

“Daniel could be part of the full pre-season so far so that’s very important. It’s looking good.”

He added: “[Pre-season] was quite intense, especially in England. He was part of pretty much each session so it’s good.”

Liverpool have been linked with RB Leipzig midfielder Naby Keita but Klopp would not be drawn on any move for the 22-year-old Guinea international.

“Nothing new to say about this,” said the German.

“I cannot clarify anything. It’s like it is, it’s the transfer market – everything is open until 31 August.”

Man City sign Kyle Walker from Tottenham for £50m

Manchester City have completed the signing of Tottenham right-back Kyle Walker for a world-record fee for a defender.

Mauricio Pochettino was happy to part with Kyle Walker in the end

“Pep Guardiola is one of the most respected managers in the world and I feel he can help me take my game to a new level.”

City’s director of football TxikiBegiristain said: “Kyle is a fine full-back; one capable of producing quality at both ends of the pitch.

“We’ve followed his progress at Tottenham and have been really impressed by how he has developed. He is now one of the best right-backs in the Premier League and justifiably an England regular.”

Kieran Trippier has emerged as Mauricio Pochettino’s preferred right-back

Guardiola has made strengthening his options at full-back a priority this summer, and Sky sources understand they are working hard to finish the transfer of Monaco left-back Benjamin Mendy to the club.

Betensured’s Blog understand Mauricio Pochettino was happy to sell Walker after relations between the pair deteriorated towards the end of the season and Kieran Trippier developed into his preferred choice in the position.

Tottenham are interested in Porto’s Ricardo Pereira as a replacement, while they have also scouted Hertha Berlin’s Mitchell Weiser and Torino’s DavideZappacosta.
