[스포티비뉴스=맹봉주 기자] Manchester City are too strong for the arms to bend inward.
Rio Ferdinand, Roy Keane and Jamie Carragher have predicted the Premier League winners this season. Ferdinand and Keane were from Manchester United and Carragher was from Liverpool. He is currently working as a football commentator and critic in England.
The winners chosen by them were grouped together. The defending champions Man City.
The Premier League has played until the 7th round. 1st is Chelsea and 2nd is Liverpool. Manchester City are in third place, two points behind Chelsea.
Still, experts saw Manchester City’s chances of winning more than Chelsea or Liverpool. This is because the difference between the leader and the team in points is small, and it is judged that they have shown the most stable appearance in their objective power.
First, Ferdinand appeared on his YouTube channel and said: “When I saw the first few games of the season, I thought Chelsea would win. But after a few more games I changed my mind to Manchester City. They played impressive games against strong teams, most recently Liverpool. “We drew 2-2, but the match was overwhelming. In fact, it’s a game that Manchester City should have won. They have a terrible power.”
Keane and Carragher are no different. Keane, who appeared on the British broadcaster Sky Sports, said, “Man City are far superior to other teams in terms of experience, players’ classes and tactics. Especially they have manager Pep Guardiola. He is a manager who knows how to win in football. It will be difficult to beat Man City.”
“As far as I can see, the best team this season is Manchester City,” Carragher said.
However, Manchester City also has weaknesses. It is the decisive power to end the game.
The most recent match against Liverpool is an example. Manchester City took the lead in the first half, but failed to score. Rather, he conceded the opening goal to Liverpool and made it difficult.
That’s why Ferdinand said “Liverpool is a game that Manchester City should have won”. He said: “There is no doubt that City will dominate 99% of their matches this season. But it is important how much of a match they can win. Closing ability is Manchester City’s weakness. I expect Manchester City to win the title without difficulty.”
