Bernardo Silva has admitted that the “cycle” of Manchester City ended when he asked the club to rebuild the squad this summer.
The champions of the Premier League defenders have been very well this season. They sit at 20 points behind Liverpool leaders and were abandoned from the Champions League in the play-off phase.
Manager Pep Guardiola has Publicly admitted Their aging template cannot face the physical demands of the modern game and the calendar that often makes them play at least twice a week.
Speaking DazSilva also granted CityThe current workforce is not at the planned level and urged those responsible for being active in the transfer market.
“It has been a difficult, very frustrating season, because the level we had accustomed to was very high,” he said. “A level in which in the last seven seasons we have won six first leagues, we have always managed to achieve very advanced stages of the Champions League, we have managed to fight for many cups of league, CUP.
“Generations and cycles obviously end up due to age, due to the different stages of a race, and this club will have to renew.
“No one has managed to win four Premier League titles followed as we did last year, so obviously maintaining this level will always be difficult.
“We are trying to find different solutions and I’m sure this club, in one way or another, will be very successful in the future again. It was six bad months and we have to accept it. But I hope that six bad months will not question everything, because it would be the beginning of the end.”
Reports have suggested that Guardiola seeks to train with at least seven first team players this summer, with veteran midfielder Kevin de Bruyne among those who face future uncertain.
