MANCHESTER, England: Football managers can be as obsessed as any political leader with the need for 'message discipline' as Manchester City defender Oleksandr Zinchenko discovered this week.
But while such a mentality is understandable and no doubt based on good psychology, by no objective standard can the idea of City winning all four titles this season be considered utopian. That leaves the Champions League, where the bookmakers also see the Mancunians as the most likely winner, but where Guardiola's caution is most justified as City have fallen in the quarter-finals for the last three seasons.Advertisement
With Ruben Dias having transformed the troublesome centre of City's back-line, they have not conceded a goal in the Champions League since October's opening group game against Porto. Phil Foden's emergence as a regular feature in the side has injected some additional pace into the team and Guardiola has been able to address his concerns from earlier in the campaign that his side were rushing their attacks.
