You have to shake, you have to move. With the same guys, it is almost impossible. We change, me 含むd... So you have to move.

Pep Guardiola, May 2021

This is the summer Pep Guardiola has 手配中の，お尋ね者 for a couple of years.

When he discussed shaking and moving before the 支持する／優勝者s League final 敗北・負かす by Chelsea, it was not in 言及／関連 to さまざまな ビデオs of the Manchester City 経営者／支配人 dancing that have gone viral over the years, but the reshaping of his squad.?

Guardiola was of the belief that City 要求するd tinkering. His squad needed, if not more 質, then a new en ergy.

As impactful as his 調印s have been on the pitch, they have had just as much of an 影響 in livening up a dressing room so used to winning, keeping players on their toes.

That might be わずかに different this year, with the brutish goalscoring machine that is Erling Haaland marching through the doors for £51million and 得点する／非難する／２０ing within 12 minutes of his debut against Bayern Munich during an on-off, 天候-影響する／感情d friendly on Sunday.

Yet even Haaland has a 補足の 機能（する）／行事 of giving the City players something fresh to 焦点（を合わせる） on behind the scenes.?

They have already taken to singing the chorus of a song created at his former club Dortmund, serenading him as he gave a speech at dinner in Houston last week.?

'Guardiola is a bit crazy and I like that,' Haaland said. 'I cannot tell you too much about this after one week but I've been training 井戸／弁護士席 and I'm ready for what is next.'

Guardiola wants players who can 統合する without any 問題／発行するs and has seen that with Haaland. He credited his bigger 星／主役にするs, 特に the 'humble' Kevin De Bruyne, for leaving any ego to the 味方する in welcoming someone who will steal the 大多数 of the 焦点（を合わせる）. That humility, he believes, is what makes City what they are.

There were 涙／ほころびs when Oleksandr Zinchenko left the （軍の）野営地，陣営 and moved to 兵器庫. Gabriel Jesus had already gone the same way and Raheem 英貨の／純銀の 出発／死d for Chelsea.?

City recognised that all three 手配中の，お尋ね者 more 保証（人）s over game-time and sought to 安全な・保証する market value for them. The trio sold for a 連合させるd £125m, with a cluster of youngsters going for around £30m, too.

Julian Alvarez was 調印するd in January from River Plate for £14m and once 物陰／風下d 部隊d's Kalvin Phillips was 安全な・保証するd for £42m, they were almost done.

A new left-支援する would 最高の，を越す off the strongest 移転 window since Guardiola's arrival in 2016, although Brighton's £50m price tag for Marc Cucurella is 証明するing difficult.

The moving and shaking could have been done last summer but there was not the value in the market given the pandemic and City 辞退するd to sell on the cheap. So they waited.

'I'm excited,' Guardiola said here in Green Bay. 'いつかs the market is strange. 普通は we are a team that buy and didn't sell much. This summer for different 推論する／理由s, we sell some players. If they stayed longer there would be no problem.??

'They 証明するd how good they are. But いつかs the players want more and the club feel it is the 権利 moment to do it.

'Chelsea and 兵器庫 have paid the money ― that is fair.'
