World cup Russia 2018

in #esteem6 years ago

imageThe large number of Manchester City players who are still competing in the final stages of the World Cup, the influence of English League champion Pep Guardiola felt around the world.
As the eight teams prepare for the quarter-finals, the majority of City players, still competing in Russia, try to end the season with the grand prize of a World Cup winner.
people like club captain Vincent Kompany and midfield maestro Kevin de Bruyne are getting ready to face their City teammates Gabriel Jesus, Danilo and Fernandinho of Brazil.
Meanwhile, Manchester United's England contingent Kyle Walker, Fabian Delph, Raheem Sterling and John Stones are all key members of Gareth Southgate's team who are preparing to face Sweden.
With City Ederson goalkeeper also in the Brazil squad, the England team has more representation in the last eight than any other club, with 11 players still in Russia.
Paris St Germain and Barcelona, ​​the French and Spanish champions, are also represented with six key players remaining in the World Cup.
Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich have no representatives in the quarter-finals mainly because of Germany's early exit.
Germany may have faired better in the tournament if City in the form of Leroy Sane have been in their squad. Despite 10 goals and 15 assists in the league for Guardiola's team last season, German boss Joachim Loew left Sane at home.
Germany scored only two goals as they went out in the group stage, with many commentators wondering why Sane was not picked.
But not all City players are successful when Spanish players David Silva and Argentina Nicolas Otamendi and Sergio Aguero can not replicate their club form in Russia.
This is not the first time a player from a club run by Guardiola made an impact at the World Cup. In successive tournaments he has been the national club champion coach who later won the World Cup - Spain and Germany.
World champions Spain 2010 has a squad containing seven players managed by Barcelona coach at the time, Guardiola, while four years ago in Brazil, Bayern Munich's Spanish team also has seven representatives in the German World Cup winning team. image
With Guardiola among the world's top managers and with his team of eminent talents, it may not be surprising that his influence has been felt in sporting events.
