Manchester City have recently experienced a difficult moment.
Specifically, City have lost their last four matches in all competitions, which has never occurred to a Pep Guardiola-led team previously.
Guardiola said after City’s 2-1 Premier League defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion last weekend that the international break came at the appropriate time.
Several City players have played for their nations during the first week of the November break, with more expected to do so in the following days before domestic football returns.
Specifically, one City player performed the type of performance that may have given his club manager an extra tactical lift for their upcoming games.
Rico Lewis, one of two City players on the current England team for their final two Nations League matches, played 90 minutes in the Three Lions’ 3-0 victory over Greece.

The 19-year-old got 55 total touches and was able to complete all 38 passes he attempted, making him the only player in the starting lineup to finish the entire 90 minutes with a passing accuracy percentage of 100%.
He also won all four ground duels, made three clearances, two tackles, and had one shot on target.
