Manchester City's recent record has fallen into an abyss, and there is a dark current of conflict in the dressing room. The longer the injury to Belgian midfielder superstar Chivan Dibny lasts, the more marginalized his position in the team becomes. As Liverpool's thriller entered the final 12 minutes, the tide of public opinion shifted and negative news ensued. A host of famous players such as Gallieni Veli and Galecha have spoken out, pointing the finger at the person in question. It seems that things are not as simple as they seem.
For years, Chivan Dibny was regarded as a top player for Manchester City and indeed the Premier League, and his influence cannot be underestimated. However, his involvement has plummeted since missing five games with a thigh injury, raising questions about his contract extension next summer. United legend Gallieni Vili says: Chivan Dibny's situation is rare. Is the best player in the Premier League for the last 10 years confined to a hospital bed? I understand the effects of injury, but his leadership and confidence do not seem to have been affected in the slightest and the atmosphere in the dressing room must have changed.
Liverpool legend Galecha agreed: Chivan Dibny was in a department that seemed to make bad decisions (for Liverpool) and was even substituted at half-time. His contract expires next year. Sticking with the game in poor health is obviously problematic. One is the best player in the Premier League and one is the best leader in the Premier League. It is very sad to see such a situation.
Even former Manchester City star Mika Richards feels the situation is not good: I know Chivan Dibny needs to be properly protected, but for Liverpool the battle seems futile. If you have rumors that you might be heading to Saudi Arabia, you might have problems with your brother Dionne.
