BBC: Manchester City s resort base in Florida, with a private beach at $715 per night

July 1 BBC reported that Manchester City performed well in the Club World Cup tour in the United States, not only achieving a complete victory on the court, but also enjoying a pleasant time off the court.

Although they failed to win any important trophy in the 2024-25 season, Manchester City today looks happier and more threatening than last season. As the team enters the knockout stage, they will face Saudi professional league club Riyadh Crescent in Orlando. Manchester City arrived in the United States on June 12 and chose to set up a base at the luxury Boca Raton Resort on the southeast coast of Florida. The resort costs up to USD 715 per night (about £521) and has facilities such as a private beach.

Boca Raton Resort is described on its website as a place with "nothing possible and enthusiasm". This description is just right for a team that has won four consecutive Premier League titles and achieved a triple-winning three years ago. After rest and recovery, the defending champion seems ready to conquer the world again. Manchester City quickly returned to the familiar resort base after the game, and their families were allowed to move in, creating a "home feeling" for the team. The team members shared food on the terrace overlooking the sea. The new captain B said the club chose a "great hotel" and the team had a "good time" here.

The high-intensity game at the end of the season put the team under tremendous emotional pressure. In an interview with BBC Sports, Guardiola said: "The season is very emotionally stressed, which is not ideal for the consistency and performance of the team. I decided to do high-quality training, but the rest of the time let the players relax. They can play golf, swim or be with their family. Otherwise it will be very difficult. Keep fresh in training and don't consume too much energy because the game will be very difficult. Some players go to the national team and have no rest days. We need to stay physically and relax. We have 11 months to play, so I decided to let them do what they want to do."

Before the game, the team and the staff behind the scenes adjusted, and four new players were introduced, and they all seamlessly integrated into the team. Nouri was outstanding at left-back, with Serky scoring his first goal at the club and Reindes brought vitality to the midfield. Pep Lindes, who was once Klopp's assistant, also successfully integrated as Guardiola's new assistant. Defender Ake said that the new players brought "motivation" and "a lot of energy" to the team, while midfielder Gundogan said they brought a lot of "joking" and "joking". Forward Serky sang a French rap song at the incoming ceremony, showing the same enthusiasm. For defending champions Manchester City, the first in the group is crucial, which means they avoid the half-zone where Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are located.

According to Opta's statistics, Manchester City is considered the second most popular to win the championship, second only to the powerful Paris Saint-Germain. If both teams can advance, this will bring a showdown between Guardiola and Enrique, two former Barcelona teammates. Guardiola insists that the club's World Cup is a new chapter, and goalkeeper Ortega also said they were not here for vacation.

Club CEO Soriano said: "Manchester City's goal in any game is to win, it is the club's culture." The huge billboard along the way said in big yellow words: "Eily win or go home!"
