In the first round of the African Cup of Nations group stage, Nigeria beat Egypt 1-0. Looking back at this game, City's renunciation of Isinacho played quite well, and he scored the winning goal for Nigeria in the front line. With this crucial goal, Ichinacho was voted the best player of the game. Thinking that his performance in Leicester City in recent seasons has also been very powerful, Manchester City fans are quite emotional: how good it would be if he had not been sold by Guardiola that year!
It all started four years ago. Guardiola, who is interested in revamping the front, signed Jesus for 32 million euros in the winter window. With the brazilian striker joining, the fiery Ichinacho was immediately reduced to a substitute. Such an encounter not only triggered a strong dissatisfaction from Isinacho's agent, but even Premier League celebrities such as Irving accused Guardiola of being "unkind". Unfortunately, the stubborn Guardiola was unmoved, publicly responding that "it is his decision not to give Isinaccio a chance."
Isinaccio still expressed his willingness to stay in the team, but unfortunately Guardiola had no intention of keeping him. With the opening of the summer window, Isinaccio was sold to Leicester City for £27 million. Fortunately, Isinacho, who was only 21 at the time, was not discouraged by this, but chose to redouble his efforts to train and prove himself. It is precisely because of this that he is quite talented and still continues to improve and grow. Especially after former Liverpool manager Rodgers took charge, Isinacho's progress has improved by leaps and bounds.
Thanks to Rogers' careful tuning, Ichinacho exploded last season. According to statistics, he scored 19 goals and 6 assists in 39 appearances. The super efficiency of making a goal in an average of 95 minutes makes Isinacho the efficiency king of the Premier League in 2021. Top strikers such as Tottenham's Kane and Liverpool's Salah are less efficient than him. Of course, what amazed Premier League fans the most was Ichinacho's performance when he played Manchester City. In last August's Community Shield match, it was his killer who helped Leicester City beat Manchester City. Half a month ago in the Premier League, Isinacho scored three goals against the old manChester City.
Such excellent and stable play has made Isinacho the absolute main force in Nigeria. In the first round of the Africa Cup of Nations group stage against Egypt, Ichinacho, who was on the front line, frequently created threats and successfully scored the winning goal in the first half. With this precious goal, Nigeria defeated Salah-led Egypt and won the opening of this year's Africa Cup of Nations. After the match, Isinacho was named the best player of the game.
Looking at Isinacho's weightless performance, Manchester City fans sighed: "It would be nice if I hadn't been sold by Guardiola." "Come to think of it, Manchester City has been plagued by a lack of stable scorers in recent seasons, especially when it comes to cup-winning City. To make matters worse, Aguero, whose contract expired, has left Manchester City, and the remaining strikers such as Sterling and Jesus are difficult to hope for.
In order to solve this problem, Manchester City intends to strengthen the forward line. According to the revelations of well-known journalists such as Romano, Manchester City has circled Dort Haaland and Florence's Vlahović. If you want to reach a transfer deal, you not only have to spend a huge transfer fee but also have to compete with many giants such as Barcelona. As many Manchester City fans lamented: how nice it would be if Ichinacho was still there!
