In the 9th round of the Premier League, Manchester City away to Brighton. Brighton has been in good shape this season, the biggest dark horse team in the new Premier League season, originally thought that Manchester City would encounter unimaginable resistance, but did not expect that the Blue Moon Army easily won 4-1.
In this campaign, Manchester City Prince Foden won two yuan alone, becoming the brightest star in the whole game. In addition, Gundogan and Mahrez also scored 1 goal each. Of course, some people shine brightly, and some people are dim and lonely. In this game, on the Manchester City bench, Dutch iron guard Acker once again became the frustrated man of Manchester City. In this game, he sat on the cold bench, from beginning to end, he did not get a 1-minute opportunity to play, and completely became a spectator of Manchester City's game.
If it is only a game to become a spectator, Acker naturally will not be so embarrassed, the key is that the new season has been played until now, he has never been reused by Guardiola. In the first 9 rounds of the Premier League, Acker only got 3 appearances, and the remaining 6 rounds of the Premier League, he was all reduced to a spectator, and was ignored by Guardiola.
Last season, Acker joined Manchester City from Bournemouth for a transfer price of 45.3 million euros. At the beginning of the franchise, he once gained the trust of Guardiola and could get a start almost on the field. However, Tiangong was not beautiful, because he was injured because of his participation in the Dutch national team, and he fell into a relatively long period of injury suspension. It wasn't until the end of last season that he returned from injury. However, after his comeback, he gradually became a fringe player of Manchester City, and it was almost difficult to get the opportunity to start.
I thought that after a summer break, Acker would regain the reuse of Guardiola, but he did not expect that he would have a hard time playing the main force in the Manchester City backline. Combined in all competitions of the new season, he has only made 6 appearances for Manchester City, 3 times in the Premier League, 2 times in the Champions League and 1 time in the Community Shield. Among the defenders of Manchester City, except for Zinchenko and Stones, who have suffered from injury, he is the player with the least playing time, which shows that under the tactical system of Guardiola, he is basically reduced to a chicken rib.
Ak is only 26 years old this year, and as a Dutch player, he has the talent and aura that is unique to Dutch players. He is not only physically outstanding, but also has a very comprehensive comprehensive ability, he can play both left-back and right-back, and is a rare all-round defender in today's world football. Previously, he played for Bournemouth for 4 seasons, playing 121 games, contributing a total of 11 goals and 5 assists to the team, which is a rare knife-back in the Premier League. After joining Manchester City, although he did not have much playing time, he still scored 2 goals for Manchester City. Such a strong knife defender, actually can't play at Manchester City, it is really regrettable.
