Original title: After the famous door! Blue Moon Youngster's Strength Interpretation Blue Out of Blue His father was once the spokesperson for grenade tactics
Although the League Cup is often a hotbed of upset for weak teams, for Manchester City, which have won this competition for three consecutive years, manager Pep Guardiola still sent a large group of young players in the first game of the new season to defend the title, and the blue moon set off a storm of youth.
In today's game, City's starting line-up is 17 years old, Doyle and Harwood Bayliss are 18 years old, Garcia and Bernaway are 19 years old, and even Foden and Ferran Torres brought in in the summer window are only 20 years old. Of the starting 11, City have seven players under the age of 20, and 18-year-old Palmer and 19-year-old Nmecha sit on the bench.
According to statistics from the Manchester Evening News, the average age of Manchester City's starting line-up today is only 21 years old, and it can be said that the blue moon has blown a "youth storm" today.
Although a large number of young players were fielded, Manchester City played quite well overall, and Foden, who was at the heart of the playmaker, sent wonderful passes to his teammates on many occasions. In the 18th minute of the game, Foden went straight down the middle of the field and Delap burst into the left side of the penalty area, facing the players who were close to the defender and the attacking goalkeeper, and he did not hesitate to send the ball into the top right corner of the goal with a left-footed volley.
This goal made Guardiola on the sidelines can't help but clap his hands, partly because of Foden's brilliant pass, and on the other hand, because of Drag's calmness in the face of shooting opportunities. Born on 8 February 2003, Dragp is only 17 years and 229 days old and has scored in his first-team debut and is the youngest player to score a goal debut for Manchester City since Ronnie Lopez in January 2013 (aged 17 years and 8 days).

"I'm happy to score," Drapp said enthritious after the game, "it's a dream come true for me and I am very happy to shoot like that. I saw the goalkeeper leave the goal line and I thought I should let the ball go around him. Although only 17 years old, Dragp wants more opportunities in the first team: "I want to make myself more aggressive and make the opposing defender feel bad all the game and now I want to keep working hard and hopefully take every opportunity. ”
In fact, Dragp is also a general, his father is the famous "grenade expert" of the Premier League, Lori Drag, who has played for Southampton, Sunderland and Stoke City, although the younger Dragp has not been able to inherit his father's out-of-bounds throwing skills and arm strength, but from Manchester City, he undoubtedly started higher than his father, and his future achievements will be greater than his father.
In the eyes of Manchester City fans, Guardiola is in desperate need of a centre-forward now due to Sergio Aguero's injury, so Dragp will not lack opportunities, and they will also see the connection between Foden and Dragu in today's game as a connection between David Silva and Sergio Aguero in the past. England fans are even more excited, although Deep's father is an Irish international, but Dragp Jr. has the opportunity to play for the Three Lions, and some fans even see him as the future captain of the Three Lions.
