Ven, the boos of Camp Nou
Blue Moon Manchester City, known for its luxurious squad, after the draw against RB Leipzig, manager Pep Guardiola became the target of everyone, questioning, criticism, and even scolding, people are incomprehensible to Guardiola's stubbornness, people think that according to the blue moon's card, Manchester City should not play like this, in particular, Guardiola said in an interview with reporters after the game that there is no necessary rhetoric for substitution, which makes many people find it difficult to accept.
In the impression, the most angry after the game is probably the Argentine media, watching Guardiola put Alvarez on the bench again, the Argentine media was angry and rushed to the crown, after the game, the Argentine media directly sprayed the use of the coach has problems, it is clear that in the eyes of the Argentine media, as the main member of the World Cup winning team, Alvarez is not respected enough in the Manchester City club, he is not coming to England for a holiday, let alone responsible for guarding Manchester City's water cooler.
To be fair, it's no wonder that the Argentine media is angry, in the past three games, Guardiola only gave Alvarez three minutes, in this way to treat the main members of a World Cup-winning team, it is indeed a bit excessive, three games and three minutes, Alvarez's treatment in Manchester City, and Wu Lei had a fight with the Spaniards at that time.
Why does Guardiola always put Alvarez on the bench? I don't know, the football philosophy of the world's top manager, we ordinary fans are not good to speculate on groundlessly, but the personal ability of Alvarez is obvious to all, isn't it? At the World Cup in Qatar, the Spider has proven itself to the world, at least in terms of World Cup performance, the Spider is capable enough to occupy a place in Manchester City's forward position.
Last night's performance was proof of this, Manchester City ushered in a big win in the 25th round of the Premier League, the Blue Moon won 4-1 away to Bournemouth, and only in the 15th minute of the game, the little spider shone like a firefly, Haaland's shot hit the crossbar, Alvarez added a shot in front of the goal to help the team open the scoring. In the 50th minute, the little spider shined again when Alvarez volleyed and the ball hit Meepam and refracted into the net.
To Guardiola's embarrassment, it wasn't just the spider who proved himself with a perfect performance last night, but also Foden, who was also put on the bench against Red Bull, not only helped the team extend the score in the 44th minute of the game, but every goal of the team was inseparable from Foden, and it is no exaggeration to say that Foden almost single-handedly won the team. According to statistics, Foden has created up to 7 chances in a single game, what is this concept, Manchester City has not been so crazy in 8 years away games.
Imagine if you had started Foden and Spiders against RB Leipzig? Taking a step back, what about having Foden and Spider come off the bench? To be honest, I don't believe Blue Moon, with Foden and Spider, will shake hands with RB Leipzig. As a world-class manager, Pep Guardiola's coaching ability is undoubted, but sometimes he is too stubborn and plays a good hand poorly.
Blue Moon Manchester City have been killing in the Premier League over the years, but their Champions League journey is always full of thorns, they are always on the way to the title, they are always the favourites to win the title, but the result is always the Champions League collapse, why? Maybe it's time for Pep Guardiola to get rid of his demons. In his Premier League coaching career, the coach will complete with another Champions League trophy.
