1 shot and 4 passes! Manchester City's 60 million won the evolved version of Sterling, Manchester United looked at the compass, and the brother was silent

De Bruyne watched from the stands, Haaland was in a slump, but he still couldn't stop Manchester City from winning 6-1 at home. And the leader of this hearty victory is the 21-year-old Belgian winger Doku. Not only did he open the scoring in the game, but he also provided four assists for his team-mates. What's even more enviable is that Manchester City signed the talented winger for only 60 million euros.

In the previous 12 Premier League meetings, Manchester City won all of them against Bournemouth, which also set a record for consecutive wins against a single team in Premier League history. In this game, Foden, Ruben Dias and Gvardiol were on standby, and Haaland, Alvarez and Doku and other post-00s players started together. After the start of the game, Manchester City played very hard, Bournemouth discharged a back 5 formation, hoarding heavy troops in the backfield to closely deploy, making it difficult for Manchester City to penetrate in the front, and Haaland was defended by the opponent's three central defenders.

At the crucial moment, Doku stepped up and in the 29th minute, he and Rodri collided with the wall and fired home to help Manchester City break the deadlock. Just four minutes later, he played on the right side of the opposition defender and sent in a cross to make it 2-0. Doku made a comeback in the 37th minute when his shot from outside the box deflected off the buttocks of team-mate Akanji and into the net, the goal went to the Swiss defender, and Doku added an assist. In the first half, Manchester City led 3-0.

At the start of the second half, Haaland was replaced by Foden with a sprained ankle, and Manchester City completely played the small-ball strategy, while Doku continued to put in a brave performance. In the 64th minute, he took the ball on the left side and slanted into the penalty area, Foden stopped the ball and adjusted the push to score, and the score on the field expanded to 4-0. After that, Bournemouth scored one goal to make the score 1-4 at one point. But in the 83rd minute, Doku took the ball at the back and sent a precise diagonal long pass, Bernardo Silva held the ball and advanced at high speed into the penalty area to shoot at a small angle, and Doku also completed the assist. With Ake's header, the score was finally fixed at 6-1.

In this game, Manchester City had 65% possession, scored 6 goals with 8 shots on target from 21 shots, and the attacking efficiency was impressive. Doku played the whole game, scored one goal with three shots on goal and one on target, and staged a big four assist. In addition, his five successful breakthroughs, five key passes and two tackles were also game-high. After the game, the Belgian youngster received a perfect score of 10 points, which is well deserved.

Since then, Doku has played 12 games in all competitions for Manchester City, scoring three goals and providing six assists, making him the team's main choice in the winger position. When he was playing as a left winger, Mr. Grealish had to be on the bench. In terms of technical characteristics, Doku has incredible speed and excellent technique on his feet, and he is good at making waves on the wings. However, in this game, the Belgian winger also showed his ability to shoot and pass. Especially in the second half, the accurate long pass that assisted Seat B to score a single goal, Doku's open vision and superb footwork are amazing. For 60 million euros, Manchester City actually signed an evolved version of Sterling, and the viciousness of his vision has to be admired.

Since Pep Guardiola took charge of Manchester City, the Blues have been very good in terms of the quality of recruitment, and most of the new signings have shown their due level and continue to make progress under Guardiola's tutelage. And Doku is the latest example of Manchester City's recruitment. What's more, he has only played 12 games for Manchester City and has not yet fully integrated into Pep Guardiola's tactical system, and it is still very interesting to see how far the 21-year-old has grown over time.

With the 60 million euro Doku performing like this, will the 100 million euro transfer fee buy a better player? The answer is not necessarily. Next door Manchester United signed Brazilian winger Antony for 100 million euros last summer, but for more than a season, Antony has been most impressed by his compass dribbling on the wing. This season, he has played 11 games and still has 0 goals and 0 assists. Now that he has seen Doku's gods, Manchester United can only cry without tears.
