3 data is the highest in the field! Manchester City's Mr. Billion returns to the king, Pep Guardiola suffers from happiness troubles
On November 8, Beijing time, a key battle was staged in the fourth round of the Champions League group stage, Manchester City defeated Bern Youth 3-0 at home, and joined hands with RB Leipzig to qualify. In this game, Manchester City's billionaire Mr. Grealish started the game and played the whole game, and provided Foden with an assist, and his performance was remarkable. His rivalry with Doku for the left winger position has brought happiness to Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola.
Manchester City made a big rotation for this game, with Rodri, Bernardo Silva, Doku and Alvarez all on the bench, while Grealish started as a left winger. City were firmly in control from the start of the game, with Jack Grealish also active on the left. In the opening six minutes, he sent a selfless pass in the box, but Lewis's push was cleared by the defender on the goal line. His breakthrough then led to a foul on Berne midfielder Lauper, setting the stage for the latter's second-half transition from two yellows to one red.
In the 23rd minute of the game, Haaland scored from the penalty spot. In first-half stoppage time, Grealish stepped up to the plate and found Foden on the right with a pinpoint diagonal shot after winning the ball in midfield, who used his ability to burst into the box and score from a tight angle to extend the lead. In the second half, Haaland scored one goal and was substituted. Grealish continued to stay on the court and frequently drew fouls. In the end, after 90 minutes, Manchester City won 3-0 to win four consecutive wins in the group stage and locked the group qualification place in two rounds in advance.
Grealish played the full game, delivering one assist on three shots and one on target, as well as a game-high seven key passes and five fouls. In addition, he also had 2 tackles, 2 crosses and 2 long passes, and all 7 ground duels were successful, and he scored a game-high 9.0 points after the game, surpassing Haaland, who scored twice.
One of the heroes behind City's European treble triumph last season, Jack Grealish has struggled a bit this season with injury concerns and Doku's arrival. In the last round of the English Premier League, Manchester City beat Bournemouth 6-1, and the 21-year-old Doku not only opened the scoring, but also staged a four-time assist. Grealish, on the other hand, sat on the bench for 90 minutes. In his post-match interview, City boss Pep Guardiola said Grealish needed to 'get angry' and go head-to-head with Doku. In this game, we saw a "furious" and excellent Grealish.
It is worth mentioning that in the 80th minute of the second half, Doku came on to replace Kovacic, so that Manchester City had a grand occasion of Grealish, Foden and Doku competing on the field, and all three had excellent performances in the left winger position. It seems that, at least in this position, Guardiola has happy troubles.
