Look at how explosive the data of multiple libraries is:
1 goal, 1 assist, 87 touches, 55 passes, 53 successes, 11 dribbles, 6 dribbles, 14 ground duels 8 successes, 1 foul.
Manchester City's 4231 formation, Doku as a left insider, compared to Alvarez, Doku is more active, almost single-handedly driving Manchester City's attack. Of City's five goals, three were related to Doku:
In the 74th minute, Doku's sharp breakthrough caused a foul on the Luton defenders, and the referee blew a penalty, and Haaland made it in one fell swoop. Doku's dribbling and turning speed were extremely fast, and the opposing defender fouled as soon as he stretched his foot.
In the 87th minute, Doku took the ball on the left side and faced Luton defender Aung Yeddin Ma. Doku flashed and moved in a row, shook off the Aung Yedin horse with three feints, and fired a low shot through the crotch bridge to the big tree, the whole process was pleasing to the eye, quite Ronaldinho's style.
In the 93rd minute, Gvardiol's world wave, an inverted triangle return pass from Doku.
Giving multiple libraries space is tantamount to suicide. After joining Manchester City for 60 million euros last summer, Doku delivered a good report card, with three goals and seven assists in 23 Premier League games. The Belgian international's left side of the bottom, inside cut, and inverted triangle return pass are all big killers in attack. In this game, Doku made the Luton defenders suffer a lot.
At 3 o'clock in the morning next Thursday Beijing time, in the second leg of the Champions League 1/4 finals, Manchester City will face Real Madrid at home. 3-3 in the first leg meant City needed to win. Who will Guardiola use in the left winger position? It could be a difficult problem for Guardiola: Grealish and Doku have their own strengths and it will be difficult to choose.
In the first leg, Doku sat on the bench for 90 minutes. Stylistically, Grealish is more stable with the ball, and can integrate pass-and-control tactics in positional battles and attrition battles to ensure stability and reduce the turnover rate. Doku is the breaking point on the left side, and the assault ability is stronger. If Pep Guardiola lets Doku run through in the second half, Real Madrid's right side (Carvajal) could come under a lot of pressure.
