He Manchester City
This Saturday he completed his worst week this season, conceding his first defeat in this edition of the tournament. Premier League and therefore concedes leadership to Liverpool. Group led by Pep Guardiola arrived at Vitality Stadium from Bournemouth with the intention of forgetting the failure he suffered in crashing out of the League Cup last Wednesday against Tottenham, but he was surprised by the team, which, under the leadership of Don Andoni Iraolahad the advantage and won a complete victory (2-1). push City In the final stretch, when they were very close to a draw, I managed to mislead them into thinking that this was another match in which the opponent City was imposed on persons from Guardiola without accumulating merit for it and thanks to specific actions, but everything was not like that. In the global duel calculation Bournemouth from Iraola who seems to have no ceiling like a technician was better than him City.
As soon as the ball started rolling, Bournemouth He made it clear that he was not going to wait. City in your area. He’s already won Arsenal from Mikel Arteta and he was more than willing to extend his reputation as a “giant killer” with high pressure when the opposition creates from behind and counter-attacks when he steals into his own half.
Not even two minutes of the game had passed, Ederson miraculously prevented the score from reaching 1:0, breaking a double save against Evanilson And Justin Kluivert. The Brazilian goalkeeper was good there, but a little later, in the 9th minute, when he could not do anything, Semenyo He stirred in the area after receiving Kerkez left.
From there it was expected that Manchester City took a step forward, but the team led Pep Guardiola lost in his possession, the movement of the ball was slower and more predictable than on other occasions, and even before half-time there was an “ole, ole” sound in the stadium, to which Bournemouth He allowed himself the luxury of coming with the ball.
After the break, BournemouthInstead of locking himself in his zone to take advantage of his advantage, he went for more. And he found the reward for his bravery in the 64th minute, when Evanilsonfree from the brand and leaving a portrait Nathan Ake who continued the game as if it were not his fault, ended with a counterattack with Kerkez which capped off a great performance.
Soon after, he was able to go 3-0. BournemouthBut Adam Smith He forgave the empty door, and then Yosko appeared Guardiolwho became Croatian Sergio Ramos with his attacking ability and ability to score at key moments to liven up the final stretch with a powerful header that made it 2-1 in the 82nd minute.
