CRISIS IN MANCHESTER
The moment is not good for Pep Guardiola’s team. With the draw with Feyenoord, Manchester City has accumulated six consecutive games without a win , between the Premier League, the Champions League and the English League Cup – the worst streak in the coach’s career. The record includes this Tuesday’s result and six more defeats, the most recent of which was a 4-0 thrashing at home to rivals Tottenham, in the English Championship. In these matches, City has conceded goals in all games and conceded 17 goals in total . Amid the bad phase, the coach renewed his contract with City for another two seasons.
HOW WAS THE GAME?
The first half was not full of chances for either side, but it was City who created the most danger. The English club only failed to open the scoring in the first 30 minutes because Wellenreuther was having a great day and made some good saves. The fans’ hope for improvement came in the 43rd minute, when Haaland was brought down in the box and he himself took the penalty to score.
In the second half, City were 3-0 up in less than ten minutes. Gündogan scored from a corner kick, and Haaland scored another with a sliding tackle. The scenario seemed perfect for a turnaround in City’s crisis, but Moussa brought life to Feyenoord in the 29th minute. A long ball was launched into the attack, Gvardiol headed it back and left it at the feet of the striker, who beat Ederson and crossed the ball. Manchester felt the blow and conceded two more in the final stretch, from Santi Giménez and Hancko, both with the participation of Igor Paixão . In the first, the Brazilian crossed, Lotomba shot, and the striker chested the rebound into the net. And in the second, number 14 made a counterattack, who crossed into the area and saw the defender head in to equalize.
