If Manchester City plays at home, it is very difficult for them to drop points. It is a team that submits you, that takes the ball away from you and that drowns you in pressure every time you have the option of smelling it. If you add to that the fact that they have many of the best players in the world in their position on the field, and that they create differences almost unintentionally, it makes them have many ballots to be a historic team.
Cancelo – De Bruyne – Foden are the backbone of this team and when one doesn’t show up, the other does. After a rather stuck start to the game, where not even Haaland could break the ice (he ran into the post in the first heads-up he had), it was Joao Cancelo who appeared to put land in between. The Portuguese is a player ahead of his time. What a way to play, what a way to understand what the game is asking for. He doesn’t care about playing on the right or on the left, he is a totally differential player. He showcased himself in an individual play and lit up the Etihad Stadium.
After him came goals from Foden and Mahrez and to everyone’s surprise, Erling Haaland had not yet scored his goal. He looked desperate, with the pressure of the one that he knows that he has the obligation to score one more day. And after trying repeatedly, his goal came. He took advantage of Cancelo’s internship and appeared between the penalty spot and the small area to make it 4-0. His numbers are complete nonsense. 13 appearances for Manchester City and 20 goals. If everything follows its course, we will surely have a Premier League champion at Christmas.
