Did you know They couldn’t fail. They were – and are – more aware than anyone that raising a new title of the Premier League It depends solely and exclusively on what they do on the green. And in Craven Cottage demonstrated, once again, why They are the team to beat.
Ya van twenty consecutive games without defeat. And it is said soon. Because the Manchester City He had to put on his overalls and score as many points as possible in this final stretch of the campaign to win the game by hand. Arsenal y Liverpool.
And seeing that the ‘reds’ withdrew from the race a couple of days ago, they only have to win both games What is left for them to revalidate their crown and raise their sixth Premier League in seven seasons.
CONSTANT DISCOMFORT
I already warned Pep Guardiola in the previous Craven Cottage it would not be a tasteful dish for a Manchester City He lives by and for the control of possession of the ball. “I don’t know anything about grass, because last season it was very, very high and dry“said a coach whose game is based on total control of the ball.
And, curiously, except for Nottinghamthe ‘citizens’ had put four or more goals in their last league games – against Brighton, Luton Town, Crystal Palace y Aston Villa -. The ‘cottagers’ put up a fight at the beginning, with a couple of runs towards the goal of Ederson and making it difficult fluidity in the rival’s game. And in front of Fulham It was not going to be less.
THE CITY’S ‘SURPRISE FACTOR’
After the first ten minutes of the game, the City He became owner and lord of the possession. And it wouldn’t take long for the occasions. No sooner said than done. Barely two minutes later, and after a choral play between What, Guardiol and De Bruyne the first of the game would arrive.
The Dutch center back – who minutes later had to be replaced by Kyle Walker – played away with the Croatian, who first played a De Bruyne who returned the ball to him so that, after cutting inside to place it on his right leg, beat Bernd Leno with a low cross shot.
Who would have thought that whoever was disputed for his offensive contribution at the beginning of the season it would take four goals in the last month? ‘Mojó’ before him Lutonhe Nottingham and the Real Madrid in Champions. While Kevin De Bruyne added one assistance further (9), to become the second top assistant – next to Cesc Fabregas – historic of the competition (111).
AND FODEN TOOK OUT THE WAND
From here, monologue ‘citizen‘ in Craven Cottage. They all gathered – or practically all – in the rival camp, playing and playing, until the Bernardo, Foden, De Bruyne and company will rub the lamp.
And after the resumption, in addition to Marco Silva add freshness and explosiveness to the attack with the entry of Adama – who put a good ball to a Muniz that touched the goal – the City put land in the middle.
We had not reached the game time that Phil Foot made it clear – if it had not already been clear – why he is a footballer who make differences. Bernardo, who with a great turn broke away from his pair, drove diagonally and, although he lost the ball, the prodigio de Stockport He picked it up to send it to storage. And she did, just like Guardiolwith his less good leg.
And when the game seemed like it was going to end just as it started, with (another) goal from Josko Gvardiol, Julian Alvarezwho entered in the final minutes, converted a penalty caused by Issa Diop, who saw the second yellow. Next Please.
