The City of Manchester pass the scratching the litmus test of playing without Erling Halland, held from the match against Borussia Dortmund. A victory at the minimum against Leicester (0-1) and thanks to a real barbarity of DeBruyne It’s not something very encouraging for a team that seems to be showing hope in its two cracks.
The Norwegian, who was not even summoned, was replaced at the point of attack by Julian Alvarez, who cannot take advantage of his opportunity to have more minutes, something that is almost impossible today. The type of match did not help him and neither did the fact that City were not very smart.
Brendan Rodgers and his team came out with very clear ideas. Leicester stuck with their eleven players in their own field and sent a clear message to Guardiola: through the center you will not pass. That, added to a circulation that could have been a little faster but wasn’t, the first half was reduced to an infinity of centers that without Haaland in place would be candies for Amartey, Faes and Söyüncü.
Neither team had a very clear chance. In Leicesterwho was with the bus, obviously struggled to find counterattacks, although in some plays he did more.
In particular, Ward and Ederson only had to make one intervention each before them DeBruyne a great goal with no adjectives will be pulled out of the hat as he leaves the locker room. With a free kick a few meters from the edge of the box, the Belgian hit a whiplash that went over the bar and hit the same square before converting a goal (46′), pulling the car without his partner Halland In front.
Sometimes it seems like the party will open, with a city more comfortable and Leicester that over time it had to be stretched, but it didn’t work as expected. Although the ‘foxes’ almost leveled with a Tielemans volley between the crossbar and Ederson managed to clear, then not by much. City decided to stick with their lack of brilliance on the ball and eventually took a fine three points from the King Power Stadium to become provisional leaders in the Premier League.
