It’s hard to imagine and even harder to say, but the City of Manchester of Pep Guardiola He was going through one of his worst moments since his arrival. In terms of results, with four consecutive games without a win Premier Leagueand on the level of play, although it is still close to leaders Arsenal, who have 6 more points.
The ‘citizen’ team came from the games with deficiencies, but the defeat against Aston Villa one more step. Unai Emery he devoured his rival in every respect. With a bold approach and aggressive and dangerous pressure, those from Birmingham dominated the whole rivalry and the victory was fair and certainly short considering what we saw. And if that wasn’t enough, they robbed him of third place.
The game was so bad that many negative records were broken. At the club level, the City of Manchester He finished the contest making just two shots between the sticks and one outside, all in the first half, which meant it didn’t make it to the second. A fact that has not happened to the team since 2007when the sheikhs of the Arab Emirates did not get it. And not only that, it was the game with the fewest shots in over 20 years.
The matter does not stop there, because also for Pep Guardiola a negative record is broken. The Catalan has always been characterized by offering offensive, controlling and finishing football. Even more pronounced since his arrival in the Premier League. That’s why his team wasn’t expected to shoot just three times, something that hasn’t happened to him in the 535 games he’s coached over his entire career in five major leagues.
