In a focus game in the just-concluded Club World Cup 1/8 finals, Manchester City lost to Riyadh Crescent 3-4 and missed the final of 8, and Saudi United team Riyadh Crescent successfully advanced.

In this game, in the first half, the B seat was the first to break the deadlock. Marcos Leonardo and Malcolm scored one goal each within 6 minutes to overtake the score.

In the 94th minute, Kulibali headed the ball to overtake the score. In the 104th minute, Foden scored a goal and tied again. In the 112th minute, Marcos Leonardo scored the final goal.

Manchester City fans were quite disappointed in the 3-4 game result. This game is really too cold and the plot is so magical! What makes Manchester City fans feel uncomfortable is not only Manchester City’s 3-4 Riyadh New Moon, but also the following seven points.

1. Manchester City fans were unable to match the Manchester City group stage and were invincible. They were eliminated in the first knockout match. The contrast is too big. It is really a world of ice and fire. How can fans suddenly accept it?

In the group stage, Manchester City conquered Asian teams, African teams and European teams, 5-2 of which Juventus was heartbroken, Manchester City also became the only team in the Club World Cup to qualify for three consecutive victories, and Blue Moon also became the favorite to win the Club World Cup. Unexpectedly, in the 1/8 final, Manchester City was eliminated in a sad way, and it was revealed that the Club World Cup was super unpopular. Fans encountered a huge psychological gap, which was quite regretful and quite unsatisfied.

2. Manchester City fans are hard to match with Bunu. It seems that it is that wall. Manchester City has really met its nemesis.

Manchester City's own goalkeeper is not good at guarding the goal, and the goalkeeper opposite Manchester City is really good at guarding the goal. Bunu is the goalkeeper of the World Cup semi-finals team and has a great background! In this game, facing the powerful Manchester City, they made six wonderful saves in the first half, four wonderful saves in the second half, and ten wonderful saves in the whole game. If it weren't for Bunu, the Asian team would have been beaten long ago! In the group stage, Bunu saved Valverde's penalty. In this way, an excellent goalkeeper is of importance to a team! Some people have long said that a good goalkeeper can match the top half of the team, and this is true!

3. Manchester City fans were unhappy with Ederson's first three shots and were thrown away. In the end, Marcos and Leonardo scored the final goal. The Brazilian goalkeeper was completely defeated by the Moroccan goalkeeper.

praised the opponent's goalkeeper, let's take a look at Manchester City's goalkeeper. Although his reputation is not small and has been through the battlefield for a long time, his performance in this game was really poor. Riyadh shot three times in the first three new month, Manchester City conceded three goals in a row, and no successful save. In the last moment, Ederson conceded another goal, and finally, Manchester City was defeated! Ederson has been in Manchester City for a long time now. Guardiola trusts him too much and he lacks competitiveness!

4. Manchester City fans are unable to match Doku's possession, as if Stirling and Sane were possessed, becoming a happy striker.

Bayern Munich played against Benfica in the group stage, and Sane missed a one-on-one twice. In this game, Duoku performed very well, and he was very good at passing the ball, but his last shot was too bad. Haaland headed the ball, and Duoku's shot was so close that he actually shot away. Manchester City's two wingers were really not good at shooting skills. Missing such an opportunity will eventually be punished.

5. Manchester City fans are unable to match Manchester City's current defense line is too bad and has been broken through by Riyadh Crescent many times. Is a defense like

Marcelona City OK? If even Riyadh Crescent can't resist the attack power, how can you resist the attacks of Arsenal and Liverpool in the Premier League? The goalkeeper is not good, the defender is not good, and the midfielder is not good. Manchester City seems to have a strong offensive. When the opponent fights back, Manchester City often can't stand it. Now Manchester City has no longer had iron-blooded defense.

6. Manchester City fans were unable to match the bench in the second half, and Rodri was replaced again in overtime, and he was more or less injured.

The fans have a slight worry about Rory Dri's outcome. If there is no mistake, Rodri may be injured. Whether it is a major or a minor injury, he will feel uncomfortable! The former strong midfielder and Manchester City's mainstay have been recovering for a long time. The new season has not yet begun. If the injury occurs again, it will really make Guardiola's brain-wrenching and make the fans sad!

7. Manchester City fans are unable to satisfy their desire to change their coach with Yad's crescent moon.

Compared to Manchester City's reusing Guardiola, Riyadh's new moon's coaching change effect was immediate. He was unbeaten in the Club World Cup for four consecutive games and became the glory of Asian football. Simeone Inzaghi is really a god! Where is Guardiola's strategy? Fans also want to see the former Manchester City god!
