It wasn't a very good performance from the perspective of a 'perfectionist'.
Manchester City announced Pep Guardiola's official press conference on the club's official website on the 11th
Manchester City defeated Fulham 4-0 in the 37th round of the 2023-2024 Premier League held at Craven Cottage in London, England at 8:30 p.m. on the 11th.
Manchester City has secured 85 points (27 wins, 5 draws, 5 losses), beating Arsenal (83 points) to become No. 1. Manchester City is one step closer to its first four-game winning streak in the Premier League. Fulham, which had failed to win at its home ground, ranked 13th with 44 points.
Manchester City went ahead early. In the 13th minute of the first half, Gvardiol advanced quickly and advanced into the box by exchanging one-two passes with Kevin De Bruyne. He beat out Fulham's defense and scored the first goal with a right footed shot. 토토
An injury happened in a bad way. Nathan Ake suddenly collapsed in the 16th minute of the first half and could hardly get up. He shook his head complaining of pain. In the end, Pep Guardiola replaced Ake with Kyle Walker.
Manchester City was strong at the end of the first half. The Bruyne's shot was blocked by defense in the 38th minute of the first half, and Bernardu Silva's shot was deflected off defense in the 43rd minute of the first half. Manuel Akanji missed a crucial opportunity in the ensuing corner kick attack.
The first half ended with Manchester City leading 1-0. Fulham couldn't make a single shot throughout the first half.
Manchester City scored an additional goal. In the 14th minute of the second half, Phil Foden scored a powerful right-footed shot inside the box to score the goal. Making his 17th goal in the league, he displayed his trademark "Sniper Celebrity."
Holan missed the perfect opportunity. He had a one-on-one opportunity in the box in the 16th minute of the second half and scored with a left foot curled in. However, the ball that left Holan's foot went off the post absurdly wide.
Josuko Gvardiol scored multiple goals. In the 26th minute of the second half, Silva sent an early cross behind the defensive line. Gvardiol rushed and put his foot on it to finish. At first, offside was declared, but it was recognized as a score after a video review.
Manchester City made it 4-0 with a goal in extra time in the second half. Deoff committed a foul in the box, gave up a penalty, and he was even sent off. Julián Álvarez stepped up as a kicker and shook the net. The game ended with Manchester City's great victory.
Gvardiol, a defender with two goals, has emerged as a hero in the game. Gvardiol scored two goals with two shots, five touches inside the opponent's box, and three pitches in the final third area, showing off his brilliance in the offense.
Guardiola says he is not satisfied. "Gvardiol's performance in the second half was not very good. He missed a lot of balls," he said, pointing out that he was not good in defense.
"The most important thing for a defender is to play 'safely'. Playing simple. This is the most difficult thing."
"It is always welcome to score goals. But scoring goals is not his role," Guardiola said, focusing on criticism rather than praise.
Meanwhile, Manchester City, which aims to win its first four consecutive Premier League titles, will face Tottenham Hotspur on the 15th.
