The hot Haaland was ruthlessly isolated, Blue Moon turned 3 points into 1 point, all Reiko?

Scored 52 goals in the first 50 games of the Champions League, ranking among the top 10 of the Champions League total scorers, more than the nine participating teams in this year's Champions League in the first 50 games; the away goal rate is as high as 32%, ranking second only to Raul; from the match against Brighton to the present, 8 games have been scored in club and national team events - is such a Haaland enough for Manchester City to win triumphantly from Monaco? Monaco, who was beaten by Bruges in the first round, seemed to have awakened his muscle memory when facing Manchester City. Nico Gonzalez's reckless send-out point and Reindez, who was only 1-point shot with 5 shots, took the right to fire too much, especially the midfielder who lacks athletic ability to retreat, which really made Lan Yue very depressed.

As the most frequently participated in the Champions League outside Paris in recent years, Monaco's biggest advantage may be that it is not a stage fright in the face of the Premier League. In the past seven times, the Principality team won 5 wins, including a 3-1 victory over Manchester City in the 2016-17 season. Perhaps it was because of the memories of foreign games in the first season of coaching that Manchester City obviously did not want to repeat the scene when Mbappema stepped into the joint venture in this game. It continued to attack the home team's hinterland at the beginning. However, Reindes, when the opponent completely emptyed the top of the penalty area, his long shot went into the stands, which seemed to have opened the prelude to the team's wide planting and thin harvest.

Compared to the Dutch who was eager to make contributions in this game, Gvadior obviously knows better who should be handed over the ball. The Croatian central defender made a freehand midfield pass, and Haaland understood and followed the shot.

But Manchester City's joy lasted for only 3 minutes. Monaco pushed the goal horizontally, Manchester City's double midfielder and central defender closed the goal slightly, Teze found the only route among the crowd to make a world wave. Donnarumma, who had made many magical swings in the past few games, had no choice but to do anything. After this slightly unexpected goal, Manchester City's response was to continue to make a fuss in the middle, but Reindes really lost his teammates to create opportunities. Perhaps it was the first time that the shooting was targeted and the psychological shadow was too much. The Dutch shot closer to the goal several times since then, but the timing and footwork were really inappropriate. Foden, who broke into the penalty area, kicked the ball decisively, gave the Dutch a demonstration.

The uneven distribution of the fire rights does not prevent Haaland from giving some sunshine. After Reindez was saved and failed to shoot again, before the side switched in half, O'Reilly's cross accurately found Blue Moon 9 in the crowd, retreated and left Haaland, who was guarding the opponent, headed the ball into the lower right corner with almost no interference, finally avoiding the continued gain and not scoring. However, the Norwegian's excellent form was not recognized by his teammates. Reindes was still the one who led the offense in the second half. However, the Dutch neither delivered shells to Haaland in time nor used the wing to open the field width. He hit the crossbar with the last shot, and the highest 5 shots in the game were only one directed, which really made the audience anxious.

Of course, Manchester City continues to make a fuss on the offensive end, and it cannot be entirely blamed for not bringing shooting boots. After leading, the team contracted too early. Several people in the frontcourt lack support. The B-seater is more and more like a midfielder. Reindez is one of the few points to hold the ball when counterattacking, but the meticulous work is by no means the Dutchman's strength. After Rodri dyed yellow, Guardiola, who said after the game that the 2024 Golden Globe winner did not have 90 minutes of physical fitness, replaced him with Nico Gonzalez. Then Nunes replaced Stones to further curb the impact of Diata and others.

But it turns out that Nico, who was criticized by Guardiola after the League Cup, was really a bit unsupported. At the last moment of the game, he recklessly lifted his foot in the penalty area and hit the opponent's head. This foul was quite similar to Liverpool's final penalty the day before, but the difference was that Galatasaray defender Singo cleared in front of Connat, while Nico hit the opponent's head firmly. Moreover, the referee in this game was Hill Manzano, who was known for his strict standards and controversial punishments in La Liga. Dell scored 12 yards in one go, and Manchester City's hard-working Tottenham Hotspur elements were even seen in the Champions League.

3 differentiated 1 point, Nico, who had no brains, had big eyes. This is not the first time that Espanyol made a mistake and gave points. From his debut in Manchester City against Leiden East in the FA Cup, Espanyol lost the ball first in the midfield and conceded the ball, and then was replaced due to injury. He stayed in single digits last season. Although the frequency of use has increased, the performance is really uncompromising.

Compared to the high probability of the Spaniard's storm, Haaland's barrel was hot on the offensive end but there were no bullets, which was obviously even bigger. Although Haaland said after the B match that "it can affect the game without touching the ball", the parties involved obviously don't think so. The depressed demon was very upset when facing the microphone: "I'm very upset. Everyone should be upset. I don't care about scoring goals. I'm just doing my thing. I didn't think so much about the record. I just didn't feel good about it." And Guardiola, who only used 3 substitutions but had poor results, set the verdict scale: "I have nothing to say to the Spanish referee. We have created enough opportunities, but we don't perform well enough in the face of the opponent's long pass."
