1.31 billion giants debut! Foden passes and shoots Duku breaks the ball drought, Manchester City beats the African champion 2-0

The Blue Moon Army Manchester City, whose performance did not meet expectations last season, has ushered in the opportunity to re-prove themselves this summer. The new Club World Cup has given them a stage to show their strength. On this match day, Manchester City ushered in its group stage debut, against Monaco's team Vadard, who once won the African Champions League three times.

Fourden, who performed poorly last season, was resurrected with full health, staged a good show of passing and shooting, and Doku also broke his five-month goal drought, and finally helped Manchester City beat Vader 2-0, achieved a good start in this Club World Cup, and also took the throne of the first place in the group.

[Match Highlights]

Although Manchester City was short of all the four major players last season, they are still one of the highest-priced teams in football today. With a total net worth of 1.31 billion euros in this Club World Cup, ranking second among all participating teams, second only to the Galaxy battleship Real Madrid with an 1.33 billion euros. The total net worth of Vaderard in this battle is only 17.3 million euros, which is less than a fraction of the Blue Moon Army. It can be seen that the huge gap in strength between the two sides.

In this game, Guardiola played a 4141 formation, starting goalkeeper Ederson, O'Reilly, Aker, Reis and Lewis built a defense line, Reindez played as a single midfielder, Doku, Sherkey, Foden and Savignho lined up in the midfield, and the single arrow was Marmush.

With the referee's whistle, Manchester City completely suppressed Vader on the court and got a fantastic start in the second minute. Savignho made a cross from the right, and Vader's goalkeeper saved, but failed to hit the ball far. Foden scored a supplemental shot near the penalty point, breaking the five-month goal drought and helping Manchester City get a 1-0 lead early. In the 15th minute, Vader player Locke directly shot in the middle circle, but Ederson steadily confiscated the ball.

In the 31st minute, Manchester City made a mistake in the back defense, giving Locke a half-single opportunity. Unfortunately, the latter slipped in the penalty area and failed to complete the shot. Amrabat's shot was blocked by Ederson who was attacking. Before the half-time game, Foden took a corner kick on the right, and Duoku, who was circling the back point, made a volley, also broke his goal drought in the past five months and helped the Blue Moon Army return to the midfield locker room with 2 goals.

The change of sides and then changed sides, Manchester City still controlled the situation. After the steal in the frontcourt in the 55th minute, a counterattack opportunity was instantly formed. Unfortunately, Doku, who was unmarked, shot from the far corner by the goalkeeper Vadard, was resolved with a magic pounce. Manchester City, who was sure to win, made a substitution adjustment in the 60th minute, and Haaland, Rodri and Bob replaced Foden, Sherkey and Doku.

In the 74th minute, Haaland completed the first shot of the game, but unfortunately the left foot shot was not suppressed, and the ball was above the crossbar and directly went out of the baseline. In the next time, neither team was able to create a good offensive opportunity. In the end, the Blue Moon Army defeated the opponent completely as expected and achieved a good start to the Club World Cup.

After this game, Manchester City will get a three-day rest time, and they will then face the UAE team Ain in the second round of the group stage. The latter is not strong. I believe that as long as the Blue Moon Army performs at its normal level, it will not be difficult to win two consecutive victories to lock in a promotion place in advance.
