Generals and coaches cheat each other! Guardiola makes a move, Haaland makes the point, Manchester City wins Crystal Palace s first championship in a century

Seriously, sometimes I really want to know what Guardiola is thinking in his extremely smart mind.

For example, this FA Cup final.

No matter from which angle, Manchester City needs this FA Cup trophy to save this failed season, and Guardiola has no reason to make a living in this final.

But Guardiola still couldn't control his restless heart - he had a good life in this final.

When Manchester City's starting 11 players appeared at Wembley Stadium, fans were surprised to find that this familiar 4-2-3-1 is neither Kovacic, who has been getting better recently, nor the former old captain Gundogan, nor Nico who was signed by the buzzer in the winter window. In other words, since Guardiola ranked a starter without a striker and waist in the 2020/21 Champions League final, Guardiola once again ranked a waistless formation in the final.

Of course, Guardiola has made progress, at least this time he even pushed Haaland in front.

The opponent is just a Crystal Palace with mediocre strength. Does Guardiola need to change the formation and live a life? Just one month ago in the 32nd round of the Premier League, Manchester City took over Etihad and then soldiered, and made two chase five, defeating Crystal Palace. Therefore, Guardiola's most secure tactic is to respond to changes in the face of stability and win steadily.

This waistless formation cannot be opened once the attack is not opened, the defense will easily be unable to withstand it. After the opening, Manchester City quickly took the initiative and suppressed Crystal Palace, but the offensive quality was really not high, and there was too much ineffective ball control and transmission.

Before Manchester City's attack bloomed, Crystal Palace used a sharp counterattack tore through Manchester City's luxurious defense line - Matteta passed the ball, Muñoz passed from the right, and Eze pushed the ball to score. Crystal Palace scored for the first attack in the game, and then retreated across the board, tightened the fence and continued to fight back.

Guardiola dug a hole and buried Manchester City in the opening game. After conceding a goal, Manchester City launched a massive counterattack. But this final is no longer under Manchester City's control, and the progress of the game is indeed very fantastic.

Manchester City's offensive was thriving, but it could not pass the goalkeeper Henderson's fingers - this goalkeeper from Manchester United's youth training shattered Manchester City's dream of winning the championship like fate.

Of course, in addition to his brave performance of making 7 saves, Henderson had two performances in this game that made Manchester City fans almost collapse - one was in the 24th minute of the game, he rushed out of the penalty area and slapped Haaland's single shot with his hand, but the referee ignored it; the other was in the 32nd minute of the game, he saved Marmush's penalty and saved the victory.

slapped a single shot with one hand outside the penalty area. Henderson should have been sent off, so there would be no courageous performance of blocking the plunge point, which also made Guardiola lose all his demeanor after the game and refused to shake hands with Henderson. As for penalty kicks, Manchester City fans are wondering why Haaland doesn’t take the penalty?

Why didn't Haaland take the penalty? Don't understand! After Haaland joined Manchester City, he scored a goal, but he did not make any achievements in the finals in all sizes, and he was a conservative match. As the No. 1 penalty kicker in the team designated by Guardiola, why did Haaland give up the opportunity to score in the finals? This is really incredible!

Guardiola was also angry, but it was useless. As Henderson, whose bloodline awakened, continued to perform like a cheat, the hope of winning the championship became increasingly slim. The final score was 0-1. Like the Champions League final four times ago, Manchester City lost to Crystal Palace, giving the opponent the first championship trophy in 120 years of history, and ranked second for the second consecutive year.

Guardiola is doing the job, Haaland asks you to take you, the generals have no discussions on each other.
