At 4 a.m. Beijing time on December 12, in the 6th round of the Champions League stage, Juventus hosted Manchester City.
In the first half, the two sides played a very close and uncreative game, with only one shot on target from each team, and Haaland missed a single knife to draw 0-0 at half-time; In the second half, Yildiz set up Vlahovic to break the deadlock, before McKennie came off the bench to seal the win and Weah provided an assist.
In the end, Juventus sent Manchester City 2-0 away from home with a 7-game winless run in all competitions.
Juventus vs Manchester City,Motta lined up in a 4231 formation, with Vlahovic in front of him, Koopmeiners behind him, Conceição and Ildiz flanked by him, Locatelli and Thuram Jr. in the back, Savona, Gatti, Kalulu and Danilo formed a back four, and Di Gregorio was in goal, with a starting value of 322 million euros;Pep Guardiola lined up in a 4231 formation, Haaland burst forward, De Bruyne behind him, flanked by Doku and B, Grealish and Gundogan partnered in the back, Lewis, Gvardiol, Dias, and Walker formed a back four, and Ederson was in goal, starting at 690 million euros。
In this campaign, Manchester City dominated the opponent and occupied the ball advantage, but Haaland, who is worth 200 million euros, as a 1.91-meter Nordic center, does not have the ability to be a center forward with a back and a head, which leads to Manchester City's positional battle and no city hammer. From a personal point of view, Haaland's long legs in addition to counterattacking, do not have the ability to be a super striker, he does not have any creativity to score, and he also missed a single knife in this campaign, his ability is poor and his state is sluggish, and the identity of the most expensive striker in football is seriously overestimated. Juventus resolutely defended the counterattack, and Walker, as the captain of Manchester City, was riddled with family affairs and was out of shape. Compared to Haaland, Vlahovic is more like a center forward, scoring with a header; Then Weah burst into the right side of the penalty area to pick up a pass, substitute McKennie volleyed to seal the win, Walker completely leaked, lazy attention to the defense, it is really a sinkhole for Manchester City, pit one game after another, Guardiola is still using it, this person is not removed, Manchester City is difficult to prosper. In the end, Juventus sent Manchester City 2-0 to seven away games without a win in all competitions.
Full game,Juve managed just 31% possession and a total of 10 shots on goal with 5 of them on target; Manchester City had a total of 12 shots on goal with 3 of them on target。 Haaland, who is a 200 million euro striker, scored 2 shots and 1 target in this campaign, which is really a stretch, and scored 6.3 points after the game, the lowest score for the 22 starters of the two teams.
