Even if something is wrong, Foden can laugh out loud. Manchester City may be worse than what it looks like

Ask you how much sorrow you can have, just like Manchester City is also shamed. After being humiliated by Tottenham's four goals last season, this season he once again gave the victim a 0-2 defeat. Although the degree of losing is not as exaggerated as last season, the team's game has shown all the low-level and incredible abstract operations, which always makes people feel that since the loss of the championship last season, Manchester City still seems to have not gotten out of the fog from the King's Army to the Champions League foul.

Faced with Tottenham in reconstruction, Manchester City, who won four goals away from home in the last round, did not show much desire to win. The number of shots far below the opponent's opponent's goal shows everything. Haaland, who scored twice in the team's debut season, did not have any serious shots in the whole game.

He headed the ball in the penalty area twice, once directly expelling the effect of anti-aircraft guns, and once as the role of Tottenham defender heading the ball to clear the ball. What's even more exaggerated is that in the second half, Manchester City intercepted in Tottenham's penalty area. Haaland, who got the ball on the edge of the small penalty area, did not choose to shoot himself, but did not wisely pass the ball across the middle, resulting in the inadequate teammates not following the ball. Seeing an excellent chance to score, Haaland was easily sent away by Haaland.

In contrast, Tottenham striker Richarlisson, the second-rate scorer who has successively endured Kane and Son Heung-min and then put his competitor Solank on the bench, performed much more positively than Haaland. In addition to a wonderful anti-offside assist, he also indirectly assisted his teammate Palinia in the chaos in the penalty area, making great contributions to the team's 2-0 victory.

If Manchester City's performance is only poor, Haaland may be able to rely on others to step up and turn the situation around, but the problem is that the entire team seems extremely abnormal. The team had few good opportunities, almost all of which ended the battle in the most unwise way, as if they were afraid that Tottenham would not be able to complete another incredible victory at their doorstep.

In addition to being in poor condition, the team's spirit is even more hateful. In the second half, Tottenham Hotspur made a quick counterattack. The opponent's advancement was not too fast, but facing the team's 3-to-5 situation, Manchester City's midfielder seemed to have surrendered, and there was no desire to catch up quickly, but just watching the opponent achieve the advantage in the number of players in the area. If Tottenham winger Johnson hadn't had the same ability and wasted opportunities irrationally, Manchester City would have likely lost more. In contrast, the picture that makes people feel that something is wrong with Manchester City is also the one with Foden's nerve-wracking laughter. At that time, his team was already behind 0-2, but Foden smiled unrestrainedly at the camera twice. Once, I laughed for no reason on the bench, which was in sharp contrast to the serious expressions of teammates such as Doku, Husanov, and Rodri. Another time, I was warming up on the sidelines and chatting with my opponent's substitute Solank, and then I laughed shamelessly again.

Considering that Foden has been marginalized by coach Guardiola since last season because of his poor condition. Seeing the poor performance of his starting teammates who replaced him, Foden really has reason to laugh. But after all, the team is not performing well, and even if they smile, they have to cover their mouths and sneak up, right? But judging from Foden's performance, the young man's level seems to be incurable at a young age, but his IQ and EQ are at risk of hardship. Such a Manchester City won the league championship, even whether they can maintain their position in the Champions League will probably make people feel worried.
