Pep Guardiola's Manchester City has resumed its march forward. The Cityzens missed during the Club World Cup when they had strengthened between the end of the English season (and a FA Cup final lost against Crystal Palace) and the tournament organized in the United States, with the arrival of Rayan Aït-Nouri, Tijjani Reijnders and Rayan Cherki. They fell into the round of 16 during a fairly improbable extension against al-Hilal (3-4), on July 1.
The Premier League resumption was much simpler on Saturday afternoon, with a 4-0 victory on Wolverhampton's field, with the beginnings of James Trafford in goals. Erling Haaland offered a double (34th and 61st) and the Reijnders (37th) and Cherki (81st) recruits opened their counter in the Premier League. The French international made the nets trendy with a distant strike only seven minutes after entering the game. Promising while he will try to make a place in support of the Norwegian cyborg. Facing the Wolves, Oscar Bobb and Jérémy Doku were responsible for occupying the wings to overflow.
Tijjani Reijnders really hit hard since he is only the second Manchester City player to launch his career at the club with a goal and a decisive pass. Only Sergio Agüero, the top scorer in the history of the Cityzens (260 goals from 2011 to 2021), had previously achieved this performance. Author of the second Mancunian goal of a crossed left strike, the Dutch midfielder then served Haaland on the 3-0 in the second half.
Reijnders and Cherki scorers, Aït-Nouri Leader
The player recruited from AC Milan, with a high -quality game intelligence, should make Pep Guardiola happy. Rico Lewis, right side in the defensive phase, trained the double pivot in possession with Nico Gonzalez, leaving freedom to Tijani Reijnders and Bernardo Silva to rush between the lines, sometimes in support of Erling Haaland. They will be essential this season with the departure of Kevin de Bruyne.
Rayan Aït-Nouri is not to be outdone. The 24 -year -old left side found his old audience and felt like a new leader of Man City by finishing with the most affected balloons, the most tackles, the clearances and the most interceptions of all the players of the meeting. The Algerian international trained in Paris FC and Angers (he is a native of Montreuil) could also shine by his ability to do everything.
