Manchester City lost to Crystal Palace 0-1 in the FA Cup final. After the game, more people discussed not losing the championship, but Haaland's giving in this time, which also illustrates the problems Manchester City is facing now. Many people say that football is a team sport and cannot allow individual heroism to appear, but what about the facts? When your team has problems, the first person the coach will think of is the incarnation of the hero, because he is the core of the team and the hope of the team.
In Barcelona, when the team encounters difficulties, many players will say that I will pass the ball to Messi, and Messi is the core of this team, which is the responsibility. Although many people believe that when Messi becomes Barcelona's No. 10 player, he loses the joy of playing football, because he knows that the entire team is carried on his shoulders and he needs to move forward under pressure.
And what is the situation for Manchester City now? When De Bruyne left, who is Manchester City's core player, Haaland? It is now very obvious that Haaland is the core figure of this team, but he dare not be the one. Is
because of this penalty? This time, it should be said that Haaland has always been a microcosm of mediocrity in key games. The fans' eyes are bright. Haaland is very outstanding. This is well known to everyone, but he did not perform well in key games, which is also well known to everyone. In key events, Haaland's responsibility is even worse than a substitute.
Guardiola introduced Alvarez to train Alvarez to become the core player of the team, but by chance, the training process was advanced, completely disrupting Guardiola's rhythm. In the World Cup, Lautaro performed poorly and had no choice but to send substitute Alvarez, but his performance after playing conquered everyone. What is a key competition? Is it the World Cup? Surely so. Alvarez is a player with great wisdom and responsibility after performing so well in such a big competition.
Back to Manchester City, Guardiola has already understood that he can no longer follow the steps, but with Haaland's existence, no one is willing to admit that Alvarez is stronger than Haaland, but it turns out that Alvarez is more suitable for Manchester City. If Alvarez and Haaland swap this season, will Manchester City's results be the same?
Although we are just assumptions, the results cannot be changed, Manchester City players and fans who often watch Manchester City games should be clear that Guardiola imprisoned Haaland for a obsession and let Alvarez go. This is Guardiola’s mistake and he should change it.
But in fact, if Alvarez stays in the team, he doesn't have much requirements. Even if he is given a fixed midfield position, Alvarez doesn't want to leave, and Manchester City will not collapse completely this season. If Alvarez and Haaland choose one of them, many people will choose Alvarez now, but would anyone choose Haaland like Guardiola?
