DBasia.news – Manchester City’s offensive and entertaining performances are getting better in the third year under Pep Guardiola. City are getting better after breaking the 100 points record last season and won the Premier League.
The Citizens just signed Riyad Mahrez last summer from Leicester City. However, their performance persists: emphasizing the ball possession and offensive-entertaining strategy.
But, this season, Man City aren’t as good as last season in chasing the Premier League title. Apparently, their rival, Liverpool, are also achieving the positive results and lead the temporary table.
Man City are four points behind Liverpool. The latest victory was achieved by City when they won 3-0 against Huddersfield Town on the 23rd-week of Premier League, Sunday (20/1) by the goals of Danilo, Raheem Sterling, and Leroy Sane.
The additional three points give the pressure on Liverpool who won the 23rd-week by the seven goals drama (4-3) against Crystal Palace at Anfield. Not only achieving three points, but they also scored the special record in that match.
Among five top leagues in Europe like in Spain, Germany, Italy, France, and England, Man City are the most accurate teams with 102 goals this season. The 102 goals are almost equal to Paris Saint-Germain (90 goals) and Barcelona (78 goals).
The goals achievement is also even, thanks to the offensive and flexible strategy of Guardiola. Two Man City strikers Gabriel Jesus and Sergio Aguero lead by their goalscoring achievements (14 goals), followed by Sterling (12 goals) and Sane (11 goals).
The other goals came from: David Silva (9 goals), Mahrez (9 goals), Bernardo Silva (7 goals), Ilkay Gundogan (4 goals), Aymeric Laporte (3 goals), Kevin De Bruyne (3 goals), and Phil Foden (3 goals).
Two goals created by Kyle Walker and Brahim Diaz (currently in Real Madrid) and one goal came from Danilo, Fernandinho, Nicolas Otamendi, and Aleksandr Zinchenko. In total, there are 17 different goal creators of Man City this season.
Considering Guardiola’s strategy, no wonder Ederson Moraes could also score the goal. City might also surpass the 156 goals record in 2013-2014 under Manuel Pellegrini leadership.
