Substitution of Rodri became the fuse! Manchester City drew 2-2 with weak teams, Guardiola s adjustment was wrong and the fans were very dissatisfied
1:03am, 4 October 2025【Football】
For Manchester City, after encountering the scene of four big shots last season, many people stacked the problems to the constraints caused by the decline in midfield strength and Rodri's injury. Guardiola also recognized this, so they did buy a lot of similar players in the transfer window, including AC Milan's key player Reindez, Lyon's rising star Cherki, and Nico Gonzalez who was introduced from Porto last season, and Rodri's return from injury is enough for Guardiola, and perhaps confidence will come here.

However, the local competitions were unstable and the Champions League in the morning did not provide them with such a confident stage. At Monaco's home court, Manchester City only delivered a 2:2 answer, which made the fans very dissatisfied.
It should be said that the most important problem in this game appeared again in the midfield's midfield position. Manchester City's strategy in the first 60 minutes was still obvious and clear. However, when Nico Gonzalez replaced Rodri in the 61st minute, the whole situation reversed. Monaco not only regained control of the midfield, but also better demonstrated the ability to combine the side and middle. In the midfield, they not only suppressed the possibility of Nico's shot, but also took crazy ways to cut off Manchester City's connection, which brought enough convenience to create a counterattack opportunity. In the 90th minute, Dell won a penalty and it was almost inevitable that he would finish the equalization. This is also a situation where Guardiola is very dissatisfied, and of course, the fans are even more dissatisfied with the fans. After the game, they almost swept through the comment sections of major social media and forums in Manchester City, and believed that Nico Gonzalez is not worthy of this team and should be sold.

Of course, Bernardo is not much better either. The two were given the first and second lowest scores respectively in the team.

When Rodri and Ryandes and others were there, it should be said that Manchester City still maintained good combat effectiveness, especially after Guardiola gave up pure possession of the ball and took the initiative to play fast, they had some guarantees in efficiency. In the 15th minute, Gvadior helped Haaland to complete the anti-offside insertion through a smart pass. Even though the opponent's four defenders and two midfielders were online, due to the tacit cooperation, Guardiola's pursuit of efficiency and his accumulation of daily training, Haaland's shot was still easy and freehand, making the opponent have no temper at all.

However, on the defensive end, they also have problems with Duoduo seem to have not adapted to the routine after giving possession of the ball. In the 18th minute, Monaco equalized the score through a very Manchester City offensive method, from possession of the ball in the midfield to circling on the wing, and then back to the middle of the penalty area, Teze completed a kick and shot. Although this ball has great luck and personal ability, it should be said that the pressure Manchester City had given to the opponent before was not enough to play Monaco with his favorite routine. Losing points is inevitable.

And in the 44th minute, Manchester City scored another goal, which was relatively novel. After suppressing the opponent's defense through three passes and two guides, O'Reilly gave a cross from the left, Haaland used the header he was very bad at before to complete the goal, and it was also his 11th goal he scored this season in a very popular state. Haaland is making up for his shortcomings and working hard to improve the attributes of the center. We must recognize this.


However, unfortunately, everything seemed to have changed after Nico Gonzalez came on as a substitute in the 61st minute.

First, Monaco increased its efforts to grab a lot of rush, putting Nico under pressure. It was difficult for him to report that the club made a deep-seated transmission in the first half, and could only develop more towards the wing. After coming to the wing, Monaco's defense learned from the first half of the experience and lessons learned from the first half and did not give Manchester City the chance to the ribs, so they had to choose to pass the side, so their offensive efficiency was reduced. On the contrary, Monaco's counterattack was becoming more and more threatening.

Compared with previous teammates, Savigno rarely uses cooperation to create opportunities, and more fight alone, which puts pressure on Monaco's defense. Under this situation, the counterattack becomes more and more accurate, so the final equalization is a certain situation. Guardiola was under great pressure after the game.
