Britain’s Sports Bible reported on the 30th (Korea time) that “Man City fans were convinced that they had been scammed after the match against Newcastle.”
Manchester City drew 1-1 against Newcastle in the sixth round of the English Premier League (EPL) in 2024-2025 season at St. James’ Park in Newcastle, England, on the 28th.
Yosuko Gvardiol scored the first goal but failed to score an additional goal and allowed Anthony Gordon to tie the game in the second half. Afterwards, the team ended the game without any additional points and only gained one point. Due to the draw, Manchester City ended up with a draw for two consecutive league matches following the match against Arsenal.
The fans were deeply disappointed after the game. With Rodri out for the season due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury, criticism grew as his performance faltered. There were also concerns about the EPL’s first bid for five consecutive games.
Gündogan was the main culprit of the poor performance pointed out by Manchester City fans. “Man City fans believe that Gündogan started before Phil Foden, but he is aging at a much faster pace since his return this summer,” Sportsbible said. “Man City fans thought he was cheated even though he joined on a free agent.”
Gündogan, who began to make his name known in Dortmund after passing through Bochum and Nuremberg, moved to Manchester City in 2016 after his prime at Dortmund. He, who was Guardiola’s first recruitment to Manchester City since his appointment, enjoyed a period of glory with tremendous performance and showed good performance as a captain.
With the 2023-2024 season to go, Guendoan has decided to take on a challenge. He transferred to his dream club Barcelona, and chose his last challenge. Guendoan continued to play for Barcelona and maintained his starting position. He played in 36 league matches and started 33 of them.
However, the situation has changed due to Han Ji-flick’s appointment this summer, and Gündogan chose to return to Manchester City instead of staying at Barcelona. Gündogan played in five league games and three of them were starters. There was no point of attack.
Gündogan’s performance after returning to Manchester City was disappointing, and some fans reacted coldly. Fans criticized him on SNS, saying, “We got it by free agency, but it looks like we got cheated,” “He looks really bad after returning to Manchester City,” “Fans think he is disgusting,” and “It is disastrous that Foden is on the bench.” 토토사이트 추천
It is an old captain who returned after a season, but fans were adamant about the slump. If Gündogan does not rebound, it is likely that the cheers he received as Manchester City captain will no longer be heard.
