From the two consecutive losses, he was determined to miss the championship battle to only 3 points left from the top, how long does it take? In the first week of October, when the unbeaten golden body broke completely, Manchester City, which was so angry that it played in the Champions League in the middle of the week, changed, but it seemed that it had not changed. What changes is first and the result is second, the muscle memory of the transmission and control of the moor; what remains unchanged is still Haaland, who can still hit the deadly attack after being separated from the fire by Foden and Reindez. Since entering the Premier League, only Anfield has not been captured by the Devils. He scored goals on all fronts and scored at least 9 goals, and he can really talk to Mbappe about the 2026 Golden Globe Awards, but Rodri got injured after only 20 minutes of playing, which really hurt the team.

showed a pick-up shot and header in the mid-week. Haaland, who could not pick out the bones in the shooting session, showed off his strength and down ten times at the Brentford Community Stadium. After forcing Van Denbech, the Dutchman's angrily shot from the near goal really made Kellech desperate. This season, Haaland scored exactly 10 goals directly, accounting for 67% of the team. He is the only top six players in the top 5 rankings, second only to Semenho (9 goals, 82%) and Jaden Anthony (5 goals, 71%). The Premier League official INS forwarded this goal video, with concise text: "Fighting against Haaland? Impossible!" Brentford coach Andrews also stated after the game: "We have no problem with defense. Few strikers in world football can score such a goal." This goal also made Haaland approach the ancient record again. In Premier League history, only Alan Shearer was able to complete 15 goals on all fronts in October and 1992-93 and 1995-96 seasons. Of course, with the age and contract length of the Devil, what Hiller should worry about the most is his identity as the historical scorer king in the Premier League.

But Manchester City's joy did not last long. Without obvious confrontation, Rodri sat on the court with his hamstrings covering his squats, indicating that he could not persist in the game. Guardiola could only use Nico, who performed poorly on the court. Since his comeback, Rodri has only played 90 minutes in two matches against Brighton and Arsenal this season. He was replaced after only one hour of playing in the middle of the week. He still can't avoid bumps and bumps. Fortunately, after the game, many followers revealed that Rodri was not seriously injured this time, but he was destined to be absent from international matches. Considering Guardiola's strict control over his game time, Rodri is likely to be absent from the battle with Everton on October 18.

Compared to the draw here last year, Manchester City players who started both happy and worried have not valued the value of Haaland's can opener. Reindez, who shot 5 shots and only 1 positive in the middle of the week, spitting out cakes in a crazy way. It was Foden's turn to fail to achieve his haste in this game. After losing the list of the Three Lions, Fordon's body language was full of resentment in this game. He forced his feet on the edge of the penalty area twice, neither looking at the jungle-like defensive formation in front of him, and he was really slow to shoot in front of him. However, Reindez, who was also inappropriate in the middle of the week, knew his mistake and corrected his mistake. His unmarked shot at the back point almost expanded his lead, but Kellech quickly lifted the ball, and Manchester City could only lead with one goal. In the UEFA Europa League weekend, many strong teams fell in terms of physical fitness and concentration, and Manchester City almost joined this ranks. The second half was only 2 minutes into the game. Manchester City made consecutive mistakes during defense: First, they raised their hands to signal the opponent to make a foul and were ignored by the referee. Then, Diaz accidentally slipped while resting in the middle circle, Gvadior emerged, and against Manchester United, Thiago Igor, who hit the opponent silently, made the opponent's silent Thiago Igor go straight in, and Donnarumma made the only and most critical save in this game. The Italian goalkeeper accurately attacked and blocked the opponent's shot. The protagonist of the game afterwards was another Italian, Cayode. Facing O'Reilly, Cayode, who had the advantage in explosiveness, almost turned into Muños second, especially when he threw the ball several times, he threw the ball straight over the penalty area, which really made Manchester City, who lacked air defense high points, nervous.

But overall, the pace of both sides was slightly slow in the second half. With Haaland no shot at all, Manchester City, which had this strategic contraction, finally put three points in the pocket, even though Donnarumma's big foot hit Shad before the end of the game, scaring his teammates in a cold sweat. Compared to the city's mortal enemy who was stinged by bees, Lan Yue, who pays more attention to the results rather than the process, no longer cares about the reality that Haaland stands out and the rest is mediocre. Guardiola admitted after the game that the Premier League's plan always cannot keep up with the changes: "Three weeks ago, someone said that Liverpool had locked in the championship. Isn't it also changed now? For us, the key is to keep improving. It's too early to analyze and draw conclusions in 7 games. Although we haven't been able to maintain our best condition for 90 minutes, after all, the opponent's confrontation intensity and psychological pressure are great, the team is indeed getting better."
