Feyenoord drove City to despair with a sensational comeback – Voetbal International

Already since its Champions League duel from December last year, Feyenoord had lost no more away matches, the penalty shootout series against AS Roma in the Europa League did not begin this year. All that fast, however, it became clear that a button series could be coming. City were on course to put an end to Pep Guardiola’s unprecedented streak of five open defeats, which started this month with a penalty against Sporting Portugal (4-1) and on Saturday recently a new low point sent to Tottenham Hotspur (0- 4) ).

Erling Haaland scored remarkably little in recent weeks as he was in town for a painful series only once three weeks against Brighton & Hove Albion. Tegen Feyenoord was the Noorse goalkeeper early on near the opening goals. The 1 meter 95 long striker knocked the fit Gernot Trauner into the air. Via de paal and the hand of Timon Wellenreuther, they kept the ball out of the goal. Even later, the German goalkeeper created the confidence from Priske, which he always prefers, gave Justin Bijlow, again where. With a great redding, he kept Phil Foden off the scoreboard.

Die kans voor Foden arose with the loss of Feyenoord in the build-up. Although City de Rotterdamse visitors often set early in their own half, they try to the team of Priske try to be behind in football. That worked just fine. Feyenoord stood awake for a long time with all elf players in their own half. It smells, however, still wakes the attacks of City onchadelijk te do. Dávid Hancko, for example, had an excellent block in the house, toen Haaland wilde uithalen. Is ontstonde even what options. So deed Igor Paixão was few with a free shooting chance.

Punishment
Just when they were approaching rust, it all went wrong for Feyenoord. Quinten Timber, with his physical discomforts in recent weeks, must be ready to play, ticking Haaland in the penalty area in a corner. Scheidsrechter Radu Petrescu could not do otherwise than when the stip wijzen and the Norwegians spit, that buitenkansje not ontnemen.

If on the side Rodri also Mateo Kovacic meanwhile to that edge, Guardiola coos against Feyenoord noodgedwongen for Ilkay Gündogan as a controller in the middle area. The Spanish tactic lets the German routine continue to play because of its feelings for position. Still, it was Gündogan die City vlak and rust was again sapped. A deflected corner kick from Barcelona returned midway through Hancko with the necessary touch of fortune. It was a rumble for Feyenoord, so short and rusty after the first half was held.

Cadeautje
The feeling is something that can be picked up from City, flows all the way down to Haaland is a few minutes later and an impressive sprint also 3-0 made. The 24-year-old striker is one of Matheus Nunes’ children. After that, however, the English champions took the gas back and it was only Josko Gvardiol who was dangerous with a bang up de vuisten by Wellenreuther. Feyenoord got air and finally he was also held at the same time Gvardiol with a laconic backspeelballetje without Anis Hadj Moussa in stelling bracht.
