In the early morning of December 23rd, Beijing time, the last Club World Cup before the restructuring came to an end. In the final, with Alvarez’s 2 goals and 1 assist, Foden created an own goal and scored a goal. Manchester City easily defeated Fluminense 4-0 to win the championship.
Such a championship also allowed Manchester City to almost achieve the annual Grand Slam. This is a timely help for Blue Moon, which has one win in six games in all competitions and has fallen to fourth place in the standings.
In addition, Manchester City also set three records:
1. Alvarez’s goal in the first 40 seconds is the fastest goal in the history of the Club World Cup.
2. Guardiola led different clubs to the finals three times and won the championship three times.
3. Guardiola also became the first head coach in the history of the Club World Cup to lead his team to four championships.
At the award ceremony after the game, the players were also excited to wear their medals. However, although the three generals in Guashuai’s team witnessed the team win the championship, they failed to get a medal. They are Haaland, De Bruyne, and Doku, who has performed extremely well since joining this season.
According to the rules of the Club World Cup, only players who are on the team’s 23-man roster can receive medals. Haaland had already missed the previous games due to a stress fracture. For a Club World Cup that was far less intense than the Premier League, Guardiola did not take the risk of letting Haaland play, and he was excluded from the squad.
Doku’s situation is similar to Harland’s, and with Grealish’s scoring streak in recent games, Guardiola can rest assured to let Doku rest and adjust.
De Bruyne’s situation is completely different. Ding Ding, who has been recovering from injuries for many days, not only appeared on the sidelines, but also showed a good mental state. According to media reports, De Bruyne has followed the team for normal training after the semifinals.
Even so, Guardiola doesn’t want to take risks. Both he and Haaland know how important a healthy De Bruyne is to the team’s second half of the league and the Champions League.
Of course, because Doku, Haaland and De Bruyne were not included in the squad, the three young players got opportunities and won championship medals, which everyone was happy with.Return to Sohu to see more
