The cracks of the Hilal that blushed the City of Guardiola

It's over. Now the Manchester City Close the curtain of the 24-25 and does so in the worst possible way, falling early on the Club World Cup against Al Hilal (3-4). A very surprising a priori result, but perhaps seeing the trajectory of those of Guardiola and the players that the Saudi Arabia team led by Simone Inzaghi is not so much.

Portería

Bono, 34 years

Under sticks Al Hilal has Bono, who was a goalkeeper of Sevilla for four full seasons and who demonstrated in Nervión his ability to win matches. Key in more than one Europa League tie, it also moved that level to the selection of Morocco. Now miracles in the Saudi Arabia team.

Defense

Cancelo, Koulibaly and Lodi

In the defensive plot it is a team that has two long sides that can also be lanes such as Cancelo and Lodi, with a past in Barça and Atlético, which are 31 and 27 years old respectively and continue to give great performance. In the central part there is a wall, which occasionally adds in attack, called Kalidou Koulibaly, former Naples and Chelsea. The Senegalese scored a goal, while Cancelo gave an assistance.

Midfield

Milinkovic-Savic, Neves

In the machine room, the role of Ruben Neves is key, sometimes also third central, such as that element that provides balance and axis on which everything turns. Beside him and with one more round-trip role is Milinkovic-Savic, the clear example of arriving midfielder. Neves, who gave a goal pass with Portugal and 'Mili' with Serbia.

Attack

Malcom y Marcos Leonardo

In the absence of Mitrovic – the great scorer – for injury, both Malcom and Marcos Leonardo are assuming that role. The Brazilian duo is ravaged in rival defenses. The former Barcelona runs to space and has freedom for the entire attack front, while the young Marcos Leonardo for which they paid 40 million to Benfica has three goals in four clubs of the Club World Cup. Good results are no accident. Against Guardiola between the two they put 3 of the 4 goals.
