Barca’s 7-0 demolition of Levante
last Sunday might be phenomenal when you simply look on the numbers without
consideration of the type of opponent they have. They may be playing their
highly disciplined style of play again but I believe that with what Manchester
City showed last night in thrashing New Castle with a 4-0 victory is far
better, knowing that the Magpies is not a push-over team. And if only Man City
don’t have so many missed opportunities on goal then they must have buried New
Castle right from the beginning.
Their aggressive and offensive
type of play could have scored them a few more goals especially Eden Dzeko who
was so unlucky not to score from several clear chances he has had. But perhaps
that has something to do also with the excellent saves and quality goalkeeping
by New Castle keeper Tim Krul who was very busy all throughout the match,
diving and parrying here and there. Yet even his outstanding effort and somehow
luck, must have reached its limit
at some point as he surrendered four stylish goals from David Silva,
Aguero, Yaya Toure and Nasri.
And I think Sergio Aguero’s 22nd
minute perfectly fired goal into the far corner is probably the goal of the
match as it was not only a superbly created goal but it also came from the
other half of the field, supplied by Kompany towards Dzeko who mindfully showed
great passing skills. He created a perfect back-heel pass straight into
Aguero’s path then slotted a low shot that went in off the far post which I
think beyond the reach of Krul even with his already outstretch arms. And with
the very resounding 4-0 win over New Castle, Man City emerged at the top of the
leaderboard.
