Instead of wandering around in the three OK, five pine trees of the City crisis day and night, it would be better to think about this circumstance. Wolverhampton appoints Vitor Pereira as their new coach. You've heard of him, of course. A loud, memorable name - like Vladimir Fedorov. Previous place of work - Al Shebab (KSA). Before that - Flamengo. Three months. Before that - Corinthians. Nine months. This is the third Portuguese to be called up by the world's strongest league, the main recruiter of exceptional coaching competencies. There are two Germans, one Italian. This is really something to think about. How did it happen that a nation which 300 years ago abandoned the world stage and became the eternal western outskirts of Europe, a refuge for English pensioners and lonely European wanderers with a sad, fado-like look, suddenly declared itself in the art of intellectual management in the most popular world culture after cinema.

Salah has scored 10 goals + 10 assists this season. The bar that shows attacking balance. And Salah managed to break it already in November. This is his ninth season in which he has broken 10 + 10. • I didn’t include Hulk – 12 (6) and Tadic – 8 (6). After all, most or even almost all of their phenomenal seasons were spent at a different, lower level of the championships. But Hulk can already be called the attacking king outside the top leagues. • Messi is even better than it seems. He has as many as 9 seasons where he scored 20 + 20. As many as 5 seasons with 25 + 25. And he is the only player in history who scored 30 + 30 – and did it twice! • Only three players, not counting Messi, scored more than one season with 20 + 20. Suarez did it 5 times, Neymar 3 times and Lampard (a midfielder!) twice. • Mbappe is the only player other than Messi to have achieved 25+25 in one season

Surprisingly, Aston Villa yielded ground to Tottenham. The result is incomprehensible, the plan worked. For 75 minutes, Aston Villa was better. On counterattacks, they could have opened the scoring earlier and increase it at 1-0. Moments were at 1-1 too. It is an even game, by no means a rout. When the opponent does not rise to take the ball, Tottenham loses its charm. Not everyone is capable of such cunning-moving the line down-in modern football. Emery could. A couple of words about the matches of City and Liverpool, and some personal joy for Salah. Harmony of skill and discipline as it was illustrated by the first two goals of Barcelona. - Barа took a risk again, Espаnyol was in the game and could have come back after 0-3. But this kind of risk fits Barcelona. There was also risk under Xavi, just less suitable for the team. - Napoli's defeat to Atalanta should not in any way affect the assessment of the team condition and prospects. "Go away, nothing happened here."

Well, what to say. As the classics said-the end is somewhat predictable. Though right till the very end I believed that, just a little bit everybody would turn up alive, the wounded come back, all the Ugartes and de Ligts would appear, and the bald ship would rush forward, ramming into everything that comes into its way. At first, Ten Hag looked like some fighting Brother, who seriously got down to business and introduced the basics of special Tai Chi Chuan gymnastics. He shouted, drove his subordinates under the stream, and the idea of ​​​​recreating Ajax did not even seem so absurd. Although later in the text, we will separately note the idiocy of the new management that missed the time and opportunities for changes, gave ETH a complete carte blanche for transfers, and lost all potential replacements. For all that, disappointed, they fired the coach at the end of October.

Fonseca, August 24: "We have an attitude problem, a desire to defend as a team. When the opponent passes our press, we have difficulty coming back, we are not compact. In training, the team is good, then you go to the matches and all this happens. That is not easy to explain. Fonseca, September 17: "We conceded two goals from set pieces, then we lost the confidence, and when a team loses its confidence, it does not do what it has been doing in training. After the second goal, we stopped playing football. Fonseca, 6 October: "We did not have any aggression. I told players that the problem was in not in tactics, we were just not aggressive enough, both in defense and in attack.We were too indecisive." And what a curious expression of words. "It is difficult to explain." But isn't the coach supposed to understand what happens with the team? It's impossible to take not every crisis under control, but publicly to state that you can't explain what's going on seems to be the opposite of what a coach is employed for.
