Manchester, England – Na so we dey hear say Pep Guardiola don back Rayan Cherki to play as false nine for Manchester City. E go fit reduce the goal pressure wey dey on Erling Haaland, wey don dey score like say na him dey worry the goalpost alone.
Dis season, City don dey depend well-well on Haaland for goals. Him don score 11 out of the 17 goals wey the Blues don put for net dis season. Chai! Other City players no fit manage to score pass one goal for league. Na wetin go happen if City wan compete for title? (If e no be for Pep wisdom, who for no hear word?)
Guardiola talk say, “Di numbers of di people up front gats better, dem sabi am, we don talk am.” He mean say everybody wey dey kick ball for di front gats to contribute better goals. But wetin we go do if Haaland dey tire? We go manage staff like Cherki as dem fit dey call am false nine, just in case our main man wan rest or e pull muscle for training.
Omar Marmoush don enter di score sheet now, while Jeremy Doku don also add him own goal to di mix. Cherki sef get him name for di goal list as he clocked him own second goal against Swansea. Dem dey find more players wey go fit join di scoring party make dem no put all di stress for Haaland wahala.
As for Haaland, e don dey rest small small. E miss di Carabao Cup game against Swansea but him go sabi return when City face Bournemouth on Sunday. Na him goal dey hot for di last match wey dem lose against Aston Villa. E don miss score for di second time dis season wey e also miss against Tottenham.
Guardiola dey plan how to manage Haaland time as di season dey run, especially as City dey fight for four different titles dis year. He talk say, “I no think Erling don tire for scoring goals. When e don tire, he go come tell me.” Na di matter wey dey suspicious, but for now, e still ready make Cherki join di goal galore.
“I fit play with false nine, like Rayan Cherki for example. I sabi say Rayan fit do di job well well. When we get di full team, we fit play for different shapes as e dey sweet.” Guardiola tell us dis one as if e be coach wey don chop many palm wine. Di man dey sharp!
