In the context of nearly all of Man City’s pillars having problems, Savinho is gradually becoming a glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel in the blue half of Manchester.
Savinho scored 1 goal and assisted 1 goal to help Man City end a series of draws and losses
In the match against Leicester City in round 19 of the Premier League, Savinho was the one who opened the score for Man City. After Foden’s low long shot hit the ground, Leicester’s goalkeeper tried to reach out to save. But after the ball bounced out, Savinho quickly rushed in and shot the ball into the opponent’s net.
This is the Brazilian player’s first goal after 24 appearances for the blue half of Manchester. And he didn’t stop there, he also assisted Haaland to score the goal that sealed the 2-0 victory for Man City.
This is the first victory of the Green Man after 5 consecutive unbeaten matches in all competitions. More broadly, Man City had their second victory in the last 14 matches.
It cannot be said that this victory can end Man City’s series of poor matches when this team is still playing quite deadlocked and very lacking in confidence. However, it nonetheless helps relieve their pressure somewhat and brings a lot of hope for the new year 2025.
And the person who brought a ray of hope to the blue half of Manchester was Savinho. It is no exaggeration to say that he almost single-handedly brought victory to the team and temporarily alleviated an unprecedented crisis.
Savinho is expected to be the one to revive Man City
Savinho was brought in by Man City in the 2024 summer transfer window for 35 million pounds with a 5-year contract. He is the most notable rookie of this team in the summer when “veteran” Ilkay Gundogan only joined as a free agent.
Previously, Savinho played extremely well in Girona’s shirt. He helped this team win third place in La Liga and a spot in the 2024/25 Champions League. In total, Savio contributed 11 goals and 10 assists after 41 matches in all competitions.
Man City fans hope that Savinho will help the team’s attack add new features. And the fact is that he has been used a lot since the beginning of the 2024/25 season. Unfortunately, this player has not left many clear impressions.
In the gloomy picture of Man City in the 2024/25 season, Savinho is as faded as other millionaire stars. In 23 appearances in all competitions, he only contributed 5 assists and 0 goals.
However, in the match against Leicester, Savinho shined brightly with 1 goal and 1 assist. This could be the premise for this Brazilian player to begin his ascension at his new team.
With most of Man City’s stars from Haaland, De Bruyne, Foden, Doku, Grealish to Bernardo Silva all playing poorly, Savinho’s expected explosion could be the “salvage” for the 2024/25 season. of the green half of Manchester.
