Palermo 0 – 3 Man City

Tijjani Rejnders put a sign before the Premier League returned with two goals as Manchester City beat Palermo 3-0 in Sicily.

Rejnders was a substitute for the end of the first half, but he scored two elegant goals, similar to the impressive in the box to seal the winning of the Pep Guardiola team in their match before the season before the start of the match next week.

Guardiola also appointed James Trafford in the starting lineup after his transfer of 27 million pounds from Burnley – but England goalkeeper contributed to a brittle start in the game to the city.

Trafford said that one of the great opportunities he rejected in the first half. After closing by Matteo Brunori, the resulting corner saw the head of Pietro Ceccaroni widely from a few yards.

Palermo had more opportunities to break the stalemate, and exposed an unconvincing city for the counter -attack, but in the end, he hit Erling Haland.

The attacker was found by impressive Rayan Cherki outside the area and found the lower angle with his weaker right foot.

Palermo had a good chance for the settlement, but Trafford kept Joel Bohavalo’s head after stopping Abdokodir Josenov for a short period, but City put his foot on the pedal with Cherke runs the show.

The French has almost a goal he deserved as he seemed to click on Oscar Bob’s home after good play from Niko Gonzalez. But his effort was cleared from a few yards outside the line by Salem Diacate.

That was one of the last Cherke’s involvement in the game, as Guardiola replaced both Halland’s Bar Halland at the end of the first half. But it was the direct alternative to Cherki that doubled the lead shortly after its arrival.

The Dutch midfielder, who joined Milan Milan this summer, has gone smart to the area to be held accountable on the Savinho Corridor and fire in the remote corner.

Rejnders has almost a second goal of a very similar step, but his efforts were well engraved. However, it will not go long before he gets the Scoreshet group again as he picked up the smart dust from the divine Mukasa – with the completion of the Dutch in the same corner as its first goal.

Refenders could have had a triple Refenders in the moments that died as he won the ball high to get the individual Palermo goalkeeper Alfred Gomez-but he stumbled on himself at the most important moment.

But the game has just confirmed that besides Cherki, City has a jewel in the midfield while preparing for the Premier League match against Wolves next Saturday, live on Sky Sports.

Analysis: Cherki and Rejnders can store De Bruyne – but can they play together?

Sky Sports’ Sam Blitz:

Question: How do you replace Kevin de Bruyne? The answer can be the Ryan Chirke and Tijani Regends.

This is the quality of De Bruyne and its heritage in the city that Pep Guardiola needed to sign players in this position to fill his shoes. But at the present time, the duo appears to be an ideal stimulant.

Cherki has the ability to be an influential figure in the city’s attack this season. He touched the ball 70 times during a talisman in the first half of the 45-minute-more than any other player who appeared in City on Saturday night-shows how his teammates were confident in the ball.

Not only was the number of times the French got the ball, but also what he did. Of the 61 passes, 20 of them were forward and 37 of them were in half the opposition. He was constantly looking for the vulnerabilities and found a very important one to create the opening of Erling Haland.

Next, Rejnders came in the same position, which showed a different aspect of this attacking midfield. While Cherke was admired by carrying the ball, the Dutchman stole the width by running from the ball.

The 27 -year -old had four shots after his arrival – twice the number of the following players on the field – all of them came from the ball.

Reginers has already shown a strong relationship with Savinho, who played a big role in all of his goals, while also showed the defensive side of his game, and won all four matches.

Simply put it, Cherki and Reginers have proven that both have the ability to unify the attackers in the city. The only question is whether they can play together. If they can do this successfully, Guardiola may have the title of title for the title again.
