Argentina en Semifinales !!!
Se plantó muy valiente en Manchester el equipo de Thomas Frank, en busca de la primera victoria a domicilio en la Premier League en esta temporada. Y encontró el premio con el primer gol de Ivan Toney cuando se cumplía el primer cuarto de hora de partido. Antes, los visitantes ya habían advertido, pero Ederson había respondido con talento a las ocasiones de Onyeka y Toney.

City could not maintain its incredible positive streak at the time of the break of the competition due to the World Cup in Qatar. The team was defeated at the Etihad Stadium against Brentford 1-2. The first points of the season slipped away from Manchester and ended the team's winning streak at home, a full house this season, including eleven at the end of last season.
Thomas Frank's side put in a brave display in Manchester in search of their first away win in the Premier League this season. And they were rewarded with Ivan Toney's first goal on the quarter-hour mark. Earlier, the visitors had already warned, but Ederson had responded with talent to chances from Onyeka and Toney.
After 0-1 City took control of the game, but the "Bees" kept control after the onslaught of the team that could not find its usual rhythm. And when they managed to overcome the visiting defense, they found an effective David Raya, demonstrating his status as a World Cup player with Spain. City's insistence was rewarded with a brilliant Phil Foden strike just before the break. The home-grown player's great shot would have a new scenario and a different perspective of the game in the second forty-five minutes.
Tras el entretiempo se mantuvo el guion con un City dominante y un Brentford fortificado paro amenazante, sin renunciar a las salidas. El añadido de diez minutos tras una larga interrupción por la atención médica a Aymeric Laporte por un golpe en la cabeza abría un nuevo escenario para la épica, como el pasado fin de semana ante el Fulham. Pero el partido se fue de un momento a otroa del lado del Brentford en una rápida salida a la contra en el séptimo minuto del añadido definida por Ivan Toney.

Toney, todo un obrero del fútbol, ex de Barnsley, Shrewsbury Town, Wigan, Scunthorpe, Northampton y Peterborough, fue determinante al poner a su equipo en ventaja y decidir el encuentro en el añadido. Uno de los artífices del ascenso, con 31 goles, récords hasta los 43 anotados por Aleksandar Mitrović la pasada temporada, ya suma diez en la presente Premier League. Solo dos por debajo de los doce del pasado curso. Esperemos el resultado del Arsenal cierra hoy la jornada del sábado visitando al Wolverhamtpon, y quizás pongo unos puntos de ventajas a los Sky Blues en la cima de la tabla.

After halftime, the script was maintained with a dominant City and a fortified Brentford, threatening, without giving up the exits. The addition of ten minutes after a long stoppage for medical attention to Aymeric Laporte for a blow to the head opened a new scenario for the epic, as last weekend against Fulham. But the game suddenly went Brentford's way when Ivan Toney scored a quick counter-attack in the seventh minute of stoppage time.
Toney, a former Barnsley, Shrewsbury Town, Wigan, Scunthorpe, Northampton and Peterborough player, was instrumental in giving his side the lead and deciding the game in stoppage time. One of the architects of promotion, with 31 goals, a record to the 43 scored by Aleksandar Mitrović last season, he already has ten in the current Premier League. Only two below last season's twelve. Let's wait for the result of Arsenal closes Saturday's matchday today visiting Wolverhamtpon, and perhaps put a few points ahead of the Sky Blues at the top of the table.
After the game at the press conference Guardiola gave his thoughts on the game admitting that: "We had a lot of problems and we couldn't press because we weren't allowed to. In that process when they gave it to the striker we couldn't do it, when Toney got the ball through the middle, he created problems". Regarding the opposition he commented, "We had 75% possession and created a lot of chances throughout the game. However, Thomas Frank's team proved to be dangerous.
Guardiola estaba más contento con el desempeño de su equipo en la segunda parte del partido, pero siempre fue clara de la amenaza que representaba el Brentford. Dijo: "Lo vimos los primeros 15 minutos, tuvieron dos ocasiones claras". "Después de eso jugamos mejor y jugamos un poco más rápido. Empezamos bien la segunda parte, pero cada vez que rompen líneas con balones largos nos lo dificultaban". "Fue bastante similar la temporada pasada cuando estuvieron aquí. Tuvimos problemas para crear, ya que su estructura defensiva es tan profunda que te obligan a salir y defienden los centros muy bien".
Tambien Phil Foden tras la derrota 1-2 ante el Brentford comentaba que: "Perdimos, estamos decepcionados. Tuvimos oportunidades para ganar", aseguró el canterano."Ahora tenemos que olvidarlo y arreglarlo al regresar del Mundial". "No estamos acostumbrados a tener este descanso ahora. La Premier League será un poco diferente este año, pero como dije, una vez que regresemos, queremos comenzar a ganar partidos nuevamente y arreglarlo".

Guardiola was happier with his team's performance in the second half of the game, but was always clear of the threat Brentford posed. He said, "We saw it the first 15 minutes, they had two clear chances." "After that we played better and played a little bit quicker. We started the second half well, but every time they break lines with long balls they made it difficult for us." "It was quite similar last season when they were here. We had problems creating as their defensive structure is so deep that they force you out and they defend crosses very well."
Also Phil Foden after the 1-2 loss to Brentford commented that, "We lost, we're disappointed. We had chances to win," said the homegrown player, "Now we have to put it behind us and put it right when we come back from the World Cup. "We are not used to having this break now. The Premier League will be a little bit different this year, but as I said, once we come back, we want to start winning games again and put it right."
