After Pep Guardiola’s team defeated Juventus in the FIFA Club World Cup on Thursday, Manchester City supporters have been talking about one star. The Premier League team won all three points in their last group game, claiming first position in Group G, with to goals from Jeremy Doku and Erling Haaland, Phil Foden, and Savinho, following an own goal from Pierre Kalulu.
After a difficult season, the 2023 Champions League winners have put on an outstanding display this summer, helped in part by the return of stars like Rodri. The majority of the praise from City fans on social media, meanwhile, went to another important player.
Fans Impressed With Doku’s Performance
The Belgian had a strong showing Stateside
Even while the sweeping victory gave City supporters many reasons to celebrate, Doku’s performance received the most positive remarks. The Belgian scored three goals in his last three club and national team games with a deft finish after checking inside with a superb first touch.
The winger was in outstanding form, winning 11 of 15 duels, completing seven of his eight dribbling attempts, and making one crucial pass in his 28 successful tries from 32 games, albeit that was undoubtedly the best of his career.
The 23-year-old has long been seen as a maverick in the City squad, offering a more unpolished alternative to Guardiola’s typical, more refined widemen. But with his recent surge in goals, City supporters think he might have a strong season ahead of him.
“Jeremy Doku wants to grow as a person. I discovered space, frozen that defender, and then boomed. One fan commented on X, “Very good stuff,” while another said, “This season, Jeremy Doku wants blood.” I’ll die on this hill, and this is his year.”
“Jeremy Doku will be among the top wingers in Europe next season,” said a third. Jeremy Doku has made significant progress this year, according to a fourth person who expressed similar views. It’s safe to say that right now he’s playing at his peak. He might have a season.
