Dangerous Brazilian
Football pundit Danny Higginbotham has said that North London giants Arsenal should look out for Brazilian international Fernandinho during their Carabao Cup final match against Manchester City on Sunday evening.
This is as per the former footballer himself written in the Sun, in which he said that the former Shakhtar ace is the player that makes Pep’s team “tick” and is the one they should watch closely in the tie.
Taking abou the final clash and the Brazilian, Higginbotham said Belgian Kelvin De Bruyne has provided 18 assists for City this term after all, Spain international Silva has 10 and Argentine Sergio Aguero has scored 29 goals. But he felt the player they must be man-marking is the South American.
Man-marking a holding midfielder
He further added that man-marking a defensive midfielder may look odd – he’s not as “dangerously” eye-catching, not like De Bruyne, Aguero or Silva – but he is the one that makes the Etihad giant tick.
Both teams will be going into the game at Wembley Stadium today looking to win the first major trophy of the season.
The tie is certainly going to be hotly contested and obtain a lot of quality, as both teams look to win the 2018 Carabao Cup.
