ANDREAS CHRISTENSEN - AGAINST MAN CITY HE WAS WORLD CLASS 🤩

MCI since the restart has scored 8 goals in 2 games. So if there was ever a game where you needed the defense to stand tall then this was it. AC did just that and some.

Let's recap this colossus performance...

1/9
Sterling Brushed Aside:

For me, this was a stupendous shoulder barge. Sterling is undoubtedly one of the best wingers in world football and AC brushed him aside like an amateur player. The timing and adequate force required for this tackle were sublime.

2/9
Jesus Threat Nullified:

Most dangerous situations occur when in possession and a pass is intercepted in your own half. AC was out in a flash to close down the threat from Jesus and he doesn't stop there. He carries on to track Jesus so he can completely nullify him.

3/9
KDB Cut Off:

KDB gets some open space out in the wing but AC did not give an inch away in this match. Closing City players down and simply not letting them breathe.

KDB tried to go 1 v 1 against AC but AC with a no-nonsense shutoff!!

4/9
Key Interceptions:

When defending deep against a supremely well-drilled attacking side, you have to be in full concentration the entire match. You cannot afford to switch off.

AC read the play brilliantly throughout the match and pounced on any interception.

5/9
Closing Down Angles:

Once again brilliant read of the game. He is so quick to see what was transpiring in front of him once Sterling makes the pass and Gundogan makes the run.

Closes Gundogan off in a flash and gives him no angle to work on. Top class defending!

6/9
Almost Scored:

The defender deserved a goal here but a great save from Ederson stopped this from materializing. A goal would've been a massive confidence booster for him. Frank would love to see his CBs score like this.

7/9
Almost Assisted:

This was a phenomenal long ball which almost led to Pulisic's 2nd goal. Look how calm and collected he looks with the ball. Looks up, scans the situation, and then CHAOS from Pulisic!!

I can't believe Walker saved this!!

8/9
