A Manchester City midfielder showed what he is capable of when he backs himself against Southampton
Manchester City came from a goal down to beat Southampton 2-1 in the first FA Cup semi-final at Wembley yesterday. Finn Azaz opened the scoring in the 79th minute to give Southampton the lead and hope of a massive FA Cup boil-over. Azazâs goal was canceled out by Jeremy Dokuâs deflected strike in the 82nd minute. Nico won yesterdayâs match for his team with a 30-yard wonder strike in the 87th minute. Nicoâs goal was the perfect encapsulation of what the Spanish midfielder is capable of when he backs himself. Pep Guardiola said after his teamâs win that Nico needs to back his ability more to take his game to the next level.
With yesterdayâs FA Cup semi-final even at 1-1 in the 87th minute, Nico received the ball from Jeremy Doku 35 yards from goal. He took a touch to steady himself before unleashed a 30 yard thunderbolt that gave Southampton keeper Daniel Peretz no chance of saving the shot. The ball thundered in at the near post to give Manchester City and 2-1 lead. Nicoâs goal would be the match-winning moment of the match. That one piece of magic from the Spanish midfielder was easily the biggest moment in his City career.
It also capped off a more than solid display from Nico in midfield. Nico helped City maintain dominance of possession against Southampton at Wembley. The Spanish midfielder also helped City break up the play when Southampton attacked. Nico wasnât perfect by any stretch, but he did his job well stepping into âs role in the Manchester City midfield yesterday. However, his wonder goal lifted his overall performance from good to great, and as Pep Guardiola spoke of after yesterdayâs match, when Nico backs himself, like he did to decide yesterdayâs FA Cup semi-final, he will take his game to the next level.

Speaking with Football on TNT, after Manchester City became the first team in English football history to make four consecutive FA Cup finals, Pep Guardiola explained what Nico had to do to take his game to the next level. Guardiola explained that Nico has to back himself more, rather than playing safe. Guardiola explained: âWhat a goal! He deserves it because he made an incredible season, replacing Rodri is not easy. He has made a top [season], and what a goal!â
âHeâs a guy who has to believe in himself more, âI can do more, be more activeâ. Sometimes he plays to be safe, and the initiative with the goal, thatâs the mentality he has to play with as a holding midfielder! Heâs a top guy, still young, and he can improve a lot.â
Nico provided the match-winning moment with his thunderbolt that decided yesterdayâs FA Cup semi-final between Manchester City and Southampton. In that one moment, the Spanish midfielder showed what he is capable of when he backs himself to make an impact. Pep Guardiola said that if Nico does this more often, heâll take his game to another level. Nico has been superb for City this season, but it is hoped that his goal yesterday can lift him to another level as a player.
