After all, even though he's not physically weak, he's essentially a technical midfielder. His strengths lie in awareness, passing, and overall game vision.
As for Gundogan, he positions himself as a metronome, playing the role of bringing the ball out of the mid and backfield, controlling the tempo.
However, when Gundogan's agent told him that the current Premier League is not what it used to be, and Manchester City's possession football is even comparable to the legendary Barça of the past.
"No need to worship your idol Harvey, going to Manchester City, you can become their Harvey!"
The agent specifically instructed him to carefully observe the performance of Manchester City's Chinese player Tang in this match.
"Don't underestimate Tang just because he's not yet 20, there's a lot you can learn from him!"
Initially, Gundogan came to watch this match with a learning mindset.
