On the evening of February 8, Beijing time, a key battle in the FA Cup 1/16 final began. Manchester City are away to play League One side Leyton East. Manchester City's new signing Nico Gonzalez, who started the game, suffered a nightmare debut, conceding a goal in the opening game and went off injured after just 20 minutes.

In order to cope with the void left by Rodri's serious injury, Manchester City spent €60 million on the final day of the winter window, bringing in 23-year-old Barcelona veteran Nico Gonzalez from Porto. Five days later, Nico Gonzalez made his Manchester City debut.

However, perhaps due to a lack of integration with his team-mates, Nico Gonzalez made a low-level mistake in the opening 16 minutes, dribbling too much near the centre circle and handling the ball too hesitantly, and was tackled by a Leyton Orient player.

Then Leyton Orient quickly counterattacked, and Donley scored the fairy goal with a long-range shot from the middle circle, taking the lead to help the League One dark horses lead the mighty Manchester City at home. Nico undoubtedly bears a lot of responsibility for the goal conceded.

And just 4 minutes after the gift, Nico Gonzalez was suspected of hip discomfort in a confrontation and had to be replaced by seat B due to injury. He also made his debut at Manchester City for 20 minutes, which was undoubtedly a "nightmare".


It is worth noting that Manchester City's other new signing, Uzbekistan defender Husanov, also made a mistake in his debut with Chelsea, which led to the loss of a goal and a yellow color, and the overall performance was poor. The lack of new signings may have a big impact on Manchester City's results in the second half of the season.
