Guardiola misunderstood? The new goalkeeper of 31 million pounds cheated Manchester City! Give a gift for mistakes + hit the opponent and escaped

9:31pm, 23 August 2025Football

On the evening of August 23, a focus match in the second round of the Premier League began, with Manchester City playing against Tottenham at home. In the first half of the game, Manchester City starting goalkeeper Trafford performed poorly. He first attacked outside the penalty area and knocked Tottenham scorer Curdus to escape the red card, and then made a mistake and gave Tottenham a second goal. In this summer window, Manchester City spent 31 million pounds of high-priced transfer fees and signed back to Trafford from Burnley. The 22-year-old local goalkeeper was given the No. 1 jersey that symbolizes the main goalkeeper by Guardiola.

However, in the second round of the new season, Trafford contributed his nightmare performance. Trafford started his own botched performance after Tottenham relied on Brennan Johnson's counterattack in the 35th minute. In the 38th minute, Tottenham almost got a good opportunity again. With Kudus about to get the ball to form a one-on-one, Trafford attacked and knocked Kudus directly outside the penalty area with his knee, who fell to the ground in pain.

But it is incredible that the referee did not make any statement. Slow-motion replay shows that Trafford's attack hit someone this time was enough to destroy a single foul and should be sent off by a red card.

This is not over yet. In 2 minutes of stoppage time in the first half, Trafford made another fatal mistake. He opened the goal and passed it to his teammates from close range, but was intercepted by Tottenham players. Paligna easily won the first goal after joining Tottenham, and Tottenham expanded the score to 2-0.

After seeing such a bad performance by Trafford, whether Guardiola regrets letting him replace Ederson and become the team's main goalkeeper in the new season, perhaps this will accelerate Manchester City's introduction of Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper.
