In a blast! Manwan: The combination of Doku + Haaland is powerful, Doku can break through and pass to help teammates

The Manchester Evening News wrote an article that Manchester City winger Doku's recent explosive performance is becoming the key to his teammate Haaland's continuous goals.

Doku admitted that he was in poor form before the September international match day, but since then he has completely transformed, and contributed assists and goals in consecutive games against Manchester United, Naples and Burnley, and has become an indispensable absolute main force for the club and the national team.

Doku's threat lies not only in his excellent dribble. In a 5-1 victory over Burnley, he completed the game's most seven dribblings and 10 confrontations and created three excellent opportunities. This ability to continuously attract and defeat defensive players (often double-teamed) creates huge offensive space for teammates such as Haaland and Foden.

In the past, Duoku was often criticized for not being able to convert dribble into final goals or assists, but now he has made up for this shortcoming, which has made him a nightmare for the defenders. Manchester City fans even nicknamed him as "Golden Ball Duoku", indicating that if he can maintain stability, his future will be limitless.

Last season, the opponents could still concentrate their forces to defend Haaland, but now, the rise of Doku makes Manchester City's offensive combination more perfect and difficult to guard against.
