Man City failed to concede two goals, so why were they knocked to the ground by Wolves?

Manchester City conceded two goals, which can actually be attributed to two reasons. One is a mentality issue, and the other is an ability issue. Why is there a mentality problem here? Because many times when a strong team plays a match against a weak team, the stronger team will often be careless or too anxious because they are the dominant team.

Being careless is because you think you will win surely, so you underestimate the other party, which gives the other party an opportunity to take advantage of you. The anxiety may be because the stronger side is eager to defeat the weaker side and psychologically feels that it must win. This psychological burden sometimes affects performance. However, the weaker side has no such concerns. They are not in a hurry to defeat each other, nor do they have the mentality that they must win, so they fight more freely, and often this optimal state makes it easier to win the game.

But Manchester City cannot rule out that his overall level did not perform well at the time, or declined slightly. Although the Wolves did perform very well in this game, most of the players performed well and were flexible in passing and grabbing the ball. But City struggled from midfield as the first half faltered. As a result, the players began to panic in the second half. In many cases, their playing style was too conservative and seemed very cramped. Manchester City's weakness is that their attack power is relatively weak, and their defense is not very strong, making it difficult to advance and retreat.

Taken together, I think Manchester City failed to seize the opportunity in the first half. In the second half, their mentality was abnormal and their performance was poor, which led to their loss to the Wolves. But every team has losses and wins. I hope they can work harder next time!
