The Athletic reporter Jordan Campbell reported that Doku and Haaland are strengthening their cooperation in training.
Doku has only assisted Haaland once at Manchester City, which seems to be against common sense. According to FBref's statistics, Doku has assisted Haaland in the game where Manchester City beat Ipswich 6-0 last season. With Duku's breakthrough ability and Haaland's sense of goal score, this should have been a more deadly combination. But at some moments, the two seem to lack a tacit understanding.
reporters said that the two are now strengthening their cooperation in drills during training. Manchester City will benefit a lot if they can establish a better understanding on the court. According to reporters, Doku is committed to improving the efficiency of the offensive third zone and has recently communicated with Haaland during Manchester City training. The reporter said: "Doku recently communicated a lot with Haaland, aiming to establish a tacit understanding, so that the way of passing the ball and the corresponding running position can be formed."
The two actively improve the tacit understanding is undoubtedly a good thing for Manchester City. In theory, their technical characteristics should be perfectly matched. Duoku is good at breaking through full-backs one-on-one, and uses speed and skills to create crossing space or break into dangerous areas. The shortcomings are the shortcoming of the goal and decision-making. Haaland sometimes fails to provide the running coordination required by multiple libraries. If the same frequency resonance can be achieved, Manchester City will gain huge profits, and more goals and scoring opportunities will become possible. The collaborative effort in
training will benefit both parties. Although Duoku's data that only assisted Haaland once at the moment was abnormally low, the two are working hard to change the status quo. If they can improve their on-field linkage, they will definitely become a nightmare for all opponents.
