FIFA Club World Cup • Manchester City F.C. • Urawa Red Diamonds



 The breakthrough!


Matheus Nunes penetrates the Urawa Reds defence from behind and executes a low cross at the six-yard line.


Phil Foden is a few yards behind, so there's not much pressure from a City player, but Marius Hoibraten stretches to clear and manages to put the ball past his own custodian.


In celebration, Pep Guardiola displays the goal fist pump.

Despite getting a lot of ball in his first half, Jack Grealish has not yet demonstrated that level of skill.


After Rodri passes the ball to him, he stretches to nip it over the defender with a forceful first touch.


Then, unable to be caught by Grealish, the ball slips out of play.

Right now, the last 25 yards of the Urawa Reds half contain all 20 of the outfield players.

The most recent Man City player to attempt to get past the defence but be tackled is Mateo Kovacic.

City re-builds, but Matheus Nunes is unable to produce a strong enough header at the back end.

Kevin de Bruyne sitting in the stands was recently shown on the stadium's big screen.


There is a cauldron of commotion to greet him.


With his characteristic carefree expression, he simply lifts a small palm to acknowledge.

Winter solstice 2023

Image
Ripe persimmons hang on the sparse branches of trees along our road like Christmas ornaments. Additionally, each year in late December, our neighbour Diego brings a box of his perfectly ripe persimmons—oddly orange and succulent—and a crate full of holiday pleasure to our door. They are associated with the winter solstice, which represents the sun's rebirth. I arrange a couple beside the candles and cedar boughs on the mantle above the fireplace. Evergreen branches were draped over every window, door, and hearth in the house long before Christmas trees were brought inside. Bright green life, they represent the victory of life over death during the darkest season of the year and are an old talisman in deep winter. And it seems like a darker year this year. I take time out during the weeks before the winter solstice to replenish my energies and nourish myself. I got the ideal present from a student years ago when I was an adult education instructor. I kept talking about how plants go...
