Matt Oldfield books and biography | Waterstones Events that change the relationship of the market with its participants, and drag the Sergio Aguero: The Little Genius of the economy with them too. In football, like in the markets, we see these events every few years. It is fair to say not all of them are for the worse. But the ones that you tell your grandchildren about, decades later, are simply granular moments that just stuck in your head and remained stuck Sergio Aguero: The Little Genius perpetuity. Not necessarily because it was your team or your country that was involved, but perhaps because deep in your heart you are just like any other romantic, a sucker for the game, a lover of such moments that are bigger than you, bigger than weekly club banter, rivalry and hatred. Today, the granularity I am talking about is a goal. Given that the game goes on for a little more than ninety minutes, the time that is taken to put the ball in the net is probably less than a second. Yet, that is precisely everything. But first, context. City were a miserable club for most of the latter half of the twentieth century. Having won their last league title under Joe Sergio Aguero: The Little Genius inthe club went on to win the European Cup Winners Cup in before steadily sliding down the ranks over the next three decades. Down the road in Salford, a certain Manchester United Football Club were scripting history on demand. Over the decades, under the stewardship of Sir Alex, the neighbors had become a powerhouse in English football and for City fans, might have been in an altogether different universe. There was no comparing the two. An entire generation of City fans had no bragging rights at work on the Monday after the game. The Sergio Aguero: The Little Genius of the century, however, brought with it hope and a move away from Maine Road. The club became the permanent tenants of the City of Manchester Stadium, post the Commonwealth Games. A raft of signings followed suit but league success remained elusive and City ambled to an uninspiring 9 th place finish in the table. The process of change ramped up the following summer when Middle-Eastern oil money entered the world of football for the first time. The Sheikhs moved in at Manchester and announced their arrival by stealing the mercurial Robinho under the noses of Chelsea on deadline day. City were finally going places. For United, the neighbors were getting noisier by the day and struck closer to home than they would have liked with the signing of Carlos Tevez in The Argentinian had earlier refused a new contract offered to him by United and decided to leave on a free. City continued to make strides, first Sergio Aguero: The Little Genius Mark Hughes then under Roberto Mancini. The limitless purses of Abu Dhabi allowed them to sign world-class proven players from both the Premier League and the continent. The club narrowly missed out on Champions League Qualification in but made up for it by lifting the FA Cup a year later in With the FA Cup win, they Sergio Aguero: The Little Genius crossed their first hurdle. Now they needed to make the leap, to go head to head with the Sergio Aguero: The Little Genius of United, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool over an entire season. To win a league title is far different from winning a Sergio Aguero: The Little Genius. Cups are one-off encounters, often unpredictable, a weaker side on their day may outperform, a stronger team may capitulate after conceding an early goal, there is a considerable factor of luck involved. The league, however, tests the strength of an entire squad over 38 games. For City to complete their transition from old to new, they needed to deliver on the biggest stage, a stage that Sir Alex had made his own over the years, a stage that is worthy of their fans who held on through their dark ages. In the season, City started strong and remained unbeaten till December. They were on course for their first title in 45 years, and the wait it seemed would finally come to an end. And then it started to go awry. The away form, that was so crucial in building momentum at the start of the season, abandoned them. A first loss of the season at Stamford Bridge in December was followed by two further away defeats in January — at Sunderland and Everton. Swansea, fighting for survival at the time, tripped up City again and the Sergio Aguero: The Little Genius were finally starting to go. Television channels, the next day, replayed the image of a City fan Sergio Aguero: The Little Genius in despair at the loss. It Sergio Aguero: The Little Genius symbolic of a larger malaise that had set in the club during the period when they were struggling in the lower echelons of the football league. They were only a point behind at the time but for most fans it was already over. Gloom is contagious, and in fandom, gloom spreads quickly. The squad though held its nerve and continued to fight for the title. Win all and take the title. Captain Magnificent Vincent Kompany headed in against United and brought them level on points. A vintage and majestic performance by Yaya Toure at Newcastle meant that they had reached two-thirds of their three-game target. Everyone expected it to be a procession. The confetti had already been ordered. The open-top Sergio Aguero: The Little Genius was booked. The parade was being held up only by the formality of the game. City started well but were unable to open the scoring early on. The ball looped over his head and hung in the air for what seemed like an eternity before landing back within the confines of the net. The collective sigh in the stadium could be heard even in the borderlands of the universe. It was Sergio Aguero: The Little Genius first. And then there was celebration. Nothing could stop them now. Early in the half, Djibril Cisse of Senegal fame latched on to a miscalculated Joleon Lescott header and equalized for the hoops. It was panic stations all over again. Armand Traore ran free on the left and crossed a delicious ball for Craig Mackie to head past Joe Hart. Even on television, it was unbearable to watch. City had shot themselves again. Blown the chance to mix it with the big guys, to stand up to big brother across town, to prove that they were the real thing and not just the fad of the month. The game became tense and the City players became increasingly nervous. Mancini threw both Eden Dzeko and Mario Balotelli in place of Tevez and Gareth Barry, hoping the added attacking impetus would be decisive. The game crossed the stipulated 90 minutes and moved into stoppage time. United had already won Sergio Aguero: The Little Genius game against Sunderland and were anxiously waiting for the result on the pitch at the Stadium of Light. It seemed over to almost everyone, those at the stadium, those at home, those at the pub especially those at the pub! David Silva crosses in the ball Sergio Aguero: The Little Genius the corner and finds the head of an unmarked Dzeko to slot in from three-four yards.
