Nunes Rides the Rainbow at Right-Back…
In a twist worthy of a daytime soap opera, Manchester City’s Matheus Nunes is about to don his superhero cape as the emergency right-back wonder. With Rico Lewis sidelined thanks to a FIFA slap on the wrist, Nunes will get more pitch time under the dazzling disco lights of the football stage. Like a squirrel with a treasure chest of acorns, Nunes will scurry eagerly into the fray while Lewis sits like a sad poet, pondering his missteps.
Rico Lewis didn’t mean to audition for a dance-off, but when he caught Samuel Obeng with what some would call an unintentional karate move, FIFA clamped down with a three-match suspension! Pep Guardiola’s protests rang out like a symphony of squeaky toys, but alas, justice was blind (or wearing football boots). Was it a high kick or an elegant supersonic twirl? Only the heavens know, but now Lewis has elbowed room for Nunes to sashay his stuff at the right-back spot against Juventus.
And who knows? Pearl-in-the-oyster Nunes might just shuffle his way into the starting line-up permanently. With Kyle Walker It’s-a-bye-for-now on his way out and Lewis benched, it’s a grab-your-popcorn, edge-of-your-seat contest. Keep an eye out, ‘cause City might just fish for a new right-back superstar in the transfer river soon. Tino Livramento, perhaps? Or maybe they’ll tap into the Brazilian samba magic by luring Wesley from Flamengo. Whatever happens, the right-back circus is sure to keep City fans chuckling with anticipation!
