King of the start, I'm the new king of the Azzurri

Chapter 234 Premier League Civil War

Fans who follow the Premier League know that in recent years, Premier League civil wars have rarely occurred in the knockout stages of the Champions League.

The recurrence of such a situation this time has already caused some Premier League fans to shout that the Premier League will rise, and this year's Champions League will accept the rule from the Premier League.

Regarding Pochettino's selection, Guardiola did not make too many adjustments to the formation.

The starting lineup is still the same, but Mahrez replaced Sterling's right winger.

Forwards: Sane, Li Feng, Mahrez

Midfielders: David Silva, Fernandinho, Kevin De Bruyne

Defenders: Theo Hernandez, Laporte, Otamendi, Kyle Walker

Goalkeeper: Edson Morais;
There are not many changes overall, but one thing that needs special attention is that Laporte seems to have become "brittle".

During this year's schedule, both he and Stones took a period of rest, which resulted in Manchester City temporarily falling behind Liverpool in the league championship.

Now that there have been variables on the road to the championship, Guardiola has the idea of ​​​​readjusting-that is, shifting the goal from the league.

The moment the whistle sounded for the start of the game, Tottenham's players began to "pour out". The desire to fight they showed was very strong, which also caused Manchester City to respond passively at the first time.

In particular, the weakness in the defense was once again "caught" by Harry Kane. Otamendi, who is not inferior in strength, suffered "suffering" in height.

This also caused Manchester City to continue to pour resources into Otamendi's position.

In the 11th minute, Eriksson in the midfield sent a cross, and Harry Kane beat Otamendi to grab a point.

His header flick gave the chance to his best partner up front.

Although the shot was blocked, for Tottenham, they have already touched the most suitable tactics for them!

The corner kick went to Eriksen again. As Pochettino retreated him to the midfield, Tottenham's offense performed even better. The only thing that needed attention was its own defense.

Although Vertonghen is the team's defensive pinnacle, it is fundamentally impossible to rely on him to limit Manchester City's offense.

It is still Tottenham's offensive round, so they still have a chance to change the score.

The quality of the corner kicks is quite limited, and then we need to see who can help Tottenham Hotspur make a difference.

"It's still Tottenham's point, Harry Kane did it back, and Ali from the outside took a long shot!"

"Edson Morais!!!!!!"

"With a quick save, Manchester City protected their own goal."

"Tottenham Hotspur got another chance for a corner kick. This is another great opportunity. I wonder if there is a player from Tottenham Hotspur who stands up!"

The commentator Yu Miao believes that the score will change very quickly.

The corner kick was given to Eriksson again, but this time he seemed to have a new view.

The quality of the corners taken is still on the line, but this time he is no longer targeting high points in the penalty area.

One point was still given to his teammates, and Ali, who followed, kicked and shot angrily.

The ball is fast but not that high, which hardly tests Edson Morais.

The ball was directly confiscated by Edson Morais in mid-air.

An excellent opportunity was directly "killed" by Edson Moraes, which means that Manchester City will invest more "forces" in the next attack.

The conversion of offense and defense made Manchester City begin to fumble for the next offensive.

Edson Morais doesn't have big feet, he gave the ball steadily to the backcourt players.

After several passes, Manchester City has already handed over the team's offensive focus to Kevin De Bruyne.

With a simple score, Manchester City has already squeezed through the half.

Li Feng caught the ball with his back, and his thought of turning around just now was snuffed out by the surrounding Winks.

The players gathered in the middle are very fast, which makes it more difficult for Manchester City!
But for the current Li Feng, he has already made a plan.

Chen shouldered a shot, Li Feng tricked the ball past the defender, and he alertly distributed the ball to Mahrez who was on the right.

I saw Mahrez moving forward in small steps.

With continuous feints, Mahrez swayed out of space, he dunked the player who made the tackle, and the rubbing shot with his left foot made Lowry make a difficult save.

Although they failed to score, Manchester City has fully threatened Tottenham Hotspur's penalty area.

If this rhythm continues, Manchester City will be the first to change the score on the field.

If Manchester City takes the lead first, it is not good news for Pochettino.

In order to avoid such a situation, Pochettino tried to convey his "adjustments" to the players on the field.

It's a pity that no one cares about him!

The "task" of taking the corner kick was once again given to Kevin De Bruyne.

The midfield master has set his sights on Li Feng. Judging from the current header competition, Li Feng is Manchester City's most reliable link.

Give him the ball, then Manchester City will have a higher chance of scoring the ball!

The corner kick from De Bruyne is great!

This means Tottenham's test is coming.

"Vertonghen kept stopping Li Feng, which tested Li Feng's personal ability."

During the commentary, Li Feng "bumped" away from Vertonghen. When he took off, Li Feng felt the power behind him.

Li Feng, who lost his excellent position, failed to head the ball into the net.

Tottenham Hotspur escaped disaster for the time being.

The game continues.

36 minutes.

Tottenham caught Theo Hernandez out of position and Eriksen crossed.

The pass was so precise that it landed almost directly on top of Harry Kane like a cruise missile.

"drop!!!!!"

Before the result came out, a crisp whistle sounded on the field.

This does not seem to be good news for these two teams.

Everyone's eyes fell on the referee's finger, and the joys and sorrows of the two parties suddenly deviated.

"Tottenham's penalty, Otamendi's reckless move cost the team dearly."

"If nothing goes wrong with Tottenham's penalty, Harry Kane will take the penalty. This is a very stable penalty shooter. For Manchester City, they now hope for Edson Morais!"

The commentator began to speculate whether Harry Kane could score the ball directly.

The Manchester City players on the field are in constant communication with the referee.

After a short exchange, the referee still insisted on his decision.

This makes Manchester City feel the pressure!

Penalty-taker Harry Kane stood at the 12-yard line.

The biggest player in Great Britain, he took the penalty kick without any hesitation.

A run-up shot, Harry Kane made it overnight, Manchester City fell behind!

"The penalty went in!"

"Manchester City is behind, they are now 0-1 behind in the away game!"

"To be honest, Otamendi still suffers from a top center like Harry Kane."

Yu Miao can still accept Yu Otamendi's foul. After all, he is also trying to prevent Tottenham Hotspur from scoring through his own efforts.

It is a pity that Otamendi's foul action was clearly seen by the referee.

The sudden penalty made Manchester City a little confused.

As Tottenham Hotspur ended their celebrations, Manchester City also returned to calm.

For the Tottenham Hotspur players, it is already a situation of holding the lead, then they will shrink their defense and try to drag the game to the end, which is what Pochettino specifically requested before the game.

Although this is the home court of Tottenham Hotspur, the difficulty of Manchester City made Pochettino make a more "counseling" decision.

Ali naturally disagreed with such a decision.

As a young player, Ali naturally hopes that he can seize the opportunity and use goals or assists to prove that he is one of the best characters in this version.

This is the source of Ali's actions after Manchester City's kick-off.

Faced with Ali's pressing, Manchester City naturally didn't take it too seriously.

Li Feng handled the return pass very steadily, and the midfielder was controlled by David Silva and Kevin De Bruyne.

The reckless Ali failed to take advantage of any advantages, but instead gave Manchester City a chance to move forward.

With a few unpretentious passes, Manchester City once again suppressed Tottenham Hotspur in their half.

Li Feng resisted Vertonghen with his back, this is what Li Feng did the most in this game.

This time it was still the case. Facing Li Feng's position, Vertonghen could only respond passively.

And this time Li Feng's blocking got a response from his teammates.

Kevin De Bruyne's through ball tore through Tottenham's defense. What makes people feel the pressure is Kevin De Bruyne's through ball. good.

Li Feng, who played for him, naturally would not let go of such an opportunity.

"Li Feng responded, and De Bruyne stepped in and fired angrily!"

"The ball hit the crossbar and flew towards the stands. The opportunity really came out. Unfortunately, De Bruyne failed to hold the ball. Tottenham Hotspur's goal kick."

The opportunity was really good, but it's a pity that Manchester City failed to convert it into a goal.

Yu Miao felt a little pity for such a result, but the game is not over yet, so the final winner is still unknown.

The game continues.

What makes Manchester City fans feel a little stressed is that after the whistle at the end of the first half sounded, they were still in a backward situation.

For the fans who traveled with the team, they are really afraid that the team will not get much from the away game. Then when they return to the home court and meet the head coach, it is really possible for them this season. All four are empty!
"The first half is over. It is a little surprising that Tottenham Hotspur, an unfavorable team, has temporarily taken the lead. If Guardiola does not use this intermission time to adjust, then Manchester City may will lose the bout.”

Yu Miao has his own opinion on this and believes that in the next second half, Manchester City will use a more powerful attack to equalize the score.

【Hey, this game may be suspended. If you fall behind by one point, Guardiola will start to work hard. Everyone will be happy after finishing the work. Once you fail, there will really be nothing left! 】

[I really think this first half was okay. If I really want to find a problem, it is that Manchester City failed to seize many opportunities. 】

[Tottenham Hotspur's overall performance is okay, but judging from the division of labor in this game, Pochettino is obviously the one with more ideas, and their lead is in line with common sense for the time being. 】

[Fuck it, it means that the management doesn’t want to spend money, no, it’s because the management can’t find suitable players, they’re constantly looking for suitable players rather than lacking them! 】

【.】

Manchester City fans are obviously a little worried that the team will "overturn", but to be honest, Manchester City should be the team with a better chance of winning the game.

But the actual result was that the relatively weak Tottenham Hotspur took the lead in rewriting the game on the field.

I believe that in the coming time, the game will be even more exciting.

This is the expectation of all fans, but to be honest, Tottenham Hotspur are obviously more prepared.

However, the game has not yet been explained, and Manchester City still has enough time to equalize the score.

I believe they will find their best form in the second half after loyal adjustments.

The short intermission is over.

Players from both sides also returned to the court, and the game restarted at this time.

The players of the two teams are constantly struggling on the field, and they all want to "tear off" a piece of flesh from the other side.

There is enough time. If you want to win or maintain the current situation, you need to see who can get the corresponding "information" first.

In the 61st minute, it was Eriksen again. The full midfielder's choice to retreat to the midfield greatly improved Tottenham Hotspur's competitiveness.

Another accurate cross, Tottenham Hotspur is still targeting the "loophole" in Manchester City's defense - Otamendi's height.

As a forward with a header, Harry Kane's performance has become more and more stable, and he has continuously gained an advantage in the top battle, which has caused Otamendi to become the "weakest" point in Manchester City's defense.

But this time the goddess of luck did not come!
Tottenham Hotspur failed to change the score, they still held a 1-goal lead, but in the next time, there is a high probability that they will not be able to stand the current result.

76 minutes.

Li Feng turned back and followed up with David Silva's long-range shot, which still did not change the situation on the field.
But then we need to see who can stand in the end.

Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Hugo Lloris kicked the ball away.

The defensive Laporte finally stopped being "silent", and he used his header to defuse Tottenham's offense.

Heading back, Manchester City holds the ball in their hands. As long as they want, they can firmly control the ball in the next time.

But because they are backward, it is impossible for them to do such a thing, they want more!
Kevin De Bruyne received the pass again. At this time, he has noticed Li Feng's position. If nothing else, his pass can help Manchester City rewrite the score!
