The game was a big success.

Guardiola made adjustments to the lineup, replacing Navas with De Bruyne.

De Bruyne took Guardiola's tactics and exchanged a few words with Zhao Yi.

Guardiola arranged De Bruyne in the middle and let Zhao Yi go to the left.

Obviously, Guardiola hopes that Zhao Yi will play to his speed advantage shown in the first half.

Let him become the team's blasting point on the left.

Let De Bruyne and Gundogan organize the attack.

De Bruyne actually struggled playing on the wing this season.

But because there are Zhao Yi and Silva in the middle, De Bruyne has no position in the middle.

Now, Guardiola saw Zhao Yi's speed advantage and wanted to change the formation to test the effect.

Right-footed players like Zhao Yi usually play on the right side, because they can use their bodies to protect the ball more easily.

It is also easier to break through and shoot directly.

Of course, there are also disadvantages, that is, when they cannot get rid of the defender, they can only rush all the way to the bottom line, and it is difficult to have other breakthrough routes.

And right-footed players playing on the left side are easy to be intercepted when getting rid of, and it is very awkward for the ball holder.

Of course, there are also very obvious advantages, such as it is more convenient to cut inside and it is easier to shoot in the middle.

On the left side, Zhao Yi's horizontal range of movement becomes smaller, but the vertical range is larger.

This time he can run to Manchester City's own hinterland to receive the ball.

After receiving the ball, facing Lamela, he did not choose to use speed to get rid of it, because using speed is a very energy-consuming method.

He turned around and knocked the ball directly, letting Fernandinho push the ball to him again.

Zhao Yi started instantly this time, and Lamela could no longer keep up.

Dale quickly filled in the position, intercepted Zhao Yi, and formed a double team directly.

This is the situation that the wing players will encounter. Zhao Yi can only pass the ball to De Bruyne in the middle.

Then continue to run forward.

When the ball appeared at Zhao Yi's feet again, Zhao Yi naturally faced one of the fastest full-backs in the Premier League, Kyle Walker.

Even though Zhao Yi's absolute speed is faster than Walker now, he can't easily use speed to get rid of it in such a small space.

It is very difficult to use speed to force a body position in positional warfare.

Zhao Yi started and ran towards the bottom line, but unfortunately he was closely followed by Kyle Walker.

His left foot cross was not accurate enough, so he could only turn quickly and try to break through from the other side with the ball.

Unfortunately, Dale's defense was already in place at this time.

Zhao Yi stepped on the ball and faced the defense of two people directly.

Fernandinho, who was not far away, was approaching and waiting to meet Zhao Yi at any time.

According to Guardiola's deployment, Zhao Yi should pass the ball to Fernandinho at this time, or he could directly find De Bruyne in the middle.

Each contact point has different tactical arrangements.

However, Zhao Yi chose another way.

He observed the positions of the two people, suddenly started, and flicked the outside of his foot, looking like he was going to pass the ball to Fernandinho, so that Dale's center of gravity moved slightly.

At this moment, there was enough defensive gap between Kyle Walker and Dale.

Zhao Yi passed the ball with one foot.

Not Fernandinho, nor De Bruyne.

But between Dale's legs.

Dale reacted, turned quickly, and then leaned to the left, ready to block Zhao Yi.

If he hit Zhao Yi head-on, it would be obvious that he blocked Zhao Yi's route, and it would be easy to be called for a foul.

But if he faced the ball while preventing Zhao Yi from getting the ball, there would be absolutely no problem.

The two men simultaneously discovered Zhao Yi's intention and wanted to form a closed-door defense, but because of Dale's change in center of gravity, they were half a beat slower.

The gap in the defense was not big, but Zhao Yi squeezed in.

Dale was hit, and it felt like a concrete wall was moving over. He staggered and rushed towards the football desperately.

But he couldn't hit Zhao Yi, and he couldn't keep up with the speed.

Zhao Yi's very coherent movements caused him to hook the ball back with one foot and directly break into the penalty area.

It was too late when Kyle Walker turned around to chase.

Alderweireld, who was defending, was too stupid. Zhao Yi in the penalty area flicked the ball with his right foot, and the football went directly to the front of the penalty area.

Then, Zhao Yi made a big change of direction and rushed to the front of the penalty area with the football.

Ali and De Bruyne in front of the penalty area started to rush towards the football almost at the same time.

Before the two arrived at the location, the football had been pulled back by Zhao Yi

.

Standing in the penalty area, Aguero took a look at Zhao Yi and knew that there was something wrong with his position.

He shrank his neck and jumped up.

It was too late to move. At this time, he could only reduce his size as much as possible to give Zhao Yi enough space to shoot.

Just when he reduced his limbs to the extreme, he clearly felt the whistling sound of the wind behind him.

The football almost flew past Aguero's back.

Aguero could judge Zhao Yi's shooting route, and Lori, as the national goalkeeper, could certainly judge it.

Alderweireld blocked the near corner, and this ball would most likely be shot to the far corner.

So when Zhao Yi poked and pulled, continuously shook off Alderweireld, and played with Ali and De Bruyne, he had already begun to consciously move towards the far corner.

When this kick was taken out, Lori flew up at the same time.

But the ball was too fast.

Zhao Yi's shooting power was too strong.

Lori could only rely on instinct to save.

Lori's entire body has expanded to the maximum defensive area.

It was not a half-high ball, but a sky rocket with a very large angle.

The football hit the upper left corner of the goal.

The cameras on the net shook, as if there was an earthquake.

Lori could only punch the grass in anger.

Manchester City 3:2!

This game, leading Tottenham for the first time!

Guardiola clapped his hands vigorously.

The change of formation was effective.

This young man can not only play in the middle, but also as a blaster, giving the opponent the most fatal blow on the wing!

Dale spit on the ground.

Shake his head vigorously.

Can't run away, can't bump into.

Kyle Walker put his hands on his waist, looking unfriendly.

He was defending well by himself, Dale came to make up for the defense, let him relax his vigilance, and Zhao Yi passed directly through the gap between the two.

A through-the-crotch pass... Such an obvious breakthrough method, but he was able to succeed.

What kind of defender is this?

"Dale's defense... There is no particularly good way. Zhao's fake move made Dell mistakenly think that he was going to pass the ball. Of course, Zhao did pass the ball to himself two seconds later.

This breakthrough was already very exciting. Look at how he got rid of it afterwards. Alderweireld was like a pillar in front of him...

He didn't move at all!

Ali and De Bruyne... Zhao treated De Bruyne as a Tottenham player and dealt with them together!"
