11:00pm, 23 August 2025Football
The Blue Moon Army, which performed poorly last season, was empty, upgraded its lineup in the offseason. Guardiola definitely wants to take the lead in the former King's Army to return to the peak in the new season. Manchester City in the first round of the Premier League allowed fans to see the dawn of revival, defeating Wolves 4 goals away, giving a good start to the new season. This weekend, Manchester City ushered in the second round of the Premier League, against Tottenham, one of the traditional six giants.
The performance of Manchester City's defense line in this game can only be described as disaster. Tottenham also seized the opportunity and relied on the goals of Johnson and Paligna to score 2-0 three-pointers away. While he achieved two consecutive victories, he gave the Blue Moon team its first defeat in the season!
[Match Highlights]
Although Tottenham performed poorly in the league last season, they gave the Blue Moon a heavy blow at the Etihad Stadium and won a 4-0 victory away. Guardiola, who was eager to avenge his previous shame in this game, also used the team's most familiar 4141 system. Trafford served as the starting goalkeeper, Aitnuri, Rubendias, Stones and Lewis built the defense, Gonzalez served as a single midfielder, Marmush, Reindez, Sherki and Bob lined up in the midfield, and Haaland was the single arrow.
Tottenham, who changed coaches in the offseason, performed well in the first game of the Premier League in the new season, and scored Burnley 3-0. In order to continue his strong performance, the new coach Frank did not reserve at all in this game. In the 433 formation, Vicario was allowed to guard the roster goal, Polo, Romero, Van dervin and Spencer formed the four-guard defensive system, Papesal, Palinia and Bentancur were in the midfield, and Kudus, Richarlison and Johnson partnered to attack the trident.
[Match Review]
After Frank took office, Tottenham changed his previous radical style. He used defensive counterattacks and high-level pressure to deal with Manchester City away. Although he was at a disadvantage in the ball control rate, he completed the frontcourt steals from the beginning and put pressure on Manchester City's defense line. Although he was a little passive in the field, the Blue Moon Army was the first to create murderous intent in the 28th minute. Haaland dribbled the ball in the frontcourt and sent a straight pass. Unfortunately, Marmush's single-handed opportunity was not grasped and was saved by Vicario.
, Manchester City, who escaped, used the counterattack opportunity to break the balance on the court in the 35th minute. Richarlison made a cross from the bottom from the right, and Johnson scored in front of the goal, helping Tottenham to gain a 1-0 lead. Before the end of the half, Manchester City goalkeeper Trafford made a fatal mistake and was directly intercepted by Tottenham before opening the goal. Paligna accepted a big gift and helped Tottenham lead back to the locker room with 2 goals.
The change of sides and then changed sides, Tottenham's defense line also made huge mistakes. Unfortunately, Haaland's quality of hitting the ball in front of the goal after stealing was not high, which made Manchester City miss the excellent opportunity to narrow the gap. Guardiola, who was extremely dissatisfied with the team's performance, then waved his big hand and replaced the poorly performed Marmush and Sherki with B seats and Doku.
Manchester City, which was unwilling to lose at home, pushed the opponent forward in the following time, but Tottenham, who had the lead, played very smartly, just based on defense and did not give the Blue Moon League room to attack, which also allowed them to block Manchester City away as they wished and took away a victory.
Although Tottenham has not had the record of being as good as Manchester City in recent seasons, they are the nemesis of the Blue Moon Army. They have challenged Manchester City away from home in the last five Premier League games, and have all scored first, which is enough to prove this. After giving Manchester City the first defeat in the new season in this game, Tottenham once again turned Etihad into its own joyous field, which also made Guardiola lose.
