Manchester City beat Juventus, three highlights attracted attention, steadily hitting the championship

In a game in the third round of the Club World Cup group stage, Manchester City defeated Juventus 5:2 and successfully advanced to the top 16 with a three-game winning streak. It is worth noting that Manchester City's attack performance in this game was strong, and several new players performed well and quickly integrated into the team system, which doubled the confidence of coach Guardiola. Manchester City has now entered the first half of the Club World Cup, avoiding many strong opponents, and using its strength to attack the championship is undoubtedly more stable.

Before this, Manchester City and Juventus maintained two consecutive victories and both achieved overwhelming victory, with Juventus slightly ahead of the goal difference. In this case, Juventus only needs to draw to finish first in the group, while Manchester City must score all three points to surpass their opponents. Therefore, this matchup between the giants has attracted much attention, and FIFA President Infantino even visited the scene in person.

Surprisingly, the game quickly showed a clear one-sided situation. Juventus sent a large number of substitutes rather than main lineups. Although Manchester City did not have all the main players to play, the lineup after the rotation still showed its advantages and firmly controlled the rhythm of the game. Manchester City quickly scored the lead. Although Juventus caught the opponent's mistake and equalized the score, Manchester City took the lead again using the wing tactics. Juventus defender Kalulu accidentally made an own goal, allowing Blue Moon to lead again.

In the second half, Manchester City sent main players such as Haaland, and their advantages were more obvious. Haaland quickly made a contribution and expanded the score advantage to two goals. Juventus coach Tudor then strengthened his main force, but it was too late. Manchester City scored several goals in a row and ended with a 5:2 victory.

Summary of this game, Manchester City advanced with a complete victory and achieved three major gains.

First of all, he successfully advanced as the top spot in the group, which means that Manchester City has entered the middle of the area and faces relatively few strong teams. Among the giant teams from Europe, only Inter Milan and Chelsea are currently in the first half of the area, while Inter Milan has just changed coaches recently and is still in the adjustment period, and its strength is not enough to match Manchester City. As Manchester City's old opponent in the Premier League, Chelsea has a good understanding of each other, but their performance in this Club World Cup is average and Manchester City has certain advantages. Therefore, Manchester City is expected to advance to the final easily and its prospects for winning the championship are optimistic.

followed by new players' training opportunities. In this game, the newly-joined full-back Nuri performed well and successfully scored two goals, which was one of the best in the game. The new midfielder Reindes also scored the third goal for the team, and his integration speed was amazing. Although Cherki, who came on as a substitute, has not played much, given his outstanding performance in the first two games, Manchester City's new players have basically integrated into the tactical system, and Guardiola can arrange the layout with more confidence.

Finally, there is a chance for rookies to hone their training. Considering Juventus' strength, Guardiola did not use a new player on a large scale, and only made O'Reilly debut in the second half. The latter performed remarkable and left a deep impression. In the first two games, Guardiola has given rookies such as Bob, O'Reilly, and Lewis. They performed well and provided more options for Guardiola.

Overall, Manchester City's performance in this Club World Cup continued to stabilize, with a total of 9 goals in three matches in the group stage, and initially demonstrated its strength in winning the championship.
