Amid everyone's expectations, the game between Tottenham and Manchester City finally started.
"This game should be the most unique game. In this round, Manchester United fans will cheer for Manchester City, and Tottenham fans will cheer for Arsenal fans. In this round of games, can Tottenham be able to
Winning is the game that determines the direction of the entire league, and this is the last game we are waiting to see."
Tottenham and Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal - this strange matchup makes the two rivals hope that their city rivals can win. If Arsenal wins, Tottenham will not have to worry about being overturned in the last round -
- Manchester United's goal difference is very different, and their comeback is only theoretical. And if Tottenham
If they win, Arsenal will not have to worry about losing fourth place to Manchester City at the last moment. They are also blessing Tottenham. Manchester City and Manchester United are the same way. They are also looking forward to a miracle happening at the last moment of the league.
, it is also a very interesting spectacle that the four opponents at the top of the standings have such a situation.
"We can see that Tottenham's lineup is still not much different from the lineup in the previous games. Cavani and Raul are still starting at the front. In the midfield, Royce replaced Di Maria.
is their only change, and in the backcourt, they are a little bit
There are no changes, and it still remains the same as before. For a period of time, Tottenham's lineup has basically been like this. After Suarez encountered some problems, Raul has always been playing forward. His outstanding strength
, and it also satisfies people.”
Everyone already knows about Suarez's penalty. He was not found guilty of racial discrimination, but he was still suspended for four games. This penalty did not damage Suarez's personal image, but the suspension was still the same. This can be regarded as an explanation for both parties. Like this
This is not the first time that a penalty has been imposed. In 2007, Weidenfeller of the Bundesliga scolded Amosa'a, which meant he was banned.
Suarez's handling of a fine of 10,000 for three games is a rule this time. However, just like Li Bin remembered the situation after choking Van Persie, Abidal did not pursue the penalty at all, which also tells the story
People, although UEFA does have a fifty-fifty rule, they still have a certain degree of partiality in their attitude towards black players.
There are many black athletes all over the world who are unreasonable and disruptive. Li Bin remembers that in the NBA, when LeBron was criticized by the media for making that famous 'decision', there would always be black rights defenders.
To stand up and say that blaming him for this matter is discriminating against black people. Now that Abidal has really been scolded, it is no wonder that UEFA turned a blind eye and gave him a free hand.
There is a lot of controversy in the media about this. This penalty method is really unreasonable. Unfortunately, UEFA never considers whether others think it is reasonable or not. What they think is appropriate must be implemented.
.
Suarez's inability to play does not mean that Tottenham will not play football. Raul's outstanding performance now also guarantees Tottenham's victory.
"Manchester City also made adjustments this time and tried Joe Hart, Kolarov, Kolo Toure, Kompany, Barry and Flamini in the midfield, and Wright-Phillips on the left and right.
Thomas and Valbuena, while Adebayor and Tevez are on the forward line. Since the second half of the season, Manchester City has given up more and more expectations for Berbatov and Robinho.
, but what is gratifying is that giving up these two people is a great good thing for Manchester City's results."
In the second half of this season, due to the impact of the wave of injuries, Manchester City chose to start removing players from the main roster who did not play hard enough and were not serious enough. Mancini knew that in his team
Who is the lazy guy? He did a good job of cleaning up the lazy guys and made his team become much stronger.
It is precisely because his team has become much stronger that Mancini, who is watching his players from the sidelines, feels a little hopeful.
I usually can't beat Li Bin, but things should be unexpected, and the players on my side are also in good condition.
Mancini is looking forward to surprises, because surprises are very important to him. It is difficult to win the game between Arsenal and Chelsea. Even Drogba, who is usually in poor form, will inevitably score when he meets Arsenal.
Football, not to mention DeRoro, who is now having the best season of his career.
Arsenal will undoubtedly lose. As long as I can win this game, then Manchester City will really take the lead in the battle for the top four - I can't compare with that guy Li Bin.
He has been aiming for the championship for two years, but why not aim for the top four for two years?
Mancini has this idea because he has a keener vision than others. He can see that Tottenham have lost Suarez. Although they can rely on Raul to abuse them, their breakthrough ability in the middle has declined.
A lot. Raul is too old. He can connect the two wings, but if you want to rely on him to launch a surprise attack, he can't do it.
Tottenham's strength is still affected, and this is Manchester City's opportunity.
The course of the game was exactly as he expected. From the beginning, Tottenham chose a comprehensive attack. Manchester City was not a particularly strong opponent in their eyes, and Tottenham attacked mercilessly. Moreover, Tottenham also
Manchester City's Characteristics Developed
Special tactics - from the beginning of the game, Royce, who was on the right road, cut inside to the center to act as an attacking midfielder, while Piszczek, who was originally in the backcourt, inserted himself all the way up. Tottenham relied on the backcourt to switch to a three-man team.
The defender forcibly activated the attack in the frontcourt.
Mancini knew very well, and Li Bin also knew very well that although Raul played very well, he could no longer attack frequently in the middle because of his age. Therefore, he prepared Royce for Raul and let Ronaldo
Is relies on his impact to help Raul get the ball in the middle and organize. He wants to use the numerical advantage in the middle to launch an offensive and forcefully eat Manchester City.
But this is exactly what Mancini wants: an opponent eager to win, with a flawed offensive end. This is Tottenham's biggest flaw in Mancini's eyes.
Soon, after a breakthrough by Tottenham, Manchester City found an opportunity. In a pass, Barry got the ball, and he kicked the ball forward with a long pass!
"Before the season, people were saying that Barry's failure to choose Liverpool was the biggest reason for Liverpool's decline and even demise this season. However, if Barry failed to produce good results in the end, it would really be a waste of time.
.”
Seeing Barry's good kick, the commentator was also expressing emotion. Before the season, because of Barry and Gerrard's good relationship, Benitez wanted to sell Alonso to buy Barry, but in the end Barry went
Manchester City. In Manchester City, he became Motta's substitute, because Motta is a player who has won the Champions League and deserves more trust. He has not had a few opportunities in a season. Now, Motta is injured, so he can play.
Opportunity, and once it comes on the court, it is such an important game.
Barry knew that he was playing as a substitute for the injured Motta, and his task was to be the metronome in the middle. If he did not perform well enough, it would directly affect the situation of the battle. He also knew that there was a level difference between him and Alonso.
Many, the most outstanding thing about him is that his accuracy is high enough and he can pass and receive the ball in time. Compared with the top players, he is still far behind. However, he also believes in it very much.
, your own passing can help your team!
And his pass indeed gave Manchester City a good opportunity. This pass with good penetration was directly taken by Adebayor in the frontcourt. He immediately entered the penalty area.
Inside, he wanted to do something. Opposite him, Palmieri immediately came over. He took a step forward, directly forcing Adebayor to turn around and give the ball to Tevez.
Tevez got the ball and immediately shot. But Palmieri had already let go of Adebayor next to him. He made a sudden tackle and shoveled Tevez's shot away!
However, on the wing, Valbuena received the ball. He ignored Tevez waving to him, nor did he care about Adebayor running in the middle trying to cooperate. He knew the characteristics of their playing,
It is simply not enough to form a good cooperation. Instead of cooperating with them, it is better to try it yourself.
Just above the ribs of the penalty area, Valbuena immediately shot and pocketed the ball! This long-range lob did not allow Neuer to react in time, and the football went directly over his head.
It flew over and fell into the ball!
"gooooal!! Valbuena!! The knife scored a goal for Manchester City! A very beautiful goal, Manchester City took the lead in the game! Mancini proved once again that he chose to reuse Valbuena.
It is correct and has improved the team's performance a lot. Whether he can perform well will also determine the performance of Manchester City in a game."
The moment he saw the goal, Mancini also happily ran around on the sidelines. He knew that this goal meant that he had considerable initiative in this game.
Moreover, he was even more happy that this was a goal scored against Li Bin's team - in the past, when people talked about him, they would only say that he was Li Bin's stepping stone, but now, in key games, he
Gained a lead over Li Bin!
Watching Valbuena on the court, Mancini was also very emotional: before the season, he snatched Valbuena from Tottenham, but because he was too short, he was not willing to reuse him. Until halfway through the season
, he was only reused when the team suffered more serious injuries, and he immediately returned good results to Manchester City.
This is a truly outstanding leader, a player who can drive the attack. Even if he is not in his best shadow forward position, he can still achieve very good results. Look at his performance, and then look at your decision to buy it at a high price.
Mancini sometimes sighs about the players he plays: Is his vision so bad?
Moreover, what made him sigh even more was that after he poached Valbuena, Tottenham actually brought in Raul. These two players, one is of a higher level than the other. Against such a person, his team would really be in trouble.
That's bad luck.
However, if you are unlucky for a long time, there will always be exceptions. In this game, no matter how you look at it, you are more confident - and Mancini almost did not hesitate. After the team took the lead, he immediately
He ordered his players to start retreating and organized a line of defense in his backcourt for the final defense.
A few days ago, Tottenham could rely on defensive counterattacks to deal with Barcelona. So, why can't Manchester City do this to Tottenham? Now that they have the advantage, they can win the game by holding on in the backcourt! And!
, even if we lose the ball, what's the big deal? If it's a draw, each will get one point. Manchester City tied Arsenal and gained the advantage by relying on goal difference. Tottenham maintained a one-point lead until the end. Isn't that good?
What?
"Tottenham put Barcelona in a difficult situation in the past few days. Now it's their turn to face it. I just don't know if Tottenham has any solution in the face of this dilemma."
On the edge of the pitch, Li Bin was a little surprised to lose the ball. However, no matter how surprised he was, it didn't mean that he had nothing to do. He walked to the edge of the pitch and shouted loudly to the pitch, "Edinson! Play well!"
You know what you have to do!"
Okay, you are ahead, this is unexpected, but a miracle is coming, can you hold on?
