"This is actually not the first confrontation between Guardiola and Pochettino. The two have faced each other in La Liga in the early years."
"In February 2009, the Spaniard coached by Pochettino defeated Barcelona at the time, causing Barcelona to suffer its first Catalan derby defeat in 27 years."
"The two met again this time. Guardiola spoke highly of Pochettino before the game!"
"Before the game, Guardiola said that he had played against Pochettino in both his playing and coaching careers. He felt that Pochettino was one of the best coaches in the world. He liked to watch Tottenham's games and appreciate Tottenham's playing style.
Full of aggression."
"Indeed!" Zhang Lu nodded in agreement, "Tottenham has continued its excellent form from last season this season."
"Tottenham's style of play, everyone who likes football will like this Tottenham team."
"Tottenham under Pochettino does not like to passively counterattack, but likes to take the initiative."
"The game strategy of many teams is to see how their opponents play, and then formulate their own tactical strategies. But Tottenham is not like this. They hope and stick to their own football."
At 21:15 pm BJ time, with the whistle of the referee Marina, this battle for the top spot in the powerful dialogue officially started.
On the field, Tottenham attacked from right to left. Son Heung-min kicked the ball out. Eriksen took the ball and turned to the right and distributed it to his right rib.
Alderweireld took the ball and saw Aguero rushing towards him. Chu Zheng was running along the center line in an attempt to cut off his path forward. He immediately passed to Walker.
Walker turned his back to the sideline, stopped the ball with his right foot, and glanced at Sterling, who was rushing horizontally in front of him.
When Sissoko quickly got into position on the right to establish a ball release point, Walker raised his foot and passed without saying a word.
Behind Sissoko, Kolarov immediately stepped up to prevent Sissoko from turning around. Sterling also turned around and rushed back, trying to flank Sissoko with Kolarov.
But Sissoko was really strong. He faced the sideline and held Kolarov behind him.
Walker was not slow on his side either, and quickly started to move forward along the side road to contain the situation.
When Sterling saw Walker running past him, he quickly gave up the idea of flanking and followed up the unmarked Walker.
At this time Chu Zheng also came back and quickly moved towards Sissoko.
From the corner of his eye, Sissoko saw Chu Zheng approaching and pinching Kolarov, and his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys all trembled.
Sissoko, who was at Newcastle United last season, experienced Chu Zheng's physical confrontation ability. At that time, Newcastle played against Leicester City twice and he was beaten to death by Chu Zheng.
So Sissoko tapped his right foot and the ball rolled forward along the sideline.
Seeing the ball coming, Walker made a decision after a little hesitation.
Kyle Walker knows Sterling very well. This guy is not slower than him, so if he hits the ball and rushes to the baseline, it is probably difficult to get rid of Sterling.
So he rubbed the ball back with the instep of his right foot, ran back one meter, turned around quickly, and pushed the ball laterally with his left foot to Eriksson, who was approaching from the ribs.
As soon as Eriksen stopped the ball, he saw Fernando rushing towards him. He pushed with his right foot and the ball rolled towards Son Heung-min in the ribs, and then he continued to advance.
Son Heung-min stood there and played a one-on-one with Eriksen, allowing Stones who pushed out from behind him to miss.
The ball did not stay at Eriksson's feet and was quickly transferred to Walker's feet on the sideline.
Fernando followed the ball and moved to the wing to defend Walker.
In order to prevent Walker from passing the ball, Fernando moved to the left. As a result, Walker did not stop the ball at all, but quickly hit the ball across the ball.
Son Heung-min picked up the ball at the top of the key and on the right side of the penalty area.
At this time, behind him is Fernandinho, in front of him is Kolarov, and on the right is Chu Zheng, who is quickly approaching.
Son Heung-min did not choose to pass the ball.
Facing Kolarov who was approaching from the sideline of the penalty area, Son Heung-min pushed forward lightly with the instep of his right outside foot, and the ball rolled under Kolarov's crotch.
The next second, Son Heung-min, who passed by Kolarov, followed up and hit with his foot.
"fool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Seeing Son Heung-min's powerful shot flying into the stands along the near corner of the goal, the new White Hart Lane stadium suddenly erupted in exclamations, followed by violent cheers!
The atmosphere at today's venue and the noise of the fans were extremely loud, not inferior to those famous derbies at all.
On the sidelines, Guardiola saw a look of extreme dissatisfaction on his face when he saw the team's defense this time.
When Tottenham's wing attack developed to the rib area on the right side of the arc, they assembled a total of 6 players, but they could not defeat Tottenham's 3 players.
Kolarov actually let Son Heung-min pierce his crotch, creating a chance to hit the goal.
"Oh! Son Heung-min, if you dare to think and do it, cross your crotch and hit the door from a small angle, but it's a pity that you didn't hold it down!"
"In the match against Middlesbrough, Son Heung-min completed 16 dribbles in a single game. He is also the player with the most dribbles per game in the Premier League!"
"Tottenham, playing at home, entered the state very quickly and completed a threatening goal in the first 45 seconds!"
In front of the Manchester City goal, Bravo drove the ball directly into the frontcourt.
But Aguero was no match for Tottenham's Xuan Ming in the aerial battle, and the ball was directly headed back to the midfield by Alderweireld.
Chu Zheng wanted to stop the ball on the right center circle.
But when he reached the landing point, Fernando rushed in front of him, got ahead of him and knocked the ball forward.
Suddenly Chu Zheng was speechless.
On the right rib of the center circle, Eriksen quickly took a step back, perfectly removed the ball, and then quickly transferred it laterally.
Danny Rose gets the ball from the left rib of the center circle.
Dribbling the ball across the center line, I saw that Manchester City's defense line of Otamendi, Stones and Kolarov were not on the same line. Stones in the middle had a gap in front of him, and Son Heung-min in the middle was running into the gap.
He immediately had an idea.
Three or four meters forward, the moment Son Heung-min reached the front edge of the arc, he directly kicked the ball through.
In the left area at the top of the arc, Son Heung-min was in place, but Danny Rose's ball was a bit strong.
Son Heung-min, who was sprinting, raised his left foot to stop the ball, but his toe just touched it and the ball went straight to Bravo's goal.
In front of the goal, Bravo was frightened by Danny Rose's through ball.
Fortunately, after Son Heung-min rubbed it, the speed of the ball slowed down. He quickly knelt down, hugged the ball with both hands, and held the ball firmly in his arms.
"Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Suddenly the new White Hart Lane stadium was in an uproar again.
"Son Heung-min!!!"
"I didn't stop, Tottenham almost made a single goal!!!" Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu exclaimed at the same time in the LeTV live broadcast room!
"This ball, Lamela on the left ran too smart. He kept pushing forward, causing Otamendi to get stuck in front of him and drag him behind, which directly caused a man to appear behind Stones.
Very little space to attack."
"With this ball, we can see Son Heung-min's sense of smell on the offensive end. He is extremely sensitive and runs away with a very clear purpose!"
Soon, Bravo took a goal kick again, directly into the frontcourt.
After two aerial duels between the two sides, the ball returned to Tottenham's hands without any surprise.
On the right side of Tottenham, Eriksen picked up the ball near the center line. He saw that Sissoko had started to move forward at a high speed, but Kolarov saw that he was cutting off the passing line from the outside. Without saying a word, he kicked the ball in the ribs.
The ministry vigorously passed on the message directly.
Son Heung-min suddenly ran back to the right, stretched out his left foot and touched the ball with his toes, and the ball turned in front of Sissoko on the wing.
This circuitous wing attack strategy was very entertaining and instantly penetrated Manchester City's defensive line.
But Manchester City's defense is still in tatters, but it's not just bad.
This time Stones chose his position very accurately. Taking advantage of being closer to the ball, he quickly got Sissoko behind Kolarov on the wing and got behind him. After getting the ball, he retreated directly to the corner flagpole.
Seeing Kolarovne receiving the ball from the sideline of the penalty area, he quickly passed the ball and avoided Sissoko's attack.
However, as soon as Kolarov turned around, he saw Son Heung-min rushing towards him, so he was forced to kick the ball directly out of the sideline.
Seeing their team defeating the mighty Manchester City in this embarrassing state, Tottenham fans in the stands were extremely excited. After cheering collectively, they began to boo the Manchester City players in an attempt to create psychological pressure on all Manchester City players.
Chu Zheng also realized that the situation was not good.
Tottenham's entire team was running wild from the first second of the game, pressing them crazily in any area and not even giving them time to stop the ball.
Chu Zheng knows Tottenham very well.
Tottenham's current players are not only able to run for a period of time, but also have the style of being as fierce as a tiger in the beginning and wilting like an old dog in the second half.
This group of lunatics can maintain this high-pressure situation until the last second of the game.
This is the horror of Pochettino's side.
Even the current Manchester City cannot achieve this kind of crazy physical reserves. This is a group of young lunatics led by a big lunatic taught by an old lunatic.
"At the beginning, Tottenham relied on their home advantage and through this high-pressure defense in the frontcourt, Manchester City seemed a little busy and passive."
"Pochettino's thinking today is very clear, he will focus on Kolarov's side!"
