[엑스포츠뉴스 김정현 인턴기자] Coach Mourinho’s mercenary skills overwhelmed Guardiola’s Manchester City.
Tottenham Hotspur won 2-0 with a successive goal from Son Heung-min and Giovanni Law Selso in a match against Manchester City on the ninth day of the Meer League in the 2020/21 season played at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on 22 (hour Korean).
Tottenham went on to the 4-2-3-1 projection. In addition to goalkeeper Hugo Loris, Sergios Orie-Toby Alderweireld-Eric Dyer-Sergio Regilon, Pierre-Emil Huivier-Musa Sissoko, Stephen Berchwein-Tangwi Ndombele-Son Heung-min and Harry Kane were selected. .
Manchester City took the 4-3-3 squad. In addition to goalkeeper Ederson, the starters were Kyle Walker-Hubin Dias-Emeric Laporte-Juan Cancelu, Rodri-Kevin Debrainer-Bernardo Silva, Ferran Torres-Gabriel Jejus-Ferran Torres.
Tottenham completely eliminated space, Son Heung-min on the counterattack
From the beginning of the first half, Man City took over and put heavy pressure on Tottenham. In particular, Ferran Torres, located on the left, was quite aggressive and registered the first shot in one minute.
Tottenham ran the game against Man City’s high market share and lowered the defensive line to counterattack. And this immediately led to Son Heung-min’s first goal.
Tottenham, who got a free kick in 4 minutes, connected shortly with Ndombele, and Ndombele saw the space behind the Man City center-back and connected a roving pass to Son Heungmin.
After Son Heung-min got this, he was dribbled in a one-on-one situation with Ederson and took a 1-0 lead by shooting through Ederson’s crotch.
Man City felt embarrassed but continued to outperform Tottenham’s crouched defense, increasing their participation without being shaken.
In the 8th minute, Jejus pushed his way down the left wing and even tried to shoot, but Alderweireld was blocked. Kevin Debrainer’s subsequent shot hit Jejus and he was called offside, which he regretted.
In the 12th minute, Tottenham released the pressure from Man City and launched a counterattack. The Berchwein-Son Heung-min-Kane triangle pass was connected and Kane scored, but was declared offside.
Man City also created a scoring situation. Rodri’s center went up the right after a corner kick in the 26th minute, and Jejus received it and connected to Laport. Laporte, who was coming from a corner kick situation, scored with his left foot.
However, a VAR review was conducted on the field and referee Mike Dean confirmed whether Jejus was handball. It was recognized that Jejus reached out and received the ball, a hand foul was declared and the score was 1-0.
In the 40th minute, Kanselu connected Ferran to half space, but he fell and Marez tried to break the ball again. Even this was caught by Ferran who fell, but Jejus shot this ball but missed.
Tottenham managed to cover all the defensive spaces of his teammates and defend in a one-on-one situation, as if he had prepared all the attack patterns of Man City.
Just a replacement, widening the difference
In the second half, the game was the same. Man City took possession of the ball for a long time and attacked the Tottenham defense, and Tottenham responded with a solid defense.
Tottenham, from a high position, advanced, aiming to stop Man City’s advance, and did so in 49 minutes. However, the center that Ndombele raised from the left flank to the front was blocked, and he was unable to drive to the goal.
In the 54th minute, Regilon managed to stop Walker’s advance, and in the situation that followed, the center continued after Debrainer’s advance, but Hoivier blocked the flow well.
Rather, Tottenham once again had a chance to score and saved it. In the 64th minute, Ndombele was retired and Rosso entered. In the immediate counterattack situation, Kane loaded the ball and connected with Rosselso, who broke down the left wing. Rosso broke through and stabbed him through the opposite corner, leading 2-0.
Man City was in a hurry and kept aiming at Tottenham’s space, but Tottenham’s defense responded appropriately and stopped them all.
Tottenham spent a lot of time on the offensive side counterattacking after breaking the ball. From minute 85, there was a play to defend the ball near the corner flag.
Man City missed the decisive scoring goal as Dias fired a header from the free kick opportunity in the 89th minute, but was blocked by Lawless’s save.
After a corner kick in the 90th minute, Kanselu’s shot missed down the left and Man City lost to Tottenham’s space.
