For a long time we got used to the situation of the teams of José Mourinho and Josep Guardiola during their hand-to-hand matches, but in the context of the ninth day of the English Premier League, the Spanish team of the Spanish mentor was clearly inferior to the pupils Portuguese in terms of number of points scored and, therefore, position in the standings. Manchester City and Tottenham were divided by an impressive five-point gap for the start of the season, which in the qualifying format table was expressed in the form of eight lines. For this reason, the confrontation in the Tottenham Hotspur stadium began to be played in completely different colors.
Among other things, the teams were overwhelmed by the return to club football following the November clashes between the national teams, as well as the need to participate in the European Cup battles in the near future. At the same time, the parties should not forget about the impending crazy Christmas, which will have to be tackled with as many points as possible to avoid serious problems under the pressure of a large number of fights.
Al City, perhaps, would like to start the informational game with their usual ball control, but only conceded in the fifth minute. A quick free kick into midfield from Ndombele was marked by a shot on Sonu’s play, after which the ball went straight between the legs of goalkeeper Ederson. If Guardiola had tactical lineups for this game, then they could be safely ruled out. Mourinho dealt a forceful blow in secret.
The Manchester team had a lot of control over the ball after conceding a goal quickly. Sometimes even alarmingly many. And yet the “people of the town” managed to win back the annoying goal in the middle of the first half, but the exact blow from Laporte after a discount from Jesús was canceled by a Brazilian handball in the preparatory phase. The problem is, it was about the only real chance that the “moon cats” would put on their glasses that night.
The second half, as well as the first, was carried out under the control of the guests, however, if the attacks from their side did not break against the middle block of opponents, they definitely faded as a result of the simplicity of the ideas. directly from other people’s possessions. City hit a lot, but most attempts went to the opponent’s legs / body.
So here, and in the 65th minute, the guests got the second ball, after which the match could end earlier than planned. The loss of the ball to Marez’s side in the opponent’s half ended with a counterattack led by Kane, at the end of which Harry landed an outside penalty 35 seconds before substitute Lo Celso, and Giovanni sewed the space between the legs again. by Ederson. The City finished off in this episode, although the signs of life stopped showing in the first half.
In the next round, Tottenham will look forward to an equally intense London derby against Chelsea, while Manchester City will face Burnley at home.
