Live football Tottenham vs Man City Premier League 2020

(Press F5 for the latest information)

Never since he arrived in England has Pep Guardiola lost his way like now. The new 2-year contract you just signed does not accurately reflect the current situation at Etihad. It seems that team boss Sheikh Mansour is sticking with Pep mostly since there are few elite leaders on the “unemployment” scene.

Furthermore, Man City seems to fear that if Pep is suddenly removed at the end of this season, an earthquake will cause serious damage to the team’s fate because the Spanish strategist has left its mark on everyone. The corner at Etihad, creating a huge influence none other than Sir Alex Ferguson at MU or Arsene Wenger at Arsenal in the past, but after these two great coaches retired, how MU and Arsenal fell Needless to repeat.

This stat will indicate the decline of Man City. After seven rounds of playing in the 2020/21 Premier League, Man City have only scored 10 goals, the worst performance by a team that Pep Guardiola had in a similar period in the league since 2010/11. In the same period last year, Man City hit the opponent’s net 27 times and it was the 2019/20 season that Man City began to show signs of falling.

On the other side of the front row, in his training career, Mourinho may not be afraid of anyone like Pep when he lost 10 times to his colleague. At one point, Pep really became a constant obsession with the famous Portuguese military leader.

But right now Mourinho is “flying” with Totteham and recreating step by step the golden age of his career (with Chelsea conquering England or leading Inter Milan to the great “treble”). The Tottenham 2020/21 version is the best defense and attack team in the Premier League.

Before Man City’s next screen in round 9, Tottenham experienced the longest undefeated streak in history: 7 consecutive games without losing and winning 17/21 points. Furthermore, the last 14 matches in all competitions, Tottenham only stumbled once (in Belgium against Royal Antwerp in the Europa League). In which, the last 3/4 of Tottenham’s victories ended with the scenario in which they scored the last minute and won the smallest difference. Such victories are subtle in the philosophy and spirit of football that Mourinho has pursued since the beginning of his career as a manager.

Compared to his last game two weeks ago (against West Brom), manager Mourinho made two adjustments to the starting list when Bergwijn replaced the more famous Gareth Bale in attack and Aurier returned to the right-back position for Matt Doherty. He is infected with Covid-19 and cannot play.

As for Man City, coach Guardiola changed only one position from Liverpool’s draw two weeks ago. That’s the fact that Mahrez is in Sterling’s place without fully recovering from the injury (so he’s just sitting on the bench). In addition, Sergio Agüero is also ready to enter the field from the coaches’ bench when necessary.

Perhaps it has been a long time since Tottenham scored higher than Man City in an official game and the Spurs soon proved that claim is not wrong. After 5 minutes, Ndombele sent a technical pass to Son Heung Min to break the Vietnamese trap to receive the ball and coldly hit goalkeeper Ederson in the face.

It should be remembered that it was the Korean star’s sixth goal against Man City in his career. In the 9th minute a chaotic situation broke out in Tottenham’s restricted area and if Alderweireld did not block properly, Gabriel Jesus would almost certainly bring the Green Man equalizer because the distance was too close. De Bruyne has a backlash and the ball hits … Jesus.

In the 13th minute, “the golden couple in town coordinated” Son Heung Min vs Harry Kane together tore Man City apart, but the referee did not admit it because of Kane’s offside. A few minutes later, midfielder Rodri headed fiercely after a cross from De Bruyne, but nothing difficult for Lloris.

In the 27th minute, after a while of trying, City finally broke the home team’s net. Rodri crossed the ball into the center of the 16m50 area and Laporte controlled the ball carefully before finishing off Lloris. However, referee Mike Dean, after consulting with the VAR team and directly reviewing the situation through the off-field screen, made the decision not to recognize the goal due to an error when touching Laporte’s hand.

With heads-up dominance, Tottenham has reason to slow down and switch to a typical defense: the fast break. Therefore, despite having the dominant ball (always above 60%), most of the waves of intimidation broke early. There are some small situations where the ball penetrates longer, the home team defense plays very hard to protect Lloris’ goal.

Going into the second half, Man City still cannot solve the scoring problem, although it is very difficult to finish. In the 51st minute, after Aurier’s failed pass, De Bruyne fired a long shot, but the ball missed. Meanwhile, in the “lurking for prey” position, the Spurs always proved extremely dangerous.

And then, in the 66th minute, José Mourinho’s army raised the score to 2-0. Following Mahrez’s handling of errors, Tottenham launched a lightning attack. Finally, Harry Kane showed a favorable gap for Lo Celso to enter the field and the Argentine midfielder controlled perfectly before finishing off Ederson’s left foot “threaded”.

So after 9 rounds in the 2020/21 Premier League, Harry Kane had … 9 assists – the achievement couldn’t be more impressive. In addition, Kane also contributed 7 goals.
