This game is exactly what it was last season
Manchester City football club
Tottenham Hotspur (city in Morocco)
The continuation of a three-game winning streak
Although both sides have bought new players this season, the content and flow of this game is similar to last year's second half of the season

The trifecta is really the same.

Having the absolute upper hand on the technical side.

The last step was a big one, and the last step was a big one, and the last step was a big one, until

The two teams could only settle for a draw as they could not sustain the technical soccer after the physical decline.
this match

Still 433.
Tottenham Hotspur (city in Morocco)
set up a 4231, but the biggest point of difference in the
Tottenham Hotspur (city in Morocco)
The ace of the team, Son Heung-min, is not yet able to play, but without the King's
Tottenham Hotspur (city in Morocco)
In the end, the fighting power of the team dropped by a notch. Especially Sun's endless physical strength and explosiveness, the ability to return to the back line in defense and rush to the opponent's penalty area in a split second in attack, this ability can make the
Tottenham Hotspur (city in Morocco)
Not to be outdone in the scrimmage.
It's true that the game was from the very beginning
Manchester City football club
of suppression.
Tottenham Hotspur (city in Morocco)
Made the big mistake of leaving Sissoko out of his original position at the back, last season when the
Tottenham Hotspur (city in Morocco)
If playing in 4231, then Sissoko is best placed in a double back position. Or in 433 Sissoko will be in the right midfield, but in reality he is constantly running back to the sweeper, using this movement to block the opponent's passes from the left that are trying to slant into the central area.
And even with Sissoko in the double back position, his positional sense and protection was
Tottenham Hotspur (city in Morocco)
The best back, but this game
Tottenham Hotspur (city in Morocco)
Putting him on the right front of the 4231, trying to get him to join the attack, I think it was due to the absence of Son Heung-min. But the effect of this setup failed and the result
Manchester City football club
A big press leaves Sissoko isolated up front, and because of his forward stance, the distance on his run back increases, making him much less effective against the defense.
(indicates contrast)

Also for
Tottenham Hotspur (city in Morocco)
's weak attack, De Bruyne played with ease on the right in the first half, and his partnership with B. Silva dramatically killed off the
Tottenham Hotspur (city in Morocco)
of the left side. Because
Tottenham Hotspur (city in Morocco)
Left guard Rose is actually a conservative guard now, and he was already getting older, plus as soon as he saw the
Manchester City football club
The left side of the offense is sharp, and Rose's handle from last season has been to go straight inside to the box line because he'd be afraid of being blitzed easily by the other team.
There's nothing wrong with Rose doing that, because
Tottenham Hotspur (city in Morocco)
Winks and Ndombele don't really get along well at the back in this game, and Ndombele just joined.
Tottenham Hotspur (city in Morocco)
It's not possible to suddenly be on the right
Manchester City football club
In the game, they were also standing in front of the guards to form a tight position as much as possible, and because of this Ndombele was less likely to move significantly left to support Rose, as Ndombele was also afraid of
Manchester City football club
Plugged right in through the belly of the earth after he left. The simple fact is that their understanding hasn't taken shape yet, and Eriksen isn't in particularly good shape.
And it's come down to that first half.
Manchester City football club
As if he knew it was going to happen, B.Silva kept on pulling Rose on the side, and Rose dared not rush up to grab the ball or put him down. As soon as B.Silva gave the ball back to De Bryne, there was enough space in front of him so that he was free to pass the ball to the center. At that time, Eriksen just came back to help Rose in defense, and De Bruyne stopped immediately when he saw that Eriksen passed by, and B.Silva saw that he had already put the ball into the center of the field.
Tottenham Hotspur (city in Morocco)
Rose and Eriksen both drew over before releasing the ball back to De Bruyne.
That was the case at 19:00 in the first half, when De Bruyne crossed the ball easily and at a very high speed and precise angle over the box and straight to the far post. Sterling, as if he knew what was coming, jogged into the box, hid behind his teammates, accelerated, and ran straight to the far post where he easily slotted the ball into the back of the net.
Tottenham Hotspur (city in Morocco)
's right guard Walker-Peters was too young to react to the play, allowing Sterling to score untouched.
As it turned out, at the 22nd hour.
Tottenham Hotspur (city in Morocco)
Relying on Lamela's dribbling, a sudden shot from the top of the box, the ball looped around Larporte who got in Ederson's line of sight, and Ederson seemed to slow down a bit as well, making it an easy breakaway.
It was only 22 minutes before the teams were tied at 1-1, but overall the situation was still dominated by the
Manchester City football club
Dominated, every time they attacked
Manchester City football club
It almost always results in a shot or a breakaway that
Tottenham Hotspur (city in Morocco)
Overall the defensive lineup is problematic, with Vertonghen not playing, the center back pairing of Alderwiereld and Sanchez is still purely blocking, while the two wingbacks, one of whom has lost his ability and the other is too young and inexperienced, and the back pairing is just too afraid to go forward, simply put.
Tottenham Hotspur (city in Morocco)
The defense in this game is only retreating, but cannot use the forward to cover the opponent's passing route. In fact, the effect of the defense players to move forward can greatly affect the opponent's passing angle, invariably let the opponent can not pass through, it seems that the formation is more open, but the attacker will make the pass very awkward and lead to the failure of the attack. This requires a high degree of judgment and boldness, of course, also need the tacit understanding of the defenders, in the advance or to protect each other at any time to shrink back.
Tottenham Hotspur (city in Morocco)
The defense has not been able to do that yet in the opening season.
