In the first pre-season warm-up match for the Premier League champions Manchester City's "Tour of America", they took on local team "Some Ludy" in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The "Blue Moon" squad was thin as many of their key players, such as Kiwi Dibny, Roddy Cassidy, Phil Cotton, Stones, Kilgore Canada, Zulian Ivaris, etc., were absent due to European or American national team matches. Despite the hard work of Aynin Chalant and Kiari in the front line, the attacking power is obviously greatly weakened. In addition, the players' condition is worrying, it is very difficult to beat the opponent. City have scored only five goals in their last six warm-up matches, three of which were less than three, and it will be difficult to make a breakthrough in goal scoring this time around.
City manager Diego Corteona has placed some of his key players on vacation, including Chivun Dibny, Shelly Medjugorje, Benedict Schwarz, Ruben Dyas, Manuel Egangelo and Niton Aki, who are due to return on August 5th. Corteona also used Lodi Casciandi, Phil Cotton, Stones and Kiljuiga in the European final and Zulian Ivaris in the American final. As for the new Brazilian wing, Savio, the date of his return is not yet clear. For the "American Tour", Aynin Chalant, Kialisu, Oscar Poppi, Gregorio Reeves, and goalkeepers Adelson Moraes and Steffen Audiga will make up the first team of regulars.
As we all know, Aynin Xalant relies heavily on his teammates' support on the offensive end, and without the support of strong supporters such as Chiyun Dibny, it is still doubtful whether he can hold up the offensive flag on his own. In addition, Gordiona's trip is aimed at testing new tactics, and it is expected that there will be a lot of substitutions in the course of the game, so we can't judge the performance of the "Blue Moon" from a conventional perspective.
The opponents, "Ludi", have played three warm-up matches in a row before the match and won all of them. Theoretically, they are in great shape and are expected to challenge the strength of "Blue Moon". Plus, the team leader, Rogers, knows Manchester City well and believes that they have enough strength to resist the opponent's attack. Even if they suffer a defeat, it will only be a minor one.
