The two Premier League giants have taken turns to lift the league crown over the past five years, and fans are anticipating whether the strikers the teams brought in at high summer prices will be able to show their strength in this summit clash. Nunez scored a brilliant goal for

Laughing all the way to the bank.
# Harland, are you ready? #
Harland (name)
Easily overpowered Robertson in the confrontation.
Despite starting this game for Firmino, Nunez didn't come on as a substitute until the 59th minute. However, he first created a handball by Diaz, indirectly assisted Salah to score, and then sealed the win with a header in the 93rd minute. In contrast, Harland, who started the match, played the whole match but did not perform as well as Nunez, who only played for more than half an hour, and seemed to be suppressed in a single match.
However, form is only temporary, while strength is permanent. Núñez, who had been sneered at by some of the fans when he failed to score in the warm-up matches, has been hailed as the "new generation of Uruguayan striker" after he shone in the Community Shield. Harland, with his current level and ability, even if only instinctively play football, in the Premier League can also be easy. However, as a manager, Guardiola sees things from a very different perspective and mindset than the fans. If the problem that City has to solve is just "let Harland score", then Guardiola does not need to worry about it, City will play normally, and the goals will come naturally. But if the problem is "let Manchester City in the front line after large-scale adjustments to continue to maintain the competitiveness of the Premier League championship level", "so that Harland fully integrated into the melon's soccer" and even "win the Champions League", then the Community Shield showed that the city's goal is to "let Harland score goals". The offense in the Community Shield was not enough.
Harland missed a good chance on 33 minutes.
Harland (name)
Not a traditional center, but a tall forward.
Harland's terror lies in his size, leg length, and excellent body control even under high intensity sprinting and confrontation. The performance in the 33rd minute of the game is arguably his most iconic shot of the game.
As long as Harland is allowed to start and accelerate, and then deliver a decent quality behind-the-back ball, it will be hard to find a few defenses around the world that can block his impact. With City's overall technical ability in the midfield, it would be easy to give Harland a quality slash and a straight line, and the Norwegian would surely be able to convert these chances into goals. But the problem is that City's style of soccer is very different from Dortmund's. The Norwegian will be able to convert those chances into goals.
## Harlend, the backs have to be practiced too ##

Celebrating a goal with Alvarez.
First of all, direct kicks, behind the back balls, direct and diagonal passes with advance mean "risky" and "direct", which are not particularly emphasized in Guardiola's soccer philosophy. Some chances that don't seem to be chances, if you pass the ball, Harland may surprise you with his physical talent, but according to the philosophy that Guardiola has instilled in City's players for a long time, they probably won't pass the ball if it's not a particularly good line (with the exception of De Bruyne, which is a good line with his ability), and are more likely to observe it and pass it to the wing or to the central defender who is coming up to the ball, and then organize it and see if there's a better chance. See if we can get a better chance. City players need to be more familiar with Harland's path, that's [one of the] things. Of course, this is not the core of the problem, and time can solve this kind of thing to a certain extent.
Perhaps more critical [the second] is that Manchester City in the Premier League, the proportion of positional offense is much larger than the conversion offense. Harland in the conversion offense is like the NBA's Alphabet Brother across the ocean, one word "strong", two words "monster", three words "historical level", close your eyes on the ball and then look at him! The problem can be solved. But in the position attack environment, sprinting space is less, the defense density is big, the requirements of the sudden forward arrow will be more three-dimensional. Especially in a team like Manchester City, you will be tested on your ability as a No.9 to make frequent interactions with teammates around you, and to make some delicate connections. At least for the time being, Harland looks immature in these areas.
Harland (name)
Missed open goal opportunity.
If the league can still deal with a little bit, the system integration is not so in place to rely on the hard power to crush is also OK, then in the league strong dialogue and the Champions League knockout stage such a major occasion, Manchester City proud of the midfield control encounter a team also organized, ability to outstanding, control of the ball penetration is not so effective, need to open up the space of the winger when Harland can prove their backs to the goal to kick the ball is also the football world! The best? Questions that didn't surface completely when playing for Borussia Dortmund will surely come to Harland at Manchester City.
Guardiola had personally coached Sterling, but Sterling and Harland, after all, different types of positions, coaching Harland for Guardiola believe that is a new challenge. In the end is the melon Shuai coaching success, Harland and then in turn for Guardiola "to solve the spirit of internal friction", the European Championships to get what you want; or is it that with the passage of time, Harland will in turn become Guardiola's new "spirit of internal friction" it?
