2016/2017 Premier League 7th round, Manchester City VS Tottenham Hotspur.

For this battle of focus, many people are paying attention.

Especially in China, CCTV Channel 5 warmed up early.

"Yile VS De Bruyne, who is the best midfielder of the young generation in the Premier League? 》

The matchup has always been a guarantee of ratings, and after the warm-up, fans who are looking forward to this game can't wait.

At 1:30 a.m., the battle of the spotlight finally began.

The starting line-ups of both sides were the first to be played on the screen.

Manchester City (4-1-4-1):

Goalkeeper: Bravo.

Defenders: Kolarov, Stones, Otamendi, Sagna.

Midfielders: De Bruyne, Silva, Gundogan, Raheem Sterling, Fernandinho.

Forward: Sergio Aguero.

"Manchester City has put on the strongest lineup of the whole squad this time, with Otamendi and John Stones in the backline performing very well recently, and Kolarov and Sagna are also frequently inserted under Pep Guardiola's arrangement."

"The midfield aspect is the main thing, the duel between De Bruyne and Yile, both of whom are new to the Premier League and have played very well. And this time Silva finally appeared, and both teams had their strongest line-ups to start. ”

Zhang Lu and Zhan Jun conducted a simple analysis.

Subsequently, the starting line-up from Tottenham's side also appeared.

Tottenham Hotspur (4-2-3-1):

Defenders: Aldved, Vergenton, Danny. Rose, Kyle. Walker.

Midfielders: Yi Le, Son Heung-min, Dele. Ali, Kante, Eric. Dell.

Forward: Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

'Tottenham's formation is solid, Alderved's play has made the Tottenham defence very solid, and with N'Golo Kante's interception in midfield, it will be difficult to break through Tottenham's defence. Zhan Jun said.

Zhang Lu nodded and said; 'Yes, and since Tottenham switched to a 4-2-3-1 formation, the energy that has exploded in the centre-back position has been terrifying. His commanding skills were further developed and we can see for a long time that Tottenham have relied on a change of tempo to attack suddenly. ”

"The most important thing is the attack, Tottenham have finally been liberated from the goal drought, Son Heung-min has been shining more and more recently, and he has taken on a lot of attacking pressure during Kane's injury."

'Ibrahimovic's play is also commendable, the Swede's threat in front of goal is too great, and no one knows how the long-handed Swede will send the ball into the goal.

......

The camera pans to the players' tunnel and flashes over each player, stopping for half a minute between Yile and De Bruyne.

For the focal point of this game, they naturally need more attention.

The media reporters looked at this scene excitedly, and they hoped that there would be some 'communication' between the two, such as glaring, provocation and other actions.

But to their disappointment, the two did not communicate at all, from beginning to end, Yile was looking ahead in a daze, and De Bruyne kept his head down and didn't know what he was thinking...

When the commentator shouted Yile's name, there was a flurry of boos from the stands at Manchester City's City Stadium.

It's just that Yi Le's expression hasn't changed at all, and he has seen too much of this kind of battle.

Kevin. De Bruyne quietly poked his head out and glanced at Yi Le, then took a deep breath and said secretly: You are not afraid of him! Kevin, come on!

Until the handshake...

"I... I.. I'll beat you! ”

Kevin. After De Bruyne finished speaking, his cheeks turned red and burst.

Yi Le smiled brightly, stretched out his hand to shake it, and said, "Come on!" ”

Kevin. De Bruyne left in disgrace, the first round of encounters, completely defeated!

Preparation, Kevin. De Bruyne patted his cheek hard, he needed to be sober.

He wants to tell everyone that he is better than Yile.

For the media, Yile has always been the No.1 of the younger generation of the Premier League.

Last season, Yile led Tottenham to the Premier League title, and despite being in a state of falling gods that season, Kevin Lee. De Bruyne asked himself if he could accomplish such a feat on behalf of Yile, and the final answer told him that it was very much in the air.

After this, Kevin. De Bruyne sees Yile as his main rival in the Premier League.

He is afraid of Yile, but he always wants to defeat him.

It's contradictory, he knows it, but that's it, cowardly and unconvinced!

......

The referee blew the whistle and the game began.

Tottenham, who are playing away from home, have been at their start with a suffocating attacking tempo, with the midfield and forward line putting pressure on the City goal.

That's Villas-Boas's philosophy of football, fuck it!

It's just that Guardiola is also a head coach who advocates attack, and this game is an extreme offensive battle.

But no one expected that there would be a goal just after the game started.

This is incredulous even for the most radical fans.

In the opening five minutes, Yi Le won the ball in the circle, split the football towards the right, and then ran forward with a leisurely ride.

At this time, there was no one to defend Yile, which surprised him greatly.

Son Heung-min also saw this, and he passed the football without hesitation.

Yi Le didn't stick to the ball, looking at Gundogan who rushed towards him, Yi Le dragged the football to spin slightly for half a circle, knocked it slightly with his heel, and the football changed direction and went straight to the left side.

Dele. Ali decisively stepped forward, dribbled down to the bottom, and after observing the position in the big penalty area, decisively passed in a cross.

Ibrahimovic was in the position, and the whole person rose into the air like a falcon, a classic upside-down golden hook.

1:0！

Just five minutes into the game, Tottenham scored a goal!

The entire Manchester City Stadium fell silent for a moment, with only a handful of Tottenham fans cheering.

Inside the stadium, the Tottenham players celebrated excitedly.

On the sidelines, Boas also shook his arms excitedly.

......

However, City equalised in their next attack.

Raheem Sterling broke through on the right and crossed decisively.

Virhengtong made a fatal mistake, and this product actually came to the top.

Aguero didn't jump at all, and when he saw this rise, he quickly leaned back, controlled the landing point at the first time, and twisted himself into a volley.

Sergio Aguero was less than five metres away from goal, and goalkeeper Lloris couldn't even react in time to watch the ball enter the net.

At 1:1, Sergio Aguero equalized.

The entire Manchester City Stadium erupted into a huge wave of noise, and Aguero raised his index finger high, one more!

'It was a fatal mistake for Virhenton, a goal that made Tottenham very passive and their advantage was wiped out!'

Director Zhang Lu also shook his head and said: "Vir Hengtong is in a hurry, Aldved has already taken the position at that time, Vir Hengtong only needs to limit Aguero, and the task of competing for the top is handed over to Aldved, if this is the case, it will not give up the advantage to others!" ”

On the sidelines, Boas was also thunderous.

He could have conceded the ball, but it was too low-level and too demoralizing.

After conceding the ball, the whole back did not slow down for a long time, and Virhengtong looked even more stupid.

Pep Guardiola smiles that everything is under control.

Against Tottenham, the breakthrough must not be in the midfield, but at the back.

Tottenham's backline is not that strong at all, and it has always relied on Aldved to hold on.

Virhenton is a man who is easy to get up to, just like the previous one and he will play some unconventional defense, and that's the hidden danger.

Pep Guardiola's City just need to settle down in midfield while constantly putting pressure on Tottenham's backline, with N'Golo Kante going around him.

The effect was clear, and the problem was kicked to Tottenham.

Now, what are you going to do?
