Manchester City is Manchester City, after all. Any player who serves this team has some skills and their understanding of football and technical level is world-class!
Soon, Manchester City tried out the three-back formation for the first time. After a slightly unsettling ten minutes, they gradually found their rhythm.
Kompany, playing as the sweeper, actively moved back two meters, allowing left center-back Stones more space in the backfield to fully utilize his ability as a ball-playing central defender.
After some communication, Mkhitaryan gradually adjusted to the tempo of Diego and Ranocchia's play, stopped being too aggressive, and their collaboration became more adept.
Of course, the most outstanding performance came from Tang Long on the front line!
Guardiola employed a double forward tactic for this match.
