In the 17th round of the Premier League, a famous coach showdown was staged, and Pep Guardiola defeated Bielsa and Manchester City swept Leeds United 7-0! De Bruyne scored twice, with Foden and Mahrez passing each other.
As we all know, Bielsa is Guardiola's mentor, and Guardiola once asked him for advice, thinking that "Cruyff is the coach who has the greatest influence on me, and Bielsa is the coach I respect the most." "And on the pitch, the greatest respect for the opponent is to go all out and play the best game."
Manchester City played really well, the scene was absolutely in control, the attack was flowing, the efficiency of seizing opportunities was also quite high, Foden opened the record in the 12th minute of the opening, after which the goals came one after another, De Bruyne scored twice, Andgraish, Mahrez, Stones and Arc scored a goal each, and finally locked up a 7-0 victory!
The data shows that this is Manchester City's 33rd Premier League victory in 2021, equaling the record number of wins in the English top league set by Liverpool in 1982! Of course, it also refreshed the historical record of the Premier League that he held.
Second, in the last 15 Premier League games played on Tuesday local time, Manchester City have remained unbeaten, and the last time they lost was in August 1993. Third, Guardiola has managed Manchester City in 207 Premier League games and has scored more than 500 goals (506 goals), breaking Klopp's record for the fewest Premier League games (234).
Fourth, 7-0, was the second biggest win in City's top league history, behind 8-0 Watford in 2019.
Fifth, he conceded seven goals in a single game, the first time since 568 games of Bielsa's coaching career! The Argentine coach, who is accustomed to squatting on the sidelines, is very disappointed and helpless, because the gap in strength between the two teams is indeed too big.
After this battle, Manchester City have won seven consecutive Premier League games and continue to lead the table, in such good form that they have naturally become the biggest favourites to win the title this season, in addition, one of the biggest favourites in the Champions League.
