Journalist Xu Danlei reported on a strong storm rarely seen in the United Kingdom in the past decade, which forced the Manchester City plane returning from Lisbon in the middle of last week to land in Liverpool, and let the local airport officials push and take the opportunity to "welcome to the football capital of England" to uninvited guests. But relying on the "speed of the tongue" alone cannot narrow the 9-point difference. In addition to Klopp and his disciples' tri-service lives, Reds fans also thanked Conte for his "gang field".
Also because of the storm called "Younis", Spurs were forced to change the means of transportation for the Manchester trip from airplanes to buses, and then they also drove "buses" into the stadium.
Conte's low stance and Kane's good form allowEdtham Hotspur to beat the leader 3-2 away from home, and the Suspense of the Premier League title is up again, and the four variables are added! Conte drove the bus out of the storm of three consecutive defeats, and Guardiola, who was ended by 15 unbeaten rounds, truly experienced a fall into the clouds.
A "classic Premier League battle" (Sky Sports) that scored 6 goals and counted 5 goals, such as the wind and clouds, echoed the weather above the venue. But storms on the turf and in the sky won't change the established path of Manchester City and Tottenham this season. Manchester City led Liverpool by six points in one game, narrowing their advantage. Guardiola will still strive to win the Premier League early this season, while opening up more possibilities for the Champions League. Conte will not stay in this victory for long, and his direct competitors are still "Arsenal, Leicester, West Ham, Villa, Brighton, Wolves".
A gain or loss, it is difficult to change the temperament of the two famous men. Both are paranoid and win, so they have come to the top of the industry. Conte's tactics in the Premier League, the difference is only between 343 and 352. Guardiola is extremely obsessed with passing. Conte had a headache when he encountered multiple lines, and Pep repeatedly fell on the fray in the Champions League. But both of them are still the same, and they have lost many battles.
Conte won the Premier League in his first year at Chelsea, while "Guardiola didn't have anything in his first year". So far, 5 times, Conte 3-2 Pup, quite proud.
Guardiola led the team to play in the league, with a strong squad and unified tactics, to kill all kinds of possibilities in advance to the greatest extent; in the Champions League, he was afraid of chance, self-denial, and several failures. Guardiola expected Conte to bottom out before the match, but he still couldn't stop the defeat. Later in the game, City attacked with suicide and were repulsed by Tottenham. But Pep's grasp of the Premier League should soon wake up Manchester City and maintain their strength in the league.
Pep attacked, Conte defended; Manchester City were creative, Tottenham were destroying. The Italian coach was an expert in cup competitions, but Conte was an outlier. However, the operation of the Tottenham hotspur manager under the same tactical framework and the targeted adjustment of different opponents still have many traces of fellow coaches.
Are City Guahlmanns perfect? "There is no perfect team. Manchester City is almost perfect. "Conte's recent evaluation of Manchester City is also to some extent pushing himself and others. Both have strengths that each other lack, and if Guardiola plus Conte?
A game with many scoring chances and Tottenham's four goals has inspired both managers. City haven't lost in the league since last October, conceding just two points in the first 15 rounds against Tottenham. But Pep believes that Conte Tottenham, who have lost three consecutive games, "will not be able to lose a fourth game", so that it will cause big trouble for Manchester City.
Sure enough, just after the start, Spurs used the home team to almost completely overwhelm the half and dragged the offside position in the final Dias, and Son Heung-min single-handedly went straight into the assist Kulousevsky and opened the record.
Tottenham Hotspur is ahead of the curve, not changing the predetermined situation of the main attack and the guest, but quickly changing the mentality of the host and the guest. Manchester City suddenly changed from a downhill to a climb, and Sterling, Gundogan and Canceló fired cannons without success, which was the consequence of increased psychological pressure.
Guardiola was jealous of Conte, not necessarily. In the 2016/17 season, Conte came to the Premier League for the first time, leading Chelsea to beat Manchester City in the league home and away, becoming the first manager to double-beat Pepp in a single season, and the Blues won the Premier League that season.
A season later, The Guady Blues defeated the Conte Blues and won the title at the end of the season. This Saturday night, Pep's response also came quickly: Manchester City wore a butterfly-like pass, short hits mixed with long knocks, and finally beat the defensive line that satisfied Conte after Wearer's return, gundogan equalized.
Behind, Guardiola's impatience does not lose to Conte, while the latter is thoughtful. Under the pressure of Manchester City, Spurs once again used the counter-attack, with Son Heung-min assisting Kane. Behind again, Pep, who was sitting on the bench, picked up the water bottle and drank. At this moment, does he feel the regret of quoting Kane "4 times" last summer?
Guardiola is once again seven emotions above, which is the penalty question caused by Romero's handball at the end of the game. Until Mahrez scored a penalty, the City manager felt that it was not enough and wanted to regain three points in seven minutes of stoppage time.
It was Conte who laughed after this time. Kane jumped up and headed the ball into the net, Conte screamed wildly and rushed into the crowd, and Pep almost fell to his knees. From pre-match caution, to laissez-faire during the game, to post-match frustration, Guardiola got at least one game of his own, even if the result was negative.
Both coaches have latin-style dares to speak out, such as supporting players to enjoy happy intimate relationships. On this topic, Conte's views can even be extended to the requirements of time, efficiency and posture, which shows his rigorous and even harsh side. Just like him on the sidelines, he always danced like he was wearing invisible shackles.
The so-called "shackles" are Conte's strict requirements for technical tactics and player performance, and they will not look back. In order to build the team, he did not hesitate to blame Costa and fight with the Chelsea top brass. The same story seems to be happening at Tottenham hot spots again.
In an interview with Sky Stage Italy, Conte's statement about the team's "winter window has gone four and two come" is easy to analyze into dissatisfaction with Levi and cause a lot of turmoil. Spurs struggled in the slump and Conte shook in the storm. By contrast, Guardiola before the game was like in the clouds.
But it is difficult to stabilize in the clouds, just like the brief horror of the Manchester City flight over Manchester City, only by sitting on the championship throne. Next, Manchester City will be involved in a more arduous title struggle with Liverpool. City had a lot of shots in the wave, with one penalty in one of the two goals. Tottenham Hotspur rest for a week, Manchester City a week of double matches. Pep would be glad his opponent was the same two-line Klopp, not Conte, who had been grammed more than once.
Taking advantage of the large number of defenders and the quick ball from the defensive to the attack, the efficient connection, Conte beat Pep. The Italian's recent knocks on the team have had a positive effect, and Tottenham hot will shake their spirits to compete for four. The eye of the storm hidden in Tottenham Hotspur is also when the opponent is not Manchester City Reds, but a direct competitor, will Conte still put down his body like this one and "wait" for a victory with less than 30% of the possession? And once the results are not good, Will Conte go straight again and light fires everywhere.
Spurs beat Missing Major General 1-0 in the first round of the season, but Nuno was then dismissed and City climbed and led. With a new manager, Spurs beat Manchester City again in a single season, and Conte can pinch the team in a single game with great tenacity and seriously warn Manchester City. With such a game effect, it is a new start for both teams.
