As the Season's Premier League has entered the final stages, the title battle has become more and more intense, in a focus battle, Liverpool home 4-0 bloodbath Manchester United, once again proud of the Double Red Club, let them in the case of one more game to surpass the Blue Moon Army 2 points to the top of the table, Manchester City in the midweek 30th round of the supplementary round, sitting at home to meet the Challenge of Brighton, although the latter is significantly different from the Blue Moon Army in the rankings, but their recent performance is very good, After defeating Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur in two consecutive league rounds, it became a veritable six-star nemesis, which is why many fans laughed at the Blue Moon Legion before the game.
However, after the start of the game, Guardiola's passing control of the football, so that the opponent can not see a trace of hope of upset, most of the time can only watch manchester City players on the field continue to pass the ball, and finally the Blue Moon Army rely on the goals of Mahrez, Foden and Bernardo Silva, the home 3-0 victory over Brighton, this game is Pep Guardiola's 250th victory after taking charge of Manchester City, to achieve this achievement Guardiola only 344 games, becoming the fastest Premier League manager to win 250, The previous record holder was the madman Mourinho, who won 396-250!
Weak teams face strong opponents, the easiest and most effective way to win the cold is to defend the counterattack, in this game against Manchester City, Brighton put up a formation of three defenders and five midfielders, hoping to be able to contain Manchester City's attack by relying on the numerical advantage in the midfield, and then use the impact of the double arrow Welbeck and Gross to use the defensive counterattack to threaten the Goal of the Blue Moon Army.
The idea is very good, but after the game starts, it is not so at all, Manchester City's super control ability makes it difficult for Brighton to touch the ball, which directly led to the strong team nemesis of Lianke Tottenham Arsenal, only completed 2 goals in the whole game, which is why fans said that Manchester City will be comfortable with Brighton.
