#Winter Life Season#Recently, it has been difficult for Premier League champions Manchester City, suffering 8 Devils in one month, which has made Guardiola and his disciples miserable.
Now that the Devils are halfway through the schedule, the performance of Manchester City is hardly satisfactory, and after a brief period of joy in the two-line double defeat of Chelsea (1-0 away at Chelsea in the league, 4-0 at home to Chelsea in the FA Cup), the team lost its previous domineering and suffered the embarrassment of a two-line rout:
In the Carabao Cup, the Blue Moon visited St Mary's Stadium, and the whole game was 0 shots on target, and finally 0:2 by Saints Southampton clean sheet, missing the League Cup last 4, the team has missed two trophies this season.
In the league match, the Blue Moon Army visited Old Trafford, the team suffered another heavy blow, suffered a controversial penalty, and was finally reversed 1-2 by the city's arch-rival Manchester United, ending a three-game winning streak against the Red Devils, while the points were thrown away by leaders Arsenal by as many as 8 points, losing the initiative to defend the league title.
At the same time, the team's top scorer Majin Haaland seems to have lost his magic, suffering a three-goal drought, and the courage of 21 goals in 15 league games is gone, and Pep Guardiola's tactics are once again questioned.
From 0:2 to 1:2, the Blue Moon suffered a double line of blows, the demon Haaland was dumbfounded, the defending champions were in an unprecedented situation this season, and manager Pep Guardiola was under pressure.
To make matters worse, the Devils still have 4 tough battles to face, namely:
League 7th round of play-offs, Manchester City vs Tottenham
League round 21, Manchester City vs Wolves
FA Cup Round 4, Manchester City vs Arsenal
League round 22, Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester City
The four major opponents are all hard bones, especially against Big6 two giants Lily Legion Tottenham and Gunners Arsenal, it is a matter of the prospect of the two championships, do not dare to be careless, once lost again, the consequences are unimaginable.
Thankfully, the Blue Moon are home in three of the four matches, which gives Guardiola and his disciples a little more confidence.
Pep Guardiola's side have been trustworthy at home this season, with 15 wins, 13 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat in the fourth line, 50 goals and only 14 goals conceded. Among them, the league is 9 wins, 7 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat, scoring 31 goals and conceding 10 goals, ranking first in the league home standings; Won all 3 games in the Champions League, scoring 10 goals and conceding 2; Winning all 2 games in the Carabao Cup, scoring 5 goals and conceding 2 goals, the FA Cup swept the Blues Chelsea 4-0, and the team has a home win rate of 86.7%.
Next, Manchester City face Conte's Lily Legion Tottenham Hotspur first, and the time has come to test Guardiola.
At 04:00 a.m. Beijing time on January 20, the seventh round of Premier League play-offs is about to usher in a highlight match, with defending champions Manchester City facing Tottenham Hotspur at their home stadium Etihad. In last season's two-legged league clash, Pep Guardiola's side were beaten by Tottenham Hotspur 2-4 (0:1, 2:3), and this new season is the first league meeting, and the team is fighting for revenge.
To achieve this wish, Guardiola and Conte two champion managers ushered in the sixth meeting, in the previous five meetings, Kong Erlenzi achieved 3 wins and 2 losses, the manager with the highest win rate against Gua Shuai (more than 4 matches), with a win rate of 60%; Secondly, Manchester City has suffered two consecutive killings by the Lily Army, and Manchester City's prospects for this game are not optimistic.
As the saying goes, two and three times again, and the Blue Moon Legion is strong at home, Guardiola and his disciples are full of confidence in this match and look forward to a strong rise, what is the final outcome? We'll see!
