"Daily Mail" conducted pre -match predictions on this game: "Bernemouth was once good at once, and stabilized the top seven positions on the standings.
It is just that the team seems to have fallen into a small tide in the near future. In addition to being frustrated at home to Manchester United and Arsenal, they have lost three consecutive defeats in Newcastle.
In addition, Bernemouth also has Colombian midfielder Jefferson Lalema's stop tonight. In addition, the defender Adam Smith is absent due to injuries. In the middle and backcourt, the main force is missing.
It's hard to have sweetness.
The Manchester City team at the top of the Premier League is currently on the top of the Lazaka.
The powerful Manchester City successfully entered the Champions League with the first group, entered the top 16 in advance, and morale is prosperous.
Faced with Bernemouth, which has gradually declined recently, it is expected that you can win the seven consecutive victories at home. "
That night, the Etihad Stadium was crowded, and there were no seats.
The seat rate of Etihad Stadium this season has become the first in the Premier League, and almost every game is full.
Many media believe that this is a change brought by Li Chuanqi.
This campaign squeezed the lineup, Li Chuanqi, Deblaune, and Aguero sat on the bench, let Sane, B seat and Jesus start.
After the start of the game, Manchester City launched a violent attack on Bernemouth with its strength.
In the fifth minute of the first half, Stelin, who had a good condition in the near future, created opportunities in the left, and after getting rid of the opponent's defender, he rushed in front of the door.
Football is off the goal!
Three minutes later, Manchester City came again. David Silva made a cross from the left.
In the tenth minute of the first half, Manchester City made a wonderful pass control, penetrated the football into the penalty area, and pushed the B seat in one foot!
Football is magically blocked out of the bottom line by the opponent's goalkeeper!
In the 16th minute of the first half, Manchester City's efforts were finally rewarded. David Silva got a chance in the middle of the penalty area. His left foot shot directly through the opponent's goal!
Zero -zero!
Manchester City broke the deadlock!
Etihad Stadium is like a thunder.
After breaking the deadlock, Manchester City continued to strengthen the offense. Twenty -fourth minute in the first half, Manchester City launched an offense from the right. After Greasse took the pass in Sane's pass in the penalty area, he got rid of the defense and shot a low shot!
Football hit the edge!
In the next game, Manchester City slowed down the offensive rhythm, which gave Bernemouth a chance.
The Manchester City players on the court clearly understood that they were not Li Chuanqi, Deblaune, it was impossible to end the suspense in the first half early in the first half.
At the end of the first half, the wind and rain on the field changed!
In the 44th minute of the first half, Berne Mersame launched an attack from the right. Francis sent an assist through the border passing goal. Wilson ran the goal in the central header of the penalty area.
One to one!
Bernemouth equalized the score and kept this score to the end of the first half.
At the last half of the first half, the opponent was equalized. Manchester City's fans were not panicked, because several ace of Manchester City were still on the bench.
These people give them strong confidence. As long as they play, they can easily defeat their opponents.
Moreover, they also want to see if there are no absolute cores on the court. Can Manchester City lead the lead and see how the bench in Manchester City is depth.
After fifteen minutes of midfielder, players on both sides returned to the field.
Manchester City continued to put pressure on the opponent's defense line, but Bernemouth's defense was very tenacious, leaving Manchester City's offensive again and again.
Only bloom?!
Manchester City fans helplessly shake their heads, Manchester City's bench depth is indeed okay, but rely on them to compete for the Premier League ...
In the ninth minute of the second half, Jinqinke was accidentally injured and disrupted Guardiola's replacement plan.
This is a passive replacement, Guardiola let Delf replace the injured Jinqin family.
There are only two replacement opportunities left in Manchester City!
The scene was still stuck, and Guardiola seemed to lose patience. In the fifteenth minute of the second half, Guardiola decisively made personnel adjustments.
He uses all the two replacement places to complete all the two replacement places!
This replacement method allows reporters on the sidelines to discuss:
"Isn't Guardiola afraid that players are injured?"
"Yes! He has to leave at least one place!"
"Is this imbalanced? Or is you confident in your team?"
"Guardiola can only pray his players, don't be injured in the next time ..."
"Guardiola is a bit anxious, I want to win the game earlier!"
On the sidelines, tactical coach Alda was explaining tactics to Li Chuanqi: "Li, remember that you are playing the center position today, no longer winger!"
Dablawn was not too big, and said with a smile: "Assistant! It's okay! Lee can kick any position, you can rest assured!"
When he heard Li Chuanqi going to play in the center for the first time, he couldn't lift his waist.
Kick center?
Li Chuanqi did not have much rejection. He played the center when he was in St. Malaga and Maraga. His "master" in San Malaga was a center.
During Atletico Madrid, Simonny's favorite formation is four or four. Although Li Chuanqi and Costa are both forwards, Costa is more time.
Leaving Atletico, he said to the club to accept new challenges.
If the center is also a challenge, he is glad to accept it.
"No problem, I know my position is the center!"
Li Chuanqi patted Alta's shoulder and said: "This position is closer to the goal, maybe it is easier to score."
Dablau didn't know where Li Chuanqi's confidence was, and laughed with a joke: "You can stand there, I will pass the football to the feet of the puppet, your task is shooting!"
Alta was obviously not assured, and told Li Chuanqi a few words.
Gre Susi and B walked towards the field, and Manchester City's bench was surprised.
Jesus?
"Is the coach dissatisfied with me?"
Aguero exhaled heavily. The problem was that my recent state is good.
He immediately suppressed his inner restlessness. As his age increased and his physical fitness decreased, the team must consider it in the future.
Jesus is really good, but there is still a certain gap with the main force.
Let Li Chuanqi kick the center may be just an attempt ...
Guardiola often engages in some strange tricks during the competition. Maybe this is preparing for the competition.
The reporter group on the sidelines again discussed again:
"Center?"
"Guardiola is going to build a Li who covers the entire frontcourt?"
"Li's height makes it okay for him to play as a center... But let him play as a center... I've rarely seen him play this position before..."
"When Cristiano Ronaldo was at Real Madrid, he often played center forward. I think Li should be fine!"
"Let's see how Li performs in this position?"
"Without a forward formation, it doesn't matter which position Li plays... Anyway, the forwards drop back and the midfielders push forward!"
"Without a doubt, this is a challenge for Lee! We'll see."
