Zhan Jun Weibo:

Guardiola is a master of the generation and a representative of the "Tao-seeking School" in the football world. But in the past two years, he has always been easily hurt by the "magic" of anti-revolution. In the end, he absolutely embraced "magic" and changed to the path of "the combination of Taoism and demons". Before the season, I personally mentioned that the keyword for Manchester City is "seeking change", and this time the change is very big. Manchester City's opponents should be more careful in the future!

Zhan Junying's quick comment on the Premier League:

Manchester City is interesting, I really didn't expect that Guardiola, who has thick eyebrows and big eyes, also started playing with buses! Manchester City's formation in this game started with 4141, and after scoring a goal, it became 451 patiently playing against the counterattack.

With the defensive pressure in the second half, I simply changed to 5. The defender formation became 532, and even became a more conservative 550 in the final stage. Throughout the game, Manchester City's ball possession rate was less than 33%. This is a new low for Guardiola's coaching career, coaching in the top league, and a single game ball possession rate!

On the one hand, it is very likely that Manchester City will have two days less rest than the opponent in two games a week, so the players' physical fitness will decline more effectively; the other is to respect the opponent's strength, especially the depth of Arsenal's lineup, and constantly replace new new forces and new offensive players. So when they want to save 3 points, Guardiola has embarked on a conservative path.

We also mentioned in the past that Guardiola has fully grasped the pain of defense, including the big decline last season and the elimination of Riyadh Crescent in the Club World Cup. They also lost to Tottenham at home in the new season. Guardiola has experienced such painful understanding of the same loss routine!

Therefore, in the strong competition, from the Manchester City derby on the field, Manchester City deliberately shrank its defense line and changed to the anti-defense tactics. It can also be said that after learning from the lesson, Guardiola decided to use his own way to continue to use his own way. He began to embrace the trend. After all, fighting and reversing the defense is now the trend!

I particularly emphasize that this is the changes and adjustments made by Guardiola in a strong competition. I personally think that such a Manchester City is even more terrifying! Two sets of tactics will conquer the world. When confronting mid- and lower-level teams, their passes and controls will continue, but the rhythm and speed will accelerate. When facing opponents whose strength is closer to them, they will patiently play against and counterattack and play to Haaland's strong assault ability.

Including this game, you can also see the routine of playing against the defensive counterattack. Reindez and Doku are good at interspersing and dribbling and breaking through, which can constantly provide Haaland with more opportunities. Therefore, Haaland is currently the only player in the Premier League scorer list, which is closely related to Guardiola's tactical adjustments, so Manchester City's opponents should be careful next. Now Guardiola, like the line in the movie, must grasp both hands and be strong both hands.
