Guardiola stayed on the sidelines, focusing on observing the players in group A.

If nothing unexpected happens, these new players will become the absolute main force this season.

The players he needs have one thing in common: outstanding footwork and strong passing ability.

Whether it is De Bruyne, Gundogan, or Zhao Yi, they all have this ability.

Zhao Yi is now at the forefront of him, acting as a striker, but in the end he will definitely shape Zhao Yi into a real frontcourt free man. Beyond the center circle is Zhao Yi's main range of activities.

Although several people are new players, because of their own ball intelligence and technical level, there will be no problem with passing and some simple tactical coordination.

However, it can be clearly seen that De Bruyne's desire to pass the ball to Zhao Yi is somewhat low.

Even if Zhao Yi can run out of position, De Bruyne's pass is difficult to keep up in time.

This caused some problems in the attack of group A.

Guardiola frowned.

After several rounds of attack and defense, Zhao Yi has begun to actively retreat to the midfield to receive Gundogan's pass.

After Zhao Yi got the ball, he took the initiative to find De Bruyne once, and then he never passed the ball to De Bruyne on the left again, preferring to cooperate with Sterling.

Guardiola crossed his arms and was in trouble.

He spent nearly 180 million euros on a heavyweight new player, and there was a big problem.

These two people seemed to be fighting?

But he could see at a glance that Zhao Yi didn't dislike De Bruyne, but he started to fight back because De Bruyne didn't pass the ball to him several times.

Because Zhao Yi took the initiative to seek cooperation with De Bruyne at the beginning.

As a result, De Bruyne didn't return the favor, as if he treated Zhao Yi as air.

De Bruyne's temper... is still the same.

At the beginning, he left Chelsea and went to the Bundesliga because of an unpleasant experience with Mourinho.

Now that he is in Manchester City, his temper has not changed.

Guardiola didn't say anything, just watched.

As expected, Group B defeated Group A 2:0 in 20 minutes.

Aguero scored twice, showing his extraordinary shooting skills.

He even looked at Guardiola directly.

Are you sure you don't want me?

No one else can do it either.

Demichelis, who was defending Zhao Yi, let out a sigh of relief.

This kid is really not good enough. He must have taken some medicine to be so strong in the previous FA Cup.

Guardiola clapped his hands and asked Aguero and Zhao Yi to switch sides.

"David Silva will pass the ball to where it should be. Guardiola called Zhao Yi to his side.

"David Silva gave Aguero two assists, now it's your turn."After talking to Zhao Yi, Guardiola called De Bruyne over again.

The two sides stood up again, Arteta blew a whistle, and the two sides started fighting again.

The second half of the training match had just been going on for the fifth minute. David Silva passed the ball alone, performed a magic run, and directly passed De Bruyne.

A straight pass penetrated the middle.

This was the first time in such a long time that Zhao Yi got the ball so close to the penalty area.

He would never miss this opportunity.

Although Otamendi followed closely behind him, he kept interfering and tried to kick the ball.

But Zhao Yi stuck his position on the penalty area line and carried Otamendi's foot. After the explosive shot, he was unable to keep his body steady and was knocked to the ground by Otamendi.

Joe Hart tried his best to save the ball, but unfortunately Zhao Yi's right-foot shot was too accurate.

He didn't need to adjust or warm up at all, his first shot went straight into the dead corner!

Zhao Yi got up from the ground and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he had received several passes from Gundogan before, he didn't have such a good opportunity.

As a result, he didn't even have a shot.

David Silva's deft through ball finally gave him the opportunity to show off his shooting skills and confrontation.

Zhao Yi was very excited after scoring the goal, and after high-fiving David Silva, they hugged each other.

"You posted it so well!"

"No, no, no, it's your shot that's good. Many people in our team can make this kind of pass!" David Silva is very humble. Zhao Yi's positioning has always been very good, but in Wolves, it is really difficult to get this kind of shooting opportunity. In

Wolves, he either shoots hard outside the penalty area, or shoots with a triangle, or shoots in front of the goal.

This kind of one-on-one shot after running through the middle is really too rare.

And this time, David Silva seized the opportunity directly and passed the ball to the right position!

This is indeed the gap between teammates.

Doyle is considered a good number ten player in English League One, but compared with David Silva, the level gap is indeed obvious.

Guardiola looked at this connection and clapped his hands lightly.

Top passer, top striker, means goals equal victory.

This should be the cooperation between De Bruyne and Zhao Yi.

But Unfortunately... De Bruyne seemed to have a grudge.

The training match continued.

De Bruyne, who was eager to prove himself, began to dribble the ball frequently.

However, his strength is the fatal pass with a God's vision.

His dribbling is good, but his breakthrough ability is not the best.

His breakthrough is to use his speed to get rid of it, which is a quasi-breakthrough, and he did not actually completely pass it.

Once he encounters top defense, such as Fernandinho, he will be very uncomfortable.

Without the cooperation of his teammates, it is difficult for him to dodge the angle and show his advantages.

But he doesn't want to pass back and waste his opportunities.

This leads to a problem. After he gets the ball, Group A's offense will fall into a weird stagnant state.

Zhao Yi, who was angry with De Bruyne, actively ran over to assist in defense at this time.

Although Zhao Yi's defense The defensive positioning and awareness were far worse, but the two of them still made De Bruyne very helpless when dealing with him, and he was intercepted by Fernandinho several times.

Then Group B started to counterattack on the spot.

Zhao Yi's movement, coupled with the dispatching of Yaya Toure and David Silva, made Group A's defense, which was not very good to begin with, look bad.

This made De Bruyne very crazy.

He fell into a vicious circle.

That precise pass was useless, and he didn't look for teammates to cooperate, which made him look particularly isolated.

This made Gundogan and Sterling unhappy.

We are all newcomers, and everyone wants to perform, but we can't do whatever we want, right?

You hold the ball and you won't let go?

Before, they just didn't supply ammunition to Zhao Yi, but now it has developed to not passing the ball to anyone?

Then how can we do it ? How to play football?

Although Gundogan was a little resentful, when she got the ball, she still chose to pass it to De Bruyne when she saw that there was an open space. After Gundogan advanced with the ball, he passed it to De Bruyne.

He was indignant. If De Bruyne made another mistake this time, he would never pass the ball again.

Fortunately, De Bruyne seized the opportunity this time. He did not dribble forward, but directly exerted force with his left foot and kicked a curve ball!

Accurately passed Aguero and found Sterling at the back post!

Sterling twisted his big butt and rushed over.

Adjusted two steps, and then kicked the ball out of the goal.

Sterling, who was not in good condition, opened his innocent big eyes and held his head.

Guardiola touched his chin. Judging from the ability to seize opportunities in front of the goal, the gap between Sterling and Zhao Yi is very large!
