The opening partner Harland swept the European powers

July 6, 2020.

The restarted Premier League continues, and this time the Manchester City manager left the empty Etihad Stadium.

They went away and came to Southampton's home stadium.

St. Mary's Stadium!

It is also an empty stadium, and the FIFA rule here is that fans cannot return to the stadium for the time being, and the players are left to fight alone.

"Hello!"

"Hello!"

The managers of the two teams, simply said hello.

Hasenhuttl, the 53-year-old Austrian manager, took over the team in the winter of 2018.

The results since taking office are not bad, facing the recent strong Manchester City, this game put on a 442 formation.

Goalkeeper: Alex McCarthy.

Defenders: Bertrand, Bednarek, Stephens, Walker Peters.

Midfielders: Raymond, Romeu, Ward Prowse, Stuart Armstrong.

Forwards: Che Adams, Danny Ings.

In this lineup, there are still many well-known stars, such as Adams, Ince, Prows and others, who have performed quite well this season!

Manchester City, 433

: goalkeeper:

Ederson.

Defenders: Zinchenko, Eric Garcia, Laporte, Cancelo.

Midfielders: David Silva, De Jong, Bernardo Silva.

Forwards: Raheem Sterling, Sergio Aguero, Chen Feng.

On the Manchester City side, after the successful tactical innovation of 4231, Guardiola unexpectedly gave up and still adopted the tactical lineup of 433.

Only, Kevin De Bruyne, De Ligt and Haaland were given the opportunity to rotate.

Sit on the bench.

David Silva, B seat, Chen Feng led the battle!

......

At the beginning of the game, the two teams were slow to get into shape, and in the 5th minute, Laporte made a mistake when he was clearing, and the right penalty area was empty!

Che Adams got the ball in front of the goal!

Raymond quickly cut forward, but couldn't react, and stopped the ball behind him!

The goal was cleared by Eric Garcia and the home team missed the opportunity!

Make a disease, make a disease!

The Spanish centre-back got sick again, and the boss scratched his head, somewhat regretting that he was included in the starting line-up....

Acker, De Ligt, Stones, and Otamendi on the bench were also quite speechless when they saw this scene, what Laporte!

Isn't he fragrant on us?

The game continued, and in the 7th minute, it was Southampton's attack, and Raymond tried to hit the goal from a long distance on the perimeter!

Bang -

smashed on the pillar and bounced out!

In the 16th minute, Manchester City made another mistake at the back, this time not against Laporte, but Zinchenko, who got the starting chance.

The young Ukrainian full-back handles the ball a little bigger.

The ball was cut off by Armstrong!

Calmly observed the situation, and after 2 seconds, quickly gave the ball out and gave it to the teammates who came to pick it up!

Adams, who won the ball, saw Ederson who was brave and Garcia and others who were returning to defense, and a smile was drawn at the corner of his mouth, Manchester City gave a gift, must be accepted!

Knock -

raise your right foot, try to hang!

The moment he got up, Ederson had a bad premonition in his heart and turned and ran towards the goal.

Before he could run, a black shadow fell in front of him.

Purr

...

The ball rolled into the net, Ederson sat helplessly on the ground, sighed deeply, what kind of teammates are this partner, why do you like to make illness so much?

Adams, who scored his first Premier League goal, jumped with joy.

Prows, Raymond, Armstrong and others rushed over and slapped the back of the young player's head with their palms, which was the praise of the seniors on the back!

Southampton defends dignity at home and temporarily leads Manchester City 1-0!

On the sidelines, Guardiola touched his nose and shook his head helplessly, during this time, Manchester City's defense has been unstable, first Laporte and Stones got sick!

Later, Cancelo and Zinchenko got sick again!

Even De Ligt Erstones is sometimes unstable!

That's why Garcia used a young centre-back, Garcia, in a less important game, and found that the young man was good, so he started consecutive games.

Played pretty well... Performed well in the last round, tied for 4th place with De Ligt with a rating of 8.0!

This time, he hoped that Garcia and Laporte could have a good chemistry, but it backfired.

Mistakes, after all, still appeared!

The commander returned to the bench, and the whole person was lost in thought, and no one knew what he was thinking.

......

Mistakes made on the defensive end, then make up for them on the offensive end.

Manchester City has strengthened their control and attacking power in the central midfield, everything is dominated by Chen Feng, he is like the second De Bruyne in the team!

Send fragrant flatbread, this is their specialty!

In the 22nd minute, Chen Feng instigated an attack and found the right back with a long pass!

After Cancelo put it on, he burst into the box, successfully dunked Bertrand one-on-one, and then pulled the ball vigorously to the back post!

"Good ball!"

Aguero smiled happily and stepped forward.

Bang -

mat shot in front of the door!

Still... Raising up, Manchester City missed out on an equaliser, by which time the slightly chubby Argentine goalscorer had lost the precision of last season!

The only good opportunity is wasted!

In the 27th minute, Chen Feng reorganized his attack and was looking for Cancelo on the right wing.

The Portugal international picks the ball to the right rib of Southampton, Raheem Sterling keeps knocking the ball down, still looking for Sergio Aguero!

The step is not right, one step slower!

Didn't outflank and didn't finish the shot!

One minute later, Chen Feng's instep pass from outside the edge of the box found Sterling in front, who burst into the box and his powerful volley was blocked by McCarthy.

McCarthy, who is at his peak, is really strong in this game, and Manchester City are slow to open the situation!

In the 30th minute, Manchester City played a stormy attack, first Chen Feng's long-range shot hit the post, and then the ball came to the right side, and the B cross!

Sergio Aguero grabs the goal!

McCarthy is brave to defuse!

In the end, the ball was picked up by De Jong from the outside, followed up by a long-range shot, and was single-handed by McCarthy to lift the crossbar!

Successive attacks failed to break through Southampton's gates.

The morale of the home team is getting higher!

On the other hand, the away team is depressed!

"Don't be discouraged!"

"Come again!"

Chen Feng, who controlled the ball, shouted loudly, mobilizing the emotions of his teammates, but found that there were very few people who took care of him.

There is an indescribable sense of loss.

"Come on!"

Finally, someone from afar responded, it was David Silva, who was already exhausted, and the old captain waved for the ball with a smiling face with great infectious ability.

Chen Feng smiled slightly, gave the ball to the past, and the war started again!

Manchester City vows to storm the city!
