In the first 20 minutes, Manchester City was in slightly better condition, with one or two good chances, Tottenham did not play well, and Bale was relatively quiet.

This season's position is very different from before, Boas in order to liberate Bale's combat effectiveness, generally put Bale in the forward position, I have to say that this is really a good note, Bale's freedom is greater, since the start of this season, Bale has scored 6 goals for Tottenham, is surpassing the future superstar on the road to development.

More than 20 minutes later, Tottenham unleashed a wave of attacking surges, and Bale began to go berserk, with several in-cut and team-mates attacking from the cross to the point of being more threatening.

In fact, the problem that Boas's attack is not very smooth in this game is also here, Bale has been accustomed to facing the opponent's goal in the forward position, and the forward line actually only needs to send him a center forward to respond, Adebayo is enough, but Boas in this game is a double center forward tactic, which requires constant crosses from both wings, Bale is no longer very happy to cross, and the double center forward tactics are easy to fail.

In the 28th minute, Bale relied on his individual ability, cut inside and then shot, and the full moon scimitar of his left foot left Joe Hart helpless, and Manchester City fell behind at home for the first time in the league.

Barry looked very embarrassed when he cut in Berneche, he couldn't keep up with Bale's speed at all, he was much more mature in handling the ball on the court than Dembele and Wanyama, and his positional sense was also good, the problem was that his reflexes had dropped a lot, even if he stood in position, Bale could easily tear him apart with his own speed.

Bale's shot was also a bit of luck, with the ball running through a brilliant line and not much of a gap in City's defence.

Wen Sheng was helpless in the face of conceding the goal, but fortunately his depression did not last long, in the 32nd minute, De Bruyne on Manchester City's side also stood up, he received Dzeko's pitch ferry, shook off Sandro into the penalty area before the cross, Aguero followed up to grab the point, Lloris also failed to defend the door of Tottenham.

The two sides reverted to a draw, after which the game fell silent again, with both sides putting a lot of effort into defending, creating a serious lack of chances, and the half-time ended without any pain.

At half-time, Dzeko's ankle was swollen, and when he was entangled with the Tottenham defender in the first half, he was stepped on by Gallas, and Wen Sheng simply replaced Drogko with veteran Drogba for safety.

Dzeko's role in the first half is still relatively good, it can be seen that his understanding of his position is getting deeper and deeper, the only thing that makes Wen Shenghuo big is that this guy's state is really unclear, sometimes he is in good shape, sometimes he is speechless, in the last game against Ajax, his success rate in the first half of the duel was very pitiful, Aldveld completely limited him, and it only improved in the second half.

Back on the pitch, Wensheng's substitution brought him good luck, and in the 51st minute, Drogba received a direct pass from Nasri and passed the ball to Aguero, who forced a shot in the box, the ball hit Gallas's arm and bounced to Drogba's side, and the veteran volleyed the ball into the Tottenham goal.

Wen Sheng couldn't help jumping up on the sidelines, deeply feeling that Drogba was really his own blessing, the last time Drogba was on the field to change the team's situation, this game is this veteran again, I think he and Drogba had a "feud" back then, and now the two are actually working together.

Villas-Boas was quite speechless on the sidelines, Manchester City's goal was just lucky, Aguero had no space to shoot at all, and he didn't know what the Argentine striker thought, three Tottenham players chose to shoot when they got in the way, it was pure luck, unfortunately he had good luck.

Sergio Aguero was also interesting, and the motive for the shot made Wen Sheng suspicious when he came back to his senses.

When the ball hit Gallas's arm, Aguero's first reaction was to raise his hand and report loudly to referee Oliver that the ball had hit Gallas's arm, and then Drogba sent the ball into the Tottenham goal, and Aguero's complaint turned into celebration, and it was hard not to suspect that this guy clearly intended to kick the ball into Gallas's arm.

The second half started well, Wensheng adjusted the team's strategy and began to recuperate, he asked De Bruyne to reclaim his position and change the formation to 433.

Villas-Boas was also quick to react, replacing Dempsey with Defoe and the team changed to 4231.

Tottenham, who have returned to their normal tracks, are starting to threaten Hotspur, and Manchester City's form is really not good, and even Van Dijk, who doesn't often make mistakes, almost made an own goal on one occasion.

In order to score goals, Tottenham also adopted a strategy of pressing high, I have to say that Adebayo is really a natural anti-bone boy, often very energetic when playing his old club, he does not play well when he is a double center forward, and when he is a single striker, this guy's range of activities has increased a lot, and his running is very active, which has brought a lot of trouble to Manchester City.

Unfortunately, Tottenham's biggest problem is their fitness, they have played a total of four games in the last eleven days, and by the more than 70 minutes of the game, they have been a little weak under the slow pace of Manchester City, and Adebayor's running ability is also declining.

At the end of the 90 minutes, City got the job done, defending the Etihad Stadium without letting Tottenham take away a single point.

"Injuries, the impact of the schedule, we didn't play very well in this game! I'm very happy to win this race! Wen Sheng also admitted in the post-match interview that his own team did not perform better than Tottenham in this game.

"We play almost 50 games a season and this is done in just 10 months, which is a huge test for any team! But if we want to win the championship, we have to have this mental preparation, sometimes it may not be very good, but everyone needs to work hard for the victory and try to do a little bit more! ”

"Gareth is a good player, he hasn't had many chances this season because the team is very competitive, there are only a maximum of thirteen players per game, I regret that he didn't get too much time, but in my heart I never left him out of the team, we only have 11 players per game, but our first team is made up of more than 20 players, everyone is part of it!" ”

"I've always been sure that everyone can contribute to the team, like today! Gareth did a great job! It's worth learning from other players! ”

"Didier's goal didn't surprise me, he's still as strong as a young man in his early twenties, maybe this old guy can fight until he is fifty!"

Drogba reminded reporters of another veteran--- Klose.

Klose also played well under Wen Sheng, and reporters took the opportunity to ask Wen Sheng if he had any cheats for using veterans.

Wen Sheng immediately gave the top hat to Drogba and Klose.

"Actually, it's not my credit! It's their own credit, they're all warriors with a fighting spirit, they're challenging themselves! With such a determined veteran, all I need to do is give trust! ”

Wen Sheng didn't know what Klose thought about this sycophant operation, anyway, Drogba was very happy and happy.
