In the midst of everyone's anticipation, the match between Tottenham and Manchester City has finally begun.

"This is probably the most unique game. In this round, Manchester United fans will cheer for Manchester City and Tottenham fans will cheer for Arsenal fans. Whether or not Tottenham can win this round of games will determine the direction of the entire league, and this is the last game we have been waiting for. ”

Tottenham and Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal – this strange matchup has made two pairs of bitter rivals hope that their city rivals can win. If Arsenal win, Tottenham won't have to worry about being overturned in the last round – Manchester United's goal difference is so far worse that their comeback is only theoretical. And if Tottenham win, Arsenal won't have to worry about losing fourth place to Manchester City at the last minute, and they are also blessing Tottenham. Manchester City and Manchester United are the same, both of whom are hoping for a miracle, and it is also an interesting sight that four of the top four opponents in the league have appeared in such a situation at the bottom of the league.

"We can see that Tottenham's lineup is still not much different from the lineup in previous games, Cavani and Raul are still the starters in the attack, in the midfield, Reus replaced Di Maria, which is their only change, and in the backfield, they have not changed at all, or continue to maintain the same as before. For some time, Tottenham's squad has basically been like this, and after Suarez encountered some problems, it has been Raul who has been playing as a striker, and his excellent strength is also satisfactory. ”

Suarez's decision is already known. The charge of racial discrimination is not established, but it is still banned for four games, this punishment does not damage Suarez's personal image, but the ban is still the same, which can be regarded as an explanation for both parties. This is not the first time that such a penalty has been made, in 07, Weidenfeller of the Bundesliga scolded Amosaa, which is the way to deal with a fine of 10,000 for three games, and this time Suarez can be regarded as a precedent. However, as in Li Bin's memory, after Van Persie's throat was locked, Abidal did not chase penalties at all, which also tells people that although UEFA does play 50 boards each, they still have a certain degree of favoritism in their attitude towards black players.

There is no shortage of black athletes in the world who ignore the three points. Li Bin remembers that in the NBA, when LeBron was criticized by the media for making that famous 'decision', there would be black rights defenders who stood up and said that accusing him of discriminating against blacks for this matter, and now Abidal is really scolded, so it's no wonder that UEFA turned a blind eye and opened up to him.

In this regard, the media is very controversial, this way of awarding is really unreasonable, but it is a pity that UEFA never considers whether others think it is reasonable, and what they think is appropriate, that must be implemented.

Just because Suarez can't play doesn't mean Tottenham won't play. Raul's outstanding performance now is also a guarantee of victory for Tottenham.

For Manchester City, there were also changes to this one, with Joe Hart, Kolarov, Kolo Toure and Kompany, Barry and Flamini in midfield, Wright Phillips and Valbuena on the left and right, and Adebayor and Tevez up front. Manchester City have increasingly given up on expectations of Dimitar Berbatov and Robinho since the second half of the season, but happily, giving up these two is a big good thing for Manchester City's results. ”

In the second half of the season, due to the impact of the injury wave, Manchester City chose to start taking players who did not play hard enough and did not take seriously enough from the main list. Mancini knew who was the lazy man in his team, and he cleaned up the lazy man very well, so that his team became much stronger in a moment.

It is precisely because his team has become much stronger that Mancini, who watched his players from the sidelines, had a little expectation.

I usually can't beat Li Bin, but there should always be an accident, and on my side, the players are also in good shape.

Mancini was expecting the unexpected, because the unexpected was important to him. It is difficult to win the game between Arsenal and Chelsea, even Drogba, who is usually not in good shape, will inevitably score when he meets Arsenal, not to mention Drogba, who has now played the best season of his career? Arsenal will undoubtedly lose, as long as they can win this game, then Manchester City will really take the lead in the battle for the top four - he can't compare with Li Bin, he has been running for the championship for two years, and he has been running for the top four for two years.

Mancini has this idea because he has a sharper eye than others, and he can see that Tottenham have lost Suarez, although they can also abuse vegetables by relying on Raul, but their ability to break through the middle has decreased a lot. Raul is too old, and he can connect the two wings in tandem, but if he wants to rely on him to launch a surprise attack, he can't do it.

Tottenham's strength has been affected, and this is Manchester City's chance.

And the game went exactly as he expected, and from the start, Tottenham opted for a full-fledged attack. Manchester City are not particularly formidable opponents in their eyes, and Tottenham have been relentless in their attacks. Moreover, Tottenham also developed a special tactic for the characteristics of Manchester City - from the beginning of the game, Reuss on the right side cut inside to the middle to play as a striker, and Piszczek, who was originally in the back, plugged in all the way, and Tottenham relied on the back to convert to a back three, forcibly activating the attack in the front.

Mancini is clear, and Li Bin is also very clear, although Raul plays very well, but because of his age, he can no longer make frequent attacks in the middle, so he prepared Royce for Raul and let Reus rely on his impact to help Raul take the ball in the middle of the organization. He wants to force an offensive in the middle, relying on the numerical advantage, to forcibly eat Manchester City.

But that's exactly what Mancini wants: a desperate opponent with a flawed attacking end, which is Mancini's biggest flaw in Tottenham's eyes.

Soon, after a breakthrough from Tottenham, City found their chance. In one pass, Barry got the ball and he kicked it forward with a long pass!

"Before the season, people were saying that Barry did not choose Liverpool, which was the biggest source of Liverpool's decline and even demise this season. However, if Barry doesn't play well after reaching the bottom, it will really be a delay. ”

watched Barry kick a good shot, and the commentator was also expressing emotion. Before the season, because Barry and Gerrard had a good relationship, Benitez wanted to sell Alonso to buy Barry, but Barry went to Manchester City instead. At Manchester City, he was reduced to Motta's substitute, because Motta is a player who has won the Champions League, and he has to be trusted, he has not had a few chances in a season, and now, Motta is injured, he has a chance to play, and once he plays, it is such an important game.

Barry knew that he came on as a substitute for the injured Motta, and his task was to be a metronome in the middle, and if he didn't play well enough, it would directly affect the battle. He also knows that there is a lot of difference between his level and Alonso, and the best thing about his football is that his arrival rate is high enough to pass and receive the ball in time, and he is still far from the top players. However, he also believes very much that his passing can help his team!

And his one-kick pass really gave Manchester City a good chance. This pass with good penetration was directly taken by Adebayo in the front court. He immediately went into the box, wanting to do something. Opposite him, Palmeri stepped in and he stepped forward so much that Adebayor had to turn and give the ball to Tevez.

Tevez, who got the ball, immediately had a shot on goal. But Palmeri had already let go of Adebayo beside him at this time, and he suddenly made a tackle and flew out of Tevez's shot!

However, on the flank, Valbuena received the ball and ignored Tevez's beckoning to him, nor did he care about Adebayor, who was trying to link up in the middle. He knew that their playing characteristics were not enough to form a good cooperation, and instead of cooperating with them, it was better to try it yourself.

Just above the ribs of the penalty area, Valbuena immediately shot the ball out of the box! This long-range lob shot made Neuer unable to react, and the ball flew directly over his head and fell into the net!

“gooooal！！ Valbuena!! The Knife scored for Manchester City! Quite a beautiful goal, Manchester City took the lead in the game to break the net! Roberto Mancini has once again proved that his decision to reuse Valbuena has led to a lot of improvement in the team's results, and whether he can perform well or not will also determine City's results in a match. ”

The moment he saw the goal, Mancini also happily ran around on the sidelines. He knew that this goal meant that he had quite the initiative in this game.

Moreover, he is even happier that this is a goal scored against Li Bin's team - in the past, people talked about him, almost said that he was a stepping stone for Li Bin, but now, he has taken the lead against Li Bin in a key game!

Looking at Valbuena on the pitch, Mancini was also very emotional: before the season, he snatched Valbuena from Tottenham, but because he was too short, he was not very willing to use it. It wasn't until the halfway point of the season, when serious injuries were on the rise, that he was put to good use and he immediately returned the favor to Manchester City. This is a really good leader, a player who can pull the attack, even if he is not in the position of the shadow striker he is best at, he can still play very well, look at his performance, and then look at the player he bought at a high price, Mancini sometimes sighs: Is his vision so bad?

Moreover, what made him sigh even more was that he poached Valbuena, and Tottenham actually brought in Raul. These two players, one is higher than the other, and against such a person, their own team is really unlucky.

However, after a long period of bad luck, there are always exceptions. In this game, no matter how you look at it, you are more sure - and Mancini did not hesitate, and immediately after the team took the lead, he immediately ordered his players to start retreating, and organized a defensive line in his own backfield to do the most defensive back.

A few days ago, Tottenham could rely on defensive counterattacks to deal with Barcelona, so why can't Manchester City deal with Tottenham like this? Now that you have the advantage in hand, you can win the game if you stick to it in the backcourt! And, even if you lose a ball, what's the big deal? In the event of a draw, each point is scored, Manchester City tied with Arsenal, relying on goal difference to gain the advantage, and Tottenham Hotspur maintained a one-point lead until the end, isn't it also good?

'Tottenham gave Barcelona a difficult time in the previous game, and now it's their turn to face it. It's just that I don't know if Tottenham has a way to face this dilemma? ”

On the sidelines of the court, Li Bin was also a little surprised to lose the ball, but no matter how unexpected he was, it didn't mean that he had no choice, he walked to the sidelines and shouted loudly at the court, "Edinson!" Kick it well! You know what you have to do! ”

Okay, you're ahead, this one is unexpected, but, a miracle has come, can you hold it?
