While Manchester City narrowly beat Celtic away, Barcelona also won another game in the same group of the Champions League.

They also struggled away at Borussia Mönchengladbach in Germany, coming back from behind to win 2-1 after conceding a goal.

I have to say that Manchester City and Barcelona are actually somewhat similar.

The first round was a slaughtering home win, but the second round was unexpectedly difficult to play away.

It seems to be a bit of a home dragon and an away bug.

The next two teams will play each other for two rounds in a row, and it will be up to them to see who wins and who loses.

In the other group games, the other three teams in the Premier League have all won without a hitch.

Arsenal beat Basel 2-0 at home, Leicester City beat Porto 1-0 at home and Tottenham beat CSKA Moscow 1-0 away.

It was Son Heung-min who scored the winning goal for Tottenham, and the kid has been in really good form lately.

The South Korean media are overjoyed, and they are already threatening to "teach a lesson" to Zhang Chaoqiang.

In the upcoming Premier League, Manchester City will go to Tottenham Hotspur away.

Tottenham have home advantage, Son Heung-min is in good form again, and City have injured the heart of the midfield, Kevin De Bruyne.

Therefore, the South Korean media believe that Tottenham will definitely be able to win Manchester City at White Hart Lane.

"Honey, you're back?"

After returning to his residence after daily training, Zhang Chaoqiang found that Anne had returned.

Two weeks ago, Zhang Chaoqiang's parents returned to China, and Anne also sent Juyi back to France, and by the way, she lived in Lyon for a while.

Only back now.

"Hmm." Anne sat on a chair in the garden and replied as she looked down at her book, "It's been a nice day, and Ahri has been running around. ”

The weather in England is much worse than in France, and today is one of the few sunny days, and Ahri is probably also cat-like and scurrying around in the garden.

"It's a really nice day, and it's the right time to do something. Kiss and hug. Zhang Chaoqiang sat next to Anne, hugged him intimately and said.

"Do what?" Anne obviously asked knowingly.

The two haven't seen each other for half a month, what else can they do?

"Let me think about it, let's do something to drill wood for fire and burn lives." Zhang Chaoqiang thought about it and said.

"Don't be so discouraged, the weather is just right today, isn't it good for us to sit and bask in the sun?" Anne blushed a little.

"What's so good about basking in the sun, I've been on the training ground for a morning......"

Zhang Chaoqiang moved quickly, and soon carried the panting Anne back to the bedroom.

On October 2, in the 7th round of the English Premier League, the whole Manchester City team came to the White Hart Lane Stadium in London to challenge Tottenham Hotspur away.

"Since the start of the new season, Manchester City have been strong and on a winning streak, winning 11 games in a row in all competitions, including six in the Premier League, four in the Champions League and one in the EFL Cup."

"But in the last Champions League away game against Celtic, they hurt De Bruyne, which is a big concern."

'Tottenham have also been in good form of late, winning all of their games in September, with South Korean Son being the Premier League favourites for September.

"But the injury of Tottenham star Harry Kane is also a concern."

There is no doubt that the matchup between Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur is the highlight of this round of Premier League action.

It's not just a battle between the top and second places in the standings, it's also a long-hyped Asian derby.

Zhang Chaoqiang and Son Xingmin, the top two players in Asia, clash directly, and there is indeed a certain topicality.

And in their respective teams, both of them are thigh-level performances.

Zhang Chaoqiang has been in the thigh since joining Manchester City, and Son Heung-min has been suddenly promoted to Tottenham Hotspur in the last month.

In addition, the English media also said that this away game against Tottenham Hotspur is the first big test for Manchester City.

Manchester City had won 11 in a row, and none of them had won against strong opponents, including Manchester United, who beat them in the Manchester derby.

Manchester United, despite their reputation, have been rebuilding in recent years and are not very strong at all.

On the contrary, Tottenham has been trained by Pochettino for three consecutive years, and has become quite effective.

In the Premier League competition last season, Tottenham was even expected to win the title, but the lack of strength in the back did not withstand it.

Manchester City can only really win a tough battle if they beat each other.

With important players injured on both teams, there were changes to their starting formations.

Manchester City were still 433, but Pep Guardiola started Brazilian midfielder Fernando in place of Kevin De Bruyne.

Tottenham are also their long-term stable 4231 formation, Kane is injured, Pochettino has deployed Son Heung-min as a forward lone arrow.

Probably because the Koreans have been really good lately. Gu Tai

Before the start of the game, the two sides routinely shake hands before the game.

This is the first time Zhang Chaoqiang has met Sun Xingmin.

"Hello, Sun."

"It's a pleasure to play with you."

The two have been admiring each other for a long time, and they smiled at each other and gave each other a cordial hug.

Zhang Chaoqiang took the opportunity to launch a stealing day.

[You launched a stealing day against Sun Xingmin, reaction +1]

After adding this attribute, Zhang Chaoqiang's average attribute value has reached 85 points.

You can unlock Superstar Skill Awareness, but you'll have to wait until the evening.

The game officially began, and Tottenham showed great pertinence from the start.

Full-court pressing, high pressing, very tough defense and extremely resolute and quick counter-attacks.

Under Pochettino's tutelage, the current Tottenham team is playing a bit like Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool, full of impact.

Even without leading goalscorer Harry Kane, they still make it difficult for Manchester City.

Every time they go back and forth, the City players have to be careful not to get tackled.

Especially in the midfield position, Sissoko and Wanyama are two black and hard midfielders, and there is also Lamela as a-stirring stick.

In the first 20 minutes, Manchester City had a small advantage in possession, but most of it was ineffective possession at the back, and every time the pass passed through the midfield, it was necessary to go through a thousand dangers.

In such a situation, it is difficult for Zhang Chaoqiang to find a chance to perform.

In De Bruyne's absence, City's midfield possession has indeed dropped significantly.

Playing a weak team may not be so obvious, but playing a strong team is easy to target.

At least in this game, Pochettino did a pretty good job, basically limiting City's attack in the opening period.

Fortunately, defensively, Manchester City have maintained the level they deserve.

As soon as the ball is conceded, it is immediately counter-attacked or interfered with, and the forward line is the first line of defense to prevent the opponent from counterattacking, plus there is also a line of defense in the midfield.

With the blessing of two lines of defence, Manchester City's back line will be much less pressed.

Otherwise, the ball-possession tactics have been pressed very high for a long time, and others counterattack one by one.

As a result, the two sides played fiercely, but there were not many real scoring opportunities.

What I didn't expect was that the scoring opportunity that Tottenham couldn't find, Manchester City found it by itself.

In the 23rd minute, Tottenham attacked from the left and Danny Rose sent in a wide cross when there was no good chance.

The cross was of modest quality and was controlled by Manchester City left-back Kolarov, who was devoid of any Tottenham players in the two metres below.

After all, the opponent just hit a random cross in the style of big luck, and he didn't expect it to work.

So Kolarov just handle the ball.

If you want stability, you can clear the siege directly, and if you are confident, stop the ball and transfer it to your teammates, so that the team can organize a quick attack.

Kolarov's footwork is very good, and he naturally lifts his foot steadily to stop the ball.

Zhang Chaoqiang, Aguero and others are ready to run forward and look for offensive opportunities.

Surprisingly, Kolarov made a mistake in stopping the ball.

He lifted his right foot to unload the ball, and actually unloaded the football onto the instep of his left foot.

On top of that, the ball bounced off the instep of his left foot and rolled straight into the bottom right corner of the goal.

Bravo was also ill-prepared for this unexpected situation, and there was no time to stop it.

So the football rolled all the way into the Manchester City goal.

The Tottenham fans who had been cheering loudly after the opening kick-off were stunned, what was going on?

After a moment of silence, they quickly let out a frantic cheer.

"The ball is in!! Manchester City's own own own, it was unexpected!! ”

"In the opening period, both teams were actively pressing for the ball on the pitch and looked like they had no time to attack the goal."

'What I didn't expect was that Tottenham forced City into an own goal with a very casual cross from the wing, which was a completely unexpected goal.

"In the last Champions League game against Celtic, Sterling had an own goal, but I didn't expect this time against Tottenham, Kolarov did the same thing."

'Manchester City seem to have been out of luck lately, with two own-goals in a row in a week.

Seeing Manchester City make a low-level mistake in the Asian derby and suffer an own goal, the domestic commentators are simply regrettable.
