The goalkeeper is very important in this system, and when the defenders are pressed by the opponent, he also acts as a point of contact and receiving to reduce the pressure on the defenders.

When his teammates press the attack, he has to move forward, keep the team's three lines reasonably spaced, and act as a half sweeper.

And the new goalkeeper Ederson, who was bought in the summer window, is the goalkeeper who best fits this positioning.

So, in the fourth round of the league, in the focus of the home game against Liverpool, Guardiola gave up the team's meritorious goalkeeper Keylor Navas and boldly used the newcomer Ederson.

And Ederson's performance did not live up to the manager's expectations of him.

Manchester City played a frighteningly dominant game as they beat Liverpool at both ends of the pitch!

In the 23rd minute of the first half, De Bruyne sent a lethal through ball, and Aguero instantly activated the right side of the penalty area and fired a volley through the opponent's goal.

In the 37th minute, Lin Quan took the ball to form a breakthrough on the side, and Liverpool's left winger Mane, who was defending him, made a back-tackle in a hurry, and was directly sent off by the referee with a red card.

Then Lin Quan's free kick hoisted the ball into the penalty area, Van Dijk pressed the opponent's defender to fight for the first drop point, and a beautiful header attack expanded the score to 2:0!

In the first half of injury time, De Bruyne and Lin Quan played a very tacit cooperation, De Bruyne caught the gap in the opponent's defense for a moment, and did not hesitate to send a straight kick.

After Lin Quan captured the opportunity, his first reaction was to find this vacancy, and he didn't look back at his teammates with the ball during the whole process, as if he firmly believed that as long as he ran in place, his teammates' passes would come to his feet.

In fact, Liverpool's defenders were unprepared for the ball, Lin Quan started very suddenly, and De Bruyne passed even more suddenly.

By the time they sensed something was wrong and wanted to destroy it, it was too late.

Lin Quan did not waste the opportunity created by De Bruyne and scored with ease, extending the score to 3:0.

On the sidelines, Liverpool's manager Jurgen Klopp couldn't sit still at all.

The opponent scored 3 goals in the half, although there was an unfavorable factor of unexpected red cards, but the team's defense today was completely blown up by the opponent, which is a fact that cannot be denied.

At the start of the second half, Jurgen Klopp made three substitutions in one go in an attempt to strengthen the defence.

But in terms of actual results, it does not seem to be ideal.

In the 73rd minute, Lin Quan pulled the side and played a two-on-one match with Sane, who cut into the penalty area and hit the goal from a small angle, rewriting the score to 4:0!

Five minutes later, on the right side, David Silva and Lin Quan completed a similar combination, Lin Quan dribbled into the penalty area to attract the opponent's attention at the same time, an inverted triangle back pass sent the ball to the middle, and the follow-up De Bruyne volleyed to expand the score to 5:0!

And that's not all!

In the 88th minute, substitute Mbappe took advantage of a counterattack opportunity to perform a solo performance on the side!

Seconds later, the crowd erupted in applause and cheers, and amid the cheers of the home fans, Liverpool goalkeeper Mignolet made a frustrated sixth attempt to catch the ball from inside the woodwork.

It's outrageous, he's been at Liverpool for three or four years and he's never had the experience of being scored six goals in a game.

Today's game was a nightmare for him and for Liverpool as a whole.

In the end, with the goals of many players in the team, Manchester City defeated Liverpool 6-0 at home, announcing their strong return with a victory!

The results of this game quickly spread all over the Internet at a viral speed after the game.

Countless fans couldn't help but doubt their eyes when they saw this exaggerated score:

Could it be that the name of the team is mistaken, is it really Liverpool?

How could Liverpool lose so much?

However, when they clicked on the corresponding link and watched the goal highlights of the game, they were all dumbfounded.

It's really Liverpool who was tortured and killed by Manchester City!

This is Liverpool! The top giants with the deepest background in the Premier League!

They were able to play back and forth with Manchester City last season, winning and losing each other, why were they abused like this season?

Is Liverpool regressing, or is Manchester City getting stronger again?

Seeing their arch-rivals Liverpool lose, the Red Devils fans were overjoyed.

Especially Liverpool was kicked 6:0, such a shame is enough for them to laugh at Liverpool fans for a lifetime.

However, the Red Devils fans were happy for a day.

The next day, when United were held to a draw away at Stoke City, they couldn't laugh.

shit！！

What the hell, how can a team like Stoke City end my devil's three-game winning streak?

Manchester United's draw turned their good fortune around in one fell swoop.

Manchester City came from behind with this big win, and with a goal difference, they beat Manchester United to the top of the Premier League.

Manchester United fans are depressed to death, with three wins and one draw accumulating 10 points and 10 goal difference, this kind of start is definitely not bad in the history of Manchester United.

As a result, he was still surpassed by his opponent, where can he reason about this!

And what makes Manchester United fans even more desperate is that once Manchester City sits on the top of the table, it is as stable as a mountain and does not come down at all.

In the fifth round of the league, Manchester City slaughtered the opponent 6:0 again away from home!

Although Manchester United also beat their younger brother Everton 4-0, they were unable to close the gap between the two teams, and even the goal difference between the two teams is still widening.

What's even more desperate is that in the sixth round, Manchester City won again, and it was a big win.

They beat Crystal Palace 5-0 at home and won three in a row!

Although Manchester United also won this round, they could only barely keep up with Manchester City in points, but the goal difference between the two teams has widened to 7 goals!

In the first 6 rounds, Manchester City scored a total of 23 goals, an average of nearly 4 goals per game, which is terrifying!

Pep Guardiola's new tactics for Manchester City have had very good results.

Whether it is an ordinary team in the middle and lower reaches of the league or a giant team at the top of the league, they can't stop their attack.

Manchester City's attack is as simple as eating and drinking, and everyone can score, which can be described as unstoppable!

And Manchester City are not alone in the league, as they beat Feyenoord 4-0 in the Champions League group stage, followed by two 3-0 victories over Shakhtar Donesque and Napoli.

In the fourth round of the group stage, in the away game against Napoli, Manchester City started behind by 2 goals, but scored four goals in the following 60 minutes, and finally reversed Napoli 4:2, won four consecutive victories, and locked the first place in the group two rounds in advance.

All of a sudden, Manchester City's terrifying offensive firepower shocked the entire football world.

The managers of countless giants racked their brains and pondered to find a way to contain Manchester City's attack.

No one wants to meet this Manchester City team on the pitch and be bloodied by them.

After all, the giant team still wants to save face, and the loss is too bad, and the face is really unbearable, just like Liverpool who lost to Manchester City, and has been ridiculed by Manchester United fans for six or six good times during this time......

Unlike in the past, while Manchester City are on the cusp of the league and Champions League, the rest of the Premier League is not left behind.

Manchester United won the Europa League last season, so the number of Champions League places in the Premier League has increased to five this season.

If it weren't for Manchester City's brilliant performance, then with Manchester United's performance in Group A, they would be proud to boast.

After the first four rounds of the group stage, Manchester United also won four consecutive victories, including a 3:0 victory over Basel, a 4:1 bloodbath against CSKA Moscow, and a back-to-back double defeat of the Portuguese Super League giants Benfica, so that Manchester United also locked the first place in the group two rounds in advance.

This time, Jose Mourinho's side finally don't have to worry about a happy rollover.

Compared to the excellent performances of the Manchester City duo, the reigning champions of the Premier League, Chelsea, have performed a little worse.

However, it also had to do with the group they were in, with Chelsea being drawn to the Group of Death.

There are two strong opponents in the same group: Atletico Madrid and Roma!

Needless to say, Atletico Madrid has been a regular in the Champions League knockout rounds and even the semi-finals in recent years, and has also reached the Champions League final, and their strength should not be underestimated.

Roma are second in Serie A, having fought Juventus for the title last season until the final rounds.

In the face of such two strong opponents, Chelsea handed over a good answer.

In the first round, they beat bottom Qarabag 6-0 and in the second round they beat Atletico Madrid 2-1 away to get three valuable points.

In the third round, they failed to grasp the opportunity at home, and were reversed by their opponents with a two-goal lead, and finally relied on Hazard's savior to barely draw with Roma.

In the first three rounds alone, Chelsea won two and drew one, which is not bad.

However, Chelsea's 3-0 defeat at home to Roma in the fourth round made their qualification situation a little precarious.

But just when the Chelsea people were worried, Atletico pulled their crotches wide.

They have been held to a draw by Qarabag in both home and away games.

The opponents even drew with Atletico Madrid after being sent off in both games, which shocked the outside world and made Chelsea's qualification situation improve all of a sudden.

Although it may not be possible to win the first place in the group over Roma, it should not be a problem to qualify for the second place in the group.

If Chelsea are going high and going low, then the Reds and Liverpool are going low and high.

They were beaten by Sevilla in the first round, with Roberto Firmino even missing a penalty and full-back Gomes receiving a late red card.

Liverpool's form still doesn't seem to be improving in the second round, with a 1-1 draw away to Spartak Moscow.

Only two points were obtained in the first two rounds, which made Liverpool's qualification situation very difficult.

They seem to have been affected by the heavy defeat to Manchester City, with morale and form in the squad slumping.

Fortunately, under Klopp's adjustment, Liverpool has finally woken up.

In the third round, Liverpool defeated Slovenian team Maribor 7-0 away, and then beat the opponent 3-0 after returning home.

While Liverpool won 6 points, on the other side, Sparta Moscow and Sevilla fought a lose-lose battle.

Spartak Moscow, playing at home, beat Sevilla 5:1 and lost 1:2 away from home.

The result of three points on each side cheapened Liverpool, allowing Liverpool to temporarily top the group with 8 points.

With Liverpool's remaining two games going head-to-head against their group winners, they can secure a place through as long as they win one of those two games.

Compared with Liverpool, the 'new army' of the Champions League, Tottenham, who has reached the Champions League for two consecutive years, has performed a bit impressively in the Champions League this season.

Like Chelsea, Tottenham were drawn to the Group of Death.

Even their group is a bit more dead, because the opponents in the group include last season's defending champion Real Madrid and Bundesliga runner-up Borussia Dortmund, and even the Greeks who accompany the prince to study are far from the level of fish belly.

However, the new season has introduced Son Heung-min's Tottenham, and the firepower of the forward line has been qualitatively improved compared with the previous season.

In the face of so many strong opponents, they were not afraid and won 3-1 at home to Dortmund in the first round to get off to a good start.

Tottenham then beat Atletico Greece 3-0 away to win two in a row.

In the third round, Tottenham, who went to the Bernabeu as a guest, stubbornly drew 1:1 with Real Madrid with the own goal sent by the opponent.

In the fourth round, Tottenham, who returned to their home stadium, even made a big splash, defeating the defending champion Real Madrid 3:1, causing a big upset.

For a time, the attacking combination of Eriksen, Harry Kane and Son Heung-min became famous and famous in Europe.

Seeing the team's record in the new season so good, Tottenham Chairman Levy couldn't stop smiling!

Son Heung-min's reinforcement is really good, not only enriching Tottenham's offensive means, but also greatly liberating Harry Kane and reducing the pressure on him.

What makes him even more satisfied is that he introduced Son Xingmin from Manchester City, not only did he not spend money, but he also made millions of euros!

It's me, this business is done at a level!

After the defeat to Tottenham, it is said that Real Madrid has already had thoughts about Tottenham's main striker Kane, and it seems that they want to bring him to the Bernabeu to play for Real Madrid.

As soon as Levi heard the news, he immediately became excited.

Kane is not for sale for the team, of course it can't be sold, if Real Madrid really wants to buy it, it's not impossible, but you have to add money!

With the current market situation, don't think about it without 100 million euros, in Levy's opinion, Kane is worth more than Bale, after all, this is a star cultivated by his own academy, he really has feelings, and it is not good to sell the team's image in order to make money, and the fans will definitely scold him at that time.

The price threshold set by Levy for Kane is so high, as long as Ronaldo does not leave, Real Madrid will probably not be able to take out so much money for a while, so this transfer will definitely not be successful in the short term.

Regardless of whether Kane goes to Real Madrid or not, the full rise of the Premier League this season is already a sure thing.

This can be seen not only from the performance of Premier League teams in the Champions League, but also from the improvement of the competitive level of the league! (End of chapter)
