(Both teams start)
Both sides started off aggressively with high presses, and both sides actually did a good job, with RicoLewis clearly much more solid in this match.

Many attempts to pressure him have been ineffective, overall.

The left flank of the team was forced back, and Son was still in a slump, while Perisic kept backing up in order to defend.

The left side of the team is not attacking, the right side of Emerson and Kulusecski are in good condition, both teams enter a situation where each team is playing on their own right side, but this alone is not enough to break the door, both defenses are very cautious
Before the end of the first half
Manchester City football club
A fatal error occurred when goalkeeper Ederson tried to pass straight to Rodri, who was coming back to receive the ball, but he failed to pass well enough for Rodri to catch the ball and was robbed by Bentangcur, and the ball bounced outside for Kulusevski to get to it and fire a shot from 14 yards out.

After some confusion, Kulusevski came from the right and passed the ball to HarryKane, who protected the ball with a shovel before rising to shoot from outside the box, Ederson was able to block but couldn't go far enough and Emerson, who was right in front of him, headed the ball into the goal.
The first half ended in a messy 0-2 defeat, and I thought that

No chance, but in the second half it was the turn of the
Tottenham Hotspur (city in Morocco)
In the 50th minute, Mahrez crossed the ball from the right side of the field, Gündo?an tried to hit the ball from the 6-yard line and missed, while Grealish also tried to hit the ball from the back of the field, but failed. Lloris tried to hit the ball out of play, but he miscalculated the timing of the shot and missed, resulting in the ball being on the penalty line.

It seemed to be starting to get a bit messy as Rodri picked up the ball out wide and lofted it inside, Mahrez caught up with a header in the air to Haaland at the far post for a header that broke through.

In the 63rd minute, Mahrez took an aerial pass from the right side of the field and made a nice stop to avoid Persic, who was coming up to break the ball, and then directly rushed into the right side of the box to shoot a powerful shot from about 11 yards, which went directly to the near corner of the net, but Lloris, who was supposed to block the shot, made a mistake again. It was a goalkeeper's job to block the shot, and Lloris' poor form resulted in two goals in a row.

Sun basically rarely broke with the ball throughout the game, and later kept going back to the defense, which could be considered invisible, along with Perisic's mediocre form, resulting in the

The entire left side could not attack smoothly and it was difficult to sustain the attack with just the duo of Kulusevski on the right and HarryKane up front.

Lots of substitutions later on, but even when Richarlison was sent on, it was difficult to create a full press as the left side was virtually useless, and the second half could be described as

Total control, and finally a goal kick by Ederson just before the end of the game.

Substitute center back Langlet failed to clear the ball allowing Mahrez to steal a chance on the sidelines and bite down on the penalty box to score.

After a terrible first half in which they were down by two goals, they came back to beat the
Tottenham Hotspur (city in Morocco)
Pep Guardiola's formation with Alvarez in the center does have a good effect, the key is still the pressure that can be given to the middle of the front, whether it can link the two wings of the attack, DeBruyne's current form is still not good, Gündo?an has a certain effect but is still not as good as DeBruyne's good form, and Alvarez has always been in good form after the World Cup, and he has been playing well. Due to the schedule

We'll have to go on the road soon.
