Before the game, almost all the media were discussing that this game is a battle between Li Feng and Modric, which is the battle for the best midfielder in the Premier League this season.
There is no doubt that at present, the best midfielders in the Premier League are Li Feng and Modric. Even in the whole of Europe, the best midfielders of the younger generation are Li Feng and Modric. This is not an exaggeration.
Although Li Feng is three years younger than Modric, he has already proven himself. He is currently the best midfielder in Europe, and even one of the best players.
And Modric has stepped into the eyes of many European giants step by step by virtue of his performance in the past few years, becoming the most watched midfielder since Li Feng. Last summer, Chelsea paid 4000 million pounds after failing to chase Li Feng. But even with this price, Tottenham are still unwilling to sell.
Half a season has passed, and Modric's value has not decreased in the slightest, and it has even increased by 1000 million compared to half a year, which has reached 5000 million pounds.
This game is indeed as predicted by the media. This is a war between the two midfielders. Therefore, in the first 10 minutes of the game, De Jong's focus is on the midfielder, and the two teams are wrestling in the middle.
Li Feng is not the same as the general midfielder. Li Feng's organization is full of aggressiveness. Of course, he himself is full of attacking lines, but Li Feng is not without weaknesses. In fact, Li Feng still lacks a grasp of rhythm.
At present, in world football, there are only two midfield masters in the true sense, that is Xavi and Pirlo, and the control of the rhythm of the game by the two has reached the point of perfection.
Under the two is Harvey Alonso. From Liverpool's performance after losing Alonso, it can be seen that Alonso's importance to Liverpool, Li Feng can only be ranked in the third tier at most, but this third tier is not low. This is in the entire world of football. For now, there are only a few people who can enter the third tier.
After 10 minutes of mutual testing, Manchester City took the lead in launching a strong attack. The organizer of the attack was naturally Li Feng.
Tottenham's reaction was not unreasonable. Walker and Kabul immediately came to double-team, and Silva stepped back obliquely. It turned out that Li Feng had already conflicted with Parker and Modric's encirclement.
In the transition, Li Feng is only used as a transition of the ball. On the right side, Manchester City's real deadly attack comes from the right side, from Aguero.
With the left foot in one gear, after controlling the ball and pushing with the right foot, Aguero moved two steps to the left to widen the distance from the defender, and then volleyed directly.
Although Friedel is 40 years old, his reaction speed is completely unbelievable. The old guy in front of him is already 40 years old. With a lunge, the ball was blocked by Friedel from the baseline with one hand.
"It's unbelievable. From this save, it can't be seen that Friedel is 40 years old. It's no wonder that he can put Gomez, who is ten years younger than himself, on the bench." Seeing Friedel save, the commentator couldn't help applauding.
In terms of defense against high balls, Tottenham's performance has always been very good. This time the corner kick did not give Manchester City a chance at all. Kabul entangled Dzeko and Ledley King made a header.
Tottenham counterattacked and the ball came to Modric's feet. The Tottenham midfielder was not in a hurry to attack, but after Tottenham's offensive players entered the Manchester City half, Modric controlled the ball and crossed the center line.
Li Feng went up to meet him. At the beginning of the season, the two had fought once, so Modric knew exactly how good Li Feng was and how strong his body was.
Ball control, 180-degree turn, Marseille maneuver?Of course not, although Modric would like to break through Li Feng with a Marseille maneuver, but now is not the time.
The reason why he turned around to block Li Feng's impact, and felt the huge force coming from behind him, Modric shouted in his heart that Li Feng was abnormal.
However, in the face of Li Feng's impact, Modric still firmly controlled the ball at his feet, and he was waiting for his teammates to rush up to meet him.
Unexpectedly on the right, Tottenham's offensive is organized by the center, but the real responsibility for destroying the city is on the left. Bale has become the dominant player on the left, and Tottenham's center-left cooperation can be described as unfavorable.
Walker was very fast, Clichy was unprepared and was passed directly by him. Clichy has always been known for his speed, but at this moment in front of Walker, Clichy's speed did not take advantage.
A low pass, a low-altitude ball, this is Tottenham's tactics in this game. Hitting the ground, Tottenham are very clear about what Defoe is for.
Walker passed the ball quite well. The ball passed Barry and Minaur who had returned to the penalty area and rushed into the small penalty area of Manchester City. Defoe, who was short in stature, rushed out between Lescott and Savage like a monkey.
But Defoe didn't touch the ball. The ball flew out and unfortunately hit Lescott's thigh, then bounced high and finally flew out of the baseline.
Corner kick, tactical corner kick, Modric passed the ball to Lennon, who crossed the penalty area and was blocked by Clichy, and finally passed diagonally to Parker outside the border, who directly kicked a long shot over.
Speaking of it, Parker is also a tragic figure. Living in the shadow of double virtues, this quite capable England midfielder has never been able to gain a firm foothold in the national team.
From each other's respective attacks, it can be seen that Li Feng and Modric are actually on par in terms of organizational strength. Li Feng's real advantage over Modric lies in his bug-like talent.Li Feng himself is very aware of this, but outsiders don't know it.
No.15 minutes, the ball returned to Manchester City, it was still Li Feng and Modric, but this time Li Feng did not pass the ball, but directly attacked Modric with the ball.
Modric has never been lazy in defense. Whether he is defensive or not is one aspect, but at the very least, he must have a correct attitude. Don't underestimate this. Many players are short and improper, and they are eventually abandoned by the head coach.
Although Li Feng broke through, Modric is not a person who gives up lightly, otherwise he would not be able to become one of the most popular midfielders in world football.
Moreover, Modric knew very well that he was not alone, there were teammates behind him, attacking back and forth, Parker blocked Li Feng's way, and Modric caught up from behind.
Of course Li Feng would not just sit still, he made a diagonal pass, Aguero moved across from the wing to meet him, Dzeko pulled out from the penalty area, the two collided into the wall and cooperated, tearing apart Tottenham's defense, and Aguero successfully broke into the penalty area.
Friedel, the old guy abandoned the goal, and finally proved what it means to be old and strong. Facing Aguero, Friedel looked unusually calm, blocking the ball from the baseline with his legs.
