Today is Wednesday, not far from the weekend. The second round of the Premier League in the 25-26 season is ready to start again. The exciting Premier League, passionate confrontations, and strong dialogues are always so eye-catching. What I pay special attention to in this round is Manchester City vs Tottenham Hotspur, which started at 19:30 on August 23. Both teams achieved big wins in the first round. The top two in the Premier League were in the final match. Whoever could laugh to the end would continue to lock in the top spot. Whoever wins to the death, everything is in the analysis. Let's take a look.

Let's first look at Manchester City, who played at home, won the Wolves 4 goals away from home in the first round, which attracted a lot of attention and was also full of hot topics. The sound of praise also burst out like mushrooms after a rain. The words of what champion is the most powerful contender, what return to the top of the Premier League, etc. are also used on Manchester City. The halo of the top of the list is very dazzling, and the words of playing sticks are blooming everywhere, but Manchester City can still hold on in this regard because they have Guardiola.

From the sluggish state last season to the comeback at the beginning of this season, Guardiola's drastic reforms have also brought Manchester City back to life. The team's "old man" Haaland continued his hot state last season, and his two goals in the first round also announced that he is still a strong contender for the Premier League Golden Boot. The new player Reindes performed well in his debut, with one goal and one assist. After the game, he would be the best player in the game. He would be plug and play. I have to admire Guardiola. Then there were two young players Lewis and Bob, which would be the starting point. The old men, new players and young players of Manchester City are all shining and hot. How could such a Manchester City be so fierce when playing ball! The four goals in the first round were assisted by four different players, which also reflects the offensive characteristics of Manchester City's multi-point blooming. In addition, Guardiola's proud pass-control football was also fully played in the first round. With a 91% pass success rate throughout the game, he frequently used short passes to tear open the opponent's defense line to score goals. Guardiola is familiar with this trick. This time he played against Tottenham at home, it is estimated that Guardiola will still do the same. Can Tottenham Hotspur be able to withstand such an attack?

Let's take a look at Tottenham. The three goals in the first round beat Burnley, which will definitely boost the morale of Tottenham players. Manchester City's new players are very powerful, and Tottenham is not behind. Kudus, who made his debut, created 5 excellent opportunities, and two key assists have brought goals to the team, and his ability to control the field is very strong. Although Tottenham is in a very hot state, it is estimated that they will not play against each other in this round, and they will not play against each other. Defensive counterattack should be the first choice. Tottenham's ability to advance quickly in the midfield is quite strong, which is also a powerful weapon for them to play against the defense. The offensive transition is fast, as long as the timing is accurate, Tottenham will not have a chance to score. At the same time, Tottenham Hotspur, which has returned this season, adopted a new defense combination after several main defenders returned. In the first round of the game, the stability of this defense has increased. It has the ability to "steal chickens" and "bus" in front of the goal. Tottenham should not be one-sided in the away game.

Both teams have finished playing the sticks. Let’s take a look at the performance. On paper, Manchester City is definitely better than Tottenham. However, judging from the performance of the confrontation in recent years, Tottenham seems to have become a team that Manchester City does not want to meet. In the past 4 matches against Tottenham, Manchester City has only achieved a record of 2 wins and 2 losses. The mixed quality of Manchester City has not gained a psychological advantage in this game. Whoever can control the rhythm of the game will be easier to win the game. Come on, two head coaches, show your skills, which may become the key to the outcome of this game.

The battle between Manchester City and Tottenham will begin soon, and the highlights are full. Just waiting for the fans to take the seat. It depends on the trend of the standings and determines the direction of the league. Such a wonderful drama will be staged in the second round. Fans, are you ready to face this goal battle?
