All members of Manchester City Club World Cup group stage play, teams tend to screen

Look at the wonderful plot of this Club World Cup! Manchester City and Real Madrid may face off in a fierce match in the knockout round! Observing the order of Real Madrid's appearance, it seems that they are a bit of ambition to pick their opponents. What choice would Real Madrid make between choosing Juventus and Manchester City? This is hard to guess, like a difficult "multiple-choice question".

And in Manchester City's camp, Guardiola began to use new tactics from the Club World Cup. He unexpectedly adopted the three-center-back tactic. Although his performance was a bit awkward, he was similar to a novice who had just learned to cook, but he still needed to adjust the temperature. The opponents in the game are weak and it is difficult to accurately evaluate the level of other players. Perhaps we are looking forward to the team's acceleration, but there is no obvious change. Rodri has not yet appeared at this time. Will his participation increase complexity again?

Obviously, Guardiola observed the player's status in the group stage, thinking about the issues of retention and elimination. For example, Silva seems to be the core of the team, or even the captain. Husanov made his debut again, and he also needs to observe his performance carefully. The team is generally younger and rejuvenated. Guardiola is eager to win the Club World Cup because he has never lost all of his previous participation, and it is time to win the championship again.

Another strange phenomenon is that the teams in the game performed well at night, while the competitions during the day are frequently unpopular. The Club World Cup seems to have become a "training ground" for European teams to integrate their lineups, and it is also a "big stage" for South American players to show off. Each team is competing for opportunities and showing itself. At present, Manchester City may need new blood at the right back position, and there is no gap in other positions so there is no need to follow the trend.

Manchester City under Guardiola has played two good lineups, giving full play to the tactical changes. This is similar to the common routines in the European League, and the truly exciting knockout round has just begun! Real Madrid may have to look at Manchester City's performance in the group stage, be careful to avoid encountering early, so as not to cause trouble when the premature confrontation is caused.
