Jakarta –
Manchester City entertain Leeds United in advanced Premier League. Pep Guardiola strategizing, until watching the video of The Whites for almost a day.
Man City vs Leeds takes place at the Etihad Stadium. The match kickoff, Saturday (10/4/2021) at 18.30 WIB.
In the first half of the Premier League, City slipped when hosted by Leeds. At Ellan Road on 3 October 2020, Raheem Sterling’s goal was leveled by Rodrigo.
In that match, City noted that Opta could not dominate the match as usual. Their possession of the ball was 47.9 percent, 2.1 percent smaller than Leeds.
As for opportunity, City does dominate. A total of 23 shots were fired, but only two of them hit the target.
Reflecting on that experience, Guardiola did not want to take risks. He also studied Leeds games for up to 20 hours in search of Marcelo Bielsa’s counter strategies.
“I don’t think about the rest of the season – I think about tomorrow,” Guardiola said on the Man City website.
“Yesterday, I spent 20 hours watching their game (Leeds). It’s definitely different. You spend a lot of energy trying to figure out what to do against them.”
“They offer a different type of play that you are not used to, it is different from other games,” the Spanish manager added.
Man City already far superior in the Premier League standings. Sergio Aguero cs has recorded 74 points, 14 points ahead of Manchester United in second place. City just need three more wins to become champions of the Premier League this season.
