Beautiful Victory
Manchester City 4-1 Real Madrid: Beautiful victory
Manchester City secured an emphatic victory over Real in Los Angeles, earning a win that will offer a morale boost going into the new season. They did so by being more direct than they were during Pep Guardiola’s first season in charge, getting the ball forward more quickly rather than with a long chain of passes and possession football.
That is not to say that City have started to hit the ball long. They haven’t by any means, but what they have now started to do is zip the ball forward by searching out the likes of Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling more quickly.
Against Real, City stretched things more than in most games last season and were much quicker and slicker getting the ball from A to B. Teams learned that they could stifle City last season by sitting deep and hitting on the counter, but this new-look approach will make that tactic more difficult to deploy.
City’s more direct approach saw them handily defeat the European champions, albeit in a friendly, so it is a good start for the new way under Guardiola.
Jose Mourinho hails ...
... Manchester United ‘good training session’
Manchester United’s pre-season win over Manchester City in Houston was “a very good training session”, says United manager Jose Mourinho.
RomeluLukaku and Marcus Rashford scored as 67,401 at NRG Stadium watched United win 2-0 in the first Manchester derby outside England.
New signing Lukaku beat City keeper EdersonMoraes to Paul Pogba’s pass on 37 minutes. Then Rashford drove in Jesse Lingard’s pass two minutes later.
“I’m really pleased,” said Mourinho.
“I’m sure Pep [Guardiola] is the same. The most important thing was to give the players high quality training.”
City came close to reducing the deficit when Fernandinho’s long-range shot was tipped over by Sergio Romero. And City boss Guardiola was delighted with the performance of 17-year-old midfielder Phil Foden, who was making his first-team debut.
“I don’t have words to describe what I saw,” Guardiola said. “His performance was at another level. He loves the club. He is a City fan. He is a gift.
“Maybe this season he will stay with us because he is special. Creating chances, always in the best position.”
It was the first derby since the bombing at Manchester Arena on 22 May and both teams wore shirts with the distinctive ‘worker bee’ logo, which will be auctioned off to raise money for the victims.
