He City of Manchester achieved the golden victory this Wednesday in the field of Arsenal. The team led by Pep Guardiola he won 1-3 and thanks to this he positioned himself as the temporary leader of Premier Leaguewith the same points as the ‘gunners’ though Mikel Arteta They have a pending game (against Everton). It was a spirited game, how could it be, and it was more than remarkable that it happened because it was the match of the career of Pep Guardiola as a coach where his team has less possession of the ball.
In particular, it remained at 36%, a record that is far from normal not only here City of Manchester but in all the teams led by the Santpedor coach since he moved to the bench. Because of this, the Arsenal of Mikel Arteta it reached 64%. In other words, almost double. Artetain his time was a student of GuardiolaHe certainly seems to understand the game in a similar way to how Pep understands it.
At this point, it should be pointed out that, despite what has been said and how misinterpreted the data is, the City of Manchester far from it acted as a defensive team. Yes, he opted for counterattacking, especially in the second half, but that’s not synonymous with defending. In fact, the balance of shots made was only 10-9 in favor of Arsenal and about the shots that found the goal it was a 1-6 in favor of City of Manchester.
In other words, the Arsenal vs Manchester City this Wednesday will go down in history as the match where one team came from Guardiola He has less possession of the ball. At least until now. The lowest of over 800 official parties led by Pep Guardiola as a coach. And as ironic as it may seem, with success.
