Tottenham Hotspur – the shape of the team and its analysis: the decisive period was a failure
“The Spurs” were given the task of fighting for 4th, “Champion League” place – without Kane, with a new coach, Postecoglou, who had not previously worked at the top level, and after a disastrous previous season. And it seemed that it would work out in the spring, especially since the direct competitor, Aston Villa, was defeated. Still, Son and the company failed in April and May, not even getting points in the battle against Newcastle and Chelsea, not to mention Arsenal and Liverpool. And only the competitor’s misfires allowed the hope to glimmer. However, it seems that a 2-1 victory in the struggle with Burnley was already too late.
Manchester City – the shape of the team and its analysis: the club managed to find motivation for the Premier League
“The Citizens” were disappointingly knocked out of the Champions League, losing to Real Madrid in a penalty shoot-out, although the British club was noticeably better than the giants from Madrid – they never beat them, bringing both matches to a draw. After that, the demoralized favourite was close to the failure in the cup battle against Chelsea, but forced a 1-0 score and a pass. However, now Pep wants, if not the treble, then to retain the “golden double”. And his players put together a series of confident victories in the Premier League, up to a 5-1 result in the match with Nottingham Forest, with a penalty scored by returning Haaland. There were no problems with Fulham either – the opponent was defeated with a 4-0 score.
