00:06The city formation we were speculating who would play as a false nine that almost playing with a front two
00:11of De Bruyne and Foden
00:12This is Sterling and Aurier got an important foot in
00:18Yeah, but both Foden and De Bruyne have the freedom to either drop in her backs of this of spurs
00:24to figure out
00:25Which one that is because if Foden wants to drop in you've got Sterling with this pace
00:30running off of him if De Bruyne
00:36Jao Cancelo
00:38Raheem Sterling
00:39a nice check back
00:42In the end a moment of alarm for stability tactically that Cancelo can give you can come inside and play
00:49as a midfielder in possession
00:51Or he can get on the touchline and really open up the game
00:55Just how quick is Sterling with those cuts, but good real understanding between Cancelo and Raheem Sterling
01:08Walker
01:11Mares and Sterling
01:16It comes from Mares dropping it back and then Kyle Walker can everyone's involved and it's just so difficult to
01:23pick up runners from so many different angles
01:25When you're going up against the Manchester City attack
01:32That's when they beat Aston Villa
01:36Mares
01:38Awkward for the Reese
01:40Watchfully dealt with
01:45Foden up and Sterling
01:49Heroic block by Alderweireld
01:51Just having their way with their movement Phil Foden immediately off a quick throw and find Sterling and Eric Dyer
01:57with a wonderful last-ditch
01:59block here right in front of Lloris
02:02But the understanding
02:05Now the song
02:09Speculative effort
02:10Nothing more than that
02:12But good little spell pressure on this Manchester City defense because Tottenham's gotten out of their defensive third
02:18They've got numbers forward
02:23They put themselves under real pressure with bad turnovers like this one
02:26Mares to De Bruyne up
02:28Sterling's free
02:30It'll come for Foden
02:37You're just putting yourself in bad spots turn it over it's okay at times to play direct with a purpose
02:43now your back line is under extreme pressure here
02:47And Alderweireld does a wonderful job with the first one, but then the deflection to react and off the post
02:58And there is Sterling
03:04Runs off the ball the timing recognizing that Phil phones right in front of them
03:09Winx is worried about that so make that diagonal run in and behind that back four
03:16Sterling's been up for it
03:21You know
03:27Ambitious and accurate and adhesive control from Mares
03:33Found the angle and nearly found the far corner two
03:37I mean what a clinic this is in technique one from the ball from Cancelo
03:41But how's this for the touch from Mares and then being very direct?
03:45Taking on the defender
03:48Fantastic work for Cancelo to switch the point of attack and find Mars in a 1v1 situation
03:55An extremely dumb
03:58Under one de Bruyne up Fernandinho
04:02Mares on his favorite left
04:05Great look at how difficult it is in tight spaces to defend Manchester City everything's on an angle everything's quick.
04:12It's precise
04:14And so when you're defending you've got to make a decision. Do you go in between?
04:19There's the cup final after the return to the new version of Wembley Stadium
04:24Mr. Bruyne and Sterling
04:30Just the ability to floats to find the game drop deep when you need to for the majority of this
04:36first half
04:36We seem to burn up take up higher attacking positions, but now dropping deep and just
04:41Wonderful delivery over the top and lucky for Sterling to not get on the end of this
04:46But what a world-class ball from Kevin de Bruyne
04:51Come out high press get him under pressure
04:54Similar to what Chelsea did in the FA Cup semi-final is Cancelo. What a save
05:03Lloris with a wonderful save here and we talk about that flexibility with the fullbacks when they come inside
05:09See now or he's worried about the runner outside with Raheem Sterling now. He's got to come inside. It's in
05:15a half a space
