Football

At 9:00 on June 24, Premier League giant Manchester City will face the challenge of Asian team Al Ain in the second round of the Club World Cup Group G. If we can win a winning streak in this game, Manchester City is expected to secure a top 16 spot in one round ahead of schedule. In the first round, Manchester City defeated Casablanca Vidard 2-0, while Al Ain lost to Juventus 0-5, and the latter would be eliminated early if he lost. Although Al Ain is a traditional Asian strong team, the gap in overall strength is still obvious compared to Manchester City. In this matchup, the outside world is generally optimistic that Manchester City will win easily, and head coach Guardiola will also preserve his strength for the strong dialogue with Juventus in the last round of the group stage. Guardiola is expected to rotate the starting lineup to a certain extent.

The goalkeeper's position is not very suspenseful. Ederson, who completed the first game, is expected to continue to defend the goal. On the right side of the defense line, the main right back Lewis was dyed red in the first game. This round of suspension, Nunes, who was from midfield, may play a cameo on the right side. Previously, he had been entrusted with this task by Guardiola many times. At the left back, Guardiola is very likely to give new player Nouri a starting opportunity. After all, against Al Ain, he can find the feeling of the game in advance when the defensive pressure may not be great.

Two centre-backs, Uzbekistan's big gate Husanov is expected to replace the young Reiss to start. In the first game, Rees suffered a considerable test on the defensive end. The one who partnered with him will be the core of the defense line Dias. Dias rested in the first round. In the competition, Guardiola could not have kept the defensive core on the bench, which was not conducive to maintaining the state.

The position of the midfielder, the new player Reindes, who performed well in the first round, is likely to continue to start and serve as a single midfielder. Nico Gonzalez also has the possibility of making a debut. The core Rodri will continue to wait for the bench and stay in the game in the second half. In the midfield and frontcourt, Gundoan, who may transfer to Galatasaray in the near future, is likely to start, while Foden, who scored two goals in the first game, is expected to continue to take on the task of delivering shells to the front line.

attack line is one left and one right, and is predicted to be Savigno and B seats. With the forward arrow position, Haaland, who is a substitute in the first round, is expected to return to the starting list. Against Al Ain, Haaland is expected to open his Club World Cup goal account and take the first step toward the Golden Boot in the event.
