Manchester City youth training products, Trafford, who returned to Manchester City's first team in a roundabout way, gave it to Manchester City with a low-level mistake as a return gift. This may be a disaster that must be overcome for the young goalkeeper. But once you can't get through it, your future prospects will be confusing.

In fact, Manchester City is also overcoming the tribulation, and it has been over for three years but hasn't. Tottenham Hotspur is their disaster. Since its state fluctuations in October 2024, Manchester City has not yet recovered 100%. In the Club World Cup, they were eliminated by Riyadh Crescent and a big cold broke out. In the first round of the Premier League, they swept Wolves 4:0, giving people a sign of a complete transformation; but the second round was then killed by Tottenham, which made people worry about the prospects of Manchester City's new season. After all, in recent years, Manchester City rarely has such ups and downs at the beginning of the season. Some people may say that after Tottenham changed their coach, they caught Manchester City off guard. But if you are familiar with the history of the two teams' matches in the past three years, you will know that Tottenham has always been very excited to play Manchester City, especially away games. As early as the Australian-Polish era, Tottenham Hotspur had already fulfilled its duties as Manchester City nemesis. So, how did Tottenham play the role of Manchester City nemesis in the past two seasons? In fact, Tottenham lost to Manchester City during this period, and it was not a single game, but Tottenham did two things - first, they met Manchester City away and won all of them; second, they played away and scored their opponents without a single goal. Before this game 0:2, Manchester City was humiliated by Tottenham at home last time, and they lost 0:4 in the first leg of the Premier League last season. In fact, last season, Tottenham performed extremely poorly. Their gamble for the success of the Europa League was based on the sacrificing energy investment in the Premier League. In the end, they ranked 17th, only one higher than the relegation zone, setting a record for the worst Premier League ranking in the team history. This is also the most important reason why Aobo is still being fired for winning a European championship for the team.

But even so, Tottenham still beaten up when he caught Manchester City. At that time, Manchester City was in the initial stage of its decline. When they met Tottenham, they were experiencing a huge splash, just like they were swept by Portugal Sports 1:4 in the Champions League. In two seasons, one game 0:2 and the other game 0:4, Manchester City was always defeated by Tottenham at home, and there was no penalty. This is Tottenham's magic, Manchester City's shadow. In fact, even if we look at the season one more time, from the 23 to 24 seasons, Tottenham was in the initial stage of opening high and closing low, and everyone was bullied, but Manchester City still couldn't beat Tottenham at home. A 3:3 game was initially established to Tottenham's away suppression mode against Manchester City in recent years. The last time Manchester City beat Tottenham Hotspur at home was 4:2 from the 22-23 season. Tottenham's counterattack speed, strength of confrontation, and impact are what Manchester City fear the most. This 0:2, Trafford's mistake was actually thanks to Tottenham's suffocating frontcourt oppression. In the past two seasons, Tottenham has posed a threat to Manchester City at home and always lost; but on the away game, Tottenham is more pragmatic and has a lower posture, which has a good effect. From the 25th to 26th season, Manchester City has played at home to Tottenham. The next home game will be waiting for the 26th to 27th season. Let's see when Tottenham defeated Manchester City away and scored zero.
