The number one favorite to win the Club World Cup is born! He won all the teams and scored 13 goals, and Zhan Jun said he was promoted successfully

Not long ago, in a peak match of the Club World Cup, Premier League giants Manchester City showed strong strength, defeated Juventus with a huge gap of 5-2, and won a huge group stage victory, becoming the only team in this Club World Cup to achieve this achievement. Manchester City, who is in good shape now, has undoubtedly become the number one favorite to win the championship. Throughout the top half, no team seems to be able to effectively stop them from moving towards the finals.

The just-passed 2024 season is an embarrassing moment for Manchester City. They failed to win the final victory on all fronts and unfortunately encountered a situation where all four major seasons were gone. All of this disappointed the fans, and a few voices even questioned the team's coach Guardiola and shouted the slogan of "subsidy". However, thankfully, the senior executives of Manchester City club still maintain unwavering trust in Guardiola. After introducing three powerful new players including Reindez, Aitnuri and Sherki, the team quickly got out of the trough and showed good signs of recovery.

In the first two rounds of the schedule, Manchester City faced Casablanca Vidard and Al Ain, without encountering too many obstacles, and easily won 2-0 and 6-0 respectively, successfully ushering in a winning streak. The direct confrontation with Juventus in this round will determine the ownership of the first place in the group, and both sides have high hopes for this battle. Therefore, Manchester City sent all its main players to participate in the game, and Rodri, a midfielder who had been injured for nearly half a year, also returned to the starting lineup. At the beginning of the game, Manchester City showed a fierce offensive posture. After only 9 minutes, the team broke through Juventus' defense through precise cooperation. Nouri made a straight pass and sent the ball forward. Doku cleverly cut in the penalty area and found the right angle. He shot successfully and scored with a volley. Manchester City took a 1-0 lead early. Although Juventus once tied the score with Kupp Menas's goal and took advantage of Ederson's mistake in passing in the backcourt, the game was completely controlled by the Blue Moon Army since then. In the 26th minute, Manchester City launched an offensive from the wing again. Nunes made a precise cross from the right. Although no one followed up in the area and it should not be a threat, Juventus' defensive core Kalulu kicked the ball into his own goal without any preparation. Manchester City thus gained a 2-1 lead and returned to the locker room with full confidence. After the second half started again, Manchester City's offensive was still fierce and there was no sign of decline. In the 52nd minute, Reindez gave a wonderful pass. Nunes did not choose to be greedy for a single shot, but cleverly transferred the ball to Haaland, who was standing in the middle, who easily sent the ball into the empty goal and expanded the score to 3-1! However, this offensive did not mean to stop. In the 69th and 76th minutes, Foden and Savignho scored consecutively, widening the gap to as many as 4 goals. Although in the final stage of the game, Juventus center Vlahovic seized a chance to score a goal, saving some face for the team, Manchester City finally established the victory with a score of 5-2, entered the knockout stage with a head high, showing strong strength.

In three games, Manchester City scored a total of 13 goals and conceded only 2 goals, and their performance on both offense and defense was perfect. The Blue Moon Legion's outstanding performance also won the praise of commentator Zhan Jun of this game. After the game, he posted a news on social media, praising Manchester City: "The Blue Moon Legion is the only team to win this Club World Cup. The changes in the coaching team and the adjustment of Guardiola's tactical concepts have all significantly improved the team's speed and strength! Will Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain meet in the finals in this cup?"
