Over 90 breathless minutes, all the hallmarks of a Postecoglou team are present and correct. Furious high pressing. The back four camped on the halfway line. A dribbling, playmaking goalkeeper. Moves built out from the back. Lightning one-touch attacks with runners pelting in from all angles.
Yokohama finish the game with 58% of possession. To put that into perspective, in Pep Guardiola's competitive reign at City, only four opposition teams have had more: Arsenal last season, Brighton at the end of 2020-21, Wolves in a freakish Boxing Day encounter in 2019 and Barcelona in Guardiola's first season.
