Kitchee vs Manchester City
After Manchester City’s failure in the Premier League Asia Trophy some time ago, Manchester City will continue their pre-season tour against Hong Kong local club Kitchee. This match is of course the first match of the two teams in history, especially for the host camp which will surely get valuable experience from this fight.
Playing at the Hong Kong Stadium, of course, the stands will be filled with fans from both sides, considering that Manchester City are a big team. For Kitchee, they were fortunate enough to get a chance against Pep Guardiola’s foster children in the middle of the run of the Hong Kong Premier League, but unfortunately the Kitchee camp was almost 1 month last time they did the match and it was in the AFC Cup stage group.
In the AFC Cup Kitchee had to settle for failing to qualify for the next round after only ending the group I phase into Runner Up. Meanwhile Manchester City were invited to the Premier League Asia Trophy, in the first game they successfully destroyed Westh Ham United 4-1 but the second match lost to Wolverhampton in the drama of the penalty after a 0-0 draw at normal time.
However, the event for Pep Guardiola is not too important, the most important thing for him is the young players and layer players who are given playing time. Included in this match Manchester City are believed to reduce the same squad as against West Ham United and Wolverhampton. Manchester City still cannot be strengthened by several players such as Sergio Aguero, Gabriel Jesus, Ederson, and Riyad Mahrez.
But back again for the chance of victory, of course, on the side of Manchester City, Kitchee’s quality is still far below the English Premier League champions. Most likely the invincible Kitchee is quite easy.
