00:00:00To see big occasions for more. Here's Casey with him
00:00:02There is no better place for this matchup than right here in Kenan Stadium guys
00:00:07The home of the North Carolina Tar Heels is renowned as one of America's most picturesque venues
00:00:13It's built right into campus surrounded by the Carolina Pines
00:00:17Honestly, there is no better venue that gives you the same atmosphere scenery or charm and as Cal mentioned
00:00:24It's seen its fair share of big shows legendary performances from Bruce Springsteen
00:00:29The Beach Boys you too. In fact, even last year's international friendly between Chelsea and Wrexham was right here
00:00:36They welcomed over
00:00:3850,000 fans. That's what we're expecting tonight and with a fresh Bermuda grass on the pitch
00:00:44The stage is set for another big show
00:00:48Thank You Casey and
00:00:50so
00:00:52meeting of the minds here
00:00:54Clash of two
00:00:56European Giants
00:00:58the Manchester City side has a handful of young players the back line
00:01:04Sees a litany of youth players given an opportunity which Pep Guardiola will keep an eye on no doubt about it
00:01:11But Celtic this game four of their preseason
00:01:15Regular season set to kick off in just ten days time against Kilmarnock
00:01:21Circling of the calendar type of day for both sets of fans and after months of waiting and anticipation
00:01:27Away, we go as the FC series tour gets underway with two former European champions to current
00:01:34Continental Giants going toe-to-toe and offering us today Jamie a glimpse of perhaps what we might see moving forward
00:01:41Brendan Rogers didn't mince words
00:01:43He thought his team's for a win against DC United came down to their defensive
00:01:47Intensity and when his team is able to press and they're able to be on the front foot
00:01:52Causing the opponent to play a little bit quicker. That's when he feels Celtic air at their best
00:01:57Manchester City, of course winning the English Premier League once again
00:02:03Premier League six times in the last eight seasons under the stewardship of Pep Guardiola
00:02:11Comfortable than they perhaps should be with playing out of the back and dancing with danger as Celtic look to sniff in the early
00:02:16Stages usually dealt with in the end
00:02:19But Celtic continue to press and the referee Ted uncle blowing the whistle and perhaps saving Manchester City in the early stages here, Jamie
00:02:27As city looked to play out of the back
00:02:29It's all well and good until it's one pass too many and Wilson Esperin
00:02:33Had to do ever so well to make sure to just step in front of Kuhn
00:02:37Use his body really well to be able to absorb the contact and win the foul
00:02:41To dice with danger and this time the
00:02:44blows the whistle in their favor
00:02:46finishing on
00:02:4891 points last season two points ahead of Arsenal, of course and nine clear of Liverpool
00:02:55Stadium
00:02:57worthy venue
00:02:59We have for us here today to the watchful eye of the more head Patterson barely
00:03:04The best venues is Katie alluded to at the University of North Carolina, it's special
00:03:09It's the most iconic brands and all of the United States and collegiate athletics
00:03:15It's fitting to have two champions meet here
00:03:18Ready to start off their respective
00:03:21campaigns to try to make sure to
00:03:23Continue the dynasty of the Champions League
00:03:25I think it's a great opportunity to be a part of that and I think it's a great opportunity to be a part of the
00:03:31Campaigns to try to make sure to
00:03:33Continue the dynasty in their respective leagues Celtic three consecutive Scottish Premiership titles and Manchester City. It's well-documented
00:03:41For Premier League trophies in a row. It's unheard of in modern-day football, but these two teams continue
00:03:48To just push the limits of consistency in professional sports the hardest thing to achieve
00:03:53Won the Scottish Premiership in 12 of the last 13 seasons
00:03:58Mention who won the other title
00:04:01Relish
00:04:02Maneuvers away the former Aston Villa man
00:04:05It's a very big season for the England international that missed out on the euro
00:04:092024 championships as he manoeuvres away from the ball here in Manchester City get themselves into third gear
00:04:14Here's Jack relish to walk the cusp it goes the effort towards a girl
00:04:24First real signs of life in front of girl from Nico O'Reilly and Manchester City
00:04:32This
00:04:33Is what Stuart Robson and Chaka Islam we're talking about in the pregame wanted to see more movement from Jack relish
00:04:39Initially, he drops all the way back to just in front of the center backs
00:04:42But it's the continued movement that pushes him on and it's that last second effort as Nico O'Reilly sells the initial shot
00:04:50Not as inches wide
00:04:54Just a city now going short and changing the angle for Calvin Phillips
00:05:01Through in the early stages of the game here
00:05:06Some ball across goal
00:05:09Too much behind it
00:05:15The other
00:05:16Let's say the players are fresh after their breaks
00:05:19Really good so far in training. This tour is going to be a real test
00:05:24We'll play some good opponents in preparation of their title defense
00:05:27To take a look at some of the younger players on this tour and build their experience
00:05:31How capable are they was the question that he's asked them over the course of the last couple of days
00:05:36Highlighted James McAtee and wanted to keep him at Manchester City this year to play
00:05:42Today and operates in the number 10 role today Jamie. It's a massive opportunity
00:05:46We got a chance to ask Pat Guardiola. Who are some of the players that are looking to impress with a squad? That's
00:05:52It's not a it's full capacity with players coming back and getting their due rest from the European Championship, so
00:05:59Massive news very pointed James McAtee. He wanted to see him come back and do well
00:06:03Two years on loan. We got the opportunity to play
00:06:07Less than 67 games for Sheffield United. This is a real opportunity
00:06:11Can you reach out and grab it with both hands and take that chance today?
00:06:162008
00:06:1836 trophies Pep Guardiola 17 of those have been with Manchester City
00:06:25Imperious
00:06:29Hustle in the center of midfield
00:06:32Maneuvering the ball forward with scales. Here's Taylor
00:06:36Involved in the European Championships with Scotland and this is now Maeda
00:06:41maneuvering forwards the
00:06:43Japanese international and Tyson ball across goal
00:06:46Wide of the intended target from Kiyoko for a shade
00:06:54My a to fix this up and has no doubt about what he wants to do
00:06:59So it's confident and at the moment Rico Lewis is just waiting to see where my head is gonna go
00:07:04It's that little drop of the shoulder to create half the space and Kiyoko because he runs beyond the near post
00:07:09He's unable to guide that on target
00:07:11Really challenge or take it needs to hold that run-up just a step or two inside of the post
00:07:19Condon Rogers
00:07:21SPL winner in his first spell as Celtic manager
00:07:24Of course was an FA Cup winning with Leicester City back in 2021 X 20 City Watford and Liverpool manager
00:07:33This week he's been
00:07:35pleased with the performances over the course of the last few weeks, especially against DC United several days ago
00:07:40They fresh so well delighted with the defensive intensity and the quickness of the attack
00:07:47Early on to the first six and a half minutes or so
00:07:50He'll be well pleased with the pace at which his side Celtic
00:07:54Pushing this match Manchester City are doing the best to play out of them
00:07:58But they're having to play a touch quicker than they would prefer to
00:08:01So long Celtic can manage to do that. They are just a little bit further along
00:08:04In the preseason the Manchester City are so fitness will certainly be in favor of the Scottish side
00:08:35Exactly what you would hope for from the 24 year old Stephen Welsh
00:08:39Just waiting for that moment
00:08:42Comes across strong puts himself right into the Mitchell's Grealish and a crunching tackle early on
00:08:49Or a center back going against the likes of Grealish early Holland to be able to have
00:08:54That sort of an impact early on in a 1v1 setting and wonders for the confidence of Welsh
00:09:05Scales
00:09:10Here's McGregor
00:09:16Another way through
00:09:19An issue for them over the years
00:09:23Manchester City at the back
00:09:26Unable to find a way through this time
00:09:29Manchester City calm and composed under pressure
00:09:35O'Reilly to Holland
00:09:39Grealish
00:09:42Manchester City find something here
00:09:47O'Reilly turning away from Sebrom
00:09:49Referee does eventually blow the whistle in favor of Manchester City
00:09:53Early Holland finally getting some involvement
00:09:56Helping start the build-up to this and then Grealish
00:09:59He asked what the response was going to be from Jack Grealish
00:10:02Coming off of his omission from the European Championship side and
00:10:05Early on through the first eight and a half minutes
00:10:07He looks real lively and involved a willingness to go and find the ball
00:10:11The mentality is going to be so important for a player who's experienced some really high highs and
00:10:16As was alluded to in the preseason
00:10:18Just sort of the disappointment that he found over the course of the 2023-2024 season
00:10:32Phillips
00:10:34Trying to find a way through
00:10:35Forrest of Celtic jersey
00:10:37Has he now went to the left-hand side
00:10:39He missed the option on the near side to Koon
00:10:41He went the wrong way and that killed the entire attack
00:10:43Just needed to pick his head up now
00:10:46Snails
00:10:48McGregor
00:10:50Able to wriggle away from the nearest challenger
00:10:52And here comes Celtic on the left-hand side
00:10:55Maeda with a litany of support awaiting the service
00:11:04Taylor
00:11:06He's got the ball
00:11:08He's got the ball
00:11:10He's got the ball
00:11:12He's got the ball
00:11:14Taylor
00:11:16Celtic opt for patience
00:11:22Taylor
00:11:26Celtic find their way through this time
00:11:30A piece of defending and a goal kick
00:11:33Now then talking of Manchester City
00:11:35You're hearing a lot from what's going on on the bench
00:11:38I understand Katie Witham
00:11:39A lot of individual coaching down here from Pep Guardiola
00:11:42In different moments of this first half early on
00:11:44Shortly ago he caught his goalkeeper's attention
00:11:47Stefan Ortega telling him
00:11:49I want to see a little more quick switches from you
00:11:51Dumping the ball specifically over top
00:11:53Wide on this near side
00:11:54Seeing some space in match-ups that he prefers
00:11:57Thank you
00:12:00Manchester City
00:12:02Forget this just there
00:12:04First game of the pre-season
00:12:06They do have
00:12:08Freaking tests against AC Milan
00:12:10Barcelona and Chelsea on the horizon
00:12:12Part of the FC series tour
00:12:18Here's Ortega
00:12:19German goalkeeper
00:12:23Phillips
00:12:31Very tactically
00:12:32Wilson Elsbrand is already
00:12:34Tucking over
00:12:36Listed as a left-back but
00:12:37He's finding himself
00:12:39In the vertical lanes where he pinches in
00:12:41Tactically these are one of the things that separates
00:12:43Pep Guardiola
00:12:44What a ball over the top
00:12:45Manchester City
00:12:47Find a way through
00:12:50The one for trying
00:12:51Schmeichel
00:12:52Able to gather
00:13:02I think the legs get tangled up
00:13:03And I'm okay with that decision
00:13:04To not blow the whistle
00:13:06I don't think there was a touch
00:13:07I think Nico O'Reilly also
00:13:08Flattered in as well
00:13:13Great look at it though
00:13:14To see just how close that opportunity was
00:13:16For O'Reilly and it's
00:13:18At times one of
00:13:20The X-Factors that the 19-year-old
00:13:22Academy product has is his
00:13:24Understanding of when you lull your opponent
00:13:26Into a sleep with some possession
00:13:28And then if that darting run
00:13:30Celtic back line has to react to
00:13:32And if they're even a half second late
00:13:34That's where O'Reilly can get in behind
00:13:37Konstantinos
00:13:55They in goal was
00:13:56During their promotion season to the English
00:13:58Premier League was consequently relegated with
00:14:00But Jeremy Wattson that experience of the
00:14:02Twenty one-year-old will have garnered is invaluable
00:14:04It isn't it
00:14:06Positioning today, James McAtee playing in the number 10 role right now. There is a need for City in that position
00:14:15Defend this for a forward here for Celtics
00:14:24It's like 13 minutes
00:14:29Nick let's go the German
00:14:37This is Celtic at their best. The up back and through the check to the shoulder from O'Reilly
00:14:45And it's within the secondary touch now
00:14:48Kuhn is going to run right across the face of Wilson Esprit and as soon as that happens
00:14:52That's when Wilson Esprit has to slow up and then Kuhn can take that extra touch, that extra half-second to slow himself down
00:14:59Compose himself
00:15:01Place it to the far post. Nothing Ortega can do about it from this position
00:15:05That is composure at its finest
00:15:08Wonderfully well-crafted team goal. It all starts with that passing to break open Manchester City in the middle of the park
00:15:19Unsurprisingly, Celtic looking a little sharper, a little more composed having played three more preseason games than
00:15:27Manchester City have heading into this game
00:15:2912 days time
00:15:31Celtic face off against Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premiership to start their season
00:15:37Don't have a contriguing test against Chelsea at the stadium in Notre Dame in several days time
00:15:44They'll be their final tune-up
00:15:46So far so good here from a Celtic point of view
00:15:59Go back to a relatively young back line that has been tested on a number of occasions inside the opening 15 minutes
00:16:06Lucas Lewis, 19
00:16:08Lucan Bette, 20
00:16:10Gerard Simpson, full C, 18
00:16:13George Wilson, Esprit and 21
00:16:16A young back line for Manchester City that
00:16:20Gerard Simpson, full C, 18
00:16:22George Wilson, Esprit and 21
00:16:25A young back line for Manchester City that will undoubtedly face further tasks moving forward
00:16:33Phillips dropping in to help
00:16:41Phillips getting a little something for Oscar Bob to bring down
00:16:44He's fired an edge, Justin
00:16:46With Calvin Phillips dropping in between
00:16:48That gives them the extra number and maybe the bit of the unbalance to bring in
00:16:52There's an Oscar in on one side and Lucas Lewis
00:16:55The only possession they're getting is around the back four
00:16:59Until they get pressed by Celtic
00:17:01And then ultimately just give the ball away
00:17:15Bette
00:17:17Simpson, full C, the 18 year old academy product
00:17:25There's O'Reilly
00:17:28The best opening for Manchester City in the opening stages
00:17:3116 minutes have passed here, Jamie Watson at Keenan Stadium
00:17:34What's the observation thus far?
00:17:35Manchester City, the only possession they're having is about the area in which Ortega sits on the ball
00:17:41We've said Erling Haaland's name one time
00:17:44After the introduction and after talking about him so much in the pre-match build-up
00:17:49Now there's just a big gap between the possessions being kept
00:17:53With the back three, back four and the goalkeeper for City
00:17:56The midfield and the front three
00:17:58It looks disjointed, looks disconnected from City
00:18:00And as you'd expect in the first game of the pre-season
00:18:02But untypical for City of the standard they hold
00:18:07The chance that was necessary came in from Lewis
00:18:11He's back at it now
00:18:13Looking for a forest of Celtic jerseys and winning a free-kick
00:18:30The transmission between these two was all the way back in 2009
00:18:33In the World Football Tour
00:18:35Manchester City victorious by two goals to one on that occasion
00:18:38Chris Killen the early New Zealand centre-forward with the goal for Celtic on that particular day
00:18:45Gareth Barry and Craig Bellamy with the goals for Manchester City
00:18:49All the way back in 2009
00:18:54As Kerry alluded to in the pre-game show as well
00:18:56Two draws in the UEFA Champions League in 2016
00:19:01The only competitive tests between these two
00:19:06Another one off for today
00:19:08And what can Manchester City conjure now
00:19:11After falling behind early to a Niklas Kuhn goal
00:19:23Scales
00:19:28Kasper Schmeichel on his Celtic debut
00:19:31He's got the last two seasons in France and Belgium respectively
00:19:33He may have some work to do here
00:19:39A challenge made in the centre of midfield though
00:19:41As Nader latches on to the ball
00:19:44And here comes Celtic looking for goal number two
00:19:47By Nader across goal
00:19:49The chance that was necessary came and behind for a corner
00:19:52That switch to isolate Maeda 1v1 against Rico Lewis
00:19:59The first ball and the first outlet that Celtic have looked for
00:20:03When they get those transitional moments
00:20:05Not to get the opportunity to be a set piece
00:20:07And it's 2 on 1 if they want to go quick and they do
00:20:12And there's the cross for the goal
00:20:14A two-feet moment, Cedric Leite-McGregor
00:20:17And it's Kuhn on the far side, leads
00:20:22And the ball is kept in
00:20:24It's not as though the majority of the players
00:20:26It's not as though the ball had gone out of play
00:20:28Not the case
00:20:29Corner
00:20:30Kuhn was the only one that continued on
00:20:32There was just a referee on the far side
00:20:34Marcus Maas, his flag didn't go up, Ted Onkel, a referee
00:20:37And he's got the ball
00:20:38And he's got the ball
00:20:39And he's got the ball
00:20:40And he's got the ball
00:20:41And he's got the ball
00:20:42And he's got the ball
00:20:43And he's got the ball
00:20:44Marcus Maas, his flag didn't go up, Ted Onkel, a referee
00:20:47Didn't whistle, so
00:20:48Kuhn was the only one that
00:20:49Was thinking of being alert to continue on
00:20:54High-hanging ball played in and
00:20:56Nudged away to safety for the time being
00:21:00McGregor
00:21:0621 years of age now, Callum McGregor
00:21:08Stands a goal three games for Scotland in the European Championships
00:21:11As Celtic look to find a way through
00:21:14Gathered by Stefan Ortega
00:21:16Kariyoshi played the wrong foot
00:21:19As the entry pass was looking to be slid in
00:21:23He had
00:21:24Tate to be able to try to slip him in behind
00:21:26But instead he played it to the back foot
00:21:28He wasn't able to take it on the half-turn
00:21:30To the 18
00:21:39Having to retreat into the front of Kasper Schmeichel
00:21:42Of course, he's taken his professional career with
00:21:44Manchester City
00:21:46With Peter Schmeichel
00:21:47In the season at the club as well after
00:21:49A spell with Weston Villa and most famously
00:21:51Manchester United for many a year
00:21:55Mostly won the Premier League with Leicester City
00:21:57Did Kasper Schmeichel all those years ago
00:22:00Piece of business for Celtic and Brendan Rodgers
00:22:04With the timing of Joe Hart
00:22:05They had a big
00:22:07Big hold of Phil
00:22:08With that
00:22:09Go in
00:22:10Lujani and Sinisalo
00:22:12Started against DC United
00:22:13It was the first goalkeeper brought in
00:22:15And then were able to acquire the services of Kasper Schmeichel
00:22:18And then we'll see Schmeichel
00:22:19He looked really invigorated yesterday
00:22:20At his press conference
00:22:21Talking about how excited he was to join in
00:22:22For his first training session yesterday
00:22:26Maybe he'll be tested here
00:22:27As sitting up to find a way through
00:22:30Behind for a corner
00:22:34McAtee at the heart of it again
00:22:35Much better movement from McAtee
00:22:38Number 10 Rodgers understanding the moments
00:22:39When to go
00:22:42City loves to come and play short
00:22:43But who's the one to be pointed behind
00:22:44It hasn't been Holland yet
00:22:46McAtee takes the
00:22:47Responsibility on his shoulders
00:22:52Skibob
00:22:54Played into the back post
00:22:55Launched high into the North Carolina sky
00:22:59And it's 3-0
00:23:00But Lee sees enough to blow the whistle
00:23:01In favour of Celtic
00:23:08McAtee does everything he can
00:23:09With the first initial effort
00:23:11To just try to keep it alive
00:23:14No malice but
00:23:16It's dreadfully painful for Ralston
00:23:22McAtee
00:23:23On the Academy products
00:23:24With loan spells of
00:23:25Bolton Montrose and Huddersfield Town
00:23:26In the English Football League
00:23:27In recent years
00:23:28And Manchester City now
00:23:29Break forward
00:23:30It's Holland!
00:23:31First real save for Schmeichel
00:23:33As the follow-up goal comes in
00:23:35Real save for Schmeichel
00:23:36As the follow-up has skied
00:23:38Over the bar and behind
00:23:41First glimpse of Manchester City
00:23:42From an attacking point of view
00:23:46Out of City at their best
00:23:49That's what you expect
00:23:50When you pay your admission
00:23:52When you turn on the TV to watch
00:23:53Manchester City play
00:23:54It's taken them all of 22 minutes
00:23:55To finally have a good
00:23:56Attacking sequence
00:23:58That's why you bring in
00:23:59Cash for Schmeichel
00:24:00To understand
00:24:01All that wealth of experience
00:24:02When to come out
00:24:03And when to make that save
00:24:05From one goalkeeper to another
00:24:07Here's Ortega
00:24:11He's unable to get the ball
00:24:12Out of the nets
00:24:13When Niklas Kuhn
00:24:16To test him earlier
00:24:20McAtee's wanting to push the pace
00:24:22And he was upset with Nico Reilly
00:24:24For choosing the backwards option
00:24:26I like seeing that from McAtee
00:24:28I want to see McAtee
00:24:29Be a bit more vocal
00:24:31He has a demonstrative nature
00:24:33About himself
00:24:34To be able to try to
00:24:35Push the pace
00:24:36This is too slow for City
00:24:37They're hopeful that they're
00:24:38Going to draw Celtic out
00:24:39But you can see how disciplined Celtic are
00:24:41In their midfield three
00:24:43Celtic are doing a better job
00:24:45Of winning the centre of the park
00:24:46Right now
00:24:47And now that's why Haaland
00:24:48Is dropping back 20 yards
00:24:49The wrong side of his own half
00:24:53He's greelish
00:24:56Just three goals
00:24:57And no assists
00:24:58In 22 Premier League appearances
00:25:00One season for the former
00:25:01Aston Villa man
00:25:05Joe Reilly
00:25:07Having a problem
00:25:08From the heart of Manchester
00:25:14Manchester City
00:25:15In the other behind
00:25:16The way through once again
00:25:17As Oscar Bob
00:25:18Chases the lost cause
00:25:20Bob has to be stronger
00:25:21To retain possession
00:25:28Just a look at that
00:25:29Passive delay
00:25:30You're going to see
00:25:31The up back and through
00:25:32You're going to see
00:25:33The up back and through nature
00:25:34Now it's Haaland
00:25:35And it's the understanding
00:25:36The timeliness
00:25:37To be able to slip it through
00:25:38Because that's going away
00:25:39And because it's on the
00:25:40Less preferred right foot
00:25:41For Haaland
00:25:42He's got to take that
00:25:43Step beyond
00:25:44To try to cut it back
00:25:45And Schmeichel stays
00:25:46As big as he can
00:25:47For as long as he can
00:25:48And that wide wingspan
00:25:49Of his
00:25:50He's just being hopeful
00:25:51Of making himself
00:25:52As big as he can
00:25:53And it's exactly
00:25:54What he needed to do
00:25:56He's probably just about
00:25:57As surprised as anybody else
00:25:58That his right hand
00:25:59Was able to make the save
00:26:02Terrific save at that
00:26:03Isn't it
00:26:04On second viewing
00:26:12Here's Ralston
00:26:14And so we're hearing
00:26:15That there's plenty of instruction
00:26:16From Brendan Rogers
00:26:17And from a Celtic point of view
00:26:18Katie Witham
00:26:19What are you hearing?
00:26:20Well the gaffer told us
00:26:21Coming into this one
00:26:22This was such a huge opportunity
00:26:23For his side to play Man City
00:26:25This early in their season
00:26:27And he is focused
00:26:28And locked in on the sidelines
00:26:30Specifically paying attention
00:26:31To his defensive organization
00:26:33Tweaking little things
00:26:34Giving little pointers out
00:26:36And then when they do
00:26:37Get it down the pitch
00:26:38He's very focused on improving
00:26:40Their decision making
00:26:41In the final third
00:26:44He did say to us yesterday
00:26:46Brendan Rogers
00:26:47That he's
00:26:49Got his group now
00:26:50To the point of the pre-season
00:26:51Where it's all about
00:26:52Quality over quantity
00:26:53There's been
00:26:54Signal boxes
00:26:55Ticked
00:26:57And they
00:26:58Found another moment
00:26:59Of quality here
00:27:00As Phillips
00:27:01Fires high into the sky
00:27:11Glorious evening
00:27:13In North Carolina
00:27:15After 25 minutes
00:27:17It's the champions of Scotland
00:27:19Who lead the conquerors of England
00:27:21By a goal to nil
00:27:22And perhaps they have a chance
00:27:23For number two here
00:27:24Little goal
00:27:25Forohashi across goal
00:27:27Manchester City and Rico Lewis
00:27:29Calm under pressure
00:27:33Free kick now
00:27:35Guardiola's side
00:27:39Tons of composure
00:27:40From the 19-year-old Rico Lewis
00:27:43Guardiola will
00:27:45Love to see his
00:27:46Right back
00:27:47Just having the confidence
00:27:48To be able
00:27:49To not only bring down that touch
00:27:50In the midst of an opportunity
00:27:51Without understanding
00:27:52What's fully around you
00:27:53In that moment
00:27:54Then to keep possession
00:27:55To break pressure
00:27:56Ultimately
00:27:57Consider able to retain possession
00:27:59They just need to be doing this
00:28:0015 yards higher up the field
00:28:01It's a little too deep right now
00:28:02From City
00:28:04Alrighty
00:28:05As Manchester City
00:28:06Look for an equalising goal
00:28:10Celtic
00:28:11Organised
00:28:12In tune
00:28:13On hand
00:28:21Here's McGregor
00:28:24And having Scottish
00:28:25Premier League championships
00:28:26As Celtic manoeuvre
00:28:27Forward again
00:28:28Maeda with the angle
00:28:29Against him
00:28:30Lewis able to
00:28:31Toe the ball away
00:28:32At the vital moments
00:28:35Oscar Bob lending a
00:28:36Defensive helping hand as well
00:28:37As Philips
00:28:38Picks up the scraps
00:28:46Grealish
00:28:53Ball over to the far side
00:28:56Oscar Bob the Norwegian
00:28:57International
00:28:59Look how much more
00:29:00Dangerous City are now
00:29:01That they're
00:29:0210-15 yards
00:29:03Higher up the field
00:29:04Than where they've been
00:29:05For the majority of the
00:29:06First half in their possession
00:29:07And at each and every moment
00:29:08There's a constant threat
00:29:09From a deep lying run
00:29:10Holland's got some space
00:29:11As Welsh has just stepped
00:29:13It was time to go
00:29:14Do a
00:29:15I just wonder if the
00:29:16Fitness right now is lacking
00:29:17For those extra runs
00:29:18In behind
00:29:19And the willingness
00:29:20To have those runs
00:29:22It's very hot here
00:29:23In North Carolina
00:29:24As well
00:29:25Is Grealish on the edge
00:29:26Of a penalty area
00:29:27Grealish tried to slip it
00:29:28Through
00:29:30Celtic
00:29:31Able to divert the danger
00:29:37Grealish unable to
00:29:38Find a way through
00:29:40One of the most interesting
00:29:41Battles all night long
00:29:42Has been Maeda
00:29:43Versus Rico Lewis
00:29:44And to this point
00:29:45Maeda has been getting
00:29:46The better
00:29:47Of Lewis
00:29:48That time
00:29:4919 year old keeps
00:29:50His feet really well
00:29:51In the
00:29:52In the product
00:29:53Just make sure
00:29:54That he doesn't
00:29:55Overcommit
00:29:56He's starting to learn
00:29:57The tendencies of Maeda
00:29:58And that will cause
00:29:59For a bit more
00:30:00Competitive 1v1 duels
00:30:01And understanding the
00:30:02Tendencies
00:30:03Of Maeda
00:30:05And here's Rico Lewis
00:30:06On the ball again
00:30:07From Bury
00:30:08Just 11 miles north
00:30:09Of the Etihad Stadium
00:30:10Made his England
00:30:11Senior debut
00:30:12In November last year
00:30:14And here he is
00:30:15On the ball again
00:30:1719 years of age
00:30:18Into the path
00:30:19Of Oscar Bob
00:30:24So it's
00:30:27Getting even further
00:30:28In this passage of play
00:30:29From City
00:30:30Being able to push forward
00:30:33This is where we want to see
00:30:34Jack Grealish be more creative
00:30:36Foot on the shoulder
00:30:38Grealish
00:30:39And the effort towards goal
00:30:40Is easily gathered by
00:30:41Kasper Schmeichel
00:30:47This is patient
00:30:48This is better from Grealish
00:30:50Surveying his options
00:30:51He's 1-0 up
00:30:52To get the effort
00:30:53Towards goal
00:30:54But it closes down
00:30:55And when he draws over
00:30:56The third defender
00:30:57That's when he's able
00:30:58To play that clever
00:30:59Little slip ball in
00:31:00To McAtee
00:31:01Who just can't get
00:31:02His feet sorted
00:31:03Half-hearted shots
00:31:04For a penalty
00:31:05That fall on
00:31:06The deaf ears
00:31:07Of Ted Unkle
00:31:18It'll be a constant
00:31:19Theme tonight for
00:31:20Jack Grealish
00:31:22How dynamic can he be
00:31:23Can he cause problems
00:31:24Going 1v1
00:31:25Now he's got the opportunity
00:31:26With the break
00:31:27It's a 3 on 3
00:31:28If Holland can push
00:31:29Fast enough
00:31:30Here comes Manchester City
00:31:31Here comes Erling Holland
00:31:33Another sensational
00:31:34Stop from Kasper Schmeichel
00:31:38And Manchester City
00:31:39Text him again
00:31:42The effort towards goal
00:31:43Is straight down the throat
00:31:44Of the Great Dane
00:31:45What a debut he's having
00:31:46For his new football club
00:31:52Already a legendary name
00:31:55But he's proven himself
00:31:57A worthy replacement
00:31:58Of Joe Hart
00:31:59So far Schmeichel
00:32:00Is doing everything he can
00:32:01To make the saves
00:32:02He needs to
00:32:03And then the saves
00:32:04That he's not expected to
00:32:05This time Holland
00:32:06Gets clever
00:32:07And he tries to
00:32:08Dink it up and over Schmeichel
00:32:09But he stays big
00:32:10So long
00:32:11That he's able
00:32:12To read the flight
00:32:13And the change of speed
00:32:14In which Holland
00:32:15Put that effort
00:32:16Towards goal
00:32:17Holland tried to
00:32:18Outsmart Schmeichel
00:32:19Schmeichel shows
00:32:20He's got the experience
00:32:21To make that crucial save
00:32:22Here's O'Reilly
00:32:24And Oscar Bob
00:32:26Manchester City
00:32:27Interrogating
00:32:29McAtee
00:32:31Overhead of Ralston
00:32:34Manchester City
00:32:36Have to go the other way
00:32:42Grealish
00:32:45Into a course of boos
00:32:47From two of the
00:32:48Celtic contingency
00:32:51This is Bob
00:32:53Up against Taylor
00:32:57Oscar Bob
00:32:58Craving half a yard
00:32:59Which he does get
00:33:01Into this challenge
00:33:02On the far side
00:33:03And neither on
00:33:04Defensive duties
00:33:05For Celtic
00:33:06Able to prevail
00:33:07It's just too slow
00:33:08From Oscar Bob
00:33:09He had a 1v1
00:33:10And he invited
00:33:11A secondary defender
00:33:12And ultimately
00:33:13That's where the opportunity
00:33:15Goes begging
00:33:17Same questions we're asking
00:33:18About Jack Grealish
00:33:19Oscar Bob
00:33:20Has just as much of a
00:33:21Stake in this
00:33:22To try to prove that
00:33:23He can be dynamic
00:33:24In those wide areas
00:33:25Without the likes of
00:33:26Doku in the side
00:33:27Or Phil Foden
00:33:28But if
00:33:30Oscar Bob wants to
00:33:31Play at a walking pace
00:33:32Celtic won't mind that
00:33:33And Pep Guardiola
00:33:35Won't want to put that
00:33:36In the starting 11
00:33:37Week after week
00:33:41Oscar Schmeichel
00:33:42Certainly no chances
00:33:43Something to be said
00:33:44About Steven Welsh
00:33:47City are starting to win
00:33:48The ball higher and higher
00:33:49Up the field
00:33:50Leading to more
00:33:51Sustained attacks
00:33:52Here they come again
00:33:53Collins
00:33:54And Oscar Bob
00:33:55It's another save
00:33:56From Kasper Schmeichel
00:33:58Who is oh so unfortunate
00:34:01Manchester City
00:34:02Find a way
00:34:05Breakthrough
00:34:07In the same shade of blue
00:34:09At the University
00:34:10Of North Carolina
00:34:12And finally
00:34:13Kasper Schmeichel
00:34:14Is beating
00:34:19The sustained pressure
00:34:20From Manchester City
00:34:21Is the reason they
00:34:22Win it higher up the field
00:34:24And Holland understands
00:34:25The pressure that he's feeling
00:34:26And knows that
00:34:27Oscar Bob is beyond him
00:34:29So now Bob takes that
00:34:30Extra second
00:34:31Leans himself forward
00:34:32It's not a particularly
00:34:33Great strike
00:34:34But because it's so
00:34:35Close to the body
00:34:36Of Schmeichel
00:34:37He actually extends
00:34:38Beyond it
00:34:39And with his
00:34:40Attempt to come back in
00:34:41It's so unfortunate
00:34:43For the debutant
00:34:44For Celtic
00:34:45Schmeichel feels as though
00:34:46He should be able to
00:34:47Save that
00:34:48In the form he's been in
00:34:49In the first 30 minutes
00:34:50He'd expect himself to save it
00:34:51But nonetheless
00:34:52Oscar Bob does
00:34:53Just enough
00:34:54And Fortune
00:34:55Favours
00:34:56The men in light blue
00:35:00Fortune favours the bold
00:35:02Fortune favours the bold
00:35:03On that occasion
00:35:09That's Claudio
00:35:11And the
00:35:12Much happier manager
00:35:13And he will be
00:35:14Because over the course
00:35:15Of the last 15 minutes
00:35:16His side have played
00:35:18Much higher up the field
00:35:19They've been winning it
00:35:20Back higher up the field
00:35:21And that's led to these
00:35:22Opportunities
00:35:23The first 15 minutes
00:35:24Of this match
00:35:25They were pinned in
00:35:27Quite frankly
00:35:28Weren't up for the pace
00:35:29Of the match
00:35:30But they've started to
00:35:31Settle down and acclimate
00:35:32Themselves
00:35:33And now they're finally
00:35:34Being able to
00:35:35Pin Celtic back
00:35:36Excuse me
00:35:37It's been the first time
00:35:38That we've seen
00:35:39That happen for a
00:35:40Sustained period of time
00:35:42Well shuffled to
00:35:43Retreat into the path
00:35:44Of Kasper Schmeichel
00:35:48Here's Rolston
00:35:51Schmeichel back on
00:35:53British Shores
00:35:54After
00:35:55A score with
00:35:57Nietzsche and Anderlecht
00:35:58Respectively
00:35:59Over the last two years
00:36:04And the
00:36:05And the
00:36:06And the
00:36:07And the
00:36:08And the
00:36:09And the
00:36:11They're too easy to
00:36:12Offer at the age
00:36:13Of 37
00:36:15One thing from Citi
00:36:16Calvin Phillips
00:36:17Is taking a higher
00:36:18Position and that's
00:36:19Allowing
00:36:20McAtee to go
00:36:21A bit higher
00:36:22Nico Rielly has been
00:36:23Being able
00:36:24To go a bit higher
00:36:25now's went he
00:36:26Need to see
00:36:27The possession
00:36:28From Celtic
00:36:29Through their
00:36:30Center backs
00:36:31And allowing the
00:36:32Outside backs
00:36:33To get higher
00:36:34That way you can get
00:36:35The likes of Koon
00:36:36And Maeda
00:36:37A little bit
00:36:38Higher up the field
00:36:39We haven't said Matt O'Reilly's name nearly enough for Celtic inside these first 35 minutes
00:36:43He needs to be able to get on the ball as well like he did on the half turn for the goal
00:36:49Something here
00:36:52Confidently able to rid the danger
00:36:56No real surprise as soon as Matt O'Reilly can get on the ball to
00:37:012023-2024 player of the year for the club
00:37:0419 goals and he's also able to provide a plethora of assists as well
00:37:1218 of them in all competitions
00:37:23And in the next of preseason
00:37:26Celtic look as sharp as ever in front of goal and slice through the champions of England for the second time
00:37:35Just
00:37:37Like the first goal as soon as Celtic are able to get on the ball in the half turn in the middle of the park
00:37:42That's where they've been able to slice open city
00:37:45Wilson Esperant takes too fast of an approach to try to close down Kuhn
00:37:51And Kuhn is always waiting to chop him back. He just gets the 21 year old to bite
00:37:57And then he composes himself eyes it up
00:38:01Ortega's at the mercy of Nicholas Kuhn who is ruthless
00:38:04for the second time
00:38:06That's a fantastic response from Celtic to regain the lead
00:38:11Yes, Kuhn the former buy-in
00:38:15Rasmus Leipzig and Ajax man joined last season from Rapid Vienna for a reported four million US dollars
00:38:22two goals and two assists in just
00:38:2514 Scottish Premiership appearances
00:38:28to say if
00:38:30continues on this trajectory
00:38:33The Dodgers may give him
00:38:35Many more opportunities in the forthcoming season which gets underway in just 12 days time for Celtic
00:38:41Winston Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premiership
00:38:50So what now then Jamie Watson as we enter the dying embers of the first half
00:38:53I think you see when Celtic are ready to push the pace and collectively the group says let's go they push forward
00:39:00That's when they're at their best
00:39:02Latching on to a pass. Is there a third here for Celtic?
00:39:07Riley's at the top of the box unmarked just a good recovery from City to close down any option
00:39:14It's no surprise when Celtic play at a faster pace
00:39:17And they push the tempo City right now is struggling in those transitional moments. They're a bit unbalanced a bit of a disjointed side
00:39:26Right now they are really struggling with those line splitting passes that Celtic are playing
00:39:32Both goals have come from
00:39:36Who's Welsh into the deep line Callum McGregor
00:39:42Scales the Republic of Ireland international
00:39:46Celtic looking for another one here into Niklas Kuhn again
00:39:52Kuhn twisting turning
00:39:54The effort towards goal
00:39:56Is wide of the left-hand post much to the relief of Stefan Ortega
00:40:03Niklas Kuhn is full of confidence as he should be on two goals. He's got Wilson Esper and just waiting
00:40:09And reactionary that's the worst thing for a defender to do as he cuts it back
00:40:13Hatate is unable to get ahead of the pace of it
00:40:16Unable to stab his foot and put some curl on to it
00:40:19You have the defender there that he could have tried to use as a bit of a shield
00:40:22He just wasn't able to guide it on target
00:40:25It's cool three times in the Scottish Premiership last season
00:40:29Consulting in 2021 after three titles in four years in the Japanese J League
00:40:34market that was
00:40:37Invaded by and Posta Koglou and he was in charge of Celtic the
00:40:42Australian familiar with the market in Asia
00:40:46Celtic and now Brendan Rodgers reaping the rewards
00:40:49Celtic and now Brendan Rodgers reaping the rewards
00:40:56And Oscar Bob don't score up at Manchester City
00:41:11Ortega
00:41:151860 Munich goalkeeper joined in the
00:41:1722 23 season from Aminia Bielefeld
00:41:23Minutes for Manchester City during the Premier League campaign in some big games as well
00:41:29To Manchester United 59 days ago and now Manchester City change gears or being momentarily
00:41:41There's Taylor finds Kasper Schmeichel
00:41:47Oh
00:41:59Welsh
00:42:04First team fixture for Celtic
00:42:08Tidy up product Stephen Welsh is 24 years of age
00:42:13Approaches from the mix of Toulouse and Udinese and across Europe over the course of the last couple of years
00:42:24Clearing the danger away
00:42:28Tate
00:42:33Japan internationals combining
00:42:37Towards goal
00:42:44They're very scrambling with Ortega
00:42:48Both Maeda and Kuhn understand right now that
00:42:51They go 1v1
00:42:53There's no need to slow the pace down
00:42:54It's the exact opposite of what city are doing with Oscar Bob and Jack Grealish and it's the difference of why Celtic actually look
00:43:00the dangerous side in the final third
00:43:02both of the wide forwards
00:43:05Are just pinning the ears back and saying let's go for a run
00:43:08All right
00:43:09now the two outside Baxter City Rico Lewis and Wilson Esprit
00:43:12Having a very difficult time dealing with the pace and the shiftiness of the two outside forwards for Celtic
00:43:25Manchester City find something before halftime
00:43:28We go through on the far side as he brings it forwards
00:43:46I'm really starting to see where the loss of key figures for city not being in
00:43:52In the squad and on the tour here in the United States, at least not for now
00:43:55But Kovacic is one that instantly you start to think of
00:43:58De Bruyne the players that really dictate the center of the park for this side and already all
00:44:03Making those runs forward
00:44:05There's some real key components to this
00:44:09This opportunity that's there for several players
00:44:11I'm sure many from city are taking it right now McAtee finally on the ball after a 10-minute spell of being quite invisible
00:44:19Just need more right now in the middle of the park from city
00:44:22Scoring not an issue for Manchester City over the years 96 goals scored last season the top scorers in the English Premier League
00:44:30The top goal scorers across Europe here's Holland
00:44:34Just unable to get the half a yard he needed
00:44:37That recovery from Ralston does just enough
00:44:40To be able to put a body on Holland not commit a big mistake
00:44:44But it's a big mistake for the team
00:44:46Does just enough to be able to put a body on Holland not commit a penalty but not allow
00:44:54Holland to be able on that favored left foot in the Norwegian
00:44:57You know just wants to put his foot through it after two clever attempts to try to clip it up and over Schmeichel
00:45:03Wants to just get on his left foot put his foot through it
00:45:08Oh
00:45:17Foreign
00:45:29He starts 10 yards in his own half does for yoshi and then he just takes off and it's coon
00:45:35With a world-class ball the outside of his left foot gets the pacing just right
00:45:38There's still so much to do for for the hashi, but he's just patient
00:45:42It's an extra touch that extra roll when ortega reaches to just bait the goalkeeper in let him go to ground
00:45:50And then put the pace on it to apply the finish
00:45:53That is as good of a goal as you will get
00:45:56Kyoko starts it all with his movement into his own half and the willingness to run beyond in the 44th minute
00:46:03World-class service from coon. It's three one
00:46:07to celtic
00:46:09From kyoko for a hashi has been in riveting form over the course of the last couple of years
00:46:1573 goals in all competitions in the last three seasons for the japanese international
00:46:22Family of vice el corbe where he played a minute or two with andres iniesta
00:46:29Celtic
00:46:31Ladies and gentlemen, the fourth division
00:46:50This ability to keep the possession under pressure
00:46:54Celtic will be just as pleasing as the three goals for brendan rogers
00:46:58Of course, as you say that they give it away but throughout the course of the first half
00:47:02Celtic has done a fantastic job
00:47:05Just absorbing the pressure but playing their way through it and maintaining possession
00:47:09Foreign
00:47:23And with that goes the halftime whistle
00:47:26He would have been a thoroughly convincing opening 45 minutes for celtic
00:47:30Nicholas kirk playing the role of senior pest for the champions of scotland here today with two goals
00:47:36Bob
00:47:41Eventually finding a way through
00:47:43And celtic operating in the realm of comfort in the pre-season
00:47:48As the fc series tour gets underway celtic leading by three goals to one as we send it back to the studio
00:48:06Foreign
00:48:36So
00:49:06So
00:49:36So
00:50:06So
00:50:08So
00:50:10So
00:50:13So
00:50:35Yes, thank you very much indeed as we welcome you back to the kenan memorial stadium
00:50:39We're at the break celtic lead manchester city by three goals to one
00:50:43It is advantage champions of scotland against the champions of england earling holland. It seems jamie watson
00:50:50He's going to play at least a portion of the second half which may be a surprise to many
00:50:54With holland wearing the armband today. You're seeing a bit of a more leadership role from him
00:50:59Yep, we're not seeing him be impactful enough in the build-up
00:51:02He has had two wonderful opportunities in which cashmere's michael has come up with world-class saves on both, but they're just glimpses
00:51:09Might you need a bit more involvement from early holland throughout the course of the build-up?
00:51:14For him to maybe get about another 15 minutes or so over right now get to that hour mark before he
00:51:20Ultimately will depart. I imagine if you look at celtic what they were able to accomplish in the first half
00:51:27Celtic when they pressed it caused all sorts of problems for city city defensively struggled to keep up
00:51:32And I just wonder if they continue to press that on with the fitness that they have
00:51:37If that can continue to cause problems for city and that's their way to go and find the next goal in this match
00:51:41unsurprisingly giving the timing of year
00:51:45Substitutions are being made three of them for celtic to be exact
00:51:49jamie sinisalo the
00:51:51New goalkeeper replacing the other new goalkeeper cashmere's michael
00:51:55sinisalo
00:51:56Joining from aston villa several days ago
00:51:59Mikey johnston also the other player coming in replacing
00:52:03That dies on miyada the japanese international club legend james forrest also entering replacing nicolas kuhn
00:52:12And here comes celtic
00:52:14manchester city
00:52:16Putting themselves onto the field much earlier than celtic
00:52:19I do wonder jamie watson what brendan rogers will have had to say to this group given they are now much closer to the
00:52:24start of their domestic campaign
00:52:27Brendan rogers will be thrilled with celtics ability to push the tempo of the match
00:52:33So the message will be much more of the same continue on
00:52:37With that pressure continue on with the receiving of the ball the midfield on the half turn
00:52:41And looking to get it to those wide areas. That's where man city have been vulnerable and celtic have exploited them
00:52:48On two of the goals that were carbon copies of themselves. That's celtics key to success in the second half
00:52:55As you've got a glimpse there there's at least one change for manchester city
00:53:00Out the bridge
00:53:04Of others as well
00:53:17Another player
00:53:30So then
00:53:32it's a
00:53:33litany of half-time changes
00:53:36What sort of contest will we have in the second half as the fc series tour continues here on day one?
00:53:43Along the kenan memorial stadium. Callum williams alongside former mls midfielder. Jamie watson your commentary team
00:53:50manchester city, of course getting their pre-season underway today at least from a
00:53:56match point of view
00:53:58Celtic already played three games in this pre-season
00:54:03And it's safe to say unsurprisingly looking the sharper and more composed of the two
00:54:11Goals in the first half two from nicolas kern
00:54:15Oscar bob gave manchester city a response
00:54:18Before joe gold. Who do hashi just before half time?
00:54:23Gave celtic a 3-1 lead and breathing space
00:54:29Yes, oscar bob you can see how in school for us in the second half
00:54:34Twisting and turning and looking for half a yard plays the ball in
00:54:41Now then
00:54:42manchester city find their way through
00:54:45It's maximo perone
00:54:47off the bench
00:54:48And on to the score sheet in next to no time
00:54:52Oh
00:54:57What we didn't see in the first half from oscar bob was a dynamic ability to run forward instantly out of the halftime interval
00:55:04He drives at the defenders and it draws the pair over
00:55:07So the substitute peroni is wide open and it's this little look out of the corner of the eye
00:55:12From us when he gets to the end lines just understand to just clip it through right through the pair comes off the ground
00:55:18So if there's a trailing leg, they can't get to it and peroni's touch opens his body. It's a wonderful first touch
00:55:23It's a guided effort to the back post with enough precision to get the odds in a solo
00:55:29Fantastic response from pep. Guardiola's side
00:55:32We're very interested to see what sort of a campaign maximo peroni has ahead of him
00:55:36Just 21 years of age. The argentine was part of the velez sarsfield side that reached the cup of libertadores
00:55:43Semi-finals in 2022 spent last year on loan in la liga with las palmas
00:55:49now
00:55:50instantly
00:55:52Giving manchester city a pathway back into the game
00:56:02Question now jenny watson will be what sort of a reaction do we see from celtic after conceding early in the second half
00:56:13This is interesting from celtic because everything you talked about over the course of the 15 and a half time interval with
00:56:19tactics and the 3-1 lead
00:56:22Member head coach brennan rogers would have said to his side
00:56:24It becomes undone within 60 seconds
00:56:27Maybe the principles will stay the same but momentum wise immediately it shifts to manchester city after that goal
00:56:33Now you're trying to accomplish everything that the manager talked about
00:56:37You're only doing it with the one goal lead and the city side with their tails up and now pressing to try to win it
00:56:42much higher
00:56:52Shuttles shaken in the opening few moments of the second half
00:56:58Stalls purposefully down the left-hand side
00:57:02taylor
00:57:07Oh
00:57:19European championships this summer
00:57:31Another tactical shift
00:57:32Half time interval for city jack grealish who started out in the wide position has tucked in more centrally to the number 10 role
00:57:40It's just given the opportunity
00:57:43Versus soho to be able to go into the wide area
00:57:47And really started the match out initially. I want to see a bit more combination
00:57:51Between grealish and holland wasn't enough combining between the two
00:57:54The first half it was too big of a gap for two of your most important players going forward
00:57:59So
00:58:09Towards the cusp i'm glad he involved as well. Here's holland grealish and towards goal and saved
00:58:19Shalala on top of things for celtic, but here come manchester city again
00:58:24She's so
00:58:26Craving half a yard
00:58:29And find grealish for support
00:58:35Ball played in and nudged away by the head of taylor this time
00:58:41Going to divert it at least for the moment jimmy right now celtic are way too deep defensively city haven't pinned in
00:58:48This little touch from holland is so sweet. Just trying to put it into the path of grealish gives him the option
00:58:53Grealish is a bit
00:58:55Unselfish in that moment, maybe because he couldn't get his body turned around
00:58:59With his preferred right foot. So he's opted to set up to soho
00:59:03grealish instantly having more involvement from a more central position
00:59:20Is
00:59:2933
00:59:35Here comes celtic through johnson
00:59:38The angle of space he needs
00:59:40Edison able to make the save
00:59:45And the brazilian international called upon for the first time here today jimmy
00:59:49This is good reading of the game for medicine to understand
00:59:53Getting across the face of the near post run
00:59:56He doesn't push the save out centrally to back where he comes from and he's able to see what's in front of him
01:00:03It's a controlled save that he's making that's fantastic. They'll keep it in the end
01:00:25Holland
01:00:28Perhaps grealish can do something
01:00:33From soho
01:00:39It's a gorgeous night here in north carolina 40 000 plus in attendance
01:00:49To see their heroes the clash of two european juggernauts
01:00:56Amongst all the festivities we saw during the halftime interval. We saw a check presentation
01:01:02You will see children's hospital
01:01:05$70,000 for some of the proceeds from tonight's ticket sales
01:01:09Donated to have a lasting impact both of these two teams. They've been here training the last couple of days and making a real impact in the market
01:01:17children's hospital visits
01:01:20various special olympics features around the city
01:01:23Wonderful event leading up to tonight's occasion
01:01:32So then manchester city
01:01:34It's the goal to get themselves back into the realm of relevance celtic leading by three goals to two four. Here's katie rhythm
01:01:40Man city definitely came out of the locker room cal with a definite and distinct different vibe down here
01:01:47And the minute they get on the ball, they're headed to goal
01:01:50That's by design pep cordiola on this sideline telling his team to play with a sense of urgency and be more aggressive
01:01:57So when they do get on the ball and get possession to immediately go at their goal
01:02:02insulted
01:02:08Another way through
01:02:11Is
01:02:15Centered around callum doyle
01:02:18Under 21 international who won promotion to the premier league with leicester city last season
01:02:31This time
01:02:41Into the wide areas
01:02:50Coyle playing it forwards
01:02:53She's so hot
01:02:55You need to find a way through that's a litany of celtic players
01:03:00Goes down and earns a free kick
01:03:11Foreign
01:03:2096 goals scored last season the top scorers in the english premier league
01:03:25Scored more goals domestically than any other team in the top five leagues across europe
01:03:37Doyle
01:03:40Coventry city in sunderland alongside the spell at leicester city over the last few years
01:04:07Patience will be needed moving forward
01:04:11Starting to see the substitutes for the city warming up with a bit more bigger and
01:04:16Peace to the real
01:04:29Inside the first 10 minutes of the second half we've seen more involvement in the final third from jack realish than we did
01:04:34Practically in the entire first 45 minutes on central position suits him. Well
01:04:39Able to drift down wide and with a pocket of space for holland to come into if he wants
01:04:44We'll just play off the shoulder and that space between the right center back and the right back
01:04:48Causing a bit of communication issues right now for celtic
01:04:55Twinkle toed menace as manchester city went over the ball in harman bucket cross goal from whence it came and nudged away
01:05:05So
01:05:08That's the way to safety for the time being manchester city that's the goal number three
01:05:17Bob
01:05:31Continues exactly where he left off and manchester city a level
01:05:38Four
01:05:44Manchester city continuing to apply pressure not allowing celtic any sort of reprieve and it's the patience
01:05:52On the ball from oscar ball holland wins the physical battle first to establish position
01:05:58And then the timing of the leap is the difference maker. He's attacking it
01:06:03The defender scales is backtracking
01:06:05And then from there holland rises above snaps the header down back where it came from nothing sinusalo can do about it
01:06:14With a big man with a big leap and a big time goal to level city
01:06:22So
01:06:25Was forced to scramble
01:06:28It is as you were
01:06:31Of course erling holland had to have his say today
01:06:35um
01:06:3838 goals across all competitions last season for the big norwegian center forward 52 the season prior
01:06:47Is a goal scoring machine
01:06:50which
01:06:51the last time there was voting would be coming up soon, but
01:06:54second place in the ballon d'or
01:06:56To leno messi in a year in which he wins a fifa world cup with argentina
01:07:01It will be in any other year
01:07:02Would have been a worthy winner
01:07:04nonetheless
01:07:05Is that significant of a figure in world football?
01:07:09Having a birthday just two days ago at 24 years old
01:07:13We still haven't seen nearly the best from early holland
01:07:17What a tremendous
01:07:19response
01:07:20For manchester city inside the second half and they want more
01:07:23years again
01:07:25To maneuver through holland
01:07:28I'm starting to purge amy
01:07:31On peroni has to do a better favor to his norwegian teammate
01:07:37Everybody in the stadium knows it's going to the left foot of holland, but peroni puts too much on it with the pass back
01:07:43When he sets it he's just got to kill it take the pace off the ball for holland to be able
01:07:47To do what he wants with the effort instead. He's got to chase it going negatively
01:07:52That's why he can't keep it on target
01:07:54So
01:07:58This is just what harland does you'll see the step from peroni as it gets through it's too wide
01:08:03It's too far back and that's why holland is not able to get around. It's got to be a better service for peroni
01:08:09on the end of the field the
01:08:11Ball comes across school and manchester city are able to gather
01:08:24So
01:08:26Here come manchester city again
01:08:29You can only find something as they get closer and closer to goal. It's repelled momentarily
01:08:34So
01:08:49Mika lewis
01:08:52To reach that hour mark take your part in i'm starting to see now a couple of the warm-up jerseys coming off for manchester city
01:08:59You can expect that hour mark on your first preseason match
01:09:04it's about the
01:09:06The time stamp that pep guardiola and his physio staff would have earmarked as being a good
01:09:12first introduction back into competitive football
01:09:16Pep guardiola will be really displeased with the first 45
01:09:20but the inverse of that
01:09:21They will be the opposite into the spectrum pleased with the first 15 minutes of the second half of the responsiveness side
01:09:26Not only to get two goals, but to really establish the territory in the position of a field with their possession higher in the field
01:09:34Oh
01:09:35There's bob on the top of the shoulder down for manchester city
01:09:39Read by rolston, but manchester city remaining in possession. We were stringing it forwards
01:09:48So hope to keep the ball in play and it goes behind for the girl catch
01:10:03To be a litany of changes firstly for manchester city and then celtic since it's the time of year
01:10:22Goal number four and it has been a enthralling hour here in chapel hill
01:10:29Here comes selling again. The efforts towards goal is well blocked in the end
01:10:36Flashback across from whence it came and there's no recipients
01:10:41And celtic colors
01:10:47So then time for changes from a manchester city point of view
01:10:54It does seem
01:10:59As though
01:11:10Right
01:11:20Two changes at the back
01:11:22for manchester city
01:11:24Wilson esprance and simpson pussy the two players departing jamie watson
01:11:30I thought it was a night in which the the backline for city didn't get forward near enough in the attack
01:11:36next to nothing going forward in the attacking half, but
01:11:39Defensively, they really struggled in those wide areas
01:11:42Especially on the near side against nicolas coon who had a brace in the first half against the left back in the left center back
01:11:47as you can see a slew of changes now for
01:11:51celtic
01:11:53And brendan rogers did say to us he feels as though the majority of the group can go
01:11:58An hour or so a little further ahead in the pre-season stages than manchester city are
01:12:05Glimpse there of louis palmer the honduran international
01:12:11Chance for his side to go up against
01:12:14Me
01:12:21I'll be donovan the other player
01:12:23Coming into the fray. I'm sure from the celtic point of view started against dc united on saturday in the 4-0 victory at aldie field
01:12:37More changes
01:12:43So
01:13:06Took a press over the course of the last couple of days for his performance against dc united of major league socket
01:13:14Going over to celtic
01:13:25Salo
01:13:29Last year with exeter city in the third tier of english football
01:13:34As both managers start to make a whole host of changes get to that point in the pre-season for fitness
01:13:40That's the main focus
01:13:43Principles don't change the players may
01:13:54For their side
01:14:13Is
01:14:33I don't think it's been his best 65 minutes
01:14:36And we've seen him in city light blue. But having said that
01:14:39It's up there with some of his most
01:14:41Important goal contributions within a match
01:14:44Be part of all three goals. It's hard to say you're not having a good performance even if by his standards in 1v1 moments
01:14:49He hasn't been nearly as dangerous as he typically is
01:14:55This bumper crowd here has enjoyed it
01:14:59As the changes continue and it is
01:15:06Just over an hour mark the end of the night
01:15:10For both early holland's and jack
01:15:25Fans
01:15:27Deliver a smattering of applause to both
01:15:30Superstars and their performances and they got what they came to see jamie. And that was an early holland goal
01:15:35Fans got their money's worth with early holland
01:15:38Equalizing for city and really capped off of 11 minutes spell to start off the second half in which city were
01:15:46ruthless in their press
01:15:47much more typical of themselves
01:15:52He's working his way back into fitness inquired by his standards and involvement still gets on the scoresheet
01:15:57Here come manchester city again
01:16:01He writes the
01:16:03player that has entered for
01:16:05the
01:16:07manchester city
01:16:09Guardiola did say to the press just yesterday. He wants to take a good look at
01:16:13A lot of the younger players and see what they have to offer particularly against a much fitter side in celtic
01:16:30Runs on
01:16:35Again
01:16:48And celtic retake the lead in a wild night in front of girl in north carolina
01:16:54Is
01:17:00The timing of the run in behind sets this all up for celtic it could have been palma
01:17:08Could have been the other option but instead
01:17:10Iwana plays it across with the perfect amount of pace palma's got on the wrong side
01:17:16It is lackluster defending to say the least
01:17:20From the back four for city palma won't mind the honduran international applies the finish
01:17:27Just exposing a big gap in the back line too high of a line from city
01:17:33Disjointed disconnected and ultimately they pay the price and celtic regained the lead
01:17:50Well done
01:18:07Celtic the lead
01:18:1124 year old palma had a fantastic season last year 36 matches across all competitions 10 goals 10 assist
01:18:19so
01:18:35According to the majority of the celtic faithful it is still a major need of theirs a center forward we're talking about
01:18:50Foreign
01:18:55A host of substitutions made unsurprisingly with 20 minutes remaining
01:19:19So
01:19:35Where's the flag on the near side
01:19:42Fentonites asking the question about the secondary foul inside the box, but it was the first one
01:19:49It's going to get the whistle
01:19:53It was a little bit of a tug and then anderson gets the wrong side
01:19:59A hand ball to start it off. So that's the complaint that night will have and i haven't looked at that replay
01:20:06There were two different options
01:20:08Could have been called before night was called for the errant arm
01:20:13Which celtic may have been fortunate for that second look at it
01:20:19So
01:20:29Three kick to manchester city
01:20:34And so at this point of the game jimmy watson with 18 minutes remaining this now an opportunity for
01:20:39Guardiola and brendan rogers to cast an eye on some of the younger players as right maneuvers manchester city forwards
01:20:45Oh
01:20:49Sets it back in numbers quickly
01:20:57Doyle
01:21:04Manchester city combining on the edge of the penalty area
01:21:08And rather fortuitously from a celtic point of view
01:21:12whistle blown
01:21:13in their favor
01:21:15much better from city
01:21:17It's more congested and it's in a tighter area in the middle of the park, but they're getting the numbers advantage
01:21:22And that's why city is able
01:21:24To be able to play higher up the field now and they're able to get these opportunities in and around the top of celtic's box
01:21:31If you leave themselves vulnerable for these counterattacks and transitional moments, it is one of those transitional moments
01:21:38Celtic look for goal number five
01:21:41Manchester city repel
01:21:46So
01:21:55On another night that maybe a little less friendly you could have seen a yellow card for stopping a promising attack
01:22:02Unless this can't be it's been played in good faith
01:22:06seven goals been treated to a
01:22:09Real delight if you're a fan or a neutral of both teams
01:22:15So
01:22:27So for those of you joining us late
01:22:31This has been a thrilling game here in north carolina
01:22:45From luis palma as well to complete the celtic goal scorers thus far
01:22:54Holland's involved in the goals
01:22:57Manchester city the first day of their pre-season
01:23:05Offering a goal as well
01:23:16Is
01:23:31Right off the back of you talking about the first match and some of the first training sessions first city all season
01:23:38Lucas though
01:23:41Once or twice
01:23:43So yellow card brandished juan the first player to receive a yellow card here today
01:23:51That is silk from oscar bob
01:23:56When oscar bob goes 1v1 and he doesn't hesitate and he's decisive in his movement that's when he is at his best
01:24:03That's right. He provided two helpers on the evening. He got on the score sheet himself and
01:24:08in a fortunate manner
01:24:10nonetheless
01:24:11he can find ways to be impactful and
01:24:14One time he draws a booking for juan the substitute for celtic
01:24:17That's a good turn for oscar bob
01:24:20Who's thought?
01:24:22Is manchester city look for an equalizing goal there?
01:24:26Save that was needed was made by viljami sinisalo
01:24:35Bob receives this on the half turn and he decides to take this space
01:24:39Uh, there's an overcreative correction defensively
01:24:43from the left back anderson
01:24:44So that leaves night in that 1v1 situation
01:24:47But understanding your opponent is so key and understanding night wants to favor the left foot and come inside the right-handed position
01:24:53Anderson is just trying to force him
01:24:56lane to go towards
01:24:58the end line
01:25:00I just apply just a little bit too much room to have the effort but sinisalo sees it all the way it makes a
01:25:04Comfortable save
01:25:08Yeah
01:25:13Manchester city have a fourth up their sleeve
01:25:22That's combining
01:25:35So
01:25:38So
01:25:44Night
01:25:46Real opening here for manchester city
01:25:50Quickly calmly find a way through
01:25:53Push to one side for the time being
01:25:56Bob makes the wrong decision
01:25:58Brony draws everybody out. He's the receiver as bob receives the pass. He takes a touch
01:26:04He just needs to use the first touch to put it to the path of his teammate
01:26:08the wrong decision
01:26:10the wrong time from oscar bob
01:26:17Ripped in
01:26:20Bigger than ashford
01:26:23Absolutely picks up on the near side here
01:26:39He's going to make sure of the copa america games and that was extraordinarily disappointing copa america campaign for brazil
01:26:47So
01:27:11Intervention at the last moment from soho
01:27:13So
01:27:17This is a tremendous bit of skill
01:27:19from home
01:27:20He knows that the window is closing. So he's trying to get it back to anderson
01:27:23But soho understands how can he come back and affect the play as it turns over?
01:27:29If he has a half second delay
01:27:31This could have been five
01:27:34Tremendous work from soho though to stifle that attack
01:27:44At partiola
01:27:47He would have appreciated that just as much as any other bit of skill
01:27:50On the attacking final third from his playing days to understand in that moment from the 19 year old
01:27:55expanded just the willingness to run into work to get back what if I can help this out and as
01:28:01mike anderson
01:28:02Drops the shoulder to try to get on the preferred right foot in that moment to soho's there to clean it all up
01:28:07It's a really important play. It doesn't show up on a stat sheet anywhere
01:28:13So
01:28:26Edison five green sheets in the english premier league campaign last season
01:28:43That's a prevailer
01:28:48An interesting few days for cardiola both
01:28:52off the fields
01:28:53speculation surrounding
01:28:55two of his star names
01:28:59Who's linked with a high profile move to the saudi pro league out iti had
01:29:04Allegedly agreed terms, but cardiola suggesting that he's not going anywhere. Kevin the runner
01:29:10Join the tour in several days time. We're told
01:29:14I'm, just a city with defense on their mindsets
01:29:26Three kicks in favor. No pep. Guardiola side
01:29:32Luis palma is so tricky when he gets inside
01:29:35The 18 yard box understanding that defenders have to be on the back foot and be patient when they confront the 1v1
01:29:41well read by
01:29:43Soho to be able to make the timely intervention
01:29:53I think soho has really shown himself. Well, he's been versatile since he's come on
01:29:58The halftime interval he's shown really well for himself
01:30:03I think even if city were able to come back and grab two more goals to knock out a winner tonight
01:30:08I still think that guardiola will be disappointed with his team lack of energy at times and
01:30:15Their inability to keep the ball in dangerous spots. It was only patches and spells really where they were
01:30:21influential
01:30:23And the territory battle of the field
01:30:26It's not enough by the standard. It's dropped too much with the big names
01:30:30Not in the lineup yet
01:30:33Having returned from the european championships, I just think city right now
01:30:36They've got several players out there with eight minutes plus some stoppage time to really go and impress
01:30:40And some individual 1v1 battles, but staying within the structure that city like to possess and withhold
01:30:54Celtic now looking for another goal comes towards the cusp
01:30:59now
01:31:01Preparate that uncle says now
01:31:05It does blow the whistle in favor of manchester city
01:31:11Which is greeted to a chorus of boos
01:31:15Real time I think ted uncle gets this, correct
01:31:19It's a moment in which there is a collision. There is just enough contact on the ball for
01:31:24My money, I think that's just fine
01:31:27That's properly defended like a tongo in the end
01:31:30He's using his big frame in his range the 19 year old academy product to be able to just understand
01:31:37How to step right into the path and make sure he gets enough of the ball to not concede a penalty
01:31:44Physicality
01:31:54A free kick
01:32:00I can't give an answer. Good stuff. Lager. Bjelke the swedish international
01:32:09Lager bjelke understands. He's just taking a shot at the back of hamilton
01:32:15No interest in actually winning the ball plenty of interest in taking the yellow card with no consequences
01:32:21you can remain the
01:32:23Remaining six minutes with stoppage time without picking up a secondary yellow
01:32:26ball
01:32:29Edison's finest moments
01:32:32He was able to smother at the second time of asking
01:32:46Here is edison
01:32:48Um
01:33:03We do have to stop the play temporarily because we do have a pitch invader
01:33:11Very quickly departs the field and makes their way back into the stands
01:33:19I
01:33:21Can't imagine
01:33:22I'll be allowed to remain in the stadium
01:33:25nevertheless
01:33:26going now back into the path of
01:33:29sinisala for celtic
01:33:39International goalkeeper
01:33:48A little bit of toe to it. Here comes celtic again for palma
01:33:54Pull his pile forwards lovely ball across goal and in truth it deserved a better finish
01:34:04The complaint about mikey johnson is his inability to be efficient when he's in and around the box and
01:34:09Luis palma plays such a teasing ball with the outside to the right. So it freezes edison to the spot
01:34:16Well, the trailing center backs momentum is taking him to goal
01:34:18So mikey johnson needs to be able to put this on target by the time he realizes
01:34:23Just how good of an opportunity it was the moment has passed
01:34:26it's the one thing that he needs to
01:34:29Continue to evolve in his maturation the 25 year old
01:34:33Has to be more dangerous and critical and find more consistency in hitting the target
01:34:38Worry amongst the celtic
01:34:42Center forward against dc united
01:34:44Portion of the game he did score against dc united several days ago scored seven times for west bronx
01:34:50Alvin and the english championship and a loan spell last season
01:34:55Identified as a pure goal scorer
01:35:03Defense on their mindset the game goes from one end to another
01:35:07So
01:35:10Fighting ball across and the recipients and blue inside the penalty area
01:35:21Unable to pick out the pass
01:35:23So
01:35:36Another free kick for manchester city
01:35:47To reach the final three minutes or so oscar bob still on the field
01:35:51I think he's
01:35:53Been far more effective in the second half when he's tucked in more centrally
01:35:58it was
01:35:59jenisoned out wide and
01:36:01Really didn't look as though in the first half. He had
01:36:04Any real vigor to try to go in those 1v1 moments before he's coming to the middle of the park the more he's been involved
01:36:11impactful he's been
01:36:12So he'll go the full 90 minutes for pet guardiola and that's a good sign
01:36:17Of where oscar bob sits maybe in the pecking order
01:36:21He wants to make sure that he can get as fit as possible. Maybe we'll see a little bit more
01:36:25About the course of this pre-league season from oscar bob
01:36:33Still a challenge too aggressive for the referees lacking
01:36:37Um
01:36:42One of the key components in that victory against dc united several days ago just full of praise for the youngster
01:36:53Hamilton who is offside
01:36:55So
01:37:05Under 20 international from manchester
01:37:08First team appearances scored on his senior debut in the uefa champions league and a princely winner red star belgrade last season
01:37:19As q on the near side does present an opening now for manchester city
01:37:26Is
01:37:48Running into danger
01:37:51Since he's able to take advantage
01:37:53Manchester city remaining calm under pressure
01:37:57Here's doyle
01:38:12And forrest has been such a loyal servant to celtic over the years
01:38:16With a player who scored in the game against dc united several days ago
01:38:20400 appearances in all competitions and his boyhood club
01:38:35I may have to stop the game again here for a second because as you can see there is another pitch invader
01:38:46And there's now a handful making their way onto the fields
01:38:51Oh
01:38:54One minute's about it time
01:38:56minutes for
01:38:58Snorting to hold on and for manchester city to find something
01:39:12All the way back to jammy sinisala
01:39:20So
01:39:39It's been a good workout for manchester city in the first day of pre-season but victory confirmed for celtic
01:39:45By four goals to three what a thrill we've witnessed here jamie watson tremendous performance from sunday
01:39:50I thought they were very sharp going forward city looked as though it was their first match disjointed
01:39:55They'll need to correct that along this tour
01:39:57So no doubt brendan rogers will be delighted as his celtic side move closer to the season chelsea up next for them in notre dame
01:40:05Ac mila next for manchester city as the tour continues
01:40:09Celtic victorious by four goals to three as we send it back to the studio
01:40:15So
