Gundogan's position with the ball is already quite forward, less than 30 meters from Manchester City's goal;
He stops the ball steadily, his eyes swiftly sweeping towards the two fast-moving teammates.
One of them is Agüero in the center.
This Argentine player, like a nimble phantom, swiftly shuttles through the gap between Blind and Bailey, gliding quickly towards the left flank.
The other is Tang Long.
He made a brief change in position, shifting from the left to the right flank, pulling fully towards the gap between Bailey and Valencia.
After a quick 0.5-second thought and decision, Gundogan decisively delivers a precise pass to Tang Long on the right flank.
On the sideline, Guardiola sees this from afar and can't help but give Gundogan a thumbs-up, his eyes full of appreciation.
This is one of the common offensive methods in Manchester City's current attacking setup.
