The Aussie coach did what few can when his Japanese club beat City for possession in pre-season
While Yokohama F.Marinos may have lost 3-1 to Manchester City in pre-season, there was one stat that would have surely brought a smile to Ange Postecoglou's face.
The former Socceroos coach, now into his second season in the J-League, saw his side boast 58 per cent of possession when they came up against Guardiola's team in late July.
For two coaches that pride themselves on dominating the ball, it was a small but important victory for Postecoglou, who believes Yokohama managed to highlight a way City can be challenged.
