Chapter 987: Greno Actively Asking for a Battle (Monthly Subscription Pass Required)

Fang Jue now has a little liking for the atmosphere of the St. Andrews Stadium.

St. Andrews Stadium is relatively small and can only accommodate 30,000 people.

One advantage of a small stadium is that a huge sound can erupt in a narrow space.

Moreover, the stands are closer to the field, and the noise from the fans has a stronger influence on the players.

After the game started, Aston Villa fans made loud noises and movements to influence and interfere with Real Madrid players.

Especially important Real Madrid stars like Ronaldo, Benzema, and Alonso, as long as they get the ball, they will receive huge boos and boos.

Fang Jue's gaze was on Coentram.

In the last game, two of Aston Villa's three goals came from Essien's side, which highlights that Coentrao's performance is not bad.

It seems that because of this reason, Mourinho still arranged for Coentrao to start today, but did not play Brazilian star Marcelo.

This arrangement has been carefully considered.

Marcelo's offensive ability is stronger.

Real Madrid must win 2-0 in the away game to make a comeback. It seems that Real Madrid should use Marcelo, who has a stronger offensive ability.

However, it is precisely because Real Madrid is going to attack that Real Madrid's defense is more important.

Real Madrid will try to avoid being scored by Aston Villa.

In this case, Coentrao is very strong and has a balanced offense and defense. Compared with Marcelo, he is more like a serious full-back. On the defensive end, Mourinho can be more at ease.

...

On the offensive end, Mourinho has high hopes for Di Maria.

However, not long after the game started today, Mourinho frowned:

Di Maria is clearly out of shape today.

Once he faced Danny Rose's fight on the wing, but failed to form a breakthrough, and finally chose to force an inside shot.

The shot flew high into the stands.

Aston Villa fans immediately seized the opportunity to boo the Argentine.

And Ronaldo, who had already come to meet him, expressed his dissatisfaction with Di Maria's blind long-range shot.

He waved his arms vigorously, shouted at Di Maria, motioned him to pass the ball, pass the ball!

It's not just Di Maria who is in poor form.

Er Dayan's state today is also very regrettable.

In the 15th minute of the game, Erda dribbled the ball in front of the field, and Clement went up to defend him.

Clement stretched out his foot to touch the football, and Udayan wanted to pull the ball and turn around, but his foot stumbled, and he staggered. The football was immediately snatched by Clement, and Udayan was also caught by Clement. Mentor knocked down to the ground.

Er Dayan, who fell to the ground, complained to the French referee Lannoy that Clement was fouled.

The referee Lannoy ignored him.

Er Dayan jumped up from the ground angrily, waving his arms and complaining endlessly, completely ignoring Aston Villa's quick counterattack.

Mourinho is very dissatisfied with Er Dayan's performance this time.

He roared at the court, "Back to defense! Back to defense! Back to defense! What the hell are you doing? Back to defense!"

...

After being scolded by Mourinho, Er Dayan quickly returned to defense.

Over there, Aston Villa's quick counterattack failed, and Pepe directly fouled Ha Mei with a direct tactical foul.

Fang Jue was furious. He expressed his dissatisfaction with the referee Lannoy for not showing Pepe a yellow card.

This is an excellent opportunity for Aston Villa to counterattack. Real Madrid's tactical foul without a card prevented Aston Villa's counterattack. This is a very profitable business.

After being scolded by Mourinho, Er Dayan's attitude in the fight and return to defense became a little more positive.

His positive attitude is: Foul!

In the 21st minute, Er Dayan almost hugged Ibrahimovic when he returned to the defense.

The referee Lannoy verbally warned Er Dayan.

"Isn't this a yellow card?" Fang Jue roared angrily.

Three minutes later, Er Dayan teamed up with Alonso in midfield to bring down De Bruyne.

The referee Lannoy finally drew the card this time, and he showed Ozil a yellow card.

Mourinho was cursing on the sidelines. He was very dissatisfied with the referee's card to Er Dayan.

Of course, it is very clear in Mourinho's heart that there is nothing wrong with this card.

Now, what Mourinho is worried about is that the German seems to be too active after being scolded by him. Looking at this posture, Mourinho is very worried that Er Dayan will accumulate two yellow cards and be sent off before half the game. .

This is because Real Madrid only arranged Harvey Alonso as a defensive midfielder today. Real Madrid's midfield interception ability has declined, which makes other Real Madrid players have to contribute on the defensive end.

For example, Di Maria and Er Dayan need to pay more attention to returning to defense and filling positions.

Taking advantage of a chance of a dead ball, Mourinho grabbed Er Dayan who was about to throw a throw-in from the sidelines, "Calm down, I don't want you to be sent off before half-time."

Er Dayan immediately stated his position, please rest assured the coach, he knows well and will not be sent off.

...

He's right, he won't be sent off.

Three minutes later.

Er Dayan took the ball in the frontcourt, and Modric went to defend him.

Seeing that it wasn't Clement who came to defend him, Er's eyes widened and he was overjoyed.

He flicked the football horizontally, as if he wanted to cut forward and break through.

After tricking Modric into stretching out his foot to intercept, Er Dayan suddenly wiped the football, then took advantage of the opportunity to pull the ball, using his left foot as the axis, and turned around on the spot.

Modric was shocked, and stretched out his hand to pull Erda's eyes.

Then he heard the other party let out a scream and fell to the ground.

Modric succeeded in stealing the ball, and then he was furious, no such thing, he just pulled the opponent's jersey, and this guy screamed as if he had been kicked and broke his leg.

However, looking at the opponent lying on the ground screaming more and more miserable, Modric was also a little confused. He hesitated for a while, and instead of passing the football forward, he kicked the football out of the sideline, causing a dead ball.

...

Real Madrid's team doctor quickly entered the field.

Modric stood aside, looking very innocent, he explained to the Real Madrid players who came over that it wasn't him who hurt the big eye, he didn't foul.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema and others didn't bother Modric either. They could see clearly just now that the Croatian at most pulled the jersey of Erdayan, and there was no malicious action to hurt others.

"Er's big eye was injured and it looked very painful. How did he get injured?" Lineker was also surprised.

At this time, the slow motion replay tells everyone what happened.

Er Dayan stopped and turned quickly on the spot, and at the same time pulled the ball and turned around to pass Modric.

It was at this moment of turning around that Real Madrid's German star seemed to sprain his ankle when his left foot landed on the ground.

"This is an unexpected situation when the player made his own actions, and it has nothing to do with Modric." John Mortensen defended Modric, "The Germans seem to be unable to continue the game. Bad news for Madrid."

Real Madrid's team doctor checked Er Dayan and frowned. They gestured to the sidelines for a substitution.

Mourinho has a big head.

Er Dayan's sudden injury also completely disrupted Mourinho's arrangements.

Bell is seriously injured, and this season is impossible to count on.

Kaka was also injured and was never brought to Birmingham at all.

Er Dayan was suddenly injured now, and Mourinho found that he had no one to use.

Mourinho himself finds it absurd that no one can use the majestic Real Madrid.

In desperation, Mourinho could only make a compromise. He replaced Nacho, who he had always looked down upon, and replaced the injured Er Dayan.

Nacho goes to play right back.

Essien, who played as a right back, returned to the midfield position.

...

Fang Jue saw that Essien was adjusted to the midfield.

He immediately made adjustments and asked the team to focus on attacking Essien.

'Big Buffalo' performed very well at Chelsea and is considered to be the most reliable midfielder in the Premier League.

However, now Essien's state is getting worse and worse.

In fact, Mourinho insisted on using Essien in the starting lineup, and even preferred to use Essien as a guest right back instead of Nacho, which also aroused criticism and doubts from the Madrid media.

They question Mourinho's nepotism.

"Marca" criticized that the relationship between Essien and Mourinho was unusual, and also rumored that after joining Real Madrid on loan, Essien called a madman to be "father", which directly led to Mourinho and "Marca". "The relationship took a turn for the worse.

...

Fang Jue asked the whole team to focus on attacking Essien.

But what he didn't expect was that the 'big buffalo' who returned to the midfield was in a very good state today.

Aston Villa continued to make efforts here in Essien, but there was no breakthrough.

Ibrahimovic received Essien's key care and was entangled for a while.

De Bruyne and Hamei were also heavily marked on the two wings. Coentrao and Nacho adopted foul tactics against them. For a while, Aston Villa's offensive rhythm was disrupted, which had no effect.

In the face of Aston Villa's suddenly strengthened offensive, Real Madrid can only defend with all their strength.

The game was deadlocked.

Neither Aston Villa nor Real Madrid could do much, and the two sides fell into hand-to-hand combat in midfield.

Neither side had many chances on goal.

To be honest, the game was relatively dull and not very good-looking.

The camera even captured a lady in the VIP box yawning boredly.

Although the game was boring, Fang Jue was not in a hurry.

The 3-2 win away at the Bernabeu allowed Aston Villa to do well in this game.

The away game is 3 to 2, and there are three away goals in hand at the same time. Even if the game is scored 0 to 0, or even 0 to 1, the final result is that Aston Villa eliminated Real Madrid and successfully advanced to the UEFA Champions League this season. semifinals.

Therefore, Fang felt in no hurry.

In fact, for this game, the core of Fang Jue's main tactics for Aston Villa is "defensive counterattack".

Compared with the more aggressive 'defensive counterattack' at the Bernabeu.

In today's game, Aston Villa's defensive counterattack is the most conservative defensive counterattack. Even if they get a counterattack opportunity, they will not blindly press the whole line. The first thing to do is to defend well.

On the basis that the defense is not chaotic and the defensive formation remains intact, more counterattack forces will be considered.

In the double defensive midfielder composed of Clement and Modric, Modric's primary task is not to organize the offense and quickly play the ball to counterattack, but to sort out the midfield to ensure that the midfield is not impatient.

In the front, De Bruyne and Hamei will also pay attention to the distance from the full-backs and are ready to come back to help defend at any time.

Only two players, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Lewandowski, are not forced to return to defense. They can choose when to help defend according to their needs.

These two men staying in the front is a deterrent to Real Madrid's defense.

On Real Madrid's side, Di Maria was in poor form, and O'Brien was injured and left the field.

Ronaldo was closely guarded by Aston Villa.

Benzema and Higuain in front were cut off from the route of conveying judgment, and they also seemed helpless.

...

Throughout the first half of the game, Aston Villa had three shots.

Real Madrid had four shots.

In the total of seven shots from both sides, both sides contributed a total of four long-range shots.

When the referee Lannoy blew the dull whistle to end the first half, many neutral fans shook their heads in disappointment and even cursed.

However, Aston Villa fans burst into cheers.

The game was zero to zero in the first half, which is extremely beneficial for Aston Villa.

If Real Madrid want to come back, they must score two goals in the second half of the game, while ensuring that they do not concede a goal:

In the half game, they beat Aston Villa, who was in good form, 2-0. The difficulty of this task can be called hell level.

So, at the end of the first half, Mourinho's face was gloomy. Obviously, the Magic Birds knew that his team had a big trouble (not a typo).

Fang Jue was smiling. After such a first half match, he was more confident that Aston Villa would eventually eliminate Real Madrid and advance to the semi-finals.

...

"Good job!" Fang Jue praised his players during the intermission.

He focused on Modric.

In today's game, Modric sacrificed his offensive ability, more to help the team defend.

Modric is not a brute force defense.

He sorted out the midfield from the position of the defensive midfielder, and used the passing and running positions to ensure the stability of the midfield as much as possible.

Before the start of the second half.

Greno found Fang Jue.

"Boss, let me play," Greno said.

"Stay honest, I will arrange you to play when I need you to play." Fang Jue said angrily.

"Boss, the game is too dull, I feel uncomfortable watching it." Greno said distressedly.

Fang Jue almost laughed out loud, talk about it, you just stayed on the bench obediently, dying at any time, and even said that the game was too dull, it was uncomfortable to watch.

"Let me play, and the deadlock will be broken in no time! Tell me, who do you want me to take down?" Greno continued without hesitation.

He really wants to play.

He is already thirty-three years old, and he won't be able to play for long, one game less.

What a great opportunity to play against Real Madrid in the Champions League knockout round. What a pity it would be if we didn't play Real Madrid for a while.
