Chapter 1038 Zhang Yang and Yang Fan
"This is the decisive goal!" shouted the commentator John Mortensen. "At the end of the first half, Aston Villa widened the score to two goals, which is very important for Van Gaal. Huge hit for the team!"
A few minutes later, the referee Haun blew the whistle to end the first half.
"At the end of the first half, Aston Villa led Manchester United 2-0 at the new Villa Park Stadium. Based on the records of the two teams in recent seasons and Aston Villa's current performance Judging from the state and strength, Manchester United's current state and lineup, it will be very difficult for Manchester United to come back in the second half of the game!" Lineker said.
"Van Gaal is still worried about the penalty kick, no wonder he is so angry, two completely different situations of zero to one and zero to two!" John Mortensen said.
In the camera, Manchester United coach Van Gaal found the referee Haun, and was still expressing his dissatisfaction with the penalty kick at the end of the first half. Obviously, Van Gaal didn't think it was a penalty.
On the other side, Aston Villa coach Fang Jue had a joyful smile on his face. He was talking with his assistant Ceballos and Werner while walking towards the player tunnel.
"Aston Villa completely controlled the situation in the first half of the game!" said He Wei, the CCTV commentator who commented on the game. situation, they were overwhelmed by Aston Villa."
"Manchester United also played very awkwardly," Zhang Lu said, "And whenever Manchester United just started to improve, Aston Villa immediately made a strong response, directly suppressing Manchester United's momentum. come down."
...
Aston Villa expanded the score with a penalty kick before the end of the first half. This was a big blow to Manchester United, and the morale of the Red Devils was greatly affected.
A week ago, when the former Manchester United coach Moyes was talking about his experience in the game against Aston Villa, the Scot, who was appointed by Ferguson as his successor but ended up leaving get out of class in embarrassment, focused on: morale!
Moyes’ point of view is that the current Aston Villa is too strong, and it is almost impossible to take it for granted to win by relying on strength to overwhelm the opponent, at least the other 19 other teams in the Premier League. The strength of the team is weaker than that of Aston Villa.
Therefore, he especially emphasized one point, that is morale!
"It's only possible to beat Aston Villa if the morale of the team is extremely high, which will improve the performance."
In other words, this sentence of Moyes can be summed up in one sentence: defeating Aston Villa requires extraordinary performance brought by high morale!
The conceded goal at the end of the first half made the team fall behind zero to two. This situation has dealt a big blow to Manchester United's morale.
Although Van Gaal tried his best to boost team morale at half-time, the effect was mediocre.
Originally, Manchester United hadn't won against Aston Villa in the last few seasons. Now that they are behind 0-2 at halftime, many players are even thinking in their hearts: Longevity, are we going to lose again...
...
After the start of the second half of the game, Fang Jue obviously noticed that the morale of the Manchester United players had been affected. This was reflected in two performances on the pitch.
One is that some players are less motivated to run.
In addition, Manchester United's passing and cutting cooperation has decreased, and the players are more trying to use their personal abilities to solve problems.
Players began to choose to go it alone. In this situation, the morale of the players is not high. On the contrary, it is the morale of the players starting to drop. They don't trust their teammates very much.
Why was Manchester United in the Ferguson era so terrible.
It is because this team is very tenacious, fighting at the last second in many moments, and even staged a Jedi reversal.
Of course, Manchester United under Ferguson was also very uncomfortable when facing Aston Villa. They have been 'bullyed' by Aston Villa, the younger brother.
Now we are talking about momentum, and now Manchester United on the field obviously does not have that high-spirited fighting will.
In response to the current situation of the Manchester United team, Fang Jue immediately made another adjustment.
Speed up the attack tempo!
He hopes that Aston Villa can speed up, tear through Manchester United's defense, expand the score to 3-0, and completely seal the victory.
...
In the next game.
Manchester United's offense, which was eager to equalize the score, was out of order. Manchester United's stars played a little chaotically, and they hoped to use their personal abilities to save the defeat.
However, facing the midfield defense led by Clement, Manchester United's offense did not really threaten Aston Villa's goal.
In addition, Aston Villa's sudden acceleration of the offensive rhythm also made Manchester United a little bit in a hurry.
Fifty-nine minutes into the game, Aston Villa played a fast and efficient attack.
In the end, Mane cut into the penalty area and crossed the goal. After Lewandowski's header was saved by De Gea, the follow-up right back Kyle Walker scored in front of the goal.
Aston Villa scored again for Manchester United, their third of the day's game.
"Goooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaal!"
"Kyle Walker scored for Aston Villa, he scored a beautiful follow-up shot in front of the goal! This is a goal to seal the victory!" shouted the commentator John Mortensen, "Aston Villa scored three goals. The lead of the ball! This is a huge lead...The next game will be very, very difficult for Manchester United! To be precise, for Manchester United, their difficulty is not just a score of zero to three , It’s not just the time factor, it’s not even because they are facing the powerful Aston Villa, but I don’t see the kind of fighting spirit to fight desperately from this team!”
"Yes, this goal was too easy. Aston Villa's consecutive passes pierced Manchester United's defense." Lineker nodded and said, "Three to zero, Fang Jue's team leads by three goals Manchester United with Van Gaal."
Fang Jue and his assistants Ceballos, Werner and others high-fived each other.
Kyle Walker scored this goal and the score expanded to three to zero.
From the perspective of Aston Villa's coaching staff, this game can basically be declared ahead of schedule.
No one can come back from a three-goal lead at Aston Villa, let alone the new Villa Park, Aston Villa's home ground.
This stadium has been recognized as the most terrifying devil's home stadium in European football.
Even Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and other teams cannot make a comeback here. Even Ferguson's Manchester United failed here, let alone Van Gaal's Manchester United.
"This goal comes from Aston Villa's speed up!" John Mortenson said in admiration, "Aston Villa's sudden speed up directly made Manchester United unable to keep up with their rhythm, Aston Villa The goal seemed easy. Three passes and two kicks tore through Manchester United's defense. This was because Aston Villa's acceleration made Manchester United unable to keep up with the rhythm of the game, and the front and rear courts were a little out of touch. This goal from Aston Villa can be said to have come naturally!"
"This game is a microcosm of Aston Villa facing these traditional strong teams this season." Lineker said, "Aston Villa is playing more and more steadily, most of the time they play. Now firmly in control of the game, whether it is Manchester United, Chelsea, Manchester City or Liverpool, they have been led by the nose by Aston Villa... This is the first time Van Gaal has led the team to face Fang Jue. It must be uncomfortable."
When the narrator said this, the director immediately cooperated.
In the camera, Manchester United coach Van Gaal has a gloomy expression and keeps shaking his head...
"For Van Gaal, perhaps the painful feeling of today's game, he will often experience it in the next few years of coaching Manchester United!" John Mortensen teased.
...
In the end, in this focus battle, Aston Villa beat Manchester United 3-0 at home.
In the press conference after the game, Manchester United coach Van Gaal criticized referee Haun's enforcement. He insisted that Aston Villa's second goal and that penalty did not exist.
Although some reporters pointed out that there is no problem with the penalty kick, Van Gaal did not agree with this.
"My team lost to a wrong call," Van Gaal said.
after Christmas.
On December 26, in the eighteenth round of the Premier League, Aston Villa played away against Swansea.
The final score of the game was that Aston Villa beat Swansea 1-0 away.
The players who just finished Christmas were obviously in a mediocre state. In the end, Kaka scored a direct free kick and Aston Villa won the game with difficulty, avoiding the golden stature of victory in all competitions this season. broke.
Two days later, in the nineteenth round of the Premier League, Aston Villa beat Sunderland 4-0 at home. Lewandowski, Vardy, De Bruyne and Pogba each played against each other. City, Aston Villa ushered in a big victory at home.
He also won the Premier League half-time championship in the 2014/2015 season with an incredible record of nineteen league victories.
A few days later, on New Year's Day in 2015, Aston Villa ushered in the twentieth round of the Premier League.
The opponent is Crystal Palace.
In the end, with goals from Lukaku and Sanchez in the first and second halves, Aston Villa beat Crystal Palace 2-0 at home.
On January 4th, the third round of the FA Cup.
In this game, Fang Jue made a full rotation of the team lineup.
The starting goalkeeper is Polish goalkeeper Fabianski.
The central defender combination is Siren Clark and Stones.
Left back is Danny Rose.
The right back is Kimmich.
The midfielders are Pogba, N'Golo Kante, Sun Xingmin, and Grealish.
Up front are Vardy and Lukaku.
In the first half of the game, Pogba scored a header in front of the goal and scored the first goal for Aston Villa.
In the second half of the game, Glarish sent a scalpel-like pass. After Sun Xingmin successfully killed the offside into the penalty area, he crossed the goal and Lukaku turned around and volleyed successfully.
Subsequently, Vardy assisted Kimmich who plugged in to seal the victory.
The final score of the game was 3-0, and Aston Villa won by three goals.
For Chinese fans, this game has a special meaning.
At the 76th minute of the game, Zhang Yang came off the bench and replaced Vardy.
Eighty-nine minutes into the game, Grealish was replaced and Yang Fan came on as a substitute.
This is the first time after many years that a Chinese player has appeared in the FA Cup. It is also the second time after Li Yi and Li Weifeng that year that a team from the top five European leagues has two Chinese players playing at the same time.
It is very rare to have Chinese players appear in the first team of a Premier League team and get the qualification to play.
What's more, this is currently the most powerful team in European football-Aston Villa.
It's not just about the strength of the players, but the most practical issue: labor certification.
Not to mention whether the strength is enough to qualify to play, or even the permission to play.
You know, even Wen Lei can only be loaned to Ibiza by Aston Villa now, and he has not been able to get a labor certificate for a long time: the international ranking of the Chinese team is too low.
Zhang Yang and Yang Fan were able to qualify to represent the first team of Aston Villa because the two players have played in the Aston Villa youth team for more than three years without interruption. Produced by the Stone Villa youth training, you can play without a labor certificate.
Or to put it bluntly, both Yang Fan and Zhang Yang have Premier League account books.
Note that it is the Premier League household registration book, not the English household registration book. The former is the football game category, and the latter is the nationality.
Players of any nationality who are from the Premier League team echelon and have played in the youth team for more than three consecutive seasons can be regarded as youth training products, which can be regarded as the Premier League account book and are not subject to labor certification restrictions.
Both Zhang Yang and Yang Fan came off the bench in the FA Cup on behalf of Aston Villa, which caused quite a stir in China.
Even the sports news was broadcast on CCTV's Chaowen Tianxia program the next day.
In this regard, Fang Jue said in an interview with the media that for these two young players, this is a compliment for their progress and hard work, but this is just a very ordinary football match. overinterpreted by the media.
"It's just two young players coming off the bench in the FA Cup. Their future is still very long. They need to put in more sweat and hard work to get playing time. There are no shortcuts, only their own efforts. !"
"Young people, coming off the bench to get a chance to play is a very normal behavior in football games. If this has to attract a lot of attention, this cannot be said to be the progress of Chinese football, but a great irony." Fang Jue Said without hesitation.
Some people dare not say some things, but he is not afraid. He is not only the head coach of Aston Villa, but also the owner of Aston Villa. With his current status in international football, what can he not say?
