Chapter 402 Unstoppable Luck
Martin O'Neill has a big head. He received an order from the club owner Randy Lerner to try to win the UEFA Cup match against Ibiza at home.
This is different from the previous communication and consensus between him and the stadium owner. Before that, the club's top management meant very directly to ensure the top four in the league. For this reason, Aston Villa gave up the League Cup early, and then played in In the weekend's FA Cup match, he also gave up strategically and was out of the game as he wished.
Originally, the club's top management had a very relaxed attitude towards the UEFA Cup. There was no performance requirement, and it was a step that could be achieved. The prerequisite was that it would not affect the league.
However, Randy Lerner suddenly said today that he wanted to win the game at home, which made Martin O'Neal have to think carefully.
Although the boss didn't give a strict order to win the game, he couldn't ignore the boss's words.
"What are you looking at?" Ceballos asked, then he took a glance and was a little surprised to see Fang Jue browsing Aston Villa's fan forum website.
"Just take a look." Fang Jue said, "I have always felt that to understand the opponent's situation, it is not just about studying game videos and materials. Fan forums can often collect first-hand objective information."
Ceballos thinks Fang Jue's point of view is very novel, and after careful consideration, it seems to be somewhat reasonable.
"Then what did you find?"
"It's different from our previous prediction that the opponent may not focus too much on the UEFA Cup game. With changes, Aston Villa may pay more attention to this game." Fang Jue pointed to the computer screen, "They The fans had a fierce quarrel, of course, this is just my prediction."
Ceballos is skeptical, fans quarreled on the forum, can they conclude that Aston Villa will attach importance to the game?
Anyway, after reading those posts, he found it difficult to draw such a conclusion.
Even if these posts may have a certain impact on Aston Villa Club, how could it be such a coincidence that this post and related quarrels would happen to be seen by Aston Villa's top management or head coach Martin O'Neill, And then can it have a direct effect?
Ceballos doesn't believe it.
...
Day two, Villa Park.
The game has begun.
Ceballos cast a surprised look at Fang Jue, what Fang Jue said yesterday was true.
Aston Villa manager Martin O'Neill has put together the strongest squad he can.
Key players including Gareth Barry, Ashley Young, Carew and Abang Laho all started.
Especially Ashley Young, it is said that he still has minor injuries, and it can even be said that he played with injuries in this game.
Fans express their opinions and quarrel on the forum, will it have such a direct impact on the club?
Ceballos was very surprised, and at the same time admired Fang Jue who came to judge from it.
Fang Jue has a toothache, no, it’s actually a liver pain, he only has five [yellow lucky balls] in total, and he used up three in one go in this game.
Thinking that I have done so many things for Aston Villa silently, in order to save Aston Villa fans from the bad rule of the Americans, it can be said that I have worked hard and painstakingly. Fang Jue feels that Aston Villa To be able to have a boss like myself in the future is simply good luck accumulated over eight lifetimes of virtue and talent.

Martin O'Neill frowned slightly. Ibiza's formation today surprised him. The opponent formed a double midfielder lineup today. However, it was not the traditional combination of Makelele and Modric that he predicted, but Mark Coro Sass and Modric's double midfielders, the biggest difference between the latter and the former is that there is no interceptor in a pure sense.
This is obviously not taking Aston Villa's offensive ability seriously.
Martin O'Neill was a little upset. He was using his brain, thinking about how to use Fang Jue's support to open a breakthrough from this double midfielder who obviously lacked interception ability.
However, Martin O'Neill did not expect that before he could find a way to break through the Ibiza goal, Ibiza would score first.
This is Gareth Barry passing back from the back to centre-back Davidson, who, faced with Lewandowski's pressing, opted to head the football back to goalkeeper Brad Guzan.
However, I didn't expect the power of the header to be a little weaker, and I watched a blue figure rush up. It was Royce who jumped in at a high speed. He caught up with the football before the goalkeeper Guzan, and then set the ball Passed the goalkeeper and kicked the football into the empty goal.
Martin O'Neill was stunned. He didn't expect the team to lose the ball so early, and it was in such an absolutely low-level mistake.
He was caught off guard.
...
After leading 1-0 in the away game, Ibiza began to play the control ball slowly.
And Fang Jue's role in pushing out the brand-new double midfielder combination of Mark Krozas and Modric was reflected at this time. These two players have the ability to organize and hold the ball. Deisler retreated from time to time to respond, which greatly improved Ibiza's ability to control the ball. Most of the time, the football was at their feet, and Aston Villa even grabbed the ball for a while. less than.
Modric, Korosas and Deisler frequently delivered shells for Lewandowski. In addition, Mata and Royce were also constantly tearing Aston Villa's defense on the two wings. Stone Villa's defense was under a lot of pressure for a while.
Moreover, I don’t know if it was because of the premature loss of the ball that affected the players. The Aston Villa players’ game state today is indeed a bit bad. The players made more mistakes than usual, and even began to appear. Unforced pass error.
In the twenty-fifth minute of the game, Aston Villa's gate was pierced again.
"Gooooooooooooooooooooooool!"
"Lewandowski! Lewandowski! Lewandowski! He scored, a very funny goal of luck!" Dolores shouted. Come to a conclusion, when the player's scoring feeling, state and luck are also good, it is difficult for you not to score."
The live broadcast screen is replaying the goal. This is a through ball sent by Modric. With his back, Deisler used his heel to make a smooth pass. Lewandowski turned offside and went into the penalty area, facing the attacking goalkeeper. Guzan, he shoots.
Lewandowski, who had just finished shooting, was knocked down by defender Davis who was chasing back. After the football was thrown by goalkeeper Guzan, it bounced off the post and bounced back. At this time, Lewandowski fell to the ground Dowski was just about to get up, he just looked up, the football hit Lewandowski's forehead, rebounded, and bounced into the net...
This is what the commentator said, the feeling and luck of scoring a goal, it is difficult not to score a goal, no, the goal came to the door by itself.
