Chapter 403: The Person Favored by the Goddess of Luck

At the end of the first half, Aston Villa trailed Ibiza 0-2 at home.

When the referee's whistle blew, Aston Villa coach Martin O'Neill frowned and went straight back to the locker room.

For the first half of the game, he just wanted to say one thing, Ibiza was so lucky.

After half-time, before the start of the second half, Martin O'Neill made adjustments to the team. He put Bermuda striker Marlon Halewood on the field and replaced midfielder Gardner.

This is a very courageous substitution, replacing a midfielder with a center forward. Now Aston Villa is playing a three-forward tactic.

"It's actually a double-center tactic." Fang Jue said to Ceballos, "Halwood and Karoo are two high points, and Abanglahuo's position is slightly retreated. He and Ashley Young form a double-sided forward. These two deliver the shells."

This substitution was somewhat effective at the beginning, especially when Ashley Young suddenly showed his power and sent a cross from the wing. Obviously, this was Martin O'Neill's deployment during the halftime break, which inspired Ashley Young's side Look for Carew and Hale Wood in terms of assist ability. You must know that Ashley Young is one of Aston Villa's biggest players now, and it is said that he has attracted the attention of Manchester United and other giants.

Fang Jue was taken aback, and then he saw Ashley Young using his speed to repeatedly hit the defense zone of Boulah Luz, and the football was hoisted into the penalty area by him-flying from the left to the right. The zone, or directly flew out of the bottom line, out of the sideline.

Anyway, where there are no Aston Villa players, where will the football fly.

Fang Jue was stunned. In just ten minutes, Ashley Young sent four crosses, all of which avoided his teammates perfectly.

...

"What is Ashley Young doing? Is he practicing a bobo ball game?" the commentator couldn't help asking.

"My grandma is also more reliable in passing the ball than Ashley Young." Sky TV's gold-medal commentator Mortensen, who commented on the game, said unceremoniously and sarcastically.

Fang Jue immediately made a substitution, Clement came off the bench, and he replaced Modric.

Then, the substitution worked wonders, with Ashley Young trying to break past Bolarouz again, Clemente double-teaming and stealing the ball from the England international, and Ibiza hitting a swift counter-attack.

Korosas sent a long pass, Lewandowski headed forward and then slid, Satnett tackled to make a clearance, but accidentally knocked the attacking goalkeeper Guzan to the ground, and then, everyone saw Ibiza's Mata even froze for a second, then happily dribbled the ball to the goal and hit the football into the empty goal.

Ibiza took a three-goal lead.

...

Martin O'Neill felt like he was going crazy.

Players made mistakes constantly, and accidents continued on the field. He wondered if Aston Villa was cursed.

The camera captured that when Mata scored this lucky gift package goal, Ibiza's coach Fang Jue did not immediately celebrate on the sidelines, but spread his hands, showing a look of surprise.

"Obviously, Fang Jue was also stunned. He didn't expect Aston Villa to give gifts frequently."

In the chairman's box of the Villa Park team, the American owner of Aston Villa has a bad face. Aston Villa has performed very well recently, and his financial pressure has also eased. Mr. Lerner is in a good mood and invited some Friends came to watch the match, and Mr. Chairman, who was in high spirits, bragged to his friends, please watch the Premier League third and La Liga first, and then...

A friend was comforting Randy Lerner, saying that the zero to three was not because of Aston Villa's lack of strength, but because of bad luck.

Randy Lerner nodded, reluctantly accepting this statement (fig leaf).

Aston Villa, who were three goals behind, launched an onslaught like crazy.

Although the team owner did not force the game to win, but the home defeat will definitely be very uncomfortable. Martin O'Neill is thinking about scoring goals now, trying to narrow the point difference as much as possible, and not seeking to win the game. If he can tie the score, he will Thank goodness for that.

Seeing Aston Villa's heavy pressure, Fang Jue stared at Aston Villa's empty defense line and thought.

Then, he asked Aubameyang, who had been warming up on the sidelines for ten minutes, to come over and teach him the opportunity.

"After you play, replace Deisler."

"Let Robert (Lewandowski) make the ball for you."

"We played defensively and counterattacked."

"Use your speed to hit their line of defense!"

When Aston Villa pressed up desperately, the most suitable defensive counterattack was the extremely fast Aubameyang.

Subsequently, Ibiza made a substitution, the team captain Deisler was replaced, and Aubameyang came off the bench.

...

"This substitution is very timely. When Aston Villa attacked aggressively, their defense was empty behind. For Aubameyang, this is really suitable." Dolores said.

Martin O'Neill also noticed the substitution, and he could guess what Fang Jue was thinking.

However, even though he guessed what Ibiza was going to do, there was nothing O'Neal could do, unless Aston Villa could accept a 0-3 loss and defend honestly, otherwise, as long as they pressed out, they would risk The back line may expose the hidden danger of being caught by the opponent to play the ball.

This is a gambling offense.

Martin O'Neill now hopes that Lady Luck can take care of Aston Villa and not give Ibiza a chance.

However, O'Neill's heart skipped a beat. When it comes to luck, Aston Villa's luck is really bad today.

...

In the 76th minute of the game, Aston Villa's frontcourt attack was intercepted, and Ibiza quickly played a defensive counterattack.

Korosas, who received a pass from Koscielny, did not choose to dribble forward, but looked ahead, and then directly kicked: long pass!

The football crossed the half-field and flew straight into Aston Villa's backfield.

"Empty!"

"A chance to fight back!"

On the right side of Aston Villa, right back Luke Shaw came up because of an assist, but he has not returned to the defense at this time, and there is a large open area.

Aubameyang is accelerating, with Mata behind him on the left and Reus in the middle.

In Aston Villa's penalty area, only central defender Davis was alone, and the other central defender Knight was desperately chasing back.

"Three-on-one! Ibiza has formed a three-on-one in a local area!"

Aubameyang caught up with the football first, and then he sprinted directly with the ball.

Aston Villa defender Davies charged forward bravely. He is now in a panic, not only to prevent Aubameyang's breakthrough, but also to prevent his pass and long-range shots... He thinks It is too difficult for myself.

At this time, for Aubameyang, the smartest choice is to pass to Mata on the left side, and Davis also mainly defends against this.

Then, he saw Aubameyang rushing towards him.

Well done!

Davis welcomes this. He has heard for a long time that this Gabon kid has rough skills and can't excel: this time, he wants to capture this kid alive.

Then Davis lost Aubameyang in front of his eyes.

...

"pretty!"

Before the two were about to touch, the opponent moved the football forward, then started it again, rushing past Davis like a gust of wind.

"Oh my god! Aubameyang! It's like riding a motorcycle! And he stepped on the accelerator when he met Davis!" Lineker exclaimed.

Then, everyone saw that Aubameyang, who had completed a beautiful breakthrough, entered the penalty area, faced goalkeeper Guzan, and volleyed!

Guzan slapped the football out, and Mata, who followed up, easily scored an empty goal again.

Four to zero!

Mata, who scored the goal, was very happy. He hugged Aubameyang, and the latter said to him loudly, "I actually figured it out a long time ago. The goalkeeper can just throw the football to you."

"I know, I know, I know," Mata said, laughing.

Aubameyang flattened his mouth and told him intuitively that Mata didn't believe him...

"God, Juan Mata, he scored two consecutive empty goals easily. He was favored by the goddess of luck today." The commentator shouted.

On the sidelines, Ibiza head coach Fang Jue was surprised at first, and then applauded from ear to ear, shaking his head while applauding.
