Chapter 482 Fang. Cute. Shocked. Feeling
After the referee Atkinson's whistle sounded, Abanglaho took two or three steps to run up and volleyed!
Although the angle and speed of this shot were not outstanding, Abanglahuo tricked the goalkeeper.
Abang Lahuo kicked to the left, and the goalkeeper Shay rushed to his left.
"Goooooooooooaaaaal!"
"Goal scored! 1:0! Aston Villa is ahead of Manchester City at home!"
Huge cheers followed from the stands at Villa Park.
Led by the live broadcast at Villa Park, fans chanted Abanglahor's name.
For this Aston Villa youth training player, Villa fans like it from the bottom of their hearts.
Abanglahuo ran to the side of the stands, shouting and celebrating, and behind him were his teammates running.
On the sidelines, Fang Jue vibrated his arm vigorously.
"This kid's shot is not bad. I was really worried that he would miss the free throw just now." Steven Warner said.
"Cunning little guy." Fang Jue chuckled. He guessed that Abang Lahuo had deliberately shown a tense posture just now to confuse the experienced Ji Wen.
"Fang, our luck is really good." The assistants said excitedly. A clearance ball was converted into an offense, and then in a staggering situation, we got a penalty kick and a red card. This is luck.
"Well, my luck has always been good." Fang Jue nodded, he has always believed that a humble, low-key, pure and kind person will have a good character.
...
While the Aston Villa team celebrated the goal, Mark Hughes pestered the fourth official and protested to him about the referee's decision.
Mark Hughes questioned the penalty and he also questioned Bridge's red card.
"This is an unfair penalty!" Mark Hughes shouted.
The fourth official kept a straight face, and he sternly warned Mark Hughes to be careful, and don't talk nonsense without conclusive evidence.
"If you have evidence, you can submit a report after the game, but, for now, please shut up, Mr Hughes."
Mark Hughes snorted resentfully and walked back to the coach's bench.
"Mark Hughes was protesting just now. He was dissatisfied with the referee Atkinson's penalty." Lineker said, "However, to be honest, there is no problem with the penalty kick, and there is no problem with the red card."
"If Hughes really wants to complain, let's complain about their own bad luck." Tony Parker also shook his head and said, "This will give Aston Villa a big gift package of penalties and red cards. Manchester City's luck is really bad. .”
"Now, here comes the question, one less player, behind zero to one, how should Manchester City play? Hughes needs to make adjustments as soon as possible." John Mortensen said.
...
Fang Jue didn't have the time to pay attention to the quarrel between Mark Hughes and the fourth official. He was thinking about how to play when the team led 1-0.
Now his side are one goal ahead and City one less.
The odds are in Aston Villa's favour.
"We have to be careful about Manchester City's counterattack," Ceballos said beside him.
This Manchester City team is strong and full of stars. Even if one person is missing, it should not be underestimated.
Fang Jue nodded, "I agree with you, Saul."
Fang Jue walked to the sidelines, and he shouted the name of the team's field captain Cuellar.
Cuellar looked over.
Fang Jue immediately made a gesture of pressing down, reminding the players to be steady, not to wave, to maintain a normal mind, and not to float up because of one more person.
Cuellar made a 'received' gesture, and then shouted loudly, conveying the coach's tactical intentions to everyone.
Fang Jue nodded and walked back to his seat.
Fang Jue has always agreed with a point of view. The most dangerous moment in a game, the moment when the goal is most likely to be conceded, is precisely when one's own team has just conceded the ball or just scored a goal. The opponent seized the opportunity.
"Do we need to make any changes?" Werner asked.
Fang Jue shook his head. At this time, in fact, he didn't need to do anything.
He just needs to wait for Mark Hughes to make adjustments, and then make an appropriate response according to the actual situation.
Mark Hughes to make adjustments?
That is for sure.
Bridge was replaced, Manchester City lost a defender, and Mark Hughes had to make targeted adjustments.
Whether it is to make frame skipping of personnel or adjustments in formation.
...
Mark Hughes quickly made adjustments. Instead of substituting, he arranged for Gareth Barry to play left back, and then Tevez's position was withdrawn. The Argentine, Ireland and Wright Phillips formed a three-for-one On the field, Robinho Robinho II and Adebayor are on the forward line.
This adjustment also stunned Fang Jue.
It's not that this adjustment is so awesome, how amazing it is.
But in Fang Jue's view, this adjustment is simply random, no, to be precise, it is suicide.
Mark Hughes enabled Manchester City to maintain a complete four-back system, but in the midfield, whether it is Ireland, Wright Phillips or Carlos Tevez, they are all pure offensive players.
With one less player in Manchester City, the midfielder does not even have a real midfielder.
Is this intended to rely on Wright Phillips, Ireland, Tevez, Robinho and Adebayor, the five major attackers, to score a few goals in one go and win the game?
"How confident he is in Manchester City's offense." Fang Jue sighed.
"Mark Hughes is taking a risk." John Mortenson said bluntly, "Such an adjustment will either result in a quick goal, or their defense will be more easily penetrated by Villa."
"I even expected that Manchester City might lose the ball." Lineker said more directly, "The midfielder lacks hardness, Manchester City is easy to be intercepted, and Fang Jue's team is the best at counterattacks. You can see it from his days at Ibiza."
...
"Counterattack! Don't forget to counterattack!"
"Seize every opportunity to counterattack!"
Fang Jue shouted loudly from the sidelines.
Although there is no evidence to prove his guess, Fang Jue still insists that the sooner the skill card is used, the better the effect will be.
Therefore, he is looking forward to the team's counterattack to be effective again as soon as possible.
This is the opportunity for Manchester City to get a free kick in the frontcourt.
Gareth Barry comes up to take the free kick.Free kick taken by Gareth Barry.
The football flew into the penalty area.
Adebayor tried to head the ball in, but Aston Villa's Germany international Enke was brilliant, striking early and knocking the ball out with a single punch.
Milner got the ball at the top of the penalty area, and he immediately passed the ball to Clement, who passed the ball to Quaresma on the right.
"Counterattack! This is Villa's chance to fight back."
Gareth Barry, who came up to take the free kick just now, was shocked and rushed back to defend.
Quaresma stabbed the football in time to Abanglaho, who was cruising to the right to meet.
Abanglahuo directly spread his feet and dribbled the ball forward at high speed.
"That's it again!" Mark Hughes said angrily.
In his opinion, Aston Villa's counterattack has no skills at all. If there is a chance, he will go directly to Abang Lahor in front of him. Using Abang Lahor's speed, he will go crazy after getting the ball.
Manchester City centre-back Kolo Toure went out of the penalty area to tackle Abanglaho.
Abanglaho tried to cut inside and pass the opponent.
Toure stretched out his foot and poked it.
The football was poked open.
Abanglahuo's strong physical fitness was reflected at this moment. He immediately fought back, and the two of them were fighting. Quaresma got it.
...
"Quaresma!"
The Portuguese star did not make a cross, but directly cut inside and dribbled the ball into the penalty area!
"Entered the restricted area!"
After seeing Quaresma dribble into the penalty area, there was chaos in front of Manchester City's goal.
"God, it's Milner!"
A burgundy figure rushed to the middle of the penalty area, ready to grab a spot.
This turned out to be Milner. He got the ball from his own half, instigated this counterattack, and even sprinted all the way from the penalty area on one side to the penalty area on the other side.
"Hey! This kid!" Fang Jue couldn't help but applaud, full of joy.
He likes such little calves.
Manchester City's defenders rushed towards Quaresma, ready to prevent his possible shot or pass.
"Block him to shoot!" Manchester City's goalkeeper Given shouted. He judged that the Portuguese wanted to show his shooting skills and would choose to shoot.
as predicted!
Before Shay could finish speaking, Quaresma shot.
Make an arc with your left foot.
In this regard, Shay was well prepared, he even made a pre-judgment action the moment Quaresma shot.
All of a sudden!
The football was kicked out by Shay.
"Nice save!"
"I threw it out—this—" Lineker's voice stopped abruptly, what did he see?
The football played by Shay hit the forehead of Milner who was rushing up, and the football bounced back and flew into the net.
...
"Goooooooooooooooooaaaaal!"
"Milner's goal! Aston Villa 2-0 Manchester City!"
"What can I say? The ball that Shay gave saved hit Milner on the head and it bounced into the net."
"Manchester City's luck is too bad." Lineker shook his head straight. "However, this conceded goal is not just luck. Manchester City's midfielder was completely penetrated."
"Yes, there is no defensive midfielder in the midfield. Aston Villa quickly passed the midfield, and the counterattack was accurate."
Mark Hughes was completely stunned. When Shay threw the football, he was about to raise his hands and cheer, and then he saw such an incredible scene.
"what happened?"
Fang Jue also got up from his seat all of a sudden, staring at the field with wide-eyed eyes full of disbelief.
Then, the fans in front of the TV all saw the cute and shocked expression of this young and handsome coach, and they seemed to be saying: This is also possible?
Ceballos hugged Fang Jue and shouted in his ear, "Fang, today must be our lucky day."
"This luck, no one else." Werner also laughed, "James (Milner) should buy a million-dollar lottery ticket."
In the end, at the end of the first half, Aston Villa led Manchester City 2-0 at home.
This is a score that no one thought of before the game.
Aston Villa, who is short of major generals, leads by two goals and also leads in numbers.
During the intermission, Manchester City coach Mark Hughes found the on-duty referee Atkinson in the player tunnel, and protested again against Bridge's penalty plus red card.
Atkinson listened patiently to the City manager, but rejected his protests, thinking he was right.
...
In the home team locker room.
Fang Jue praised the team's performance.
He encouraged the team to make persistent efforts in the second half of the game.
"Now, it's not us who are anxious, but Manchester City people."
"We have an advantage in numbers and scores, so we can play with a more relaxed attitude."
"Steady defense, wait for an opportunity to counterattack."
After explaining the tactics and exhorting the details that need attention, Fang Jue let the players move freely.
"There seems to be a quarrel over there." Werner sneaked over and said.
"kindness?"
Werner said that a staff member saw the door of the visiting team's locker room being closed heavily. Mark Hughes came out angrily, washed his face in the bathroom, and then walked back.
Fang Jue shook his head and said nothing.
Although he envied Manchester City's luxury configuration, he did not envy Mark Hughes. Obviously, with Hughes' coaching ability and resume, he couldn't hold back these stars at all.
Among other things, does Hughes have a cup championship trophy? Is there a top league title? Is there a UEFA Cup title?
Or to put it more bluntly, he felt that he could pat his chest and say that the team belonged to him and he was the boss. Mark Hughes could only envy him.
...
Before the start of the second half, Manchester City made a substitution.
Togo striker Adebayor was replaced, and French veteran Vieira came off the bench.
Carlos Tevez returned to the striker position, and Vieira sat in the middle of the midfield to strengthen Manchester City's midfield defense.
This substitution was fruitful.
Although Vieira is old, the experienced French veteran has carried Manchester City's previous "undefended" midfielder to a certain extent.
However, the situation of falling behind zero to two in the first half of the game, coupled with one less player, directly determines the difficulty of Manchester City's comeback.
In the 55th minute of the game, after receiving a pass from Robinho, Tevez took a cold shot and pulled back a goal for Manchester City.
However, soon, Manchester City made a mistake in passing the ball in the backcourt. After Ashley Young stole the ball, he made a pass from the bottom.
I have to say, the quality of Ashley Young's pass: hard to describe.
Ruud van Nistelrooy grabbed the spot in the front, what a good position, the football did not pass over, but directly circled in the air and flew behind Van Nistelrooy.
Ruud van Nistelrooy thought the ball could be passed, so he stepped forward to grab the point, and the football flew behind him, but the goalkeeper Shay, who was interfered by him, fell to the ground without touching the ball.
This also disturbed other Manchester City defenders. They never expected Ashley Young's pass to be so weird.
Then, people saw Quaresma rushing up and kicking the ball!
This time, the Portuguese finally succeeded in showing his shooting skills, and the football crossed an arc and rushed into the upper right corner of the goal:
Manchester City goalkeeper Shay Wen fell to the ground at this time and has not gotten up yet.
On the sidelines, Fang Jue opened his mouth wide, his eyes widened, his face was shocked, and then he was ecstatic, saying something loudly, and waving his arms vigorously.
