Chapter 670 Too Tender

During the intermission, Fang Jue specifically told Bell and Mane to be more active on the wing in the second half of the game.

Facing Manchester United's defensive tactics, Aston Villa needs to pull the opponent's defense as much as possible on the wing, and it is best to use breakthroughs to draw the central defender out.

"You said, at the beginning of the second half, will Manchester United suddenly attack?"

Before the start of the second half, Fang Jue asked his assistant on the coach's bench.

"It's possible." Both Ceballos and Werner held this view.

"It would be great if that's the case." Fang Jue nodded. When an opponent like Manchester United is focused on defending, there are really not many ways to score their goals.

With Manchester United's offensive ability, if they attack, Aston Villa's defensive pressure will be great, but Fang Jue is not afraid of this.

Still the same sentence, Fang Jue has a lot of confidence in his players in the offensive section.

However, Fang Jue was disappointed. After the start of the second half, the Manchester United team did not attack as he hoped, and still played in an orderly manner.

Obviously, Ferguson learned the lessons of last season's loss to Aston Villa.

Facing Aston Villa's powerful offensive firepower, the first thing Manchester United has to do is defend.

The league is long, and Manchester United can accept a draw in this game, as long as the point difference is not widened by Aston Villa.

Manchester United is very experienced when facing mid-lower teams. Ferguson's plan is to chase points as much as possible in other games, and in the two rounds with Aston Villa, he must not lose to his opponent.

This is the safest choice for an experienced champion coach.

Fang Jue is different. What he wants is to beat Manchester United in this game and kill the opponent in a direct confrontation.

Manchester United played conservatively and safely, and Aston Villa could only continue to attack.

Aston Villa's continuous offensive finally knocked on the door of Manchester United in the 71st minute of the game.

Mane sent a cross, Shevchenko pulled out from the penalty area to respond.

He pretended to break through from the middle, but passed the ball to Bell on the left.

Bale broke through with the ball in succession, he attracted two Manchester United defenders, and then passed the ball under his feet to Ballack who was plugging in.

Ballack swung his foot and made a posture to shoot directly.

The German veteran's long-range shot is notoriously powerful, Manchester United's defensive players dare not neglect, Fletcher immediately rushed forward to block.

When Fletcher jumped up and blocked Ballack's shot with his back.

Ballack suddenly passed a through ball!

Mane receives Ballack's pass at the front of the box.

He crosses directly.

Shevchenko took the ball with his back, he slammed his heel, and when Diego Costa caught the ball, he took advantage of the trend and hooked the football, then turned around and successfully entered the penalty area.

In this way, the Manchester United defenders defending Costa did not dare to act rashly.

They are very aware of Costa's peeing nature. As long as you dare to take a step in the penalty area, Costa will dare to fall to the ground and ask for a penalty kick.

This guy isn't the type to pride himself on scoring goals.

Costa fiddled with the ball at his feet, and he was observing the running positions of his teammates.

Shevchenko has Raphael by his side, so he can't pass it on.

Bell is on the wing, so it's okay to pass directly, but in that case, the effect of this attack will be greatly reduced.

Costa decided to go it alone.

He set up with one hand, resisting Vidic's oppression, then dialed the ball with his left foot, suddenly took half a step forward, squeezed Evans away, and then swung his right foot, about to force a shot.

Evans is in a hurry, he is about to shoot, and he must not let the opponent succeed!

"No!" Vidic shouted.

It's too late.

Evans reached out and just pushed Costa behind, hoping that Costa, who was about to shoot, would lose his balance.

Unexpectedly, Costa immediately fell to the ground!

beep!

Referee Atkinson's whistle blows.

He ran up and pointed to the penalty spot.

At the same time, a yellow card was drawn to warn Evans.

Evans put his head in his hands and was extremely frustrated. During the intermission, Ferguson specially told him to be careful of Costa's tricks. He promised well, but at critical moments, he would forget everything when he was nervous. I just wanted to stop Costa from shooting.

Vidic was so angry that, in his opinion, Evans' dejected appearance was the last thing he should have done.

At this time, don't accept your fate, pretend that you didn't do anything, and appeal to the referee with an innocent face.

Although appeals are useless in most cases, what if the referee changes the penalty?

To be a man is to have hope.

Moreover, to take a step back, even if the referee insists on a penalty kick, as long as you behave innocent enough, the referee will doubt himself later.

He will subconsciously think that he has made a wrong judgment.

This is sympathy points.

Maybe the referee will turn around and award Manchester United a penalty.

Therefore, Vidic was very angry. He felt that Evans was too young, not only because of his reckless defense this time, but also because he couldn't act, which was a bad review.

"Evans didn't touch Costa at all," Vidic shouted.

Atkinson pointed to his eyes, then pointed to Evans, meaning, I can see clearly, and the way your partner looks says it all.

"Dive!" Ferguson jumped on the sidelines, "That guy flopped, he likes to do that the most! Shameless thing."

"Can you show some face?" Fang Jue shouted, "Pushing is so obvious, you call it a flop!"

"Shut up, I won't talk to you shameless guy." Ferguson tilted his head, ignoring Fang Jue.

...

"It's coming again, it's coming again!" Lineker laughed loudly, "Watching Ferguson and Fang Jue arguing on the sidelines is really... not enjoyable."

The TV audience laughed, what do you mean?

Do you have to watch the two of them fight to enjoy themselves?

Referee Atkinson insisted on a penalty kick, and he also issued a yellow card to warn the emotional Van der Sar.

For Aston Villa, Cuellar was also given a yellow card for secretly pushing Rooney. He will also be suspended for accumulating yellow cards and miss the next round of the league.

Diego Costa is standing on the penalty spot, and he is going to take this penalty.

Atkinson's whistle blew, Costa ran up, shot, and the goal was scored.

However, when the whistle sounded, Atkinson signaled that an Aston Villa player rushed into the penalty area before he blew the whistle, and a penalty kick would be severely penalized.

"Fuck!" Fang Jue swears anxiously on the sidelines.

Penalty kicks are a test of the mental quality of the penalty shooter, especially in such a critical game and such an anxious situation.

The pressure to retake the penalty will be very high.

Many players make mistakes because of nervousness when they re-take penalty kicks.

Atkinson whistled again.

Costa runs up and volleys from the right center.

This time, Van der Sar judged the right direction, and he threw the football. However, Costa reacted faster. Before Vidic made a clearance, he rushed up and shot the football into the net. .

"Goooooooooooooooooooooooooaal!"

In the 71st minute of the game, Diego Costa created a penalty kick by himself. After his penalty was saved, he scored a supplementary shot and rewritten the score to 2-1. Aston Villa once again exceeded the score.
