Chapter 743 Fifty-Nine Ings

Fang Jue didn't care what Tony Pulis said.

In fact, the gentleman's attitude is so low-key that it is suspicious.

Because when the two sides met for the first time in the league this season, Stoke City drew Aston Villa 2-2 at home.

Moreover, despite the fact that Aston Villa is unbeaten in fifty-eight games, but when facing mid-lower teams, you really can't take it lightly.

Look at Aston Villa's draw, when facing the mid-lower teams, they have the majority, but when facing the top six in the league, the winning rate is very high.

Moreover, the last time Aston Villa lost in the league was a 0-1 loss to Burnley in the thirteenth round of the league last season. What level is Burnley? This is the team that was finally relegated last season!

Therefore, before the game against Stoke City, Fang Jue repeatedly told the players not to be confused by Stoke City's "bow knees" and to be careful.

The players more or less listened to it. In the last game against West Ham United, their mentality went wrong, and they were scolded by Fang Juehao.

Even so, after the game started, the Aston Villa players were still surprised by the tough attitude and fighting spirit shown by Stoke City.

The very low-key "Castle in the Sky" before the game exploded with tremendous energy.

Although they didn't say anything before the game, they told everyone with practical actions:

They are eager to beat Aston Villa!

Eager to write his name in the history of Premier League and European football:

The reality is that whichever team can beat Aston Villa and break Aston Villa's unbeaten golden stature, they will really become famous, they will make headlines in the media all over the world, score goals The player's name will be known all over the world.

Tony Parker desperately encouraged Aston Villa's rival teams and players in the Premier League: To everyone-beat Aston Villa, you will become famous, and the chance to become famous all over the world has come!

...

"Gooooooooooooooal!"

"Jones! Jones! Jones!" Lineker's voice was filled with rising question marks and exclamation marks, "In the thirty-ninth minute of the game, a goal appeared. It wasn't Aston Villa who scored the goal, it was Stowe Stoke City! Jones scored for Stoke City!"

"Etherington assisted Jones to score! They led Aston Villa 1-0 away at Villa Park! The Stoke City people, who were unusually low-key before the game, took the lead!"

While the Stoke City players celebrated wildly, the Aston Villa players were frustrated and aggrieved.

After the start of the game, despite Stoke City's strong fighting spirit, the rhythm of the game was still in the hands of Aston Villa.

They have a higher possession rate than their opponents.

They also took far more shots than their opponents.

Under such circumstances, Aston Villa was scored by a quick counterattack from Stoke City.

This really made the Aston Villa players a little depressed.

However, the view of the commentator is different from that of the players.

"Although Aston Villa has a high ball possession rate and a lot of shots, they don't have a goal that can really threaten Stoke City!"

"On the contrary, on the defensive end, Aston Villa was a little too relaxed. Stoke City finally seized a counterattack opportunity and succeeded in attacking! Let's look at Fang Jue, he looks very angry."

Fang Jue was really angry. The players gave him the feeling that they responded to him with a seemingly positive attitude, as if saying: Boss, we have listened to what you said. Look, we are very positive. .

...

These guys!

Fang Jue's face turned livid.

In fact, Fang Jue was not as angry as his expression showed.

His anger is for the players to see, to tell them: I'm angry! Very serious consequences!

From the bottom of his heart, he was not surprised. When a team has become a habit of winning and has gone 58 games unbeaten, it will slowly develop inertia.

This is not a derogatory term, but a neutral term.

No one can be highly focused all the time, consistently.

A team with more than 20 players is even more impossible.

In addition, the performance of Aston Villa's players on the field also seems to be concerned about gains and losses. They are a bit too concerned about creating an unbeaten record of 59 games, but they are not as smooth and reliable as they are in their normal state.

To put it more deeply, Aston Villa needs a loss now, even if they lose a game, the unbeaten record will come to an abrupt end, and the team's state will return to normal.

Yes, Fang Jue doesn't think that his players have developed a sense of pride. Aston Villa is far from the sage moment of "after the climax, it's boring" after Inter Milan's triple crown.

Aston Villa has only won the Premier League once, and the dynasty has not yet been established, far from that level.

In his opinion, this is a kind of inertia, or to put it more bluntly and appropriately, it is fatigue.

Physical fatigue.

Physical fatigue.

Mental fatigue.

Even the fatigue from what they heard and saw, the media talked about Aston Villa's unbeaten record every day, the players were both excited and a little tired...

...

Fang Jue understood this.

He grasped these reasons.

However, this does not mean that he is willing to accept defeat and is willing to be unbeaten by Stoke City.

He wants to move on with Aston Villa.

When was it broken?

And wait.

When you really can't hold it anymore, whichever you meet at that time will be cheaper.

Still, he hasn't won enough.

To continue to stride forward.

At the end of the first half, the score was zero to one, and Aston Villa trailed zero to one at home.

During the halftime break, to the surprise of the players, Fang Jue didn't throw a tantrum and curse.

He just told the players a truth.

He understands the team is tired.

However, he cannot accept the team's loss to Stoke City.

"Why, defeating Aston Villa, such a great thing that has been recorded in history, should be cheaper for Stoke City people?"

The players were taken aback for a moment, and then the atmosphere became lively.

Yes, why should the Stoke City people be cheap?

How big are they?

And didn't send money to the women for Big Brother Vera, why should they be cheap? !

The atmosphere is right.

Fang Jue began to deploy tactics and detail adjustments for the second half of the game.

...

At the start of the second half, Fang Jue made a substitution.

He replaced Vardy, who performed relatively mediocrely today, and replaced him with Abanglaho.

In today's game, Fang Jue made a certain rotation.

Up front are Suarez and Vardy.

Both Ronaldo and Abanglaho are sitting on the bench.

In addition, the midfielder is Albrighton starting, replacing the team captain Deisler.

Clement also did not start, Sidwell started.

Bale also sat on the bench, with Milner playing left midfield.

The only reason for a substantial rotation is to save energy for the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final against Manchester United three days later.

However, the score of zero to one in the half and the impressive performance of the opponent in the first half of the game made Fang Jue dare not be careless, and made adjustments decisively in the midfield.
