Chapter 782 God's World (Seeking Subscription Monthly Pass)
Aston Villa and Manchester City are old rivals who are very familiar with each other.
Therefore, the two sides did not try too much, and the game entered a state of high confrontation and fast pace from the very beginning.
Of course, this is also directly related to the 'nature' of the game.
Although the Community Shield Cup is also a relatively important final, its importance will still be underestimated in comparison.
For the Premier League teams, the greatest significance of being able to participate in the Community Shield is to have a high-quality real warm-up before the start of the league.
Aston Villa guessed wrong in the coin guessing before the game, so Manchester City won the right to pick a side, and Aston Villa won the right to serve.
Before the official game came, Fang Jue officially announced the captain of Aston Villa for the new season.
Midfielder Clement was appointed as the team's first captain.
The England international striker Abang Rahor, who was born in the youth training, is the second captain.
The team's current number one star Gareth Bell is the team's third captain.
Veteran American goalkeeper Friedel is the team's fourth captain.
Well, in fact, the second, third, and fourth captains are more honors. Considering that Clement is almost full attendance, there are not many opportunities for other players to wear the captain's armband.
...
The referee for this game is England Golden Whistle Atkinson.
After Atkinson blew the whistle to start the game, Aston Villa attacked directly, and they pushed the football into Manchester City's penalty area with three passes and two kicks.
Mane made a gesture to cut inward horizontally, and suddenly knocked the football, and Modric's right-footed arc kicked in after that, hoisted the football into the penalty area.
The German veteran Klose, who represented Aston Villa for the first time in an official game, felt great in front of the goal. He grabbed the football and completed a shot.
If it weren't for Kompany's excellent position and blocking the football with his body on the goal line, the ball would have been there.
Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart was unable to respond to the ball in time, thanks to the defender's goal line rescue.
"WOW - Kompany! He blocked a must-goal shot!" Lineker said.
There was a loud 'whoosh' from the stands of the new Wembley Stadium:
Aston Villa fans are sorry for the gasps.
Manchester City fans were huge exclamations.
"The defending Premier League champions Aston Villa threatened Manchester City with the first attack."
...
Subsequently, Aston Villa launched an attack from the sideline, Bell's pass was picked off by Joe Hart in the air, and Manchester City immediately launched a counterattack.
Their Spanish star David Silva dribbled in front of Aston Villa's penalty area, and suddenly sent a diagonal ball.
Dzeko came in from Kyle Walker and swept the ball in front of the goal before it was about to pass the baseline.
Balotelli shot from close range, and the football was bravely saved by Friedel.
"Friedel, great save!"
"Friedel, it's hard to imagine, this is a forty-year-old goalkeeper!"
"33-year-old Roberto Enke announced his retirement and entered Aston Villa's first-team coaching staff, while 40-year-old Friedel still made such a brave save on the court."
Fang Jue applauded from the sidelines, cheering for the veteran American goalkeeper's wonderful save.
In fact, after the transfer window opened, Friedel once found Fang Jue, who wanted to leave Aston Villa, and the next home has been contacted, which is Tottenham Hotspur.
Fang Jue tried his best to lobby, he hoped that Friedel could continue to stay at Villa.
Fang Jue said very frankly that De Gea is still very young and needs an experienced veteran like Friedel to sit and help him.
After Fang Jue's persuasion, the American veteran finally chose to stay at Aston Villa.
"After a dangerous attack by Aston Villa, Manchester City also played a brilliant attack immediately."
"Both sides did not plan to retain any strength from the beginning of this game..."
"We can already confirm that this will be a very exciting and intense game."
"Yeah, yeah, very exciting and intense... Both sides attack very fast... Aston Villa's attack, the pass, Modric shot from long distance, saved it - Kompany went forward , Manchester City's counterattack, Kolarov's cross, headed out, Yaya Toure's long-range shot - oops, hit the post! Aston Villa escaped!!!"
...
Yaya Toure held his head and didn't believe that his shot could bypass Friedel's ten fingers, but it hit the post hard.
The Aston Villa fans in the stands jumped up in shock. When they saw the football bypassing Friedel's ten fingers, their hearts were filled with chills. Fortunately, the post made a contribution.
Friedel was lying on the ground. The American veteran turned over and patted the post directly, thanking the post for its protection. He was really desperate just now.
After Kolarov's pass was pushed out by Senderos, Yaya Toure rushed up and shot when he won.
This shot was too sudden, and there were many people in the penalty area, which affected Friedel's observation line of sight...
Not only the fans of Aston Villa were taken aback, but off the court, Fang felt that his heart almost jumped out of his throat just now.
He saw the football passing the unprepared Friedel, and thought he was about to enter. Fortunately, the goddess of luck favored the team with a good-looking and talented coach.
Then, Fang Jue jumped into a rage on the sidelines.
"What were you thinking just now?"
"How can I get Toure to shoot where?"
When the Ivory Coast midfielder took a shot, Aston Villa's players were not able to intervene and fight in the first place. This is the problem.
Clement went to mark David Silva at the time.
Modric is stalked by De Jong.
At this time, there should be a defender pressing out.
The tacit understanding between Coulibaly and Senderos is still a little bit worse. One should compete for the top and the other should push out.
Or the full-back Kyle Walker, who is close to the right, presses up.
In short, this time the defense is not tacit enough, there is a problem.
Senderos, the backbone of Aston Villa's defense, raised his hand, indicating that he did not arrange the defense line well, and he will be responsible for the problem this time.
...
"Only a few minutes into the game, the two sides continued to have wonderful attacks, and the pace of the game was too fast." John Mortensen said, "After Aston Villa lost many main players, there are many young people in the starting lineup. It makes them play with more speed and aggression."
"For Manchester City, Mancini has shaped the team. The existence of Yaya Toure has supplemented the weakest link in Manchester City's midfield. This is why Manchester City was able to get fourth last season. the greatest guarantee."
"The pair of midfield partners of De Jong and Yaya Toure, after a season of running-in, made up for the shortcomings of Manchester City in the midfield, and ushered in a star like Aguero in front, it is worth looking forward to more " Lineker said, "With De Jong sweeping the midfield, Yaya Toure can attack and defend well. Manchester City's midfielder partner is great."
Fang Jue was also thinking about this issue.
The partner of De Jong and Yaya Toure has attracted enough attention from him last season.
Manchester City has De Jong.
Aston Villa have Clement.
Clement's body doesn't look very strong, but it is very strong and has a lot of energy.
Clement's defense has another point besides sweeping all over the field, that is, Clement's defense is very skillful. He seldom commits big fouls, rarely gets cards, and red cards are even worse. very rare.
De Jong's defense is based on his strong body and aggressive defense.
There is a saying among Chinese fans, "North Germany Rongnan Pepe", which Fang Jue knows.
With De Jong sweeping the midfield, Yaya Toure can focus more on offense.
This puts a certain amount of pressure on Aston Villa's defense.
Of course, Aston Villa's offensive is equally fierce, and the pressure they put on Manchester City is not small.
...
In the ensuing game, the two sides had offense and defense with each other.
Wonderful offensive scenes continue to appear.
Faced with this kind of pressure, the goalkeepers and defenders of both sides performed fairly well and did not make any mistakes.
The game lasted for nearly 30 minutes, and Aston Villa and Manchester City were evenly divided.
This can be seen from the stalemate and balance between the two sides in the midfield.
The double midfielder partnership of Clement and Modric, and the double midfielder partnership of Manchester City's Yaya Toure and De Jong are the most eye-catching performances on the court.
Clement protected Modric and Modric organized the attack.
De Jong protected Yaya Toure, who took charge of the organization.
Kicked well.
However, although both sides created a lot of offensive and scoring opportunities, the score on the court was still zero to zero.
"The game has been going on for more than 30 minutes... The game is still zero-to-zero. Time flies so fast. The two sides played very fiercely. Before you know it, half an hour has passed!" Lineker said in admiration, "This is a wonderful game, which makes the audience forget the time."
"I have a hunch that a goal is about to appear. Both sides have a chance to score, but unfortunately luck is a little bit worse. Now, it depends on who can seize the opportunity first, and which side will break this deadlock first. Which side will the balance of victory lean towards..." John Model said, "I'm still more optimistic about Aston Villa scoring first, they have this strength..."
As soon as John Mortensen finished speaking, Manchester City launched an attack.
...
This was originally an attack by Aston Villa. Suarez hit the wall with Klose outside the penalty area, and then Suarez's volley was blocked by Kompany.
Modric picked a pass in and the ball was ejected by Lescott.
After Kolarov got the ball, he launched a surprise attack.
He made a direct long pass from the back and found Balotelli in front.
Balotelli is a young player with a lot of criticism...
Fighting with rival fans, not being able to put on a training vest, fighting with teammates, shooting darts at one's juniors... these are the behaviors of Manchester City striker Balotelli.
Although the Italian fairy boy can sometimes have some amazing performances on the court, those problems off the court seem to be his focus all the time.
Balotelli is definitely an alternative player, the darling of scandal headlines in the media, and a problem player in the hearts of fans.
The media broke the news that when he was at Inter Milan, teammate Materazzi once slapped Balotelli in the player tunnel.
Then, Balotelli behaved for a while.
Maybe it’s because he didn’t have a rude man like Materazzi to educate him after he came to Manchester City, healed his scars and forgot the pain. After he moved to Manchester City, his negative news emerged endlessly, including his girlfriend’s best friend, rude breakup Text messages, strange hairstyles made him once the headlines of the British media.
Perhaps because he saw such and other problems in himself, this talented boy wanted to reform himself, so he wrote a letter of guarantee to Mancini.
But the good times didn't last long. The most outrageous thing was that he threw a dart out of the window at Manchester City's Carrington training base, and unfortunately it hit a young player of the youth team. And Balotelli explained afterwards that the training was too boring...
...
Closer to home.
"Beautiful stop!" Lineker praised.
Balotelli stopped the ball very beautifully, he didn't stop the football at his feet, which would stop the football directly.
He beautifully parked the football not far in front of him.
This allowed Balotelli to take advantage of the momentum to accelerate.
Then he changed direction at a high speed and passed Kyle Walker who hurried up to defend him.
"Aston Villa's wide defense has been breached!!!" Mortensen shouted. "Balotelli is still dribbling."
Balotelli looked up at the direction of the goal.
Then, Balotelli chose to change direction laterally and accelerate.
At the same time, in front of the door, Dzeko, who had been interspersed in place, raised his hand high: here! here! Pass here!
Senderos is defending Dzeko, he is firmly attached to the Bosnian.
Koulibaly defends David Silva.
The Spanish international was very nimble, running around in front of the goal like a rabbit. Coulibaly really wanted to pick up the rabbit's ears and grab him viciously.
...
Milner pounces on Balotelli.
His defense is very standard, he does not go up blindly, so easy to be passed.
Keep a certain distance, but this distance ensures that there is no room for the opponent to shoot from a long distance.
Yes, whether you look at it from the view of the audience in front of the TV or from the perspective of the commentary booth, Balotelli's dribbling is a bit procrastinated this time, and there is no good shooting angle.
Everyone thought Balotelli would pass the ball because he had nothing else to do but pass.
However, even though Dzeko's hands were about to be 'sore', and even David Silva's consecutive air-cut runs went back and forth twice, Balotelli still didn't pass the ball.
At this moment, Balotelli flicked the football with his left foot, and Milner went up half a step.
Balotelli pulls the football sideways.
At the same time, he raised his right foot and shot directly with one kick.
The football passed through the small gap between Milner's two tui.
Milner could even feel a soul-shattering cold wind passing over his balls.
At the same time, the balls hurt, and the insides of the legs are also numb.
Hit by football.
The power of this shot is not small, but when it is rubbed by Milner's body, the power becomes weaker and the speed of the ball slows down.
However, this shot was too concealed, and after being smacked, the line of the football also changed, and it bounced in front of the goal.
Then he got into the goal from Friedl who was caught off guard!
