Chapter 811: Old Trafford Old Man Punching a Handsome Boy
What Howe asked about Zhang Lu caused heated discussions among the fans in front of the TV.
The general view is that Aston Villa is stronger than Manchester United in terms of offensive players in the midfield.
However, in terms of backcourt players, Manchester United is at least one grade better than Aston Villa.
The combination of Kyle Walker + Papastathopoulos + Senderos + Milner is indeed weaker than Smalling + Vidic + Ferdinand + Evra.
Especially the combination of central defenders.
The game has started ten minutes ago.
The two sides fought fiercely in the midfield.
This time it was Nani who tried to force his way across the wing, and Milner slid the ball out of the touchline with a beautiful sliding tackle.
Subsequently, Manchester United's throw-in kick was intercepted by Aston Villa.
It was Clement who completed the steal.
Clemente gave the football to Modric, to his Croatian team-mates to set up the attack.
Modric took two steps forward.
Carrick immediately came to press down.
After Modric and Mane, who came to meet him, made a wall-slamming cooperation, they passed the football to the left.
"Gareth Bell!" John Mortensen raised his voice and shouted.
This is the treatment of superstars. As the Premier League is currently almost recognized as the number one star, Bell will attract attention and expectations as long as he takes the ball.
Seeing Bale take the ball, Smalling immediately approached.
Then, he was passed by Bell with a sudden acceleration.
Subsequently, Bell continued to use his speed and technique to wreak havoc on the left. After he attracted the attention of Manchester United's defense, he suddenly transferred the football to Mane on the right.
...
"Precise passing, really beautiful!"
"Aston Villa is making full use of the width of the pitch, frequently tearing to attract Manchester United's defensive attention." Howe said.
"Look at them two!" Manchester United goalkeeper Lindegaard shouted at Suarez and Klose, he was a little nervous.
Suarez transferred to Aston Villa last winter. The Uruguayan quickly integrated into the team, and his performance was very stable and eye-catching.
And Klose, a veteran who was swept out by Bayern Munich, showed a surprising competitive state after joining Aston Villa.
"French Football" commented on the striker combinations of the Premier League teams, especially saying that Suarez and Klose's "old husband and young wife" partner is perfect.
Therefore, Lindegard did not dare to be careless, and shouted loudly to make everyone more vigilant.
Mane passes the ball.
As Lindegaard expected, he passed in front of the goal, trying to find the point under the outflank of Suarez or Klose.
This is a half-high ball.
Ferdinand got ahead of Suarez and kicked the football off the line.
Aston Villa's corner.
This is a tactical corner.
After a simple pass, the football arrived at Bell's feet. The Welsh star made a gesture to speed up the inward cut, but suddenly passed the football back diagonally.
Modric takes the ball.
He made a fake move to pass the ball while running, and Phil Jones, who was defending him, immediately moved his body to intercept.
Then when Jones realized that he had been fooled, it was too late to intercept.
The other Manchester United players didn't seem to think that Phil Jones would be passed so easily, so that no player could approach Modric in the first place.
This gave Modric a chance to kick.
The Croatian player even had space and time to adjust the football a little bit, and then shot directly with his right foot.
The football crossed a beautiful arc and flew straight to the upper left corner of Manchester United's goal.
Manchester United goalkeeper Lindegaard has tried his best to save, but when the football is about to reach the goal, there is an inconspicuous arc, which just bypasses his hands and spins into the net.
...
"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"
"Luka Modric! Great world wave! One to zero, Aston Villa leads away!"
"This is the second game after Modric returned from injury. He quickly recovered the state of the game before the injury, a beautiful goal!"
After the goal, Modric was very excited. He ran to the sidelines and hugged the coach warmly.
During the injury period, Fang Jue went to the hospital to visit him on purpose, and what he said to him made him recover from his injuries with peace of mind, which made Modric's physical and mental state recover very well.
Fang Jue laughed and patted Modric on the shoulder, "Good job, Luka!"
Aston Villa fans cheered excitedly in the away stands at Old Trafford.
Modric's goal gave Aston Villa a good start.
Aston Villa is hailed by many media and experts as the most difficult team to turn over. After Fang Jue coached Aston Villa, Aston Villa was rarely defeated when they scored first and took the lead. The opponent reversed, and the team was stable.
...
"Phil, what were you doing just now?" Manchester United goalkeeper Lindegaard complained to Phil Jones.
In his opinion, Jones was too easily passed by Modric just now, and the loss of this point directly led to the tearing of Manchester United's defense.
"If I don't go up to block, he will pass the ball." Phil Jones is also short-tempered, not only did not admit his mistake, but also replied.
Lindegard was angry, and was about to say something, but Ferdinand suppressed this 'infighting'.
"Be careful next time, don't pounce so hard all at once." Ferdinand put his arm around Phil Jones' neck and woke up.
Jones nodded.
He felt that the captain's words were tantamount to approving his robbing behavior. Of course, what Ferdinand said was right, his pounce was indeed too fierce.
The team concedes the ball.
His own players on the court seemed to have a quarrel because of this conceded goal.
On the sidelines of the coach's bench, Ferguson was trembling with anger. He shouted loudly, and there was a roar.
Fang Jue looked at this scene, and he thought that the old man with red nose and red nose was too cute to growl.
After scolding, Ferguson returned to the coach's bench.
He is thinking.
He thought about the loss first. Objectively speaking, the loss was a bit unexpected. Jones made a reckless grab and Modric played a wonderful world wave.
In the end, Ferguson concluded that the conceded goal was an accident and there was nothing wrong with his tactics.
Then, what Ferguson needs to consider is that if they fall behind zero to one, Manchester United's next game will be relatively difficult. In this case, how should Manchester United respond.
In the end, Ferguson decided that the team would continue to attack and use offense to play out Aston Villa's tactical intentions.
...
"Aston Villa were 1-0 up 15 minutes into the game and that seemed like a good sign ... maybe the game would be more open because of this goal," Lineker said.
Soon, Lineker knew that his 'wish' had come to nothing.
After a one-to-zero lead, Aston Villa quickly chose defensive counterattack tactics.
Manchester United faced Aston Villa's defense, and they didn't have many options.
After Modric's wonderful world wave goal, the game fell into the quagmire of fighting.
Defense, scrambling, turnovers, steals, counterattacks, fouls, melee.
This was the key word of the game in the next twenty minutes or so.
The two sides fought fiercely in the midfield, and it can be said that every inch of land must be contested.
Most of the time, the football wandered around the midfield, appeared at the feet of Aston Villa in a moment, and ran to Manchester United in an instant.
Thirty-eight minutes into the game, the score is still 1-0, with the visiting team Aston Villa leading.
Atkinson, the referee of the game, has shown three yellow cards.
Once Milner brought Rooney down and was shown a yellow card.
Once, Carrick shoveled Bell and was warned by a yellow card.
This penalty also aroused strong dissatisfaction with Fang Jue. He believed that Carrick was drying his shoenails. This was a dangerous move from the side and rear, and Carrick should be sent off with a red card.
There was another time when Manchester United failed to attack. When Aston Villa fought back, Evra made a tactical foul and pulled Mane down. He was also warned by a yellow card.
...
Fang Jue sat on the coach's seat and raised his legs.
This situation is what he likes to see.
With the presence of Clement, Aston Villa's interception and fighting effects in the midfield are very reassuring.
In addition, Milner's position is also very active. When needed, Modric's position will retreat, and Milner will come up to help the midfielder defend.
This is a bit similar to Barcelona's side, Guardiola let Busquets retreat to the central defender in the middle, and let Mascherano press up.
As the game time wore on, it was United who were getting more and more anxious.
In the 41st minute of the game, the situation on the field changed suddenly.
Mane's pass was intercepted by Evra, who passed to Phil Jones as United tried to play off Villa's swift counter-attack.
As soon as Jones got the ball, Mane and Clement joined hands to press up.
This made the young man a little flustered.
He rushed the ball.
"The power is small! The steal! Beautiful! Aston Villa's counterattack!"
When Mane and Clement were pressing Jones, Suarez retreated very smartly, and then suddenly accelerated, cutting off Jones' pass from the middle.
"Excellent counterattack opportunity!"
"Four against three!"
Suarez passed the ball directly to Klose, who did not give Ferdinand a chance to get close, and he swept the ball to the left.
Bell accelerated into the penalty area, faced the attacking Lindegaard, and crossed the middle.
Suarez, who was interspersed in place, grabbed the front of Vidic and succeeded in shoveling!
...
"Goooooooooooooooooaaaaaal!"
"Suarez! A smart tackle, two to zero, Aston Villa leads Manchester United by two goals!"
"Two to zero! Manchester United fell behind by two goals, does Ferguson's team still have a chance to come back?"
"Jones again! The first goal was Jones' reckless tackle, this time it was the young man who made a bad pass. It was terrible."
"This should be Aston Villa's focus on playing Jones. Fang Jue's tactics have succeeded again." John Mortensen said.
The narrator could see it, so how could Ferguson not see it.
When the first goal was conceded, because it was a long-range shot, there were some accidental factors, which did not arouse Ferguson's timely vigilance.
However, the second goal was conceded, and it was obvious that Aston Villa suddenly pressed Jones with all their strength, which was premeditated.
Obviously, Fang Jue put the breakthrough point on Jones, a young player who played a guest midfielder.
...
Fang Jue unscrewed the bottle of mineral water, took a big gulp, then threw his neck back, gurgling, and spat it out.
Yes, Jones is his carefully selected, good kid who can contribute to Aston Villa's victory.
Jones joined Manchester United in the summer transfer window.
Jones at this time is really the absolute darling of Manchester United.
Ferguson once said publicly two months ago: Phil Jones may become the greatest player in Manchester United's history.
Yes, the objects of comparison here are George Best, Bobby Charlton, Giggs, Ronaldo.
This is obviously a crazy comment that can make people open their mouths. It can also be seen how much Ferguson loves this young man.
It's not just Ferguson, but the famous players of the Manchester United team also like and are optimistic about this young man.
Bobby Charlton also praised Phil Jones: He reminds me of Duncan Edwards.
This is an amazing evaluation!
Who is Duncan Edwards, the unfortunate victim of the Munich Air Disaster, who was only 21 years old when he died. He was the star of hope for the entire England and is considered to be the biggest loss in the history of Manchester United.
You must know that even Sir Charlton admitted that he would feel inferior in the face of Duncan Edwards.
And that's not all. When it comes to Phil Jones, there are many more people who compare him with celebrities.
England tell coach Fabio Capello that Phil Jones reminds him of Baresi and Hierro
Phil Neville said Phil Jones reminded him of Roy Keane,
Even Wilkinson came out and said Phil Jones reminded him of Robson...
Yes, Phil Jones has become the darling of Manchester United all of a sudden, even surpassing Ronaldo who just arrived at Manchester United.
suddenly.
For example, it seems that two years ago, Milan fans in China suddenly knew the name of a young Brazilian named Ganso.
In the era when news dissemination had not yet developed as fast as it is today, old Serie A fans held their newly-emerged smartphones to browse the Serie A news of Moorang Sports almost every day.
"Sister Fei" was madly infatuated with Gan Suo, and other media quickly caught up. Almost overnight, this young man from far away in Brazil became the "recognized" new Kaka.
...
Closer to home.
Manchester United likes Phil Jones so much. The reason is that it has something to do with Jones' versatile attributes.
This is also evident from what Manchester United and football legends praised him:
Baresi and Hierro - central defenders;
Roy Keane - midfielder.
Jones has played at centre-back, right-back, left-back and midfield.
In addition, this liking may also be related to the popularity of Jones' brave and fearless character.
Of course, there is another very important reason, that is:
Jones is an English registered permanent residence.
Fang Jue is not superstitious about this. Facing the overwhelming praise for this young Manchester United player, Fang Jue's wise gaze penetrates the fog of grass to the core: Jones, who does not have a fixed position, seems to be very good, but in fact he is not in a certain position. This position demonstrates a reassuring level.
At least, from Fang Jue's point of view, this young man is still immature.
Compared with Carrick, another defensive midfielder, it is obvious that Jones, who is currently popular, is easier to bully.
Fang Jue didn't mind teaching this young man who had never been beaten by society a good lesson.
...
Now that it is confirmed that Fang Jue will target Jones.
Naturally, Ferguson could not remain indifferent.
He told Carrick to help Jones more and relieve Jones' defensive pressure.
However, this approach did not work well.
The reason is straightforward: Carrick has a yellow card, and he has more energy than energy.
"Bell! Beautiful! He suddenly moved to the middle and passed Phil Jones with speed."
"Smash! Mane, he passed Jones!"
"Modric, crotch piercing! Jones has been piercing the crotch!"
"Suarez! Pull the ball and turn around, poor Jones is passed!"
"Klose, wow, this is the experience of a veteran, he missed the ball directly, Jones was tricked!"
"Obviously, Fang Jue is determined to play Jones' tactics. So far, the effect is quite good. Not only is Jones in a mess, but other Manchester United players have to frequently come to help Jones fill in."
"Poor Jones, he must be yelling now: why did you do this to him!"
Even the commentator watched this scene and felt that Aston Villa's behavior was a bit 'too much'.
Ferguson was hesitating. He could clearly see that facing Aston Villa's powerful attack group, Jones was tortured a lot. It would be good to describe it as being exhausted. This young man on whom he had placed high hopes was on the verge of collapse.
At this moment, Suarez retreated to take the ball, and he directly passed Jones with the ball, which directly forced other Manchester United players to rush towards him like iron filings absorbed by a magnet.
Subsequently, Suarez passed the ball, Klose made a diagonal pass, Gareth Bale succeeded in countering offside, cut inside the penalty area and then rubbed a shot from the far corner.
Three to zero!
In the camera, apart from the figure of Gareth Bale running and celebrating excitedly, there is also the background of Jones covering his face with his hands and kneeling in the field... The child was beaten to the point of collapse.
...
Ferguson looked at this scene with a livid face.
Zero to three, he no longer cares about the outcome of this game, what he cares and is angry about now is his lover.
After being hit so crazy and inhumane, he was very worried about whether it would cast a shadow on Jones.
You must know that many talented young people are devastated because of a very embarrassing failure.
At the end of the first half, Aston Villa led Manchester United 3-0 at half-time.
In the player tunnel, in a relatively hidden corner, Ferguson finally blocked Fang Jue after waiting for the players to pass by.
An angry Ferguson asked Fang Jue, if he treated a player in such a cruel way, wouldn't he feel guilty if he ruined a genius?
As soon as Fang Jue heard it, he knew that the old Scottish man was really angry and lost his mind, otherwise he would not have said such things to question him.
"This is Manchester United's genius, not Villa's." Fang Jue is not afraid of Ferguson, he has no psychological burden on this matter, so what happened to your Manchester United genius? Can't beat? Can't scold?
Wherever this matter is put, he is justified. This old man is making trouble out of anger.
The old Scottish man looked at Fang Jue, who was staring at him unceremoniously. Hearing this, he also knew that under his anger and impatience...
However, Ferguson will not admit his mistake.
"Hmph." The old man snorted.
"I tell you, Fang, I'm very angry."
"Besides, I'll help you train players, and you have to thank me."
The two spoke almost simultaneously.
Then, the two stared at each other.
The first thought in Fang Jue's mind turned out to be: to strike first? Knock the old man down with one punch?
Fortunately, he didn't lose his mind.
At the same time, Fang Jue saw the old Scottish man visible to the naked eye, his face flushed and his nostrils panting heavily.
It reminded him of Angry Birds.
I rely on!
The old man is really going to explode!
Fang Jue turned around and ran away without saying a word.
Sure enough, a whimper was heard behind his ears, and the old Scottish man came after him waving his old fists.
"asshole!"
"Calm down, sir!"
"Stop!"
"No!"
Players and staff from both sides in the dressing room corridor of Old Trafford stopped to watch this scene, and everyone was stunned...
