Chapter 876 Battle Against Real Madrid (Seeking Tickets)

Villa Park Stadium.

Fang Jue and Mourinho shook hands. This was the first time the two led the team to meet. The media and fans were very interested in the first meeting between the two, and the camera gave a close-up.

The two chatted for a few words, and it seemed that they were having a good time.

Fang Jue smiled, and what he said roughly meant: National Derby, in fact, I support Real Madrid to win.

Well, to be precise, I support you, Jose.

Mourinho snorted, but with a faint smile on his face, the general meaning of his speech can be summed up: Come on, don't think I don't know your purpose.

Fang Jue: Bird, what you said is meaningless, it was you who provoked the psychological warfare first. By the way, how are you preparing for the game against Barcelona?

Mourinho: After winning Villa, I am in the mood to think about Barcelona.

Fang Jue: Go dreaming.

Afterwards, the two returned to their respective coaches' benches. However, neither of them returned to their seats in the coach's bench to sit down. Instead, they stood on the sidelines and waited for the start of the game.

Don't look at the two people communicating with 'smiles', in fact, they are quite nervous about this game in their hearts.

Aston Villa is the defending champion of the UEFA Champions League. In the last game, they slaughtered Barcelona 7-1, which shocked the world and made Mourinho quite vigilant.

Fang Jue had a headache. He didn't know if the team's fragmented defense could stop Ronaldo's leading Real Madrid attack group.

...

"The game is about to start. Players from both sides are ready to kick off in the middle circle. Let's broadcast the starting lineups of both sides."

"For Real Madrid, the goalkeeper is captain Iker Casillas."

"The defense line from right to left is Arbeloa, Pepe, Ramos and Coentrao."

"The midfield is Harvey Alonso, Khedira, Di Maria, Erda and Cristiano Ronaldo, and Benzema is at the front."

"The situation that fans wanted to see Kaka start did not happen, Kaka sat on the bench and waited."

"Compared to the relatively stable lineup of Real Madrid, the most concerned about Aston Villa is the choice of defense."

"Aston Villa's starting goalkeeper is De Gea. The young Spanish goalkeeper has secured the position of No. 1 goalkeeper. Aston Villa's old American goalkeeper Friedel is likely to leave Aston Villa after the season. Dunville."

"Aston Villa's central defender combination is Papastathopoulos and Strowman's partner. Today Fang Jue arranged for Strowman to play as a central defender. The performance of the Dutch midfielder in the central defender position deserves attention."

"It's Kyle Walker at right-back and James Milner at left-back."

"In midfield it's Clement, Modric, Mane and Bale."

"At the front there is a combination of Suarez and Abanglajo."

In the coin guessing session, Aston Villa's captain Clemente won against Real Madrid's captain Iker Casillas. Aston Villa got the right to pick a side and Real Madrid kicked off first.

In the shot, Ronaldo and Benzema are standing in the middle circle, waiting for the kick-off.

The referee Blüch from Belgium is communicating with the two line referees and checking the time through the headset.

Blüsch looked down at his watch, and then gestured to the fourth official that everything was OK.

It's time to tee off!

"beep--"

...

"The game is on, the game is on! Kick-off is Real Madrid, in their traditional white shirts, attacking from the right side of the screen to the left, and the home team, Aston Villa, in their traditional burgundy shirt."

Benzema kicked the football to Ronaldo, and the Portuguese passed the football back to Erdayan.

After a few simple kicks back, the ball reached Alonso's feet.

Alonso did not continue to pass back, but kicked the football to Di Maria who was leaning forward.

Di Maria tried to break through with the ball. He encountered Modric's interference and chose to knock the football to Khedira who came to meet him.

Khedira crossed Alonso, who immediately sent the ball.

Di Maria took the ball and broke through Modric's defense zone with a relatively simple pass and cut.

After Di Maria's dribbling breakthrough on the right side attracted Aston Villa's defensive attention, he suddenly knocked the football back to Er Dayan, who immediately transferred the football to Ronaldo on the left.

"Beautiful transfer of the ball. Real Madrid played very proactively from the beginning. They are very skilled in running and receiving, and they have a tacit understanding."

Seeing Ronaldo take the ball, there were boos over Villa Park.

There is no feud between Ronaldo and Aston Villa, and the fans don't hate him.

Just because Ronaldo is Real Madrid's number one star, fans naturally know how powerful he is, and hope to influence the Portuguese in this way.

"Block his cross!" Aston Villa goalkeeper De Gea roared.

Before the words fell, Ronaldo suddenly picked up his speed, changed direction and passed Kyle Walker, and then suddenly took a long shot.

This shot was so powerful that De Gea didn't dare to hug it, and directly lifted the football out of the crossbar with both hands.

...

Seeing that the football was saved, Ronaldo shook his head regretfully.

Benzema came to Ronaldo and comforted the Portuguese brother, "It's just a little bit worse, but it's already very good."

Benzema was running just now, and because Strowman was a guest central defender, he was not familiar with the position of a central defender, so he was almost thrown away by Benzema.

At this time, if Ronaldo passes the football, although it cannot be said that Benzema has a good chance to score, there is a chance to form a shot.

In this case, Benzema did not complain, but came to comfort Ronaldo as soon as possible.

Benzema can shoot and pass the ball, can be the main attack or assist, can be connected in series, and can be sidelined.

With such comprehensiveness, there are two of the current top scorers in football, one is Benzema, and the other is also on today's court, the Uruguayan Suarez wearing the Aston Villa jersey.

Mourinho applauded from the sidelines, and he could see that Benzema ran out of space. However, even in the eyes of Mourinho, who emphasizes discipline, Ronaldo has no problem choosing to shoot. He has the right to fire.

...

Corner for Real Madrid.

Di Maria drives the corner kick into the penalty area.

Ramos squeezed away Papastathopoulos and hit the goal with a powerful head shake. The football was slightly higher than the crossbar, which shocked the Aston Villa fans into a cold sweat.

Fang Jue was also taken aback.

After Senderos was injured, Aston Villa's defense's ability to prevent and control also plummeted.

In this summer transfer window, a top central defender must be introduced.

"Real Madrid's goal was threatened by Cristiano Ronaldo's long-range shot at the beginning of the game. Mourinho's tactics today are not conservative." Howe said.

"Mourinho's idea is probably to attack for a while at the beginning. If he can score first, take the lead, and hold an away goal, he will be happy." Zhang Lu said with a smile.

However, Howe soon realized that he had spoken too soon.

Afterwards, Real Madrid quickly shrunk their defense and told everyone that they were going to play Aston Villa's counterattack today.

Mourinho glanced at Fang Jue, who was standing on the edge of the home team coach's bench, and he was sure that Aston Villa would attack.

In the FA Cup semi-final against Liverpool, Fang Jue chose a large rotation just for today's game. Obviously, Fang Jue hopes that Aston Villa can win today's game.

It will be extremely difficult to be a guest at the Bernabeu. If Aston Villa wants to advance, they must try their best to win at home.

To win, you have to score goals.

Aston Villa's pressure to attack is inevitable.

For Real Madrid, who still have the second round of the game to "press the bottom of the box", it is the most suitable tactic to be more stable and methodical to fight Aston Villa's counterattack.

Of course, this is also Mourinho's best tactic.

...

Bale has the ball on the left.

Arbeloa clung to him tightly.

Suddenly, Modric moves to this side.

Bell made a move to pass the ball to Modric. Although he knew it might be a fake move, Arbeloa still had to move his body to intercept Bell's possible pass. This is the passive way of defensive players. At the end, they can only passively follow the offensive players to respond.

Although Aveiroa still kept an eye out and didn't throw his center of gravity completely out, Bell's starting speed was very fast, he directly wiped the football, accelerated, and passed Aveiroa's side.

Although Aveiroa quickly adjusted his center of gravity to catch up, he couldn't catch up with Bell who started at high speed.

"Pay attention to his cross!" Casillas was commanding the defense, reminding his teammates to be vigilant.

Suarez has a very keen sense of smell in front of goal. Although Abanglaho is not a prolific shooter, the Englishman is very strong and is quite bluffing in front of goal.

Bell did pass the ball.

But he didn't pass to Suarez and Abanglaho who were ready to outflank the spot in front of the goal.

He will feint a shot and pretend to pass the ball into the penalty area, but he pushes the football. Milner runs behind Bell and catches the football.

"Don't let him in the box!" Casillas shouted.

Pepe went up to meet Milner and held Milner firmly, not allowing the opponent to squeeze into the penalty area.

And Khedira came to defend Bell, preventing any further connection between Bell and Milner.

"Reassuring defense, Aston Villa's sports battle has stagnated and was forced to switch to a positional battle, Real Madrid's defense is very solid." Madrid's commentator praised.

Milner's forward route was firmly blocked by Pepe. He wanted to connect with his teammates but couldn't connect. In desperation, Milner chose to kick the football towards Pepe. The football bounced back and went out of the touchline. Milner calls for a throw-in.

A ball boy throws a football into the field.

Milner caught the football, but he didn't throw the sideline ball. Instead, he waited for a while until his teammates moved closer to this side before throwing the sideline ball.

However, although Aston Villa's offensive center of gravity is tilted to this side, and more people are involved in the offense, this also provides time for Real Madrid to further consolidate the deployment of the defense.

Subsequently, Aston Villa's attack failed in the end, the football went around and returned to the midfield, and Aston Villa fell into a stalemate of attacking the tough positions.

...

On the sidelines, ball boy Glarish sat on the ground watching the game, anxious about the team's offensive stalemate.

While anxious, the little guy was still thinking about it.

Then, there was another sideline ball on this side. Grealish threw the football to Abanglaho, who put down the football and walked away. It was Milner who ran over and threw the sideline ball.

Glarish frowned. He felt that Abanglaho had just thrown the sideline quickly. If he could fight Real Madrid for a counterattack, it might be a good opportunity.

However, Glarish didn't notice the movement of others, and he didn't know if this quick counterattack could be completed.

At this time, Pepe and Abanglaho collided in a fight on the court, and both fell to the ground at the same time, clutching their heads and screaming in pain.

The team doctors of both sides entered the field in an emergency, and the game was temporarily suspended.

"Hey, Jack." Behind the billboard, Zhang Yang called softly.

He's also the caddy today, picking up balls behind the billboards on this side.

The club often recruits youngsters from the youth team to be caddies, and they work in groups of two. For example, on the other side, Yang Fan is on the sidelines, while Kevin Li is picking up the ball behind the billboard.

"Hey, Zhang." Glarish quietly moved to the billboard, "Did you observe other people's running positions when I threw the sideline ball just now?"

The club recruits young players to serve as caddies, not to exploit child labor. In fact, the number of caddies is very tight.

Those who are transferred to be caddies on the game day will be assigned homework, observe the game from the sidelines, and report their own experience of watching the game.

"I don't think so." Zhang Yang said angrily.

The caddies behind the billboards cannot stand up and cannot see the game. Many caddies sit pitifully with their backs against the billboards, bored.

Of course, for the sake of fairness, caddies in a team of two will allocate the first and second halves, such as Zhang Yang and Glarish. In the first half, Glarish is on the sidelines and Zhang Yang is behind the billboard. To the sidelines, you can see the game.

"I have an idea, the team has not been able to break the deadlock, maybe we can help." Grealish said.

If someone else heard Glarish say this, they would definitely reply, "How can a caddy help, just be a caddy honestly", which is also normal.

However, Zhang Yang is different.

He is the most active among the Chinese boys in the selection team.

I was already bored behind the billboard, so it would be nice to have something to do.

Moreover, Zhang Yang and Grealish are playing very well now, and they know this guy quite well. He is a very talented and thoughtful kid.

Let's put it this way, don't look at Zhang Yang's usual bluster, in fact, he has a reasonable mind. He silently regards Glarish as his role model, and pays close attention to observing Glarish's actions. Why did he choose to do that? So if you choose, what is the probability of success, and how hard should you work to be able to do it.

Therefore, when Glarish said, "I want to help the first team score goals", Zhang Yang's first reaction was not to sneer or disbelieve, but to be interested: What the hell is this kid thinking? Play with me!
