Chapter 957 Professor, You Have Changed
"Abanglaho!! Gabriel Abanglaho!" John Mortensen shouted in an exclamation tone.
"In the thirty-ninth minute, the deadlock was broken on the field, but it was not Aston Villa who scored the goal, but...Arsenal! Former Aston Villa captain Abang Lahor's explosive shot after successfully countering offside Score!!!"
He scored the goal of his favorite team that he has played for more than ten years. Abanglahor did not celebrate. He raised his hands, which means to express his apology to the fans of Aston Villa.
He doesn't celebrate, but the Arsenal players are celebrating like crazy.
They rushed up and surrounded Abang Lahuo, cheering and shouting happily.
While the Arsenal players were celebrating wildly, the Aston Villa players were raising their hands, and someone was complaining to the referee Clattenburg that the ball was offside.
"Let's look at the ball, it's not offside! When Arteta passed the ball, Abanglaho was level with Senderos, the last Aston Villa player."
"Onside, it's a good goal... Actually, when the game started, the away Arsenal players performed better than the home team Aston Villa."
"For the UEFA Champions League match against Montpellier in the middle of the week, Fang Jue rotated most of the main players, just for this league match against Arsenal... I am afraid that Fang Jue did not expect that after rotating too many players, their state seems to be affected ..."
"The goal was scored by Abang Lahuo. Moreover, Abang Lahuo has scored six goals in Arsenal, including five goals in the league. I don't know if Fang Jue will regret letting him go now. Bunlaho."
...
Fang Jue frowned.
Fang Jue was a little upset when Abang Lahuo broke the old goal, but he didn't regret letting Abang Lahuo go.
From the perspective of competition, Abang Lahuo's speed and his characteristics are indeed appreciated by Fang Jue.
However, Fang Jue has been irritated by Abang Lahuo's undisciplined behavior after repeatedly smoking hookah and partying all night.
The reason for his frown is that the team's state is not good.
Not long after the game started, he felt that the players were not in good shape today.
It's not that a certain player is not in good shape, but that almost most players are not in good shape.
This is more difficult.
There are good times for players and bad times.
You can't expect everyone on a team to be in great shape.
Some are good, some are not.
However, when most of a team's players are in good shape, the team's state can remain excellent.
The most fearful thing is that most of the team's state is at a low ebb at the same time.
Playing against Arsenal turned out to be one of Fang Jue's most confident games.
Unexpectedly, he encountered a poor state of his own side.
Moreover, Fang Jue has to admit that Arsenal are in pretty good shape today.
One side is in good form and the other is not in good form. Under the ebb and flow, this is definitely the worst half-time game Aston Villa has played since the beginning of the season, even worse than being forced by newly promoted West Ham United in the first round of the league. Flat games are played even worse.
...
The score in the first half of the game was zero to one, and the home team Aston Villa trailed the visiting team Arsenal zero to one.
When leaving the field, Wenger in the camera was all smiles, and the professor's eyes were slowly filled with joy.
Three and a half years, three and a half years.
Arsenal have been bullied and rubbed by Aston Villa all the time, how many times have we played such a good half-time game?
Not only is the score leading, Arsenal also has a certain advantage on the field.
For more than ten days, the entire Arsenal team has been training hard and rehearsing tactics, just for today's match against Aston Villa.
The professor should be ashamed.
God is sorry, see the dawn of dawn.
During the intermission, Fang Jue scolded everyone in the home team locker room at the St. Andrews Stadium.
"What did you play in the first half?"
"I really want to pull all of you to do DNA testing. I really doubt that my players were replaced overnight by aliens."
"If there are eleven substitutions, I can't wait to replace them all in the second half of the game!"
"This game must be won by me!"
"Did you hear me!"
"Kicking Arsenal, we have always held hands!"
"Are you going to destroy our habitual link with Arsenal?"
"Be serious for me in the second half!"
"Win! I want to win!"
Fang Jue didn't talk too much about tactics. There is no problem with tactics, but the players have problems.
Not just a scolding meal.
At the beginning of the second half, Fang Jue changed three players in one go.
It is rare for a manager to use up three substitutions at half-time without an injury factor.
Because this is a crazy risky behavior, if a player is injured in the second half of the game and there are no substitutions at that time, then there will be a big problem.
Fang Jue used such a crazy way to express his opinion to the players on the field. What he said was not just for words, he could not wait to replace the starting eleven!
Japan international Shinji Kagawa, who was limited by Arsenal's Sidwell, who barely performed, was substituted and Vardy came on as a substitute.
Fairly average Kyle Walker was replaced and Thornton came off the bench.
Hamei was replaced and Mane came off the bench.
Mane has just recovered from his injury. He has only conducted training and confrontation matches in the team before, and has not played a game yet.
Fang Jue originally planned to let Mane play in the "garbage time" of the second half of the game to feel the atmosphere of the game and find out the state of the game if the victory is secured early today.
However, in the current situation, he can only change the plan and let Mane take the order in the face of danger and make an early appearance.
...
After being scolded by Fang Jue, three new players who were in good condition in training and previous games were replaced. After the start of the second half, the state of the Aston Villa team has obviously improved.
However, what surprised Fang Jue was that Arsenal played very tenaciously in today's game.
In the face of Aston Villa's fierce offensive, Arsenal's defense turned out to be quite resilient.
Arsenal's midfielders today, Ramsey, Chamberlain and Sidwell, these three players ran actively, spared no effort in stamina, intercepted ferociously, and restrained Aston Villa's attack to a certain extent.
Not only that, in the second half of the game, Arsenal was obviously playing a defensive counterattack.
Wenger's team played defensively and played very conservatively, which can be said to be very rare.
Fang Jue glanced at the professor at the coaching bench of the visiting team, professor, professor, do you really want to beat me that much? In order to win me, don't you even want the beautiful football you have been insisting on?
Professor, you have changed.
Fang Jue was suddenly very troubled to find that the professor put down his airs and turned out to be a man of action, just like himself.
Facing Arsenal's tenacious defense, Aston Villa was still unable to score.
As the game time passed, as the end of the game approached step by step, many people were already discussing whether Aston Villa was going to lose to Arsenal:
They lost away to Manchester City in the last round of the league.
If we lose to Arsenal at home again today.
This is a two-game losing streak!
Aston Villa's two-game losing streak in the league?
Is this the beginning of Aston Villa's decline?
Have you opened your eyes?
Is this the Great Qin Iron Curtain shrouded in front of the Premier League countries about to be torn off?
...
In the 81st minute of the game, the score on the court was still zero to one, and the home team Aston Villa fell behind.
The reporters have already begun to draft in their hearts.
"...After losing to Manchester City and then losing to Arsenal, Fang Jue's Aston Villa suffered an unprecedented two-game losing streak. Started to go downhill, and even the beginning of the collapse of the dynasty? The rise of this team was too sudden and too strong. Now, is the Premier League finally going to return to its original state?"
This is the media who have long expected the end of Aston Villa.
"Two losses in a row, this is the first time Aston Villa have lost two games in a row, three and a half years, the first time Aston Villa have lost two games in a row, this should not be regarded as a failure for Aston Villa , On the contrary, this is a proof that this team is extremely strong, we believe that two defeats will not be a problem, because we have the most successful coach Fang Jue in football, and he has a great victory factor!"
This is Birmingham Media.
"Aston Villa may think they can easily beat Arsenal, because they are used to easily scoring points on Arsenal, but this time, Wenger's brave opponent said 'no'!" - this It is non-English media.
At this moment, on the pitch, Modric holds the ball in midfield.
Aston Villa tried to launch another attack.
Modric finds Ibrahimovic in front with a through ball.
Koscielny and Chamberlain pounced on Ibrahimovic at the same time.
"Ibrahimovic! He's surrounded...beautiful!"
John Mortensen shouted excitedly.
When Koscielny and Chamberlain rushed forward at the same time, Ibrahimovic made a gesture to stop the ball, but he used his heel to knock Modric's pass directly to Vardy who came to respond.
This directly blew Koscielny and Chamberlain.
It doesn't matter if these two people rushed into the air, the important thing is that a blank area suddenly appeared behind the two of them.
There was a defensive player in front of Vardy. He did not choose to rush and immediately passed the football to the ribs.
He himself turned and ran to the door.
...
"Mane! Free time!"
Mane, who received the ball, immediately started to speed up, and he cut directly into the penalty area!
Arsenal's defense line was pierced at this moment...
After Mane rushed into the penalty area, he swung his foot to shoot, tricked Mertesacker into flying to block, but passed the football sideways to Lewandowski in the middle.
Gibbs crosses to block Lewandowski's shot.
The Poles were not greedy for credit, and calmly pushed the football horizontally.
"Jamie Vardy! He's unmarked now...he shoots..."
Arsenal's goalkeeper Szczesny tried his best to save it, but he was powerless in the face of such a close-range shot in front of the goal.
The football went into the net.
"Goooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaal!"
"Vardy! Jamie Vardy! He scored! In the 81st minute of the game, Aston Villa scored, one to one!"
"Aston Villa equalized the score! Arsenal led for nearly fifty minutes, and Aston Villa finally equalized the score!"
In the stands of St Andrews Stadium, Aston Villa fans jumped from their seats and erupted in loud cheers.
One to one!
The team avoided a two-game losing streak.
This is very important for this rising team!
The media reporters who were busy making drafts were also stunned.
Aston Villa equalized the score, and the drafts they had just now were useless.
"Shit!" A London reporter cursed angrily.
"It's just a one-to-one match, and Aston Villa only scored one point in two league rounds..." A reporter began to change his mind, and started writing again.
...
courtside.
Fang Jue jumped up from the coach's bench and raised his arms to celebrate the goal.
This goal is too crucial.
Fang Jue hopes that the team can win and win the game, and continue the friendly and familiar relationship between the team and Arsenal.
Taking a step back, this game must not be lost.
Those media have been trying to bad-mouth Aston Villa. Aston Villa has a little trouble, and all kinds of monsters and ghosts come out. Fang Jue sneers at this. He knows his team best, and he knows best Have confidence.
However, no matter how you look at it, a two-game losing streak is a setback and should be avoided as much as possible.
The professor was a little lost and a little depressed.
He almost thought that Arsenal could win the game 1-0, and he would only feel once if he could win. This would greatly help Arsenal's morale and self-confidence.
Now that the score was equalized ten minutes before the end of the game, Wenger was naturally disappointed.
A one-to-one draw is barely acceptable.
The professor did not fall into the mood of loss and depression, he immediately started to work.
Arsenal request a substitution.
The young French midfielder Coquelin came off the bench and replaced Arteta.
Fang Jue glanced at Wenger and frowned. Wenger was trying his best to keep the tie.
Coquelin, Sidwell, Ramsey and Chamberlain are all defensive and aggressive.
Even to a certain extent, this is a "four defensive midfielder" midfield configuration.
The professor's adjustment is very timely and effective.
Aston Villa's offensive momentum has once again been contained to a certain extent.
Eighty-eight minutes into the game, the score was still one to one.
"One to one, this is probably the score of this game. Aston Villa has not won two rounds, which gives Manchester United and Manchester City a chance to catch up."
Even the Aston Villa fans gave up, finding a one-to-one draw acceptable.
However, the Aston Villa players on the field did not give up.
At this time Aston Villa launched an attack.
Thornton assisted to the frontcourt. He received a long pass from Clement. He made a gesture to pass from the baseline, but suddenly cut inside.
This attracted Arsenal's defensive attention.
Thornton knocked the football to Modric.
Modric swung his right foot and made a gesture to shoot.
Coquelin jumps up to block the shot.
"Look at them!" Szczesny shouted, signaling his defenders to pay attention to Lewandowski, Ibrahimovic and Vardy in the penalty area.
At this time, it is not an exaggeration to use the word 'overcrowded' to describe Arsenal's penalty area.
Modric pushed the football, Milner rushed up, and the England midfielder also made a long-range gesture.
More defenders pounce on Milner.
He suddenly sent the football to the space in the ribs!
Arsenal's defensive focus is on the ball holder and Lewandowski in the penalty area, so there is a sudden blank area:
No Arsenal players.
Also no Aston Villa players.
To be exact, it wasn't there when passing the ball, but now it is:
"Mane! It's Mane! Mane!"
Zhan Jun shouted, and the sudden shout shocked many spectators watching the game in front of the computer.
Zhan Jun couldn't help but be so excited.
Because Mane got the ball without marking!
After receiving the football, Mane cut directly into the penalty area.
In the case that the angle was not too big, Mane did not hesitate and shot decisively.
In the overcrowded penalty area, you can have such a shooting opportunity and angle. You can't ask too much. Hurry up and finish the shot first.
The moment the football was shot, Mane felt a little flustered, and his kick didn't feel very good.
He wanted to bypass the goalkeeper, but when his right foot touched the football, he missed the point of focus.
Then, he saw the football pass by the narrow gap almost from the goalkeeper Szczesny's right arm, hit the inside of the post, and then bounced off the upper end of the goalkeeper's right arm and fell into the the net.
The ball actually... went in!
