Chapter 386

In the 22nd minute, Manchester City intercepted the ball in the backcourt, and the Aston Villa players counterattacked on the spot. Three people surrounded Toure, trying to intercept the ball at his feet.

Toure moved his body to the side, using his strong body to hold the player on the left, and then pulled the ball with his left foot, avoiding the No.2 player's counter-grab and winning a chance for himself.

When the No.3 player rushed forward, Toure had already strode the ball, took a big stride, and pushed forward.

From the opponent's siege and interception, Toure made a bloody way abruptly.

The fans who came to the away game applauded Toure's wonderful performance.

Even in the stands of the home team, there was some applause.

Toure's breaking out of the encirclement is simply the perfect combination of strength and technology.

Martin O'Neill rubbed his head in annoyance. This kind of player who can turn the situation around by himself is really a small team like theirs, and they really don't like it.

This means that many tactics have failed on him.

The front pinch was thrown away, and Villa's defensive midfielder could only meet him. He looked at Toure nervously.

He doesn't expect to be able to break the ball at Toure's feet, but as long as he keeps the distance and stops Toure from accelerating, he believes that the teammates who return to defense will soon form an encirclement circle again.

The opponent was not active in pressing, and Toure had more time to observe.

Lichtsteiner on the right has come up, Toure kicked the ball to the wing.

Lichtsteiner accelerated, and Toure passed the ball a little bit ahead of time, allowing Lichtsteiner to accelerate calmly.

Kicking the ball forward, Lichtsteiner jumped forward at high speed, dodging a flying shovel from the left back of Aston Villa. After landing, Lichtsteiner adjusted his rhythm and sent again. Force caught up with football.

But Villa's centre-back has come to defend and he is also very fierce.

Lichtsteiner kicked the ball with his right foot and made a cross just before the opponent's kill.

Shevchenko feinted down the middle and caught the attention of most of Villa's defenders, but the ball went over him and into the back post.

Pedro appears here, he is unmarked, and the next step is very simple.

Swing your legs and shoot.

The football wasn't fast, but it eventually rolled into the empty goal.

1: 1!

Manchester City equalized!
Everyone ran over to congratulate Pedro, but Pedro broke away from everyone with a smile and ran to Lichtsteiner, thanking the Swiss Iron Guard for his assist.

The down-to-earth Lichtsteiner has a down-to-earth smile.

After Trabelsi left the team, Lichtsteiner quickly took over the gun at right back and played his own style.

Plain and simple, dedicated to the struggle, always high-spirited, this is Lichtsteiner's style.

In more than two years, Duncan introduced a large number of players, and also transformed Manchester City's team style into a style where the whole team is focused on winning.

"Keep going, make another one!" When running back, Shevchenko raised his right arm high, encouraging his teammates.

After the re-kick-off, Manchester City's offensive was strong.

It's just that on the other side, Aston Villa was not affected much, and the team continued to maintain the tactics of actively countering and attacking hard.

Abanglahuo and Tang Ning gave full play to their speed advantage.Although Carew didn't score a goal, he still has the ability to interfere, and he will always make Manchester City's players notice him.

Of course, it's not too much attention. After all, a player like Carew is more like a mascot player to some extent.

But this mascot suddenly gained power this time.

On one of Aston Villa's counterattacks, right-back Beye's wide cross arced a bit low and was easily blocked by Thiago Silva.

Beye jumped up and passed the ball into the penalty area again.

The football was saved again by Diego Lopez, but the save wasn't far off.

There was chaos in the penalty area, someone's leg touched, and the football suddenly came to Carew's feet.

Karoo swept horizontally and hit the goal close at hand. This one can't be missed. The football bounced and flew into the goal.

2: 1!
After taking the lead again, O'Neill made several tactical arrangements, which gradually slowed down Villa's tactics.

After all, this is an FA Cup game. Everyone is working hard, and the ultimate goal is to win.

If it is a friendly match, O'Neill doesn't mind how much he plays, but in the FA Cup, O'Neill has to hold the reins tightly.

Villa is not a giant team like Manchester City, and they don't have the ability to overtake again after falling behind by one goal.

So O'Neill still chose to treat it cautiously and firmly secure the line of defense first.Otherwise, no matter how small the loophole in the defense line is, it will become the Great Rift Valley in the eyes of Manchester City.

Facing wealthy families, one cannot be too careful.

It's just that sometimes, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop, you want to keep it but you can't.

Although Villa has shrunk the defense, what is terrible about a team like Manchester City is not the ability to seize opportunities, but the ability to create opportunities.

Manchester City won a corner, David Silva took a short corner, Lichtsteiner ran to meet, and the Villa defender rushed to defend.

Lichtsteiner feinted a shot, but knocked the ball out and cut in towards the middle.

His breakthrough was simple and fast, disrupting Villa's defense in an instant.

Someone wanted to run up to defend, and the Manchester City players who had been guarded all of a sudden loosened up.

At this time, the football came to Shevchenko's feet. Shevchenko took the ball and turned around. After taking two steps, the football was sent behind Shevchenko by the heel.

Lichtsteiner is here, no one is around him, he can move with ease.

After here, his only option is to shoot.

The fully exerted football, like a cannonball, was kicked by Lichtsteiner.

Duncan was on the bench and even heard the shelling.

It can be seen how big this force is.

The football ran into the goal with a white line.

2: 2!

Manchester City equalized for the second time!

After the equalizer, O'Neill was a little annoyed.

Manchester City's offense is too strong. He knew that the team's defense would encounter difficulties, but he did not expect that Manchester City's ability to create opportunities was even higher than he expected.

After being equalized again, O'Neal knew that his team continued to defend, and the possibility of defending was not much, so he had to find a way on offense.

So after being equalized again, the Aston Villa players began to invest more troops in the offense.

This game is a decisive game, and neither team has a way out, so in this game, another goal must be scored to win the final victory.

Seeing Villa attacking again, Duncan smiled.

O'Neal's team, after all, is a weak team, although the score is now a tie.

But Duncan knows that this game has already incorporated his own rhythm.

Compared with controlling the overall situation of the game, O'Neal is still inferior to Duncan.
