The Glory of the Godfather

At this time, Fang Jue finally decided to make a substitution, and N'Golo Kanter replaced Clement.

The teenager Kimmich also came off the bench and made his debut in the Champions League.

This is the situation where the overall situation is set, so that young people can gain more game experience and opportunities.

In the end, Aston Villa beat the visiting Galatasaray 5-1 at home, and maintained a complete victory in the two games of the UEFA Champions League group stage, ranking first in the group.

The audience was not surprised by this victory.

Aston Villa has the ability to beat Galatasaray by a big score. This Turkish giants team is indeed very difficult at home, but their performance on the road is very mediocre.

Four days after the game against Galatasere, Aston Villa ushered in a focus battle in the seventh round of the Premier League.

Last season's Premier League runner-up Aston Villa hosted the Premier League defending champion Manchester City.

This can be said to be a game that has attracted the attention of fans all over the world. Everyone wants to see whether Manchester City, which broke Aston Villa's monopoly in the Premier League last season, can stop it in this year's league. Aston Villa, at least in the direct confrontation between the two teams, what kind of answers can Manchester City give?

...

Friends from the audience, welcome to the seventh round of the English Premier League. Aston Villa will host Manchester City, Howe said.

The game is about to start, and we have already got the starting lists of both sides. Manchester City's list is not surprising. It continues the lineup of the previous round. Now Manchester City's lineup is complete. As the defending champion of the Premier League, Manchester City will be defeated by them last season. Aston Villa who overturned the throne show their strength!

On the TV screen, Manchester City's starting lineup began to be played:

Goalkeeper: Joe Hart;

Defense: Zabaleta, Kompany, Demichelis, Clichy;

Midfielders: Yaya Toure, Fernandinho, David Silva, Keylor Navas;

Forwards: Dzeko, Aguero;

Okay, let's look at Aston Villa again... Aston Villa's biggest injury in this game is that De Bruyne's muscle soreness did not enter the squad for the game. Zhang Lu raised his voice and said .

In other positions, Director Fang Jue is still able to form the strongest lineup.

At the same time, Aston Villa's starting lineup for today was played on the screen:

Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen

Defense: Kyle Walker, Thiago Silva, Senderos, Milner;

Midfielders: Clement, Modric, Sanchez, Mane;

Forwards: Vardy, Lewandowski;

Aston Villa today lined up Lewandowski and Vardy's double striker lineup, which is indeed surprising. In addition, Kaka, who has performed very well in the last two games, is sitting on the bench. This is also beyond people's expectations. Howe said.

...

Seven minutes into the game.

Although it is a guest at the new Villa Park Stadium, Manchester City's offensive is very fierce.

City took advantage of their first kick to put pressure on Aston Villa's goal from the start.

Manchester City is now as many as seven points behind Aston Villa in the league, which is an unacceptable huge gap for the defending champions.

For Manchester City, today's game will even be the key to determining whether they have a chance to compete for the league title this season:

If they can get rid of Aston Villa and get three points, Manchester City will narrow the point difference and be only four points behind Aston Villa. It's not a big difficulty.

However, once Manchester City loses this game and loses in a direct contest, Manchester City will be as many as ten points behind Aston Villa, which almost means that Manchester City will withdraw from the competition for the Premier League title this season early.

Therefore, in this game, the whole Manchester City team faced it with a desperate, offensive and winning mentality.

At this moment, Manchester City are in possession of the ball.

Fernandinho is on the ball and he faces Sanchez interference.

The Brazilian knocked the football to the left first, as if he was going to break through from him, when Sanchez was attracted to the center of gravity, he pulled the ball beautifully with the inside of his foot, and then passed Sanchez with a light flick.

However, Fernandinho wanted to move on and came over with one foot and shoveled the ball straight out of the touchline.

...

Don't be easily passed by him. Clement came up and patted Sanchez on the shoulder.

Kaka has been in excellent form in these two games, which has put a lot of pressure on Sanchez. He obviously doesn't feel as relaxed as before on the court today. This is because of too much psychological pressure, which makes the players a little impatient. Lineker Er said.

Sanchez, who was told by Clement, then used his actions to tell everyone his attitude towards the game.

Fernandinho pulled the ball beautifully, trying to break through Sanchez again, but this time, Sanchez showed a fierce side, with a sliding tackle, Fernandinho was brought down with the ball.

The referee verbally warned Sanchez, which aroused strong dissatisfaction among the Manchester City people.

Subsequently, David Silva took a free kick and went straight to the goal. The football crossed a wonderful arc, slightly higher than the crossbar, which shocked the Aston Villa fans in cold sweat.

The camera gave Fang Jue a close-up. Fang Jue was sitting on the coach's bench. It seemed that he was not too nervous about the team's passivity on the scene. Instead, he seemed to be sitting on the Diaoyutai.

Aston Villa were quick to fight back against Manchester City on the pitch.

In Manchester City's subsequent attack, Fernandinho tried to hit a wall with Navas. However, the latter's subsequent pass was slightly weaker and the football was intercepted by Milner.

Milner then immediately passed the ball to Modric.

While receiving the ball, Modric considered his next move, and he made a long pass from the backcourt.

In the frontcourt, Lewandowski chested the ball, he controlled the ball at his feet, and prevented Kompany from behind him from stealing the ball.

After the football was under control, Lewandowski made a move to turn around, but distributed the football to Sanchez, who came to meet him, and then turned around and ran into the penalty area.

Sanchez took advantage of the situation and pushed the football.

Beautiful! Aston Villa's counterattack!!!

Bump into the wall!

Later, after Lewandowski received the football, he shot a low shot directly. After the football was blocked by Joe Hart stretching his leg, it rebounded, hit the outside of the post and went out of the baseline.

The Aston Villa fans cheered loudly from the stands at the new Villa Park.

Although the goal was not scored, it was very morale-boosting.

...

Aston Villa's corner kick, however, this corner kick attack did not pose any threat. On the contrary, Manchester City seized the opportunity, and after stealing the ball, they took advantage of the opportunity to fight back.

Manchester City's counterattack was quite fast, and after only six passes, they killed near Aston Villa's penalty area.

The assist came from Zabaleta, who hoisted the football into the penalty area after receiving a pass from Yaya Toure.

Bosnia-Herzegovina striker Dzeko and Senderos competed for the top. Senderos was not afraid of anyone in grabbing the high-altitude ball. He successfully pushed the football out.

However, Kyle Walker's clearance ball then slipped and kicked flawed, and the football did not kick far.

Then Modric's sliding tackle failed to completely clear the football. David Silva rescued the football before it crossed the baseline. He immediately handed the football to Yaya Toure.

Manchester City immediately launched a second attack.

Yaya Toure passed the football to Navas, who passed the ball to Clichy who assisted him. After receiving the ball, the French defender took advantage of the trend and pushed the football directly into the penalty area!

Aguero bursts from behind the crowd.

Seeing that Aguero was about to catch the ball and become a single-handed player, Ter Stegen, who attacked, threw the football under him first.

Aguero jumped over the fallen Aston Villa goalkeeper with some reluctance. He waved his hand in frustration. If only his speed could be faster...

Fang Jue broke out in a cold sweat on the sidelines.

If it weren't for Ter Stegen's early attack this time, the ball would be really dangerous.

...

Ter Stegen didn't take the goal kick immediately. He first lay down on the ground for a while, then slowly got up, and saw that his players were in line, and then Ter Stegen made a big kick. Football kicked to the front.

Yaya Toure pushed the ball back in front of Mane, and possession once again went to Manchester City.

Fang Jue shouted from the sidelines, and he signaled goalkeeper ter Stegen not to kick blindly. Such a kick-off is simply giving away the possession of the ball to Manchester City.

In a passive situation, it is even more necessary to be calm. It is best to take the ground ball and control the football under your feet.

Manchester City had the ball and they immediately organized the attack.

Today's Manchester City is a completely desperate offensive tactics, their two wingers, Zabaleta on the right and Clichy on the left, are pressed near Aston Villa's penalty area.

After Navas and Zabaleta made an interspersed movement, he did not catch the ball, but leaked the football to Fernandinho who came to meet him.

The Brazilian knocked the football to Yaya Toure to organize the attack.

Yaya Toure sent a through ball directly. After Aguero caught up with the football, he faced Clement's pressing. In desperation, the Argentine chose to take a long shot from outside the penalty area.

This shot was not a threat at all, but Senderos stretched his leg on the penalty area line to block it. After the football changed its line, it hit the crossbar and bounced back to the goal. Then Ter Stegen rushed hugged.

Seeing such a bad ball hit the crossbar, Aguero jumped twice in annoyance, what a pity.

...

Manchester City's offensive was fierce, and it seemed that Aston Villa played very hard and passively.

Some commentators were very excited. They praised Manchester City and said that it was indeed Manchester City. Only Manchester City can truly threaten Aston Villa and create a new Premier League order.

It's no wonder that the commentator was not neutral and 'favored' Manchester City. It was really that everyone was frightened by Aston Villa's previous four consecutive Premier League titles.

Since the establishment of the Premier League, when has a team won four consecutive championships? How embarrassing is this for other teams, and this dominance has also affected the suspense and excitement of the Premier League championship.

Just when the commentators were praising Manchester City for being good, Manchester City was great, and Manchester City's Villa was croaking, Aston Villa's counterattack directly poked Manchester City's heart.

This was when Manchester City came out to attack. Clement completed the interception in the backcourt, and then immediately hit Manchester City's counterattack.

Modric, receiving a pass from Clement, has good vision and immediately sees a 'wide' pass.

Modric passes the ball directly to Sanchez in front of him.

Sanchez catches up to the football and dribbles it forward.

Manchester City's left back Clichy is still in front and has not returned to the defense, so the ball must be filled by the central defender.

Anxious, Demichelis yelled at his teammates to return to the defense. While continuing to wave his teammates back to the defense, Demichelis greeted him, but he did not directly go up to intercept, but fought and retreated.

All he has to do is delay the advance time of Aston Villa's counterattack this time!

Sanchez did not give Demichelis the opportunity to exchange space for time at all. He saw that Demichelis did not come to close defense, and glanced at the direction of the goal from the corner of his eye.

Sanchez saw that the goalkeeper Joe Hart was standing a little bit forward. Without the slightest hesitation, he swung his left foot and shot angrily at the ball.

Manchester City's goalkeeper Joe Hart was completely unprepared for Sanchez's sudden shot. He looked at the arc in the air and was a little flustered. .

The football slid into the net from above his right hand, almost touching the lower edge of the crossbar.

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool!

Sanchez! Sanchez! Sanchez! He scored for Aston Villa. This is a goal that broke the deadlock. Aston Villa, who has been passive, scored instead!

A goal that makes people jump and cheer, Sanchez's super long shot!

World wave! World wave! Sanchez opened the scoring for Aston Villa with a nearly perfect arc!

This is really interesting. After the start of the game, the Manchester City team, which exploded with amazing energy and almost bombed indiscriminately, was defeated by Aston Villa's counterattack just like that!

Fang Jue and Aston Villa players are cheering for a goal.

The Aston Villa fans in the main stand of the new Villa Park Stadium also shouted excitedly to celebrate this goal. Their team has been passive, but they did not expect to score first under such difficult circumstances.

There is joy here at Aston Villa.

On the other side of the visiting team's bench, Manchester City coach Manuel Pellegrini jumped angrily, his face full of depression and anger.

He really didn't expect his team to play against Aston Villa, but never scored. Instead, Aston Villa's counterattack actually scored a goal.
