Chapter 855: Vera who collapsed in such an instant
In the stands, the Aston Villa fans were silent. [Lots of good novels]. For more up-to-date chapters, visit wèn:щw.
Manchester City football fans are singing and dancing to celebrate.
The stands at the new Wembley Stadium can be described as two heavens of ice and fire.
At this time, in the press stand, I saw that Manchester City was so easy to lead the not weak Aston Villa by three goals. This surprised the journalists. He felt that with the strength of the two teams, it was the most likely to fight to the death and collide fiercely. Unexpectedly, Mancini's team declared victory almost without bloodshed. It was so unexpected for him.
In addition to the Manchester people, the happiest of the reporters is the group of Chinese journalists, and there are many Chinese reporters who came to the new Wembley Stadium today to cover this game.
After Yang Fan transferred to Manchester City at the world's No. 1 price, he missed the European competition this season, and Manchester City could not get involved in the Premier League championship trophy, in addition, the FA Cup has also been out, so the League Cup trophy is the only trophy that Yang Fan can touch, and Chinese reporters naturally attach great importance to this game.
"It's beautiful!"
"Yang Fan's pass is very hidden, and the landing point is also excellent. ”
'It's 3-0 and it looks like City have the title. ”
"Alas, it is really uncomfortable to see Yang Fan win the European Champions Cup trophy last season, but now he is the champion of the League Cup. A reporter sighed.
"Don't say that. Someone said, "I think we are all 'used' by Yang Fan." ”
Hearing this, the Chinese reporters laughed, but it's not, this is Yang Fan's habitual mouth, in the past, it was a great thing for Chinese players to be able to play in the Premier League team, and it was even more joyful to be able to win the League Cup, and now, Yang Fan won a League Cup championship, they actually can't look down on it, this is not Yang Fan's mouth raised by Yang Fan last season when he was in Manchester United.
"I'm really looking forward to the warm-up match between China and Portugal next week. Someone said suddenly.
"yes, yes, it's definitely going to be tough. ”
If in the past, the Chinese team warmed up with Portugal, Chinese reporters absolutely did not have any expectations for this game, see who Portugal has? Cristiano Ronaldo, Quaresma, Nani, Pepe, these big names are enough to blind the eyes of the Chinese, but now it is different, Portugal has Cristiano Ronaldo, China has Yang Fan, you have the World Footballer, we also have! This is where the confidence and hope lie!

The City man walked into the dressing room with a two-goal lead, and all the faces were excited and 'excited'.
The Aston Villas, on the other hand, are a bit of a lost soul. Whoever sees them. They all feel that this game has ended early. There was nothing to look forward to in the second half.
It was a Carabao Cup final and Aston Villa were naturally very important, as they came with a desire to win the game and were three goals down in the first half. As head coach, O'Neill should have been furious. But that's not his style. Although he has a good temper, he is not a random tantrum style, and he is now calmly thinking about what the problem is and how to deal with it.
He felt like he knew what was wrong.
'I felt something was wrong with our tactics in the first half, the problem was on me. ”
"Our reckless pressure has caused a void in the rear air defense. Read the full text of the latest chapter, and the first ball is key. It 'disrupted' our entire plans. O'Neill, who calmed down, analysed the frustrated players. He was the first to admit his problems, which was to decompress his players.
He did think that the first goal was the key, and as soon as the goal was conceded, Aston Villa were a little flustered, and of course, if he could have asked the whole team to pay attention to the defense at that time, maybe it would have been better. However, it is too late to say anything.
'I'm not going to be conservative in the second half. O'Neill said, "Because we have no way back!"
Yes, three goals down, they have only one way to attack, if they continue to be conservative, I believe this is what Manchester City are happy to see, they will definitely be happy to run out of game time.
"Do you think the game is over? Far from it! The Man at Manchester City probably thought the game was over early. They must have started the celebration in the locker room. This is our chance......" he leaned forward. Look at your players. Say it word by word. 'In the second half they were underwhelmed and that's our chance. ”
"You must know the game that was played in Istanbul in 2005. O'Neill said he decided to give an example to boost the morale of his players.
The Aston Villa players here are certainly aware of the famous football classic Istanbul Night.
May 25, 2005, Champions League final, Liverpool vs. AC Milan. Istanbul, a city straddling the Eurasian continent, has witnessed a game of gods that encompasses all the 'fine' elements of the football world. How magical is Istanbul night, "unbeliverpool" is the most intuitive "incredible Liverpool", and this entry has been included in the Oxford dictionary because of this classic game.
Just 52 seconds into the game, Milan captain Maldini scored the fastest goal in 50 years of the Champions League. Kress 'Bo' scored twice at the end of the first half, 0-3, and most of the Liverpool ball 'fans' had already turned off the TV and went to sleep. But God played a big joke in the second half. In the 6 minutes from the 53rd minute, Liverpool scored three goals in a row and actually equalized the score, 3-3, and the world was shocked. In extra-time, Liverpool's goalkeeper Dudek saved Shevchenko's two must-score goals in succession, and in the penalty shootout, it was the 'Bo'lan' goalkeeper who saved Pirlo and Sheva's penalties. In the end, with a penalty shootout score of 3-2, Liverpool reversed and won the most classic game in 10 years.
This game is definitely a classic inspirational blockbuster.
It is often used by some team coaches to encourage players who are behind by their own side, although it is a cliché, but it does have an effect.
No, hearing O'Neill mention 'Istanbul Night' finally brightened the eyes of the Aston Villa players.
"What Liverpool can do, so can we!"
"Now this Manchester City team is not as good as that Milan team, we still have a chance. ”
"As long as you don't give up, it's possible. ”
O'Neill used 'Istanbul Night' to encourage the players, and it finally paid off. His players have finally boosted their morale, which finally gives O'Neill a little hope and confidence, he knows that at this time, it is more important to boost the morale of the players than any tactics, if the whole team does not have a little fighting spirit, then his tactics are useless, tactics need people to execute.

As the second half began, commentator Eddie Gray noticed that the Aston Villa players were not as depressed as they had been at the end of the first half. It stands to reason that after falling behind by three goals. They should be dead in the face. But look now. Their expressions did not continue to deteriorate.
What did O'Neill say to them at half-time?
O'Neill's prediction at half-time was good. After a three-goal lead, Manchester City inevitably slackened. Whether it's defending or counter-attacking. None of them are as motivated as they used to be.
This is an opportunity for the Aston Villa man. If they can't catch it. Their defeat is truly irretrievable......
The Aston Villans gambled on all their hopes in this game and they came out of the hole. They didn't care how they were going to defend against City's fourth quick counter-attack. Because there is no point in thinking about it. Their goal is to score goals, to turn the game around, to win the championship, and at this time, there is no other way but to attack.
Aston Villa's goal came with 51 minutes played.
"Heskey, Heskey, beautiful goal, he scored, six minutes into the second half, he scored, and now at Aston Villa pulled a goal back. "The neutral commentators are very 'excited', Aston Villa has scored, this game will be more 'exciting' and 'fine', they don't want to watch a one-sided game, or the two sides are inseparable is the most 'fine' game.
The other commentators were also 'excited': "Husky scored! This veteran scores at a crucial moment, never doubt a veteran's ambition and ambition." ”
"Amazing Husky! He stepped up at the critical moment!!"
"He received a pass from Ashley Young in the box, used his strong body to squeeze Jobridge behind him, and then swept the 'shot' into the 'goal'!
"Manchester City's goalkeeper Givens is very dissatisfied with this goal, but what can be done?
The Aston Villa fans, who had been silent for most of the time in the stands, also jumped up from their seats.
"Aston Villa pulled a goal back...... "Villa's commentator shouted, "it's only been long since the second half started, we still have time, we still have a chance!"
'Heskey scored for Aston Villa...... That doesn't change the outcome of the game, though. For Aston Villa fans. It's just a face-saving goal. The Manchester narrator was calm, he said. His words were echoed by many Manchester City fans, who were not frustrated and angry by the goal. They still have a smile on their faces and a two-goal lead.
O'Neill stood up and pumped his fist in celebration of the goal, but after a brief moment of excitement he calmed down and his side would have to score two more goals without conceding if they were to equalise...... It's really difficult, but this goal is a good sign, isn't it?
※※※※※※※
The goal left Mancini a little angry, unhappy with the relaxation of his players in the second half, although psychologically he was also relaxed before the goal.
"Yang Fan! Yang Fan!" Mancini called out Yang Fan's name.
Yang Fan ran to the sidelines.
"Their momentum has to be suppressed. "Do you know what to do?"
"No problem, 'hand' it over to me. Yang Fan nodded.
Back on the pitch, Yang Fan immediately convened a small meeting of the team's attacking group players, they didn't care about reviewing the relaxation just now, and now they must regain their 'spirits' to suppress the momentum of Aston Villa.
With what pressing?
Naturally, it's on the offive!
Yang Fan understands that he must immediately give the Aston Villa people a 'look' with a threatening attack, and suppress their morale and momentum because of the goal.
City soon instigated an attack, Wright Phillips dribbled down the flank to near the baseline, made a gesture to cut inside, and suddenly returned the ball and the following Zabaleta hoisted the ball into the box.
Yang Fan appeared in front of the 'door', and he was jumping high......
Zabaleta crosses...... Yang Fan jumped up with a header!!"
The football was hit by him and flew towards the ball 'goal', Aston Villa's 'goalkeeper' had some problems with Fredel's position, he could only subconsciously block when he saw this, his fingertips touched the football, slightly changing the running route of the football, but the football still flew in the direction of the ball 'goal'......
Bang!
The soccer ball hit the post with a muffled sound.
Frazel breathed a sigh of relief.
However, before he could put his heart down, he saw a man stumble into the goal, he collided with the football, and even fell into the net with the ball.
“gooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaal!”
"The goal went in!!Man City scored!They immediately opened the gap again!The goal was scored," the Manchester commentator went crazy, and then he went even more crazy, "It was Downing who scored, and it was an own goal!!!
"Four to one!" Manchester City went ahead again, and it was Downing who scored!
"Ahh Lineker didn't know what to say, "Unlucky Downing, unlucky Aston Villa." ”
'It's unlucky, Aston Villa's luck was so bad today, they just pulled a goal back and scored an own goal of their own. Eddie Gray was also amused by this scene, "Downing must be so depressed that he wants to bang his head against the wall now......"
As he said, Downing really wanted to hit his head against the pillar now.
He tried his best to make up for the defense just now, but he didn't want to slip under his feet, and rolled directly to the ball 'goal', and the ghost made Yang Fan's header hit the 'goal' and hit the post and bounced back to the football in front of the 'goal'......
Seeing this goal, Yang Fan was extremely excited, and he waved his fists wildly.
Aston Villa had just scored, and then they scored again to open the score, which was really cool!
Of course, the thought of an own goal scored by the opponent is a better feeling.
Yang Fan was really not kind at all, and he didn't take into account the mood of the hapless Aston Villa people at all.
"Downing's own goal caused Aston Villa to collapse completely. Lineker also said with emotion, "No one thought that Aston Villa's confidence and morale that had been so hard to muster would collapse in such an instant!"
