In the first ten minutes of the game, Aston Villa did exactly that. ()-

Downing and Petrov are pinning down Manchester City's Barry and De Jong. Ashley Young and James Milner flared down the City defence from left to right, with Aston Villa's two full-backs, Quillar and Warnock, also providing assists.

In addition, their striker Abang Lajo is very fast, which also makes Manchester City very jealous, and what makes Manchester City a little headache is that Aston Villa's other center forward Heskey is old, but the England veteran is in good form right now, and his ability to grab points is outstanding, and if you despise him, you will definitely be punished.

Therefore, it can be said that Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini's praise of Aston Villa before the game is not all formulaic language, Aston Villa is indeed a team that is a headache.

※※※※※※※

At the beginning of the game, Aston Villa began to frequently use wide crosses, and in the face of their style of play, Manchester City almost gave up the wide defense and narrowed the middle to mainly release crosses. Their centre-back Kompany, who was largely tasked with keeping an eye on Heskey today, had the upper hand in a couple of header battles.

After seeing the poor effect of the wide cross, O'Neill immediately adjusted his tactics and no longer focused on attacking from the wing.

This adjustment immediately made Manchester City a little wolf.

Aston Villa's wingers have a great deal of skill, speed and awareness, and they are not passers who can only cross. At the same time, they are also well-known wide raiders. Whether it's Downing or Ashley Young, the footwork is quite good, and the ability to pass is good, and Manchester City have to be careful of their speed breakthroughs, but also their passes, which is indeed a bit difficult.

Milner suddenly switched inside after using a feint on the right to get past Manchester City's left wing-back Adam Johnson.

Bridge went up to intercept, and the latter changed direction again, which made Bridge very wolf-like, rushing out of the way, but tripping Milner all at once.

The referee blew the whistle for a foul on Bridge.

The foul scared all City supporters into a cold sweat, just a stone's throw from inside the box. Milner almost made a penalty!

Roberto Mancini couldn't sit still on the sidelines, a game that would definitely not allow Aston Villa to score first, and the team's passivity on the pitch made him anxious. Not only are Aston Villa attacking well, they are also one of the best defensive teams in the Premier League, conceding just more goals in the league than Manchester United and Chelsea. Such a team that has been attacking sharply and defendingly well, if they score first, once Aston Villa concentrates on the defensive counter-attack, then Manchester City will be in a dilemma.

Aston Villa's free-kick.

Downing drove the ball into the box with his left foot, Husky jumped high, Kompany couldn't get the ball on the top this time, the ball was pushed by Husky, he pushed the ball back to the top of the box, and then Ashley Young was seen to come up directly into the corner of the box and volley 'shot' the goal!

This 'shot' 'goal' was very sudden, of high quality, and completely deceived Manchester City's 'goalkeeper' Georgewen, when the football grazed the 'goal' post and flew out of the bottom line, Giwen was still in a daze, he didn't have time to react at all......

"Wow!

"It's a little bit worse, Ashley Young's luck is terrible. The narrator shouted, feeling sorry for the 'shot' and 'goal' slippery.

There was also a huge sigh in the stands. Aston Villa's fans jumped up, they all thought it was a goal.

Ashley Young was also a little annoyed by the missed goal, he looked up at the sky and kept muttering in his mouth.

※※※※※※※

This 'shot' and 'goal' made Mancini also get up from the dugout again, and he felt a little nervous.

"Sue them, stay away from the penalty area when you foul them. Mancini shouted to his assistant that his English was terrible and that any tactical intentions could only be conveyed through the assistant coach.

'Aston Villa's midfield clearly have the upper hand, and with them now besieging Manchester City's 'goal', it's clear that O'Neill's tactics are all about wanting to score as many goals as possible. ”

The Aston Villa fans in the stands were very excited, and the team was in a good shape on the field, pressing Manchester City to play, which made them see the hope of winning, and the football 'fans' shouted, sang and danced loudly, cheering for their team, and spared no effort.

But twenty minutes passed, and the indiscriminate bombardment of Aston Villa had no effect. Although Manchester City looks a little wolf, however, Aston Villa just can't break through Manchester City's goal, but it is a counterattack of theirs, Tevez drove the ball straight into the ball and passed to Yang Fan, Yang Fan saw Aston Villa's 'goalkeeper' Friedel standing in front of him, and suddenly hung the 'goal', which made Friedel very wolf, and almost tried a lot of effort to barely lift the football off the crossbar, which made Aston Villa's ball 'fan' break out in a cold sweat.

And Mancini seems to have been prepared for today's passive situation for a long time, Manchester City fully retreated, leaving a Yang Fan in front, and even Yang Fan had to retreat to the backfield to help defend at one point.

Seeing that his team was helpless in the face of a dense defence, the Aston Villa commentator quipped: "This is Manchester City, which has spent hundreds of millions of pounds, and the team with the World Footballer of the Year is being pressed and beaten like this, and they are simply powerless......

Obviously, Aston Villa's commentator is also very depressed, Aston Villa's attack is good at counterattacking, and there is really not much to do in the face of Manchester City, which is fully defending.

※※※※※※※

Eddie Gray, the BBC5 gold medal commentator who was in charge of commentating the Manchester City game, had a different view, "Aston Villa have been attacking for 20 minutes but have not scored, and after this 'wave' attack gradually fades down, they should be careful and never underestimate the attacking ability of the team with Yang Fan......

If Eddie Gray had read the Chinese Art of War, he would have said something like one go, then another, and then another.

Roberto Mancini was back in his seat, and he was writing down something in his notebook of Manchester City's attacking look against Aston Villa, the team's defensive count.

"How many minutes is the game?" Mancini asked his assistant.

"Twenty-three minutes. The assistant coach replied.

"Almost. Mancini nodded, he stood up again and went to the sidelines, and during a dead ball, he called Yang Fan's name, waved his hand at the court, and made a gesture to push forward!

Yang Fan is overjoyed, this is the signal of the attack given by the coach!

That's the signal he's waiting for!

The team has been passively beaten, and Yang Fan is also anxious, however, before the game, Mancini strictly asked the whole team to stabilize the defense at the beginning of the game, and Yang Fan can only wait, and now, the coach finally gave a signal to strengthen the attack, which immediately made Yang Fan excited.

He's like a hungry wolf out of a cage now!

※※※※※※※

City's long-awaited counter-attack came 27 minutes into the game.

Kompany headed Ashley Young's pass out of the box in the box, and Gareth Barry launched a quick counter-attack with a long pass with a big foot!

"Fight back! Fight back!"

"This is City's chance!"

Yang Fan ferried the football header directly to Tevez, and he ran forward himself.

Tevez drove the ball straight in.

Dunn came up to intercept, and he saw the opportunity and fell straight to the ground to slide.

Before his toes could touch the football, the ball was poked away by Tevez. Then the Argentine striker leaped deftly to his feet and dodged Dunn's flying tackle.

Breakthrough!

Mancini stood up all of a sudden, and the opportunity for City to hold on for more than 20 minutes finally came.

Just as Tevez broke through Dunn, the rest of the Manchester City players were not watching from behind. Yang Fan 'inserted' the ball when he passed to Tevez, and Adam Johnson and Wright Phillips attackers all raised their speed to the highest speed, desperately running towards the opponent's penalty area, ready to receive possible passes.

"City's counter-attack!

"Aston Villa is in danger!"

※※※※※※※

Yang Fan rushed to the front, and he raised his arm to signal that Tevez could pass the ball.

Tevez, who had already dribbled into the penalty area, looked at Collins who came up to intercept him, then looked at Aston Villa's 'goalkeeper' Friedel, and then looked at Yang Fan, and swept the football over. If someone else rushes up, Tevez may not be so 'selfless' passing, he is more willing to 'shoot' the 'goal' than others, but Tevez has no complaints. And he knew that Yang Fan's 'shooting' and 'door' were more certain than him, and he obeyed Yang Fan.

Collins subconsciously stretched his 'legs' to block, and the ball was touched, slightly forward...... Yang Fan gritted his teeth and rushed over, and then slipped and shoveled 'shot'!

"Manchester City counter-attack...... Yang Fan's header is ferried, Tevez! He's fast! It's past Dunn!!Collins comes up to intercept it!Yang Fan rushes in, will Tevez pass the ball...... He passed! He passed! He was touched, a little big, a little big, a little big...... Shovel 'shoot'!!" BBC5 commentator Lineker stood up, his speech was as fast as a machine gun, making the audience's hearts beat faster.

Yang Fan fell to the ground and slid the sliding, and the football was hit by him and then changed the line and bounced towards the ball 'goal'.

Another commentator, Eddie Gray, had already shouted out the voice of the celebration goal in advance when Yang Fan fell to the ground and shoveled 'shooting': "goooooooaal!"

The ball flew up, skimmed past the left side of the 'goal' and crashed into the goal.

“gooooooooooooooaaaaaal。 The Manchester commentator was so excited that his face looked hideous, and he shouted at the top of his voice, "This is Manchester City's second goal in the cup final after 34 years, and this is a goal that will go down in Manchester City's history, Yang Fan! Our captain has never let us down! His goal has become a part of history!"
