Chapter 726: A Big Victory
It was a fairly easy game for Manchester City. Even when Aston Villa bombarded indiscriminately at the beginning, Manchester City's goal was not really threatened, and only the counterattack instigated by Albrighton after more than 30 minutes of the game made Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart sweat a little.
At half-time, Roberto Mancini began to explain tactics in the dressing room, first praising Yang Fan and Tevez, and then determined to continue attacking in the second half, striving for another goal, and completely sealing the win so that some players could come down and rest, for Manchester City, the second leg of the Champions League semi-final against Barcelona in four days is even more important and must be reserved.
Five minutes into the second half, after half-time adjustments, Aston Villa tried to make up for the disadvantage on the pitch and wanted to score to close the gap, but Manchester City showed the essence of a strong team, not panicking, Aston Villa was a little powerless.
Mancini watched from the sidelines for a while, then stood up from the dugout, he was a little silent and dissatisfied with the team's attack during this time, these boys have forgotten what they said at halftime, score another goal, seal the win!
"Attack! Don't think 2-0 is safe!"
Hearing Mancini shout like this, Aston Villa manager Houllier pouted, he was depressed, he really wanted to go up and slap his peer twice, hey, you are all two goals ahead, there is one more person than us, and the strength is also higher than us, is it deliberately annoying to say such things?
Tevez receives the ball from Yaya Toure.
Aston Villa's defender, Walker, who was defending him head-on, nervous when he saw Tevez start to dribble the ball. Although Manchester City's recognized number one attacker is Yang Fan, and there are Balotelli and Dzeko in the forward position, no one dares to deny Tevez's strength. This is a terrifying attacker who has to play 120 percent to defend.
Tevez dribble,
The upper body began to shake, Walker lowered his center of gravity, and slowly retreated, he knew that the shaking of the opponent's upper body was a feint. The most important thing is the moment when the opponent starts to break through!
Tevez saw that the feint had no effect, so he had to force his way through.
I saw him slam the football sideways forward, and then accelerate forward!
Walker knew that Tevez was really here, and he was also very clear about Tevez's characteristics, so Walker didn't dare to slack off, and quickly turned around and cut crosswise, hoping to squeeze Tevez out of the sideline. However, Tevez was quicker than him and had already swept past him with the ball before he could make a move.
In desperation, Walker could only foul.
The referee's whistle blew and Walker was shown a yellow card.
A free kick by Manchester City.
Yang Fan stood in the penalty area, he squeezed his eyes at Tevez, who withdrew from the penalty area and stood at the penalty spot, and Yaya Toure stood in front of the football with him.
This obviously bothered Aston Villa's goalkeeper, with Yaya Toure and Carlos Tevez taking completely different free-kicks, and the two men standing there with no idea who was going to take the penalty were bound to have an impact on his own judgment.
Tevez whispered to Yaya Toure.
Then it was seen that both men took two steps back and rushed towards the football when the referee's whistle blew.
Yaya Toure who kicked the ball last.
This time, Yaya Toure didn't shoot straight at goal, but hoisted the ball into the box.
Yang Fan jumped high in front of goal, and he and Walker battled for a header. The latter was satisfied with his defense, because he stuck Yang Fan, even if Yang Fan was on top of the football, it was difficult to form an effective attack, and then he was surprised to see that Yang Fan would shake his head and push it towards the football.
It's not a header!
It's a header ferry.
Where does the ferry go?
Not in front of the door!
Instead, outside the forbidden area!
Then people saw that Tevez had rushed to the football landing point at this time, facing the flying football, adjusting slightly, and without waiting for the other Aston Villa defenders to press, he picked up his right foot and volleyed vigorously!
The ball whistled towards Aston Villa's goal, and Aston Villa goalkeeper Friedel flew sideways but couldn't keep the ball out of the net.
“!”
"Tevez's goal!
"Man City! Beautiful! They have a three-goal lead on the road!3-0! It was Carlos Tevez who scored the third goal for his team!"
"Such a powerful long-range shot is really beautiful!" the commentator shouted, "Manchester City's free kick combination this time looks carefully designed and rehearsed!"
As the commentator spoke, the slow motion began to replay, from Yang Fan winking at Tevez, to Tevez and Yaya Toure whispering, both of them made a gesture to take the free kick, and finally Yaya Toure came to kick the ball, not a direct shot, but a hoist into the penalty area, and Tevez also ran, he ran from the side of the football, and then Yang Fan headed the ball in the penalty area, Tevez also ran to the landing point of the football and completed the shot without interference.
Huge boos erupted at Villa Park. Seeing their team trail Manchester City by three goals left Aston Villa fans feeling uncontrollable.
Their pre-match provocations towards the City crowd were all the more ironic in the face of a 0-3 scoreline.
"Eleven minutes into the second half, Manchester City scored again! 3-0! Aston Villa was completely dizzy, and Manchester City gave Aston Villa, who were determined to get revenge, to the head. ”
Before the start of this game, it was discussed that Aston Villa is not an underdog, and they are determined to get revenge, and many people are designing the means and process for Manchester City to break the deadlock.
However, in fact, the process of Manchester City breaking the deadlock in the second half seemed so easy, so freehand, Yang Fan and Tevez, the flashes of the two stars, the goal came!
That's the quality of a star.
Their instantaneous outburst can often change the score on the field!
Tevez's goal completely crushed the fighting spirit of Aston Villa fans, falling behind 0-3 on the score, and there was one less person on the field than the opponent, plus the opponent had a super killer like Yang Fan, which psychologically caused a certain negative hint to the home team that was behind by a large score.
Then, an attack from Aston Villa, which failed and the pass was cut off by Yaya Toure and then passed to Tevez. Tevez dribbled past one of Aston Villa's players and immediately distributed the ball to Zabaleta, who cut in on the right.
Zabaleta took the ball forward, then accelerated to catch up, he and Walker fought for speed, Zabaleta shook off Walker, and then did not choose to cut inside, but crossed directly!
Yang Fan, who was following up at high speed, jumped high in the run, a powerful rush!
The ball went into the net, and Aston Villa's goalkeeper Friedel was still standing stunned. The combination of Yang Fan and Zabaleta, who assisted on the wing, was a textbook bottom cross and a midfield outflank.
Yang Fan's judgment of the ball's landing point is extremely accurate, this he created conditions to get rid of the defender, when he jumped, there was no one around, which allowed Yang Fan to comfortably use the strength of his upper abdomen, and the header was very stretched, full of strength. The ball is blazing fast!
Aston Villa goalkeeper Friedel hasn't reacted at all.
"The ball is in! The ball is in!!Beautiful! In just 35 seconds from the break-off counterattack to the goal, Manchester City has a clean attack! This is a classic combination of a classic fast attack pass on the side and a score in the middle! Yang Fan showed an excellent tacit understanding with Zabaleta this time, and Argentine full-back Zabaleta's side cross came into play!!"
"Four to zero! City are hugely ahead! They have won the game in fact, even if God can't help Aston Villa to salvage the defeat. ”
"Let's take another look at slow motion...... Yang Fan's running position is awesome, Aston Villa's defenders were completely thrown away by him, he jumped really high, and his power was very good, this ball is a theoretical dead end, I'm afraid even the two Friedel combined can't stop this ball. ”
After Yang Fan landed, he first swung his fist hard, and then pointed to Zabaleta who passed the ball with both hands, and the latter pounced on him with open arms.
"Man, thank you! Yang Fan shouted loudly.
'It was a beautiful goal as well. Zabaleta laughed.
At this time, Manchester City also made a substitution, but it was Tevez who was replaced. The Argentine star had just recovered from injury and Mancini was afraid to keep Tevez on the pitch.
"Tevez was replaced by Ballack, the Argentine star scored two goals today and performed well, and Tevez had such a good performance today, Mancini should have a much better impression of the Argentine goalscorer. ”
In England, it is already an open secret that Mancini and Tevez do not have a good relationship.
Manchester City continued to bombard Aston Villa's goal.
Yang Fan received a pass from De Jong, and after forming a breakthrough on the left flank, he looked up at the front.
Inside or cross?
Yang Fan took a step sideways and looked up at the penalty area, he was the only striker of Manchester City on the field, so Yang Fan's position was the highest, he saw Ballack trying to move forward in the penalty area, but unfortunately Ballack's intention was seen through by the Aston Villa players, and someone immediately followed.
Obviously, now is not a good time to pass the ball to Ballack.
Yang Fan shook his head, gave up the willingness to cross, and chose to force a breakthrough.
Dunn came up to intercept Yang Fan.
However, he found that he had no way to stop this former teammate's breakthrough Yang Fan's feet were too fast!
The continuous change of direction of the current captain of Manchester City made the former captain of Manchester City a little dizzy, and he couldn't prevent it at all, so he could only use small movements, he pulled Yang Fan's jersey with his hand, trying to slow down Yang Fan's speed and momentum.
Yang Fan did not slow down, he broke through Dunn's defense with continuous realistic feints in high-speed travel, and the latter was completely inferior in terms of physical strength and impact, and could not stop Yang Fan at all.
Now, standing in the way of Yang Fan's forward path is Albrighton, who has returned to defend in place.
Yang Fan burst into the penalty area with the ball, and at this time, Aston Villa's midfielder Petrov had already returned to the penalty area. Yang Fan raised his head and glanced at the goal, although his position was a little off, it was still within the range.
In the first half, Yang Fan's goal was a strong long-range shot after a long-distance run, so at halftime, Aston Villa's head coach Houllier emphasized that Aston Villa's players should be careful of Yang Fan's long-range shots, and don't give Yang Fan space to shoot from a distance and then have a chance!
Petrov, who was ordered by the head coach, noticed this detail of Yang Fan looking at the goal, "This guy wants to shoot from a distance?!" made such a judgment in his mind, and he immediately became vigilant, paying attention to blocking Yang Fan's shot, and was ready to block the gun's eye at any time.
At the moment when Yang Fan seemed to be about to raise his foot to hit the door, Petrov immediately fell to the ground and blocked it without fear of death, he was ready to bear the pain, but there was no painful feeling of being hit by a football on his body.
At the same time, the entire stadium erupted in huge boos.
This is the biggest and most helpless response from Aston Villa fans to this guy who is suspected of showing off his footwork!
Aston Villa fans have never hated an opposition player as much as they do now.
Petrov, who was lying on the ground, looked up in amazement, only to find that Yang Fan just made a feint to shoot the goal, this guy pulled the ball back, and then changed to wipe the ball, and passed!
Lying on the ground, Petrov's heart was like ashes, he had tried his best, but he couldn't stop this kid, he could only hope that Albrighton in the back could stop this guy!
Albrighton is here!
He's nervous right now because a defender or goalkeeper is always at a disadvantage when it comes to confrontations with strikers. Because they will never know what their opponent's next move will be, everything can only rely on their own prediction. If the judgment is correct, it is good to say, once the judgment is wrong, the opponent will be passed all at once, and even concede the goal!
Yang Fan raised his right leg again.
"Do you want to shoot this time?" Albrighton pondered.
This time, Yang Fan passed the ball directly, and he had an instep in his pocket.
The ball got past the last defender, Albrighton, and flew towards goal!
The boos were even louder!
In front of the goal, Ballack was already in place at this time, and there was no one around the captain of the German national team. He could have done a warm-up and then had the most comfortable shot on target.
Ballack opted for his best header and he flicked it straight at goal.
Aston Villa goalkeeper Friedel made a stunning save to keep out Ballack's header.
Ballack's eyes were full of surprise, he didn't expect his ball to be saved, so much so that he forgot to make a follow-up shot.
Someone hasn't forgotten!
Although Friedel pounced on the football, the football was still in the penalty area, and fell directly in front of Yang Fan!
Then, under the gaze of countless people, Yang Fan picked up his right foot and directly volleyed the football into the net.
There is no way for him to waste such a chance to make up for the shot!
After completing the goal, U reading book ( ) Yang Fan still squeezed his eyes towards Balak, meaning that he passed it to you so well, and he didn't score it, then don't blame me.
The latter couldn't cry or laugh, came up and hugged Yang Fan, and rubbed his hair vigorously.
Five to zero!
Yang Fan scored a hat trick!
"Five to 0! Manchester City have a five-goal lead over Aston Villa! They have won a big victory! At this time, the game has been played for 81 minutes, and the victory or defeat has long been out of suspense, the only suspense is whether they will continue to attack, continue to score, whether this slaughter will continue!"
"Aston Villa said before the game that they wanted to give Manchester City people a good look, but just hatred, this did not help Aston Villa beat Manchester City, the gap between the two teams is too big, especially Manchester City has talented players like Yang Fan and Tevez, this is where the gap between the two teams lies, such a talented star, to a certain extent, determines the course of the game! Tevez's brace proved he was unaffected by the injury, but more importantly, Yang Fan's hat-trick, the City captain remains the most trusted of the team, and now he is on his way to the club's first top-flight trophy in history......
