Chapter 778 - Family Portrait in the New Season (Asking for a Double Monthly Pass)
After taking a 4-2 lead, Fang Jue also began to make frequent substitutions, allowing more players to play to feel the atmosphere of the game.
Veteran Klose was substituted and Abang Lajo came off the bench.
On Manchester City's side, Mancini, who was two goals down, also made a substitution, Quaresma was replaced, and Gareth Barry was replaced.
The Portuguese star was very active when he came on the pitch.
His curling ball set up Manchester City centre-back Lescott's header to cut the score to 3-4.
Soon, though, Aston Villa's side doubled the lead again.
Abang Laho's shot resulted in a corner.
Hamei's corner kick was driven into the penalty area, Senderos forced Kompany to complete the header, and the ball was saved by Joe Hart, but still resolutely flew into the net.
Five to three!
"Five to three! It was almost the goal that sealed the game! ”
'With ten minutes to go, Aston Villa are again two goals ahead.
Mancini shook his head helplessly.
Objectively speaking, he also admitted that his team performed quite well today, but unfortunately, Aston Villa performed even better.
He looked at Quaresma and then at the Aston Villa players.
Produced by Aston Villa, it is still more trustworthy than value.
What he was thinking about was whether he could poach one or two more from Aston Villa, which would not only strengthen Manchester City, but also directly weaken the opponent.
It's just that, looking at these players at Aston Villa, Mancini also admitted that these are Fang Jue's favorites, and it is not easy to poach them.
Eighty-three minutes, Fang Jue used up the last substitution.
Gareth. Gareth Bale was substituted and Belgian youngster Kevin De Bruyne came off the bench to make his competitive debut for Aston Villa.
Fang Jue gave the Belgian teenager about ten minutes to feel the atmosphere of the dialogue between the top teams in the Premier League.
The time was relatively short and did not give De Bruyne much time and opportunity to play.
However, the Belgian teenager broke through with the ball once, which still made Fang Jue satisfied.
De Bruyne was fast and drooped with the ball, while Manchester City full-back Richards had to eat the dust from behind.
Had it not been for Kompany's reinforcement and a ferocious tackle that prevented the Belgian youngster from continuing to perform, he could have created a dangerous attack.
Eventually, referee Atkinson blew the whistle for the end of the game.
Five to three!
Last season's Premier League champions Aston Villa lifted the trophy with a 5-3 win over last season's FA Cup winners Manchester City at the New Wembley Stadium in the Community Shield.
The players took the stage to receive their gold medals and trophies after the Manchester City man claimed his silver.
Looking at the players who were celebrating, Fang Jue felt calm in his heart, hey, the championship has won a lot, such a little champion is a little unpleasant, life is so boring.
On camera, the Aston Villa manager excitedly waving his fist in celebration made headlines in many newspapers the next day.
At the post-match press conference, Fang Jue praised his players fiercely.
"I'm satisfied, we're on the right path and I couldn't have asked for more from them."
A reporter from Manchester asked him what he had to say about Manchester City, the opponent of today's game.
'Man City are very strong, they are growing at a rate that is visible to the naked eye and they are becoming more and more threatening. Fang Jue's expression was serious, "This season, Manchester City will be a strong contender for the league title, we have to be careful of them. ”
Mancini loved to hear that.
The Italian also praised Aston Villa and congratulated them.
All of a sudden, the press conference was in a good mood, and the two managers were literally blowing each other's blows.
Fang Jue praised Mancini as a champion coach and a winner, as evidenced by Inter Milan.
Mancini praised Fang Jue as a respectable champion coach and a winner who won the championship.
Journalists: I don't listen, I don't listen!
They tried their best to ask tricky questions and try to create a quarrel, but unfortunately Fang Jue and Mancini were both 'old fritters' and were not fooled.

"What makes us most curious and admiring is that Aston Villa can still be quite competitive, they have dominated the Premier League for two years now, and even won the European title last season...... Now, we're curious to see if the current Aston Villa side will be weakened and whether they can continue to dominate the Premier League in the new season. ”
