Chapter 631: Perfect Champions League debut
"It seems that the coach is not very happy." Bell said.
"We have one more person, we have been playing for more than 20 minutes, and we haven't expanded the score yet, so of course the coach is not happy." Milner said.
This statement is recognized by everyone.
Soon, the whole team knew:
The team has not been able to score again, and the coach is not happy.
After 25 minutes of play, generally speaking, after the fierce battle after the opening game, the game will enter a period of silence.
However, Aston Villa came without warning and the attack was fiercer than ever.
And Werder Bremen's defence was finally breached again.
The thirty-first minute of the game.
Clement broke the ball down the middle and Milner dribbled along the wing, caught the attention of the defenders and passed the ball to Bale.
The Welshman cut laterally.
Werder Bremen's defender Pledel subconsciously wanted to pull, and immediately thought of what happened to his partner Pasanen, and it was this momentary hesitation that made Bale enter the penalty area.
"Gareth. Bel! Pounced out! ”
Bale curled a shot at goal, and Wiese saved the ball.
Mane won the ball just outside the box and he slipped the ball into the box.
After Shevchenko's brother stopped the ball, he half-turned and volleyed.
The football was blocked by Bremen defender Fritz.
Shevchenko reacted quickly and slammed the ball with his left foot before the defender cleared the ball.
The unguarded Ronaldo stopped the ball with his left foot, smashed the ball with his right foot, and after passing goalkeeper Wiese, he scored the ball into AAAL! ”
"Ronaldo! Ronaldo! Ronaldo! He scored! This is the first time in four years that he has scored in the Champions League! ”
"The 15th goal! It was Ronaldo's 15th goal in the Champions League! Lineker said, shaking his head and saying, "It's not easy, I didn't expect to see him score in the Champions League." ”
……
Many fans may not believe that before joining Aston Villa, the alien Ronaldo only scored 14 Champions League games and two qualifying goals in his career.
Compared with the super strikers of the same period, Ronaldo's data is very, very low.
For example, Ronaldo's partner at Real Madrid, Raul, now leads the all-time scorer list with 66 goals, followed by Ruud van Nistelrooy with 56, Thierry Henry with 50, Shepchenko with 48 (49 if you count today's goals) and Inzaghi with 46.
Even compared to his compatriots who are a few years older, Ronaldo is not as good as Romario, Rivaldo, Jadel and Elber, who are born in the 70s and other Brazilian stars who have scored more than 20 Champions League goals across Europe.
Ronaldo, who landed in Europe in 1994 and returned to Brazil at the end of 2008, has only played 40 Champions League games in his more than 14 years in Europe, an average of less than three in a season.
This is far from being as good as Thierry Henry, Trezeguet, Inzaghi and other strikers in the period, and the number of goals is far from them, so why is he so good and has only played in 40 Champions League games?
The format is an important factor.
The Champions League used to be called the Champions Cup, because only the league winner is eligible, which means that most of the giants in the mainstream league can only participate in the League Cup, even if they are runners-up.
Ronaldo's previous time at Barcelona coincided with a turbulent time for Barcelona, as he could only play in the UEFA Cup and did not have the opportunity to play in the European Champions League.
However, since the 1997/1998 season, the Champions Cup has changed in terms of qualification, the runners-up of the first few major leagues can qualify, and in the 1999/2000 season, the top league (1-3) has 4 teams can compete in the Champions League, this rule change has led to more and more big clubs participating in the Champions League.
Ronaldo's first appearance in the Champions League was not until 1998/1999 when he arrived at Inter Milan, when Ajax were Eredivisie champions and in 1995/1996 Barcelona finished third in La Liga and failed to qualify for next season's Champions League.
On 16 September 1998, Ronaldo made his Champions League debut in the first round away at Real Madrid, just two days before his 22nd birthday.
You know, this 'alien' was only 20 years old when he first won the World Footballer of the Year!
The Champions League is an eternal regret in Ronaldo's heart.
After four years, Ronaldo, who scored again in the Champions League, was very, very, very excited.
He wagged his fingers, grinned, bared his rabbit teeth, and ran to the sidelines.
Seeing the running fat man rushing towards him, Fang Jue laughed, but he was quietly prepared, his right foot retreated half a step slightly, kicked the ground, and prepared his waist strength to ensure that he would not fall down due to the violent impact.
Then, he was hugged by the fat man.
……
Ronaldo's goal gave Aston Villa a 2-0 lead.
This was also the score at the end of the first half.
At the start of the second half, Aston Villa opened the scoring game.
In the 49th minute of the game, Aston Villa's corner kick opportunity.
Gareth. Bale's corner kick is saved by the goalkeeper with a header from Senderos.
In the scuffle, Milner scored with a tackle.
Three to zero!
Milner, who had scored the goal, ran to the sidelines, hugged the manager's husband and lifted him into the air.
It was Milner's first Champions League game and the first goal of his career.
As Fang Jue's favorite player, Milner is also very grateful and respectful to the coach, and he dedicated this goal to Fang Jue.
With a 3-0 lead, Fang Jue also made substitution adjustments afterwards.
Ronaldo was substituted and Agon Lajo came on as a substitute.
Stroman came off the bench and he came on for Bale.
Milner was repositioned to the right of midfield, with Stroman and Clement partnering in a back two.
It was also the Champions League debut for young Dutch midfielder Stroman.
Ten minutes later, Shevchenko's shot was saved by goalkeeper Wiese and Werder Bremen defender Silvestre tried to clear the ball before being forced into the ball by the tank-like Abang Lajo to volley first.
Four to zero!
aaaaaaaaal! ”
"Abang Raho! It was Abonlaho's first Champions League goal! "John. "For a lot of Aston Villa players, every goal, every assist, every yellow card they scored in today's game made history and will go down in history!" ”
"Four to zero! Aston Villa are firmly assured of victory! ”
The camera showed the away team's coach's box on the sidelines, and Fang Jue stood on the sidelines, smiling and clapping as he celebrated the team's fourth goal.
"This game is also the Champions League debut directed by Fang Jue." He Wei said, "Four to zero! It's going to be a perfect answer! Aston Villa, who returned to the Champions League stage again after 28 years, told everyone with a big win that they are back! ”
He Wei was wrong.
Four to zero is not the final score.
The final score of the match was five to 0.
Then Fang Jue replaced Shevchenko and replaced him with Diego. Costa.
Stroman, who also came on as a substitute, sent a diagonal ball and Diego Costa half-turned and volleyed in between two players before the ball went through goalkeeper Wiese's wicket and into the net.
Five to zero!
On 14 September 2010, Aston Villa returned to the Champions League after a 28-year absence, beating Werder Bremen 5-0 at the Weser Stadium.
Aston Villa manager Fang Jue scored a perfect win on his Champions League debut.
