Chapter 793 - Building Momentum for the World Footballer of the Year (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Valverde hid his face with his hands.
He thought before the game that he was trying to cause an upset on Aston Villa.
Now, just ten minutes later, 0-3 down.
It was like a slap in the face that punctured Valverde's illusion.
He shook his head, he himself wondered if he had drunk too much, and he had that illusion in the face of the reigning Champions League champions, Aston Villa, who had just slaughtered the Bundesliga champions Borussia Dortmund 4-1.
After taking a 3-0 lead, Aston Villa slowed down the tempo of the game noticeably.
This continued until the thirty-fifth minute of the game.
Olympiacos capitalised on a set-piece opportunity to pull a point back with a header from their tall centre-back Marcano.
The conceded goal caused Fang Jue to be furious, and he roared on the sidelines, scolding the players for being too relaxed.
It turns out that picking up the little leather whip from time to time is effective.
Just before half-time, Aston Villa were made it 4-1 by Sadio Mane's powerful shot from inside on the left.
In fact, Mane's shot was not from a tricky angle, and could only be said to be slightly faster.
However, if the goalkeeper is in good condition and reacts quickly, he still has a great chance of making a save.
However, Olympiacos' Argentine goalkeeper Costanzo did not react, and he did not even make a knee-jerk move.
"The goalkeeper is not confident anymore." He Wei shook his head and said.
"Hey, conceding three goals in the opening 10 minutes, I can't stand anyone, and if it weren't for Aston Villa playing too relaxed after taking a 3-0 lead, there would definitely be more than just four goals conceded." Zhang Lu said.
……
When the whistle blew at the end of the first half, Olympiacos goalkeeper Costanzo sat in front of goal.
Olympiacos centre-back Makano pulled the old goalkeeper up, "It's okay. ”
Costanzo shook his head, didn't speak, lowered his head, followed the group, and walked off the court.
It stands to reason that Costanzo is thirty-one years old, an old goalkeeper who has withstood the test of wind and rain, and will not be so fragile.
But who can say for sure?
Sometimes, it is this kind of veteran who is accustomed to wind and rain, and when he receives a huge blow, he will be even more frustrated:
It is precisely because he is used to seeing wind and rain, but he has never seen such a big storm, that he is even more desperate.
In the away dressing room at Villa Park.
Valverde didn't say anything more about trying to pull off an upset win or a draw with Aston Villa.
He has no face, and he has no confidence to say it.
Valverde said a lot, and in the end, a thousand words came together into one sentence:
Don't concede any more goals, you can't lose too badly.
Valverde looked at the sluggish morale in the dressing room, and he even said: "With a 4-1 lead, Aston Villa will feel that the victory is a certainty, and the second half may be closed, and we will be much less stressed and not too scared."
What a bitter tear.
In the home team's dressing room at Villa Park.
With a four-to-one lead, the players did not win to praise.
Fang Jue instead scolded the players for being bloody.
A core idea: When you encounter such an opponent who was defeated at the beginning, such a good goal difference and a chance to score a goal, you don't even know how to cherish it?!
……
It's not just Valverde who thinks Aston Villa, who are 4-1 up, will be satisfied.
Even the commentators mostly think so.
So, when the Aston Villas frantically laid siege to Olympiacos' goal after the start of the second half, everyone was stunned.
'Aston Villa are still on the attack, and they're going on the offensive wave after wave.
"They're like crazy." John. Mortensen turned his head to look at his partner, as if asking, "I haven't heard of a holiday between Aston Villa and Olympiacos." ”
Lineker also thought about it, and it seemed that there really wasn't any holiday.
At most, before the game, Olympiacos' coach Ernesto Valverde said something similar to how Luka Modric's injury is good news for Olympiacos.
Such words are not provocative...... bar.
Fang Jue didn't know how to be cautious, just because of such a normal sentence, he killed the killer...... bar.
……
Aston Villa's fierce attack paid off with 51 minutes into the second half.
Aston Villa's play was a very nice passing attack.
After a series of passes, the football reached Ha Mei's feet.
The Colombian youngster made a long-range move, and after the Olympiacos defender made a defensive move, he dunked the ball back, and then, with a touch of the ball, dribbled into the box.
This left chaos in the Olympiacos penalty area.
In the penalty area lined with people, Ha Mei made a gesture to shoot, but it was Danny Ross who knocked the football to the side.
Danny Ross pushed straight forward, Ha Mei ran diagonally, half-turned and swept the football towards the goal.
Suarez fell to the ground at the front post and fired a shot that bounced off the ball and flew between the goalkeeper's hands.
“gooooooooooooooooal!”
"Suarez! Five to one! Aston Villa is going to kill them all, and Olympiacos is beaten and has no power to fight back. ”
"The second! Suarez scored twice and Aston Villa gave Aston Villa a four-goal lead. ”
"This game has ended early! There is no suspense anymore! Now the only suspense in this game may be whether Aston Villa will score again! ”
Slow-motion replays of Suarez's goal.
"Costanzo raised his hands as if he was surrendering in the face of a shot." John. Mortenson said sarcastically.
……
Aston Villa's goal didn't end there.
Five minutes later, Gareth Bell dribbled the ball on the wing, racing at high speed, and after passing two players with speed in a row, he crossed the middle, and Ha Mei bent her bow and arrow, and fired a stunning outside instep to break through Olympiacos' goal again.
Six to one.
On 61 minutes, Olympiacos player Dijbor went down after making contact with Senderos in the Aston Villa penalty area.
Referee Velasco from Spain awarded a penalty.
This punishment caused Fang Jue's strong protest.
He thinks the referee is trying to find a balance, no, to be exact, the referee awarded a penalty that didn't exist because he took pity on the opponent.
Velasco converted the penalty to make it 2-6.
It seems that the penalty decision angered Aston Villa, and then Aston Villa went on to attack more violently.
Fang Jue is also a continuous substitution adjustment.
England international Agbonlahor came off the bench to replace Suarez, who scored a brace.
Belgian teenager Kevin De Bruyne came off the bench to replace Sadio Mane, who had a pass and a shot.
In the 71st minute, De Bruyne galloped at high speed on the flanks and curled a ball into the penalty area.
Abonlajo's header was met by Olympiacos goalkeeper Costanzo who did not save on the ball and the ball did not go in, hitting the post.
The astute Bale got ahead of the defender and stabbed the shot.
……
“gooooooooooooooooal!”
"Gareth. Bel! Third, Bale scored a hat-trick! ”
"Seven to two! Aston Villa have a five-goal lead over Olympiacos. ”
Villa Park erupted in loud cheers as the home fans, led by live broadcasters, shouted Bale's name three times in a row.
Subsequently, Fang Jue decisively replaced Bale and gave the Welsh star a courtesy to enjoy the cheers of the audience again.
In the stands, the Aston Villa fans stood up and gave Gareth the loudest cheers. Bel.
"Three goals, one assist, that's Gareth. Gareth Bale is currently the hottest star in European football. ”
"FIFA will announce the 23-man squad for the 2011 FIFA Ballon d'Or in a month's time, and I believe that Bale's hot form will win him more votes."
Fang Jue and Bell high-fived, and the handsome and handsome Chinese head coach patted his favorite general's shoulder with a smile on his face and praised him fiercely.
……
Time passed quickly.
The game is coming to an end.
The score on the field was seven to two.
Even Aston Villa fans were immensely pleased with the 7-2 scoreline, and the commentators were already taking stock of the game and giving praise to Aston Villa.
Aston Villa flashed his dagger again.
It was De Bruyne who drew the attention of several defenders from Olympiacos after a series of dribbles down the flank.
The incredibly fast Abang Lajo successfully countered offside and appeared in the landing point of the football.
Olympiacos' players have even given up resistance altogether, with some standing there and others raising their hands to signal that Abonlaho is offside.
Abang Lajo doesn't care so much, as long as the whistle doesn't blow, he will finish the shot and score first.
With a low shot, the ball passed through the net of Olympiacos' veteran Argentine goalkeeper Costanzo and rolled into the net.
“goooooooooooal!”
"Eight to two! Eight to two! Valverde's team suffered a terrible massacre! ”
"Eight to two! Eight goals, six goal difference! In an unbelievable game, after the 4-1 slaughter of the Bundesliga champion Borussia Dortmund in the first round of the group stage, Aston Villa slaughtered the Greek league champion Olympiacos 8-2 at home in the second round of the Champions League group stage! ”
"Eight to two! With twelve goals in two games, we were mentally prepared for the strength of Aston Villa, but no one expected Aston Villa to be so crazy! Who would have thought that after only two rounds of the group stage, Aston Villa would have scored twelve goals! "John. Mortenson roared hoarsely.
There was even a moment of silence at Villa Park, and even the home fans did not expect their team to be so ferocious.
Then, in an instant, huge cheers erupted.
Villa Park Stadium was like an earthquake.
……
Aston Villa's players celebrate their goals in excitement.
The Olympiacos players were completely devastated, some kneeling on the pitch, some standing there stunned, and some complaining to the referee that the goal was offside.
However, the goal replay showed that when De Bruyne passed the ball, Abonlaho and Olympiacos' last defender, Melberg, were level and not offside, which was a good goal.
Spanish referee Velasco also made the right decision: no offside, the goal is valid!
In the end, when the Spanish referee Velasco blew the whistle for the end of the game, the score of the game was fixed at 8:2!
Aston Villa thrashed Olympiacos 8-2 at home.
Fang Jue was very polite, and he walked straight to the lost Olympiacos coach Valverde.
"I'm sorry." Fang Jue shook hands with Valverde, hugged each other, and comforted, "I didn't expect ...... either"
He didn't know what to say, could it be that I was ready for you to cause us trouble, but I didn't expect you to be so unresistant......
Valverde's expression was frustrated, and he muttered, "Congratulations", and then, glaring at Fang Jue, "Let go!" ”
At the same time, he forcibly withdrew his hand from Fang Jue's clenched right hand and turned to leave.
Fang Jue Zabazar opened his mouth, he still wanted to comfort Valverde two more words.
Impolite.
Forget it, Fang Jue looked at the other party's dejected back and decided not to bother with Valverde.
Iniquity.
He's a poor man.
……
At the post-match press conference, a Greek journalist tactfully said that Aston Villa was too brutal.
Of course, Greek journalists won't say it explicitly, but if you taste it, that's pretty much what it means: it's too much, and it doesn't save face for Olympiacos at all.
Fang Jue said with a serious expression that Olympiacos is a strong team, and they must go all out, which is also a sign of respect for their opponents.
Off the field, Chinese reporter Zhong Dajun muttered, "If you want to blame, blame the head coach of Olympiacos." ”
"What do you mean?" A Chinese reporter asked next to him.
"Valverde's name." Zhong Dajun squeezed his eyes.
Everyone read the names and almost couldn't hold back their laughter.
It's a good thing that it's not called Jiu Ling and Shi Ling Wade.
Aston Villa's 8-2 home win over Olympiacos shocked European football and made the focus of global media coverage the day after the game.
This is the second largest score after the Champions League restructuring.
Yes, an eight-to-two score is not the craziest of all.
In November 2007, Liverpool slaughtered Besiktas 8-0 in the group stage, and in that game, Benayoun scored a hat-trick and two assists, and scored five goals by himself, which was an impressive moment of Benayoun's career.
After four years, another Premier League team slaughtered their opponents in the Champions League.
The Times, The Guardian, Manchester Evening News, Daily Mirror and other media outlets in England used the words "crazy game" on the front page.
It was definitely a crazy win for Aston Villa that went down in history.
UEFA also used headlines such as the incredible Bale and the incredible Aston Villa to cover the game.
Yes, in addition to the manager Fang Jue and Aston Villa, the team has been widely praised for scoring a hat-trick and having an assist, and Gareth who directed this crazy game alone. Bell was also the subject of frenzied praise from the media.
The Aston Villa club even spent special public relations expenses in private, and the media, represented by The Times, began to praise Bale wildly, of course, this is not embarrassing, Bale deserves such praise.
For the English media, there is not only money to take, but also to be teased with peace of mind, why not, and the English media also hope that the Premier League can come out with a world footballer after Ronaldo who went to Real Madrid.
Yes, Aston Villa has already started building momentum for Bale to compete for the 2011 FIFA Ballon d'Or.
At the Aston Villa club's top management, Bale's bid for the 2011 FIFA Ballon d'Or has been pushed to the highest level.
If Aston Villa wants to become a giant, they need such a world footballer who has been cultivated by themselves.
In a sense, it's even harder and more important than winning the Champions League.
S: Ask for a monthly pass, thank you.
