After referee Atkinson's whistle, Abonlaho took two or three steps to run and volleyed!

Although the angle and speed of the shot were not impressive, Abang Lajo deceived the goalkeeper.

Abang Lajo kicked to the left and goalkeeper Givens pounced on his left aaaaal! ”

"The ball is in! １：０！ Aston Villa, playing at home, are ahead of Manchester City! ”

There was a huge cheer from the stands at Villa Park.

Led by a live broadcast at Villa Park, fans cheered Abonlaho by name.

For the Aston Villa Academy player, Villa fans love it from the bottom of their hearts.

Abang Lajo ran to the side of the stands, yelling in celebration, and behind him were his teammates who were running.

On the sidelines, Fang Jue vibrated his arm vigorously.

"This kid is not bad, I was really worried that he would miss the penalty just now." Steven. Werner said.

"Cunning little one." Fang Jue chuckled, he guessed that Abang Laho had deliberately shown a nervous posture just now to confuse the experienced Jiwen.

"Fang, our luck is really good." The assistants excitedly said that it was unlucky to turn a clearance into an attack, and then get a penalty and a red card when they stumbled and staggered.

"Well, I've always had good luck." Fang Jue nodded, he had always believed that people who were humble, low-key, pure and kind would have good character.

……

As the Aston Villa squad celebrated the goal, Mark Hughes pestered the fourth official to protest the referee's decision.

Mark Hughes questioned the penalty and he also questioned Bridge's red card.

"This is an unfair sentence!" Mark Hughes shouted.

The fourth official had a straight face, and he sternly warned Mark Hughes to be careful and not to talk nonsense without solid evidence.

"If you have proof, you can file a report after the game, but, for now, please shut up, Mr. Hughes."

Mark Hughes snorted and walked back to the dugout.

'Mark Hughes was protesting just now, and he wasn't happy with referee Atkinson's decision. Lineker said, "But, let's be honest, there's no problem with the penalty kick, there's no problem with the red card. ”

"If Hughes really wants to complain, complain about their own bad luck." Tony Parker also shook his head and said, "This can give Aston Villa a penalty and a red card package, Manchester City's luck is really bad." ”

"Now, the question is, one less person, 0-1 down, how do Manchester City play? Hughes needs to make adjustments as soon as possible. "John. Mortenson said.

……

Fang Jue didn't have the time to pay attention to the argument between Mark Hughes and the fourth official, he was thinking about how to play when the team was leading 1-0.

Now his side is one goal ahead and Manchester City are one man less.

The odds are in Aston Villa's favour.

'We have to be careful of City's comeback.' Ceballos said beside him.

This Manchester City team is strong, star-studded, even if there is one less, it should not be underestimated.

Fang Jue nodded, "I agree with you, Thor. ”

Fang Jue walked to the sidelines, and he shouted the name of Cuellar, the team's captain on the field.

Cuellar looked at it.

Fang Jue immediately made a downward gesture, reminding the players to be steady, not to wave, to maintain a normal heart, and not to float up because of one more person.

Cuellar made a 'received' gesture and then shouted loudly to convey the coach's tactical intent to the crowd.

Fang Jue nodded and walked back to his seat.

Fang Jue has always agreed with a point of view that the most dangerous moment of a game, the moment when the most likely to lose the ball, is precisely when the side has just lost the ball or just scored a goal, at this time, the mood swings are large, the thinking is not unified, and it is easy for the opponent to seize the opportunity.

"Do we need to make any changes?" Werner asked.

Fang Jue shook his head, at this time, in fact, he didn't need to do anything.

He just needs to wait for Mark Hughes to make adjustments, and then respond appropriately according to the actual situation.

Is Mark Hughes going to make adjustments?

That's for sure.

With Bridge being substituted and Manchester City having one less defender, Mark Hughes will have to make targeted changes.

Whether it's making personnel frame skips, or adjusting the formation.

……

Mark Hughes quickly made the adjustment, and instead of making a substitution, he set up Gareth. Barry went to left-back, then Tevez dropped back and the Argentine formed a midfield three with Ireland and Wright Phillips up front, with Robinho Robinho II and Bam Adebayo up front.

This kind of adjustment also stunned Fang Jue.

It's not that this adjustment is so awesome or breathtaking.

But in Fang Jue's opinion, this adjustment is simply messy, no, to be precise, it is suicide.

Mark Hughes is Manchester City, who have maintained a full back four, but in midfield, whether it is Ireland or Wright, Phillips or Tevez, they are purely attacking players.

Manchester City have one man less, and the midfield does not have a real midfielder.

Is this going to win the game with Wright, Phillips, Ireland, Tevez, Robinho and Adebayo as the top five attackers?

'How confident he is in City's attack.' Fang Jue sighed.

"Mark Hughes, it's taking a risk." John. Mortensen said bluntly, "With this adjustment, either they can score quickly or their defence will be more easily penetrated by Villa. ”

'I even expected City to concede a goal. Lineker put it more bluntly, "There is a lack of hardness in midfield, Manchester City are easy to tackle, and Fang Jue's team is the best at counter-attacking, as you can see from his time in charge of Ibiza. ”

……

"Fight back! Don't forget to fight back! ”

"Seize every opportunity to fight back!"

Fang Jue shouted loudly from the sidelines.

Although there was no evidence to prove his guess, Fang Jue still insisted that after using the skill card, the earlier the time, the better the effect.

Therefore, he is looking forward to the team's counterattack to be effective again as soon as possible.

This is City's chance to get a free-kick up front.

Gareth. Barry comes up to take the free-kick.

The ball flies into the penalty area.

Bam Adebayor tried to head home, but Aston Villa's German international Nke did well to get the ball out with a single punch.

Milner won the ball at the top of the box and immediately passed the ball to Clement in front of him, who flicked the ball to Quaresma on the right.

"Fight back! This is Villa's chance to fight back. ”

Gareth who just came up to take a free kick. Barry was shocked and rushed back to defend.

Quaresma, however, stabbed the ball in time to Abanglajo, who was cruising to the right to pick up.

Abang Lajo spread his feet and dribbled forward at high speed.

"It's this set again!" Mark Hughes said angrily.

In his opinion, Aston Villa's counterattack has no technology at all, and when he has the opportunity, he will directly find Abonlaho in front, take advantage of Abonlaho's speed, and after getting the ball, he will be crazy.

Manchester City's centre-back Colo Toure went out of the box to intercept Abang Lajo.

Abang Laho tries to cut inside and get past the other man.

Toure poked his foot.

The football was stabbed open.

Abang Laho's strong physicality was reflected at this moment, he immediately counter-robbed, the two pulled and pulled, in the scramble, I don't know who stabbed a kick, the football was kicked away, just in time to be followed by Quaresma.

……

"Quaresma!"

The Portuguese star didn't cross, but cut inside and slipped into the box!

"It's in the restricted area!"

After seeing Quaresma dribble into the box, there was chaos in front of Manchester City's goal.

"Oh my God, it's Milner!"

A burgundy figure rushed to the middle of the penalty area, ready to grab a point.

It turned out to be Milner, who won the ball from his own half and instigated this counter-attack, and he actually sprinted all the way from one side of the box to the other side.

"Hey! This kid! Fang Jue couldn't help but applaud and rejoice.

He just likes calves like that.

City's defenders rushed towards Quaresma, ready to stop a possible shot or pass.

"Block him to shoot!" Manchester City goalkeeper Givens shouted that he judged the Portuguese to want to show his shooting footwork and would choose to shoot.

Sure enough!

Before Given's words could be finished, Quaresma shot.

Make an arc with your left foot.

Given's preparation for this was a pre-emptive move, and he even made a pre-judgment move the moment Guardesma shot at goal.

Smack!

The football was played out by Given.

"Beautiful save!"

"Pounced out—this—" Lineker's voice stopped abruptly, what did he see?

The soccer ball played by Given, which hit the head of the rushing Milner, bounced back and flew into the net! ”

'Milner's goal! Aston Villa 2-0 Manchester City! ”

"What can I say? Given's throw hit Milner's head and it bounced into the net. ”

'City's luck is terrible. Lineker shook his head, "However, this goal was not just luck, Manchester City's midfield was completely broken. ”

'Yes, there is no defensive midfielder in midfield, Aston Villa quickly passed through the midfield and counter-attacked one by one.

Mark Hughes was completely stunned, and he was about to raise his hands in cheer as Given's throw the ball out, when he saw such an incredible scene.

"What's going on?"

Fang Jue also got up from his seat all of a sudden, staring at the arena with wide eyes, his eyes full of incredulity.

Then, the fans in front of the TV saw the cute shocked expression of the young and handsome coach, as if to say: This can also be entered?

Ceballos hugged Fang Jue and shouted in his ear, "Fang, today must be our lucky day." ”

"No one is lucky." Werner also laughed, "James [Milner] should go buy a mega millions ticket." ”

In the end, at the end of the first half, Aston Villa were 2-0 up at home to Manchester City.

It was a score that no one expected before the game.

Aston Villa, who are short of major generals, have a two-goal lead and also lead in numbers.

At half-time, Manchester City manager Mark Hughes approached referee Atkinson on duty in the corridor and protested again over Bridge's penalty and red card.

Atkinson patiently listened to the Manchester City manager's advice and refused to accept his protests, believing that he was right.

……

In the home team's dressing room.

Fang Jue praised the performance of the whole team.

He encouraged the team to keep up in the second half.

"Now, it's not us who are in a hurry, it's the people of Manchester City."

"We have the numbers and the scores, so we can play with a more relaxed mentality."

"Defend solidly and wait for an opportunity to counterattack."

After explaining the tactics and telling the details that need to be paid attention to, Fang Jue let the players move freely.

"There seems to be an argument over there." Werner sneaked up and said.

"Huh?"

Werner said that when a staff member saw the door to the visiting team's locker room slammed shut, Mark Hughes angrily walked out, washed his face in the bathroom before walking back in.

Fang Jue shook his head and didn't say anything.

Although he envies Manchester City's luxury configuration, he does not envy Mark Hughes, and it is obvious that with Hughes's coaching ability and resume, he can't suppress these stars at all.

If nothing else, does Hughes have a trophy for the Cup winners? Is there a top league title? Is there a UEFA Cup title?

Or to put it more bluntly, he can pat his chest and say that the team is his, he is the boss, and Mark Hughes only has envy.

……

Before the start of the second half, Manchester City made a substitution.

Togolese striker Bam Adebayo was substituted and veteran French Patrick Vieira came on as a substitute.

Tevez returned to the attacking position, with Patrick Vieira in the middle of midfield to strengthen City's midfield defence.

The substitution was fruitful.

Although Vieira is old, the experienced French veteran has carried Manchester City's previous 'undefended' midfield to a certain extent.

However, the situation of falling behind 0-2 in the first half, coupled with one less person, directly determined the difficulty of Manchester City's comeback.

Tevez pulled a goal back for Manchester City in the 55th minute after receiving a pass from Robinho.

However, soon, Manchester City made a mistake in their own pass at the back, and Ashley Young broke the ball and crossed underneath.

I have to say that the quality of Ashley Young's passing: hard to put into words.

Van Nistelrooy grabbed the point in front of him, what a good position, the football did not pass, but went directly in the air and flew behind Van Nistelrooy.

Ruud van Nistelrooy thought the ball could be passed and he stepped forward to grab the spot, the ball flew behind him, and goalkeeper Given, who was disturbed by him, fell to the ground without touching the ball.

It also interfered with the other City defenders, who had no idea Ashley Young's pass could be so weird.

Then, people saw Quaresma rush up and shoot at the ball!

This time, the Portuguese finally managed to show his footwork, and the ball crossed an arc and slid into the top right corner of the goal:

Manchester City goalkeeper Givens fell to the ground at this time and did not get up yet.

On the sidelines, Fang Jue opened his mouth wide, his eyes widened, his face was shocked, and then he was ecstatic, saying something loudly, and waving his arms vigorously.
