Chapter 619: We. Vera. Very strong! (Ask for a commuter pass subscription)
The most direct impact of Aston Villa's Premier League title is that there are a lot of new fans around the world, and there are also many '10-year Villa fans' and '30-year Villa fans' who have sprung up like mushrooms.
Seemingly overnight, liking Aston Villa became a trend.
This is not surprising.
It also shows that it is a good phenomenon.
Every time a new champion is produced, this phenomenon occurs in a short period of time.
All the club has to do is keep such a large number of fresh supporters as much as possible.
Some of these people may not know Aston Villa or even watch the game.
Just seeing friends around me and suddenly like to talk about Aston Villa and wear Aston Villa shirts.
This creates a herd effect.
Ah, everybody's talking about Vera, they're all supporters of Vera.
Well, I'm sure too, I'm the one who has quietly supported Vera for thirty years, and now I can reveal my secret identity.
This part of the new fans does not know much about the game and is not familiar with Aston Villa.
Before the start of the new season, some media deliberately hyped that Aston Villa had sold a number of important players and at the same time made unfavorable signings in the transfer market.
It is said that Aston Villa's results in the new season are worrying.
Then, quite a few new fans started to get nervous and started to worry.
Ah, it seems that his identity as an Aston Villa fan for the past 30 years can't be kept, and he has to change his skin?
Aston Villa at home vs West Ham United in the first round of the Premier League.
There were many fans watching the game in front of the TV.
Even some new fans who are not familiar with Aston Villa and do not know much about the game can see the situation on the pitch.
Although they have yet to score, Aston Villa are almost squeezing West Ham United.
Doesn't it mean that Villa's strength is declining and the prospects are not promising?
Or is it that today's opponent is very poor?
……
Aston Villa's first goal came quickly.
Diego. Costa controls the ball outside the box.
Aston Villa's several forwards, Ronaldo is the most popular, Shepchenko is also a famous veteran, Abonlaho is the team's youth academy, and the England international star.
In fact, in terms of specific tactical roles, it is Diego who is the most important. Costa.
Because of Diego. Costa can best fulfill Fang Jue's tactical requirements.
He has good physical confrontation ability, good technique on his feet, full of physical strength, and most importantly, is very obedient.
Fang Jue asked Costa to keep running, looking for opportunities, interspersing back and forth, and even actively looking for confrontations to disrupt the opponent's defense.
Of the several strikers, only Costa can do this kind of work.
Now, Diego. Costa's frequent pull-out of the box to respond stems from such tactical requirements.
Diego. Costa pulled out of the box and West Ham centre-back Tomkins had to follow.
He clung to Costa, held him and didn't let him get the ball easy.
Costa leaned against Tomkins and tried to force a turn.
This guy is so strong!
Tomkins resisted Costa's brute force charge, and this guy used his thick back to hit backwards in small increments, almost like a brute bull.
Moreover, such a collision action is very subtle and small, and Tomkins does not dare to take advantage of the situation to fall to the ground and make the opponent foul.
In the Premier League, physical confrontation is allowed, and if the referee does not see it, or thinks that there is no foul, then the opponent can dribble directly into the penalty area.
Seeing that Tomkins was struggling to defend Costa, full-back Barella ran over to help.
That's the opportunity Costa was waiting for.
It was at this time that Costa passed the ball before the encirclement was formed.
……
Deisler gets the ball.
Aston Villa's new captain didn't stop the ball and took advantage of the situation.
The ball slipped through the gaps in the West Ham defence.
And at the same time, Sardio. Mane suddenly stepped forward.
The Senegalese youngster made his way through the West Ham backline, appeared behind them and – got on the ball!
"Mane! No offside!! "Narrator John. Mortenson shouted abruptly.
Last season, Sadio Mane was more of a substitute and rarely got a start.
For an eighteen-year-old, that's a lot of playing time.
But who wouldn't be hungry for more playing time? Hungry for more attention?
Hungry to start?
In the first round of the new season, he got the opportunity to start.
This made Mane very excited.
Young Mane is full of fighting spirit.
He was going to tell the coach that it was a very, very good decision to start Mane.
He's going to prove that he's worthy of starting.
……
West Ham United goalkeeper Green dropped the shot.
Against the former England international, Sadio Mane showed plenty of composure and good luck.
He opted to shoot into the far corner.
The soccer ball arcs through it.
Goalkeeper Green, despite touching the ball slightly, has not been able to completely change the trend of the ball flying towards the goal.
The soccer ball hit the inside of the post.
Bounced back, crossed the goal first, rolled into the net aaaaal! "John. Mortenson's elongated Goal voice rang out with excitement.
"Thadio. Mane! Mane! Mane! He scored, he scored for Aston Villa! ”
'Sadio Mane, he scored the first goal of the new season for Aston Villa!'
"Beautiful!! Mane's shot! Aston Villa take a one-goal lead! ”
Sadio Mane was thrilled after the goal.
He turned around and ran, and had just run two steps, but his speed slowed down.
He didn't know how to celebrate.
Mane turned his head to look for it, and he looked at Ronaldo.
Although Ronaldo is the biggest player in the team, he is very easy-going, does not put on a show, takes care of young people, and has a good relationship with many players.
Above all, Mane is targeting a target.
Then, in his brain, following the target he had locked, he quickly gave a command to Mane what the guy's most common celebratory gesture was.
Everyone then saw that Mane continued to run, shaking a finger as he ran, and at the same time cracking his mouth, baring his big white teeth and smirking.
This silly boy!
Fang Jue was also happy on the sidelines.
He knew at a glance that Mane was mimicking Ronaldo's celebration.
It's no secret that Sadio Mane has a dazed and difficult celebration, which is no secret in the Aston Villa squad.
In fact, when he was in Ibiza, Fang Jue knew about this interesting thing.
The live broadcast also captured this interesting scene.
After Mane scored, he ran two steps, slowed down and looked at Ronaldo.
Target: Ronnie!
Imitation begins.
Many fans in front of the TV have long been happy.
This is a fool, a fool.
Well done!
……
Sadio Mane's goal opened the scoring for Aston Villa.
It's like poking open that layer of window paper.
Later, you will be able to enter smoothly.
West Ham have been putting up weaker and weaker resistance in the face of Aston Villa's continued and consistent strong attacking output.
The thirty-fifth minute of the first half.
Gareth. Bale plays a high ball into the box from the right.
Diego. Costa header ferry.
Ronaldo scrambled to clear the ball before he cleared the ball and fired a beautiful volley past West Ham United's goal. ”
"Ronaldo! The second! Two to zero! ”
"This is Aston Villa, this is the quality of the reigning Premier League champions!"
'Aston Villa showed everyone how strong they are and West Ham's resistance is falling apart.'
Listening to the commentator's words, many new Villa fans of 30 years are both excited and a little surprised, doesn't it mean that our favorite team is not in a good situation this season?
"Previously, some media thought that Aston Villa's strength was declining and the prospects for the new season were not optimistic, in fact, this is just a false illusion." He Wei said.
"Let's not talk about anything else, just talk about Aston Villa's starting line-up today."
'Cuellar at right-back, Sendros and Davies at centre-back and James Milner at left-back.
'Clement in midfield, Mane on the left, Gareth Bale on the right, and Deisler in the middle.
"Up front is Diego. Costa and Ronaldo. ”
"Except for Sadio Mane, who was not the main player last season, the other players were the main players last season."
'In fact, Mane is also a rising star that Aston Villa developed last season and is considered the next Bale.
"So, actually, Aston Villa's starting line-up today is a strong title winning line-up."
"And from the situation of the first half, Bale on the left and Mane on the right, such a combination is simply two wings, and West Ham United can't stop it at all."
"Fang Jue's guidance on the team's lineup, just changed one player, and reversed the positions on the two wings, and it burst out with greater offensive energy."
Commentary like CCTV commentator explaining why Aston Villa is so strong is being staged in live broadcasts in various countries and regions.
The new Vera fan in front of the TV has an expression that Lao Tzu has known for a long time:
Yes.
We.
Vera.
Very strong.
It's always been so strong!
Don't be surprised!
