For Hydward, the familiar noise of Farton Park calmed him down quickly, and he looked around and was ready. Flash Dance.

Ireland international Given's header is cleared by Rudiger's header. The ball flew straight towards De Bruyne, who didn't look at it and paddled it forward. The most threatening pass in football is the through ball that passes through the gap between two defenders, which fans like to call "scalpel ball" or "seam ball", and a smart defender will stop at nothing to block such a pass, and if your teammate does pass such a ball, it means that he has done everything he can.

When to pass such a ball? Naturally, when the opponent's defense line is lined up in a straight line.

De Bruyne's first kick was an eye-popping scalpel, and Hydward knew it was one of the toughest passes in football, requiring him to communicate clearly, time and technique. The runner must grasp the timing of the run, the moment the ball is passed he can not be offside, when the ball is close to the opponent's defense, he must quickly sprint from the left defensive area or the right defensive area, this kind of running coordination in football is called diagonal pass straight insertion, is a very lethal tactical coordination.

Because of its unique power, this combination is far more likely to fail than to succeed, and in most cases it is hoped that the opponent's centre-back combination will make a mistake...... Aston Villa's centre-back Dunn reacted quickly and immediately activated the closing of the door to block the sudden passing line, but unfortunately another defender, Lowton, was slow to react by half a beat, Lowton was a full-back, and the team's main centre-back Clarke has not returned from injury, and he played in the first round of the Premier League in the first round. Flash Dance.

There was a big problem with this slow half-shot.

Mane started at high speed the moment De Bruyne gave the signal, and slid diagonally towards the back of the defence, Villa's pigtailed right-back Bennet pushed Mane behind him, but Mane was deftly dodged, and the young midfielder Delph chased after him, and was also pushed away by one of his shoulders, and the front was open. In just a moment, Mane fought his way through with his talent and strength.

Three players rushed towards Mane, but it was Lowton's slowness that sent the tide in Villa's favour, and the diagonal pass was already played. Of course, the delay of the defender for most of the previous half a second made the timing of the shot not so good, and Given's strict formation rushed out of the goal seven or eight meters away to block most of the shooting angle. The rest are either shot overhead or rubbed against the post. If Icardi were standing here, he might have the confidence to try that shot, but Mane feels he would be better off being selfless.

Sadio Mane showed his unrivalled composure and skill as he pretended to run past the goalkeeper, but at the same time looked up to see his team-mates following him, cut inside and flashed Lorton before picking up the ball again as the Villa centre-back was about to fill in. 35xs

Klose, who was running ghostly on the other side, scored the lead with a header from an unmarked position in the sixth minute.

It was undoubtedly a very good start, with Klose hugging Sadio Mane, who provided the assist, and De Bruyne, who was planning the attack, before raising three fingers and kissing them gently.

Kevin De Bruyne played in the middle of midfield because Heidward knew that Paul Lambert's side liked to press high in the middle of the midfield. Drinkwater left the team and everyone knew he was a rare talent, and he was a great threat when he was pushing forward with the ball, but Ward also stressed that the team could take advantage of the gap when he was not in a position on the counter-attack. The plan was for De Bruyne to do the job and turn the tide in the heart of the opposition's defence.

Now it looks like the 23-year-old Delph is no match for De Bruyne.

In the 21st minute, Drinking Water strained his own groin after a long-range shot, and after he staggered to be replaced by Scottish veteran Bannan, Lion Villa looked like his claws had been pulled out. The biggest difference between Drinkwater and Kevin De Bruyne is that the latter was almost inherently in control, creating goals for Klose and organising another attack for Brent, whose barbed shot grazed the crossbar. Lambert made a tactical adjustment after Kevin had been active for nearly 25 minutes.

Villa's side Jamie Vardy has transitioned from a striker to a midfielder, and a man too far from the box will not be able to create a threat. As for Mahrez, he sat on the bench in this game, and his position overlapped with Villa's No. 1 star Abang Lajo, but looking at Abang Lajo's fat body and fat ass, Mahrez is expected to get a chance soon.

After another 17 minutes, Portsmouth won a corner, Srna took the initiative to let De Bruyne go to the penalty, and he was on the side to make a tactical response, Srna and De Bruyne played a wonderful combination, tearing through the Villa defence and the former completed the goal, Given's world-class save put the close shot over the crossbar, and another corner. Switching sides, this time it was Srna who took the spot, aiming for Toni Rudiger near the near post and feeling the wind with his palm before the ball was released. As soon as the ball was sent out, Hydward felt that the quality was extremely high, and it was also true, the ball was fast but not floating, and Lowton, who had made a mistake before, made a mistake again, he did not follow Rudiger, who was pulling onions on dry ground in the penalty area, and with a quick flash of his neck, the ball flew from the top of his head into Given's ten fingers, it was that simple, so terrible!

The Faton Park pitch was boiling over as Srna and Rudiger celebrated around the corner flag, knocking each other down and rolling on the ground like two hopelessly happy children. Meanwhile, 30,000 of the 330,000 spectators have gone completely crazy and the purple stands are motionless, 2-0, and it feels like the team is closing in on a victory, an unstoppable blue force.

Hydward just felt like the team was playing comfortably, playing relaxed, firmly in control of possession, shots, shots on target, corners.

………………

Towards the end of the first half, at the other end of the pitch, Keylor Navas came out to confiscate a corner, which was not threatening but marked Villa's ambition.

Slowly, they tried to play more methodically, with De Bruyne heavily encircled, and once the midfield was firmly established, it was extremely difficult to put together a decent attack, but fortunately Portsmouth looked solid at the back, and even after a corner attempt by Delph was headed towards the door by Vardy, the team kept the back of the net intact. Klose, who was interspersed back and forth between the two penalty areas, the 34-year-old body seemed to have great energy, and completed the header clearance on the goal line, and the referee repeatedly confirmed with the help of the eagle eye that the ball did not cross the goal line as a whole. The ball bounced off the ground, and the tiger-like Maghri scrambled the ball out, only to be picked up by Navas again.

Keylor Navas fell to the ground, crushing the ball under him, a pair of scattered eyes patrolling the slowly retreating enemy back and forth, he adjusted his breathing, Portsmouth was about to do the same, Aston Villa was embattled for half an hour, a little stunned by the fast pace, pressing and a few high-quality attacks by Pompey's army, and now it was clear from the eyes of the opposing players that they were gradually gaining a foothold and the game was far from over.
