Thomas looked at the football in the net in a daze, he had seen the leaf ball, and he had also seen the outside instep arc, but he had never seen the combination of these two shots, let alone that the other party was just a Chinese player. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Thomas was stupid, Pacio was stupid, the whole Tottenham team was stupid. They just took the lead by one goal and were immediately equalised, which is not uncommon for them, but today's opponent is a Championship team.

Steady!

Unlike Tottenham, Wang Shuai's heart is happy.

In today's game, Wang Shuai is running for peace. According to the rules of the FA Cup, if the two sides draw before the semi-finals, an additional play-off will be played, with the play-offs swapping home and away. If the play-offs are drawn, the team with the most away goals advances. And if the number of away goals is the same, it will be decided by 30 minutes of extra time or even penalty kicks.

And now the situation is that Aston Villa and Tottenham are back on the same page again, and at the same time, Villa also have an away goal, and the initiative is instantly transferred from Tottenham to Villa. If Villa can return to Villa Park with a draw with away goals, then Villa's hopes of progressing can be greatly increased.

It's just that even so, Wang Shuai knows that the situation is not as optimistic as he imagined. After all, the opponent is Tottenham, and Villa's side is not yet full-fledged, so it will not be easy to keep the draw for the rest of the time and the play-offs. If Tottenham take the lead again in this game, or score a goal in the play-offs, it is really hard to say whether Villa will be able to progress.

Like Wang Shuai, Pacio is also thinking on the bad side. He is confident in Tottenham's attacking prowess, but nothing is foolproof. Villa's defensive ability is not weak, Pacio is well aware of this, and it is not impossible for the opponent to hold the gate for the rest of the day. What's more, if Tottenham attacks aggressively and is seized by the opponent to score a goal on the counter-attack, Villa has two away goals, which is really too passive for Tottenham.

After thinking about it, Pacio couldn't decide for a moment whether he should attack aggressively or strengthen the defense. Fortunately, there were only more than 10 minutes left in the first half, and Pacio allowed the team to switch back to the previous 20 minutes of tactics, and decided to adjust the tactics at half-time.

Villa, for their part, also shrunk their formation after the goal. Wang Shuai is also not sure whether Tottenham will launch a large-scale counteroffensive, so he will simply accept it when he sees it, anyway, it is his own side that has the initiative now, and he is not in a hurry.

Wang Shuai and Pacio really wanted to attack, but they really didn't dare. One is afraid that the advantage in hand will be ceded to the other party again, and the other is afraid that the opponent's advantage will expand again. As a result, the two teams against each other are like two martial arts masters who are sparring, although they shoot steadily and accurately, but after one move, they will die down and stop at the point. Fifteen minutes later, with the "tacit cooperation" of Wang Shuai and Pacio, the first half also ended with a score of 1:1.

And with the end of the first half, this peaceful situation also came to an abrupt end.

In the second half, both sides launched fierce attacks on the opposing defence.

Pacio thinks that attacking is Tottenham's forte, why should he sacrifice his roots to defend, as long as the team can lead again, the initiative will not return to his own hands.

Wang Shuai thought that it was difficult to defend the current situation alone, so it was better to attack with all his might, and if he could overtake the score, it would not be too late to defend at that time. And if you wait until the opponent breaks through their own defense line before counterattacking, it will definitely be too late. What's more, the team has always been divided between offense and defense, as long as you work hard and make a few more trips back and forth at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, in fact, Villa's defensive intensity will not drop much. Besides, there is still the skill of "thief" (see Chapter 2 of Volume 2), and chasing back defense is a big killer weapon for Wang Shuai.

In fact, just as Wang Shuai thought, under the effect of the skill of "thief", Wang Shuai frequently killed from behind Tottenham's ball carriers, although he could not break the ball every time, but it also greatly reduced Tottenham's offensive power. On the contrary, on the side of Villa, due to Tottenham's aggressive attack, the midfield is inevitably empty, and Wang Shuai has repeatedly threatened Tottenham's goal. Unfortunately, Tottenham goalkeeper Thomas made a great deal of effort to save several of Villa's shots.

Villa and Tottenham, you go back and forth against the two sides, and they are very happy. But relying on Wang Shuai, who was running all over the field, and Thomas, who was in full condition, the score still stayed at 1:1.

Until the 75th minute.

Falma couldn't stand Wang Shuai, who frequently sneaked from behind, and when the opponent broke the ball from his feet again, Falma fell forward. It's just that the referee's whistle didn't sound as he expected.

"Hey, referee, he's fouled!" Falma shouted as she looked at the referee who was making the gesture to continue the game.

Hearing Falma's shout, the referee looked back at him speechlessly. This Falma really doesn't have a long memory, he received a yellow card in the first half for disagreeing with the decision, and now he is still coming?

However, the referee only saw clearly that Wang Shuai did not foul, and he really didn't know whether Falma faked a fall. In addition, Falma already has a yellow body, if the cards are played again, then Falma can go straight to the game. The game has reached this stage, and sending one person off at this time is likely to have a direct impact on the outcome of the game. And because of Falma's words, he made a decision that affected the direction of the game, although the referee wanted to, but it was really difficult to take out this card. Not to mention that this is still Tottenham's home stadium, and the referee has to more or less take into account the home mood.

It's just that Falma didn't know what the referee was thinking, and seeing that the referee was indifferent, he had to stand up, and then muttered: "What a fucking blind!" ”

Falma's voice was not loud, but it was so good that the fans in the audience were singing the team anthem to cheer on the home team, just in time for the pause between the two bars. It was this silence of less than a second, and Falma's words were heard by the referee.

"Toot ~!"

Blowing the whistle, taking out the yellow card, then taking out the red card, pointing to the outside of the field, the referee's actions are done in one go. It's not too much to insult the referee and give a yellow card.

Falma was dumbfounded, and just as he wanted to defend a few words, the replay on the big screen on the sidelines began to play just now, which was a close-up of Falma. Although there was no sound in the playback, everyone present read it out to Falma's lips.

What a fucking blindness!

This time, Falma was really at a loss for words, so she could only walk to the sidelines in a stupid manner. And Pacio on the sidelines was even more angry, because of this guy in the first half, he gave the opponent the equalizing free kick, and now it's him again. When the game was the most stalemate, both sides were going to have a final battle, and one person was sent off on their side, which is not the same as giving the victory to the other party?!

But Pacio also knew that now was not the time to lose his temper, glared at Farma fiercely, beckoned to another midfielder on the bench, and replaced one of the strikers on the field. At this time, Pacio will no longer think about attacking, and with one less person to fight, it is the biggest victory to be able to hold the draw.

……

Five minutes later, from the dismissal of Farma to the Tottenham substitution, the game was finally restarted. When the referee blew the whistle before, Wang Shuai had just taken the ball out of the center circle, and now the game was restarted in the same position, and it was Zhou Aniu who took the free kick.

Even though it's an indirect free-kick and can't be shot directly, it's a good free-kick in this position. Penetrating with short passes, rushing with long balls, and plugging through the wings, Villa can organise an effective attack no matter which way they choose. And for Zhou Aniu, his best way is, of course, long passing.

Boom!

Thanks to the perverted strength attribute, Zhou Aniu's serve flew directly to the big penalty area, and Wu Shi and Yibu were already waiting inside. It's just that after all, the ball came from the midfield, and when the football flew to the landing point, goalkeeper Thomas had already rushed out and knocked the football out with a single punch.

It's just that after all, it is boxing, and there are two strikers from Villa around him, Thomas's clearance is not too far, and it is not a coincidence that it is Wang Shuai who receives the football again.

Wang Shuai was not close to the penalty area before, and he only started to move towards the penalty area after Zhou Aniu served, and now he is just facing the direction where the football is flying. Looking at the dense crowd in the penalty area, Wang Shuai gave up the intention of shooting directly from a distance, because there was no shooting angle. But then, Wang Shuai found that Thomas had just stabilized his body after hitting the ball and had not returned to the goal. So Wang Shuai did not hesitate and kicked the ball directly to the far corner of the goal.

Hanging shot!

Thomas reacted instantly when he saw Wang Shuai's shot, pulled his leg and began to run back, but there were a lot of people in the penalty area, and Thomas didn't know whose leg he kicked and stumbled. At this moment, Thomas instinctively knew that he couldn't catch up with the ball.

Also running towards goal was the Tottenham defender, who struggled to get up in front of goal, intending to push the ball out, but ultimately slowed down. He could even feel the ball flying against his hair, and then he could see the ball hit the sidenetting, bounce twice on the ground, and stop.

1:2！

With ten minutes remaining, Villa managed to take the lead.

Wang Shuai was blocked by other players after the shot and didn't see the ball into the net, but soon he saw Wu Shi and Ibu waving their arms and yelling at him as they didn't know what was going on.

Seeing this scene, even a fool knows that the ball is in.

Lore!

Whether it is at home or in England, Wang Shuai has not scored a killer goal. For example, in the first half of the game against Newcastle, Aston Villa won the game with Wang Shuai's last-minute goal. But among these loreblows, today's one is definitely the heaviest one.

Looking at the Villa players celebrating on the field, Tottenham manager Pacio was bitter on the sidelines. The team was sent off, and as soon as he replaced a striker with a midfielder to strengthen the defense, the opponent overtook the score. Now that there is one less striker, the main midfielder has been sent off again, and he is behind in the last ten minutes, how can this game be played?!

"Attack! Offensive! Offensive!!! Pacio yelled at the players from the sidelines.

He can't help it, this is the knockout FA Cup, and losing means leaving. Even if the team's offensive ability has shrunk significantly, it still has to be attacked.

And Wang Shuai is not a fool, after celebrating with his teammates, he immediately gave instructions to defend intensively, and also used the team's last substitution, replacing Ibrahimovic with Greenhouse.

Changing strikers in the midfield, Wang Shuai not only wants to strengthen the team's defense, but also uses substitutions to delay time. As a veteran, Greenhouse also understood Wang Shuai's intentions and walked to the field unhurriedly.

The goal celebration, combined with the substitutions, did not count stoppage time, and there were only six minutes left in the game.

Time was of the essence and every Tottenham player knew that, so after kicking off in the centre circle, they didn't pass the ball back to the back at all, but directly controlled the ball by the midfielder.

It's just that Tottenham's attack is not easy to break through Villa's defense, and now they have one less striker, and Villa have one more versatile midfielder. What's more, Villa also put on a dense defensive formation, and Tottenham really only has a theoretical possibility left if they want to break through Villa's defense.

……

Regulation time was quickly exhausted in two fruitless attacks by Tottenham, and the fourth official also held up a sign in his hand with a big '3' written on it.

There weren't many interruptions in the second half and three minutes of stoppage time made sense. But the fans at the scene would not think so, in their opinion, after Wang Shuai's goal, Villa delayed the game too much, even if it was five minutes of stoppage time. Just the thoughts of Tottenham fans don't change the referee's decision, and they know they're just moaning weakly.

What is even more disadvantageous for Tottenham is that when the game enters stoppage time, the ball is at the feet of Aston Villa, and it is Wang Shuai who controls the ball.

In the past few months in England, Wang Shuai's skills have improved a lot, even in the face of Tottenham, he can control the ball steadily. What's more, the opponent is now missing a player, and the main midfielder has been sent off, so it is not difficult to control the ball until the end of the game.

Wang Shuai in the second half, a lot of back and forth, after 90 minutes of play, even if he has outstanding physical strength, he is tired now. But Wang Shuai was still happy to fly the kite in the last time, and from time to time when the opponent stepped forward to wrap up, he and his teammates completed a pass and control cooperation. Wang Shuai knew very well in his heart that if he held on for another three minutes, he would win the game.

Tottenham's starting midfielders, Epps and Grigor, are already on the verge of scolding their mothers. Wang Shuai is younger than them, and his physical strength is naturally more abundant than them, and the two of them can't keep up with each other at all now, so they can only occasionally go to wrap up. It's just that Wang Shuai is slippery like a loach, and every time before they can get the bag in place, Wang Shuai passes the ball out. And the substitute midfielder is simply impossible to cut off the ball from Wang Shuai's feet.

The players on the pitch can't see how much time is left in the game, but they can judge the progress of the game by the performance of others. For example, the referee has started to look at his watch frequently.

Tottenham's players fought harder because they knew they had only one last chance left to attack, provided they had to get the ball first, of course.

Wang Shuai also saw the referee's movements, and at the same time saw that all the midfielders on the other side ran over as if they were themselves. At this time, Wang Shuai knew that all he had to do was to continue to control the ball in the hands of Villa. So, Wang Shuai made a return pass and knocked the ball to goalkeeper Kassel.

Seeing Wang Shuai's movements, Tottenham's two strikers immediately turned around and ran towards Kassel. Kassel waited until they were almost in front of him before kicking the ball forward, successfully delaying it for a few seconds.

The referee glanced at the soccer ball flying over his head, then at his watch, and finally blew the whistle that had been in his mouth for more than a minute.

"Toot ~! Honk~! Honk~~~!!! ”
