Holding on for 90 minutes is not difficult for Manchester United, but it depends on the team and the tactics of the opponent. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Aston Villa are the Championship champions, but this Championship title won against the mighty Tottenham Hotspur, which was similar to Leicester City in 2015-16, so Joseph knows that this Villa team must not be taken lightly.

But to Joseph's delight, he found that his opponent was also using defensive counter-attacking tactics, and he was also defense-oriented, and he was not aggressive in scrambling. This led Joseph to think that Villa were trying to drag the game into extra time, or even a penalty shootout, and then look at luck.

"After all, it's only a Championship team, even if it's stronger than the previous Championship champions, it's just a Championship team." Joseph thought so.

It's just that it's all a delusion.

……

Both teams played a lackluster first half without the slightest realisation that this was a Carabao Cup final. Both sides had 52 per cent possession and 48 per cent. This statistic seems to be a fierce battle between the two sides, but behind it is only thirteen offensive and defensive transitions. Including stoppage time, the average time spent on the ball by both teams was just over three minutes. And this time is already on par with the games in which Villa trained tactics before.

It's just that Wang Shuai and Joseph are not in a hurry about this situation. Wang Shuai rested in the shadows for forty-five minutes, enjoying his place. Joseph, on the other hand, believed in the quality of the team and had no problem taking the lead in the second half.

It has to be said that Joseph had paid too much attention to tactics and neglected other aspects. He didn't notice that Aston Villa, despite their defensive focus, kept United's possession area in the shadows.

As a result, the physical consumption of Manchester United players is nearly twice as much as that of Villa, and the most intuitive reflection is that the average mental attribute of Manchester United players is less than 50.

It's just that Wang Shuai also knows that such an advantage can't last long. After the two sides exchanged venues in the second half, United would be on the side without direct sunlight, and Villa's physical exertion would increase dramatically. So Villa must take the lead before their physical advantage is erased.

So, as soon as the second half began, Wang Shuai adjusted the team's tactics and pressed in front. On the one hand, such tactics can strengthen the team's attack. On the other hand, it can also allow the team to advance to the opponent's half, that is, the side that will not be exposed to the sun, which can reduce the team's physical exertion.

And although Joseph did not know the true intentions of Wang Shuai, he also knew that Villa's attack could not last the entire half. After the opponent's physical consumption is too large and the attack is turned to defense, Manchester United's opportunity will come. And what Joseph has to do now is to continue to strengthen the team's defense.

……

At half-time, Joseph noticed that his players were panting and sweating a lot. Unfortunately, Joseph couldn't see the situation on Vera's side, so he subconsciously thought that his opponent was just like him and didn't care too much.

It was only five minutes into the second half that Joseph found out. He found that Villa's players were quicker and more fluid than United, which was a clear indication that the opponent's physical strength was more than his own. Although he did not know how this phenomenon came about, Joseph understood that the other party now had a huge advantage.

It's just that Joseph is powerless to change the status quo at all, and can only blindly strengthen the team's defense, as long as Manchester United can survive this time, there is still a chance.

Unfortunately, the game did not go his way.

Wang Shuai knows that the most intuitive embodiment of the physical advantage is that the speed is faster, so in addition to pressing in the front court, Wang Shuai also gave the players more runs and more passes, which can maximize the speed advantage.

In the 54th minute, Wang Shuai grabbed the ball again near the center circle, and then stuffed it directly to David on the right side. The latter took advantage of his fitness advantage to stride away from United's defenders on the flank, then cut diagonally into the box and crossed the ball across the middle again before the opposition defenders could make up for it.

With David's breakthrough before, Wang Shuai was also plugged in, after receiving David's cross, Wang Shuai did not pause, and passed the ball to Laurie who also followed on the left side, and the defender who stepped forward to defend Wang Shuai also pounced.

After receiving the ball, Laurie glanced at the penalty area, adjusted the angle and sent a high cross.

Ibrahimovic grabbed a header in the penalty area with his height advantage, but under the interference of the opposing defender, he had lost the angle of the header, so he could only retreat and ferry the ball to Wang Shuai on the edge of the box.

After these rapid advances and passes, Manchester United's defense was completely disrupted, and they didn't notice that Villa's other striker, Wu Shi, was already unmarked.

It's just that Manchester United's defenders didn't notice this, which doesn't mean that Wang Shuai didn't notice. After following the green pass arrow to Wu Shi, the 23-year-old Chinese striker calmly kicked the ball into the near corner of the net.

1:0！

After the goal, Wang Shuai stopped the players from celebrating for a simple reason: to conserve energy. And the Villa players also know that they have a physical advantage now, so they understand Wang Shuai's approach very well, and after high-five each other, they ran back to their own half.

At this time, only ten minutes into the second half, Aston Villa's physical advantage still existed, so Wang Shuai did not adjust his tactics, because he felt that the team could rely on the physical advantage to expand the score again.

Facts have proved that Wang Shuai was right.

In the 62nd minute, in the same vein as the first goal, Villa once again disrupted United's defence after a number of passes. After Wang Shuai received David's cross, he completed a long shot at the top of the arc of the penalty area, and the football flew into the corner of the goal.

2:0！

After this goal, even if Villa still has a physical advantage, Wang Shuai also knows that this advantage is not big. So he once again adjusted the team's tactics to dense defense, and at the same time replaced Wu Shi, who scored a goal, with Greenhouse. Wang Shuai is already satisfied with the two-goal lead, and all he has to do now is to maintain this advantage until the end of the game.

Corresponding to Wang Shuai, Joseph directly changed two players, switching the original 4-4-2 formation to 4-3-3, and it was obvious that he was going to attack with all his might. Although Manchester United's current attacking tactics are not perfect, Joseph can only use the dead horse as a live horse doctor to fight for the last hand.

However, United's chaotic attacks clearly did not pose a threat to Villa's defence, and they only pulled a point back from a corner late in stoppage time.

But this goal was no longer helpful, because with this goal, the referee also blew the whistle for the end of the game.

"Toot ~! Honk~! Honk~~~!!! ”

2:1！

Aston Villa lifted the trophy in England's top flight for the first time in 24 years.
