Chapter Twenty-Six: Confrontation
"Yes, hold on, just like in training, don't worry. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Despite winning the ball and making up his mind to play the attack, Aston Villa's pace was snail-like, and two minutes had passed without the ball being kicked over the halfway line.
It's not that Aston Villa doesn't attack, but Wang Shuai knows that since he wants to play against the attack, it is necessary to ensure the success rate of the attack, and stabilizing the ball is the first step. And this first round of attack will play a decisive role in the rest of the game.
"Laurie, look at the people!"
Wang Shuai controlled the ball while observing the position of his teammates and correcting their mistakes.
Look at people, this is a method that Wang Shuai came up with to improve tactical tacit understanding. In Wang Shuai's view, the reason why there was an error in the passing of the arc formation before Villa was because he didn't look at people. Although the players have a good idea of when to change to which position, due to the different level of understanding of tactics in each person, it is inevitable that there will be mistakes in coordination. While running, you can always observe the movement and kicking of your teammates, and you can make adjustments to yourself, so as to greatly reduce the coordination error.
Judging from the current effect, Wang Shuai's method is undoubtedly effective, at least Wang Shuai feels that he is very satisfied with the few passes just now.
Another five minutes later, Aston Villa's formation finally moved closer to the box.
"David, Laurie, get closer in the middle!"
Once on the edge of the box, Barnsley's defensive formation was undoubtedly much tighter, and the density of players in the possession area increased considerably. At this time, if you continue to use the formation when you advanced just now, there is no doubt that it will be too loose, and the control of the ball will be greatly reduced, so Wang Shuai made a timely adjustment to the formation.
As David and Laurie moved towards the middle, Barnsley's two full-backs moved closer to the box, making the possession area even more crowded. However, this will not affect Villa's attack, after all, Barnsley's defensive players are ridiculously weak.
"Wu Shi! Herman! Wang Shuai shouted the names of the two forwards and made a one-handed forward gesture. This is a tactic improved by Wang Shuai on the basis of the umbrella array, and Wang Shuai gave it the name of "bulldozer". As the name suggests, it is to let the two strikers advance towards the small penalty area, and use their threat to the goal to "push" the defenders in front of the goal, so as to create space for the players behind to shoot. And if the defenders don't follow suit, then the two strikers are really a big threat.
Seeing Wu Shi and Herman move towards the goal, Barnsley's two central defenders followed helplessly, Wang Shuai immediately changed the direction of the ball when he saw this, opened up the shot space for himself, and followed by a powerful shot.
"Bang~!"
The ball flew into the corner of the net with a slight arc, and the Barnsley goalkeeper rushed to make a save, only to have the ball plummet less than two metres in front of goal.
Falling Ball Shot.
Syllable~!
Brush~!
The ball bounces on the goal line and goes into the net easily.
1:0!
The Aston Villa players briefly celebrated and began to retreat. Wang Shuai didn't treat it as tactical training in this game, which means they can let go of their hands and feet to attack, and the opponent is not a strong team like Newcastle, so compared to the game will end by a big score, now there is really nothing to celebrate just scored a goal.
In fact, there is really nothing to celebrate, because today's game is a big battle of attack, and the attack is obviously to be played by both teams.
After Barnsley restarted, the ball went straight into the hands of striker Lukes. Since the midfielder can't provide Lukes with cannonballs, it would be better to turn Lukes into a self-propelled gun and let him carry the ball to attack Villa's defence. And Lukes is worthy of being a senior professional player who is known for his skill attributes, and without Wang Shuai's marking, he easily broke through Aston Villa's midfield defense and came to the penalty area. Faced with two Villa centre-backs, Lukes remained unchanged and created two chances for himself to shoot in succession, followed by a shot with his feet.
Boom~!
Nation~!
Brush~!
Lucks' masterful accuracy attribute came into play, as the ball hit the inside of the post and catapulted into the net.
1:1!
In the opening less than five minutes, both sides scored one goal each.
……
"Everyone did a good job, we were two goals ahead," Wang Shuai encouraged the players in the locker room after the 4:2 end of the first half, "Michael, those two saves were wonderful, and the second half continued." I'll still be keeping an eye on Lux in midfield, Greenhouse, and the rest of the midfield will be left to you, Connor and Colin, if I don't keep up with Lukes, you'll be a little tighter. ”
After Lukes scored a goal in the first half, Wang Shuai immediately adjusted his defensive strategy and took the task of marking Lukes on himself, which undoubtedly greatly reduced Barnsley's offensive efficiency. It's just that Lux has more than 170 real skill attributes, and Wang Shuai can't do 100% defense against the opponent, which still gives Lux a few good shooting opportunities. However, with the outstanding performance of goalkeeper Michael, who was named by Wang Shuai just now, Lukes only had one shot on goal and converted it into a score.
Aston Villa, on the other hand, continued to seek stability, and the promotion efficiency was not high, and only six shots were completed in the first half. But all six of those shots were in the woodwork, and the goal rate was as high as two-thirds, which allowed Villa to maintain their lead in the first half and extend their advantage to two goals.
Although a two-goal lead in the first half was nothing for Aston Villa compared to some of the previous games, Barnsley's striker was a senior professional after all, which is also a regular in a Premier League team, so the score is reasonable.
It's just that Lukes is only a player after all, and football is a game of eleven, and one god with ten scum obviously can't help Barnsley complete the comeback. What's more, Wang Shuai has been doing targeted defense against Lux, coupled with Lukes's overseeing all the team's offensive tasks in the first half, the physical consumption is too great, which makes the score gap in the second half wider, and the final score is also fixed at 7:3.
With 90 minutes and 10 goals, the match between the two top two teams in the scoring charts was unsurprisingly the most goals scored in the league so far. Barnsley, on the other hand, are proud of their defeat because they have breached Villa more times than any other team combined, including the two Carabao Cup games, which speaks volumes about Barnsley's attacking quality.
It's just that Wang Shuai and other Aston Villa players don't have time to care about this, because the start of this game also announced that they have ushered in a new round of intensive devil schedule.
