White Hart Lane is Totenham Hotspur's home stadium, founded in 1899 and has accompanied Tottenham for more than 120 years. Three years ago, after 20 years, the White Hart Lane Stadium was renovated again, expanding the capacity of the stadium to 43,000 people.www.biquge.info Although the capacity of White Hart Lane is not as high as any stadium in the Premier League, Tottenham's attacking football is loved by fans, and the average attendance per game is repeatedly among the best in the Premier League. Even in the 70s, after Tottenham were relegated to the second division, the stadium was still packed every weekend.

On the second Tuesday morning of 2021, Wang Shuai led the team to the home stadium of Tottenham Hotspur in north London.

Ibrahimovic's arrival has provided a strong addition to Aston Villa's forward line. But Wang Shuai knows that such a lineup is still at an absolute disadvantage when facing Tottenham. Therefore, in the third round of the FA Cup, Wang Shuai intends to once again sacrifice defensive counter-attacking tactics like he did against Liverpool.

It's just that after Ibrahimovic, Villa's defensive counter-attacking tactics have also made some adjustments. The previous 4-5-1 formation was just a simple defense, and then looking for holes in the opponent's defense to counterattack. And now Wang Shuai plans to replace Greenhouse with Ibrahimovic as the starter, and the defensive counterattack under the 4-4-2 formation is to let Wu Shi and Ibrahimovic stay in the front, and Wang Shuai and Zhou Aniu in the midfield, including David, who is also involved in defense on the side, have quite good long-pass ability. In this case, once Villa has the ball, they can move the ball directly to the two strikers and take advantage of the opponent's defensive gaps to pose a threat to the opponent.

This kind of defensive counter-attacking tactics is more aggressive than before. And Wang Shuai also knows that attack is the best defense, if Wu Shi and Ibrahimovic can continue to impact Tottenham's defense, then the opponent will not dare to attack with all his strength all the time, which indirectly relieves the defensive pressure of Aston Villa.

It's just that even so, Wang Shuai still doesn't have much confidence in this game. Although the arrival of Ibrahimovic has slightly improved Aston Villa's winning rate, the previous base is too small, and now that the winning rate has increased, Wang Shuai estimates that it is only about 10%. What is even more unfavorable for Aston Villa is that today is an away game, it can be said that Tottenham has the advantage of the location, and if Villa wants to win, they can only pray that the goddess of luck is on their side, otherwise it is really difficult.

The fact is that the goddess of luck didn't go to work at all today, and the performance of both teams was decent, and there was no explosion. And such a situation is obviously more beneficial to Tottenham.

Tottenham Hotspur is the representative team of attacking football, and the formation is a 4-3-3 formation with two forward midfielders. Wang Shuai checked Tottenham's player information before the opening, and as expected, the opponent's 11 starters were all senior professionals, and the two forwards Farma and Epps, as well as the left winger Raconi, are infinitely close to the kind of master players. Such a frontcourt lineup is obviously a great test for Aston Villa's defensive ability.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the game, Tottenham played their attacking football style to the fullest, and the attack in the first leg caused a lot of problems for Villa's defence.

First, Laconi cut diagonally into the box and fired an out-of-the-box shot straight into the corner of the goal, and Villa's goalkeeper Kassel narrowly lifted the ball off the line. In the subsequent corner, Tottenham center Igor successfully fought for the top at the back post, but under the interference of Zhou Aniu's defense, the opponent's header was high above the goal frame, and Aston Villa escaped.

In the opening less than two minutes, Tottenham had two shots on goal, one on target, and the intensity of the attack caught the Villa defence off guard. Wang Shuai didn't expect the opponent's attack to be so fierce, so after restarting the game, Wang Shuai instructed Kassel to stabilize the situation, and the goalkeeper also took advantage of the situation to drive the ball to the central defender's partner. After passing with two feet, the football came to Wang Shuai's feet.

Although in the face of a strong Tottenham Hotspur, Wang Shuai does not have much confidence in the success rate of the attack, but if he just controls the ball, Wang Shuai can still do it. When the possession rate goes up, you don't have to worry about finding a chance.

Wang Shuai was right, three minutes later, Farma and Epps saw that Wang Shuai was still dribbling on the ball, and chose to step forward to wrap up. As a result, Tottenham did not have players on the wings and became even weaker.

So, Wang Shuai found the right time to stuff the ball to David, and then suddenly accelerated and ran forward. Defensively, Wang Shuai can barely defend against Tottenham's two forwards with the addition of skills. But on the offensive side, even if Wang Shuai's attributes are one level lower than the opponent's, his offensive skills are too many, which makes Wang Shuai easy to break through the bag of Farma and Epps without the ball.

Wang Shuai, who threw the opponent away, received David's diagonal pass at the front of the penalty area, and after deducting the ball, he changed the football to his own advantageous side. It's just that after this smash, Tottenham's defender Grigor has been stuck in a defensive position, and Falma has also returned to defend in place, and Wang Shuai has lost the opportunity to continue attacking.

However, this did not bother Wang Shuai, who followed the green pass arrow and passed the ball between the two defenders to Ibrahimovic on the line of the penalty area. Although the defenders behind Ibrahimovic also blocked his offensive line, Wang Shuai knew that Ibrahimovic was the kind of player who scored acrobatic goals under the opponent's strict defense.

It's just that the current Ibrahimovic is only 18 years old, and even Ibrahimovic in his peak cannot maintain a super high goal rate under the defense of a top team like Tottenham. So Ibrahimovic didn't convert his shot into a score after two feints, and the ball was back at Tottenham's feet.

At this point, Tottenham and Aston Villa's first meeting at both ends of the pitch came to an end, and although Villa's attack was not as fluid as Tottenham's, the two teams were also considered to be a draw. And such a result undoubtedly brings great confidence to the whole team of Villa. Look, even if the opponent is Tottenham, we are not completely suppressed by the opponent, as long as this situation is stalemate, it is inevitable to draw with Tottenham, and if you are a little luckier, it is not impossible to win away from home.

In the next 20 minutes of the game, Tottenham also expected as Wang Shuai, after seeing Villa's offensive ability, they chose to shrink the formation, and the offensive was no longer as fierce as in the first leg, which made Villa's defensive pressure a lot easier. In the face of Tottenham, which has strengthened their defense, Villa's attacking side has not found many more opportunities.

As a result, the game between the two teams was a stalemate, and this situation lasted until the 28th minute of the game.
