Chapter 100: UEFA Super Cup (Part II)

"Wang Shuai~!"

"Wang Shuai~!"

"Wang Shuai~~~!!"

In the National Stadium, although it was halftime, the shouts of the spectators were deafening. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Barcelona was right, and today's game did turn out to be Villa's home stadium. Although there were also many Barcelona fans at the scene, when Villa was already leading 2:0, these fans also "defected", who made Wang Shuai "his own person".

It's not just the excitement in the audience, it's also in the dressing room, and in this case, of course, the dressing room at Aston Villa.

"Zhou, yes, if you don't make a sound, it's already a blockbuster!" David sat on the stool and rested while joking to Zhou Aniu next to him. After coming to China to play a round, these players of Villa also made up for the Chinese culture, and David learned a few idioms, and he really used them correctly for the first time. Zhou Aniu has been dormant in the backfield, and scored in the front door for the first time, not a blockbuster.

"Hehe......" Zhou Aniu's personality still hasn't changed, and he didn't answer David's words after laughing twice.

Wang Shuai looked at this scene, pointed at Zhou Aniu twice, and said with a smile: "You really haven't changed at all, you know how to smirk...... The second half continues! ”

Wang Shuai is really in a good mood. According to his original estimates, it would have been nice to draw with Barcelona in the first half, and now with a two-goal lead, it was a surprising result.

It's just that Wang Shuai's mood is certainly very good, but this also makes him ignore some problems that he should have noticed.

For example, his own physical strength.

……

Throughout the game, Wang Shuai is definitely the player with the greatest physical consumption. He traveled almost twice as far as any other player in the first half. Of course, the other players here do not include Barcelona's two midfielders, who have been carried by Wang Shuai and have traveled a lot of distance. It's just that they are two people after all, and they don't follow Wang Shuai all the time, so when it comes to physical consumption, they are much smaller than Wang Shuai.

So ten minutes into the second half, Wang Shuai did not shake Bristol for the first time in this game. After a series of changes of direction, Bristol is still close to Wang Shuai.

Of course, this did not cause much thought. Including Wang Shuai, they all thought it was just a coincidence.

But just four minutes later, Wang Shuai failed to break through again, and this time he was cut off by Bristol.

Breaking the ball, this is a scene that often occurs in a game, so for the audience outside the field and the players on and off the field, Wang Shuai's mistake is not unusual.

But there are two people who are nervous, the first is Barcelona coach Ochilles. From the moment Aston Villa scored the first goal, O'Chilles has been pondering ways to defend against others without delaying the defense. From the double back of the bag, to Bristol's single defense, to Imari's help defense, the effect has not been good. But now after seeing Wang Shuai concede the goal, Ochilles's eyes lit up, although he has not yet found out why Wang Shuai made a mistake, but he knows that at least the current defensive strategy is starting to work.

Ochileus didn't know why, but Wang Shuai clearly felt his physical state. At halftime, Wang Shuai ignored his physical exertion due to being too excited, but when he got on the field and ran, Wang Shuai immediately noticed something was wrong.

At the beginning, Wang Shuai was still thinking about whether the other party's physical consumption would be similar to his own. However, after this mistake, Wang Shuai knew that he couldn't go on like this.

……

"Pick up the pace~!"

"Shrink the defense~!"

The two head coaches, Ochilles and Wang Shuai, both changed the team's strategy at the first time.

O'Chilles thought that since the current defensive strategy was effective, he would simply speed up the tempo of the team and maximize the tactical advantage as quickly as possible.

Wang Shuai feels that as the offensive core of Villa, the team's offensive efficiency will be reduced to freezing point when his physical consumption is too large. Insisting on attacking at such a time is undoubtedly the most unwise move. So, just let the team defend with all their might, and even if Barcelona played well in the second half, it will not be difficult for Villa to hold on to the two-goal advantage.

It's just that Wang Shuai still underestimated Barcelona's offensive ability.

After Villa stopped attacking, Barcelona no longer had to worry about their own defense, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they have reached the level of full firepower.

Even Wang Shuai felt that even if he hadn't given tactical instructions before, in the face of Barcelona's strong attack, Villa's formation would automatically be forced to the back.

Under Barcelona's wave after wave of attacks, Villa's defense was finally lost.

Twice.

……

83rd minute.

The score was 2:2.

Seeing that the score was equalized, Wang Shuai was helpless for a while.

The tactics have long been changed to shrink the defense, and the physically exhausted Ribery and Wu Shi have also been replaced one after another, and the formation has also been changed to a more defensive 4-5-1, but this still does not change the fact that the score was equalized.

The current Wang Shuai has finally experienced the feeling of Ochilles in the first half, that is, he is powerless.

Wang Shuai still has a substitution in his hand, but this is to prepare for the penalty shootout, Wang Shuai intends to replace a defender with a striker in stoppage time, and now that Wu Shi has been off the field, if the game really wants to go to a penalty shootout, Villa's current lineup is obviously not enough.

Of course, Wang Shuai knew that the penalty shootout was very bad for Villa, but he had no other choice, and now that Barcelona's attack is still high, he can keep the score 2:2 until the end, which is already a pretty good result for Villa.

Unless, they can figure out how to score another goal.

……

Physical.

Wang Shuai soon saw the opportunity.

At the beginning of the second half, Wang Shuai had to stop the team from attacking due to excessive physical exertion and put the initiative in the hands of the opponent. It was precisely because of this that Barcelona scored two goals in quick succession to equalize the score.

But in the final moments of the game, it was Aston Villa who had been on the defensive with the physical advantage.

It's also Villa's last chance.

Despite this, Wang Shuai was a little hesitant because he was not sure if Villa's attack would work. And if the team starts attacking, the defense will inevitably leave Barcelona with chances.

Fight?

Or sit back and wait for the penalty shootout?

Just when Wang Shuai hesitated, the game had already entered stoppage time.

It was also at this time that Wang Shuai finally made a choice.

Put together!

……

In the 92nd minute, Villa's free kick at the back, and Wang Shuai also took advantage of this dead ball opportunity to make a third substitution adjustment.

The 34-year-old veteran, striker Herman, came on and Villa's formation changed to a 3-5-2 that had never been used.

But it doesn't matter anymore, three minutes of stoppage time, coupled with Villa's substitutions delaying time, Villa's attack is destined to be the last attack of the game.

Long pass!

Zhou Aniu's free kick found David on the right with precision.

Inner instep transition!

David didn't stop the ball and passed directly to Wang Shuai, who was running fast.

Marseille maneuver!

Wang Shuai's superb foot skills allowed him to shake off Bristol cleanly.

Hasten!

Wang Shuai's physical advantage was also on display, and another Barcelona midfielder was also left behind by him.

Straight stopper!

Wang Shuai stuffed the ball into the penalty area at the top of the arc of the penalty area, and Ibrahimovic successfully countered offside.

Sideways!

In the right corner of the small penalty area, facing the Barcelona defender who was in place, Ibrahimovic passed the ball to Herman on the other side.

Heel knock ball!

In front of Herman, Barcelona's defenders also blocked the shooting path, but behind him, Wang Shuai had already plugged in again.

Shot!

Deciduous balls!

Brush!

Ball in!

3:2!

Lore!
