Aston Villa's goal was like a switch, and the cheers of the fans instantly decreased a lot. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 But not all the fans were quiet, and in the away stands, the Villa fans were celebrating wildly. Although Villa have scored more than 40 spectacular goals for them this season, fans will not get tired of seeing the goals, not to mention that this game is a local derby, and what could be more exciting than seeing Birmingham City concede.

In fact, after that first goal, Aston Villa fans, including those of city rivals Birmingham City, knew that the game was decided.

Aston Villa have conceded just five goals in 17 games so far this season in 14 league games and three League Cup games. One was against Sheffield Wednesday, where Wang Shuai did not play. One was against Huddersfield, who scored a goal from the penalty spot. The other three came against Barnsley, the third-placed team scored three goals in the game but lost 7-3.

In other words, in the game where Wang Shuai played, Aston Villa not only won all, but also conceded only on Barnsley in the mobile battle. Birmingham City fans are asking themselves if their team's attacking ability is naturally not as good as Barnsley's, who has a high-level professional striker.

Until Aston Villa score, these Birmingham City fans can still fantasize about holding on until the end of the game and taking a point from Villa. But after the first goal, those fans knew that there was no hope for Birmingham City. Against Villa, it will be difficult for Birmingham City to score, let alone equalize, and even more so to overtake the score. What they want now is to lose a few goals and save a little face.

It's just that this wish of theirs is also doomed to be shattered.

In the 13th minute, Wang Shuai Rainbow passed the ball and picked the ball back, and then followed by a volley, 2:0.

In the 25th minute, David took a free kick in the front, which was still the iconic "Silver Moon Scimitar", 3:0.

In the 36th minute, it was a free kick in the front, this time it was Wang Shuai who was in charge, and after a falling leaf shot, it was 4:0.

Aston Villa ended the first half with a four-goal lead. By this time the game had gone on, there was no suspense at all, and many Birmingham City fans began to leave the stadium early, and they couldn't bear to see the game end.

However, although Villa had already sealed the victory in advance, Wang Shuai had no intention of letting go of his opponent, after all, he wanted a hearty victory, so after the start of the second half, Villa continued to launch an onslaught. It wasn't until the 60th minute, after Wang Shuai and Wu Shi scored another goal, that Wang Shuai replaced the three core main players, including himself, to retain his physical strength for the rest of the game.

Aston Villa, who were substituted on the bench, finally returned to their 'normal' performances, and the beaten Birmingham City gradually regained their form in the final 30 minutes, scoring a face-saving goal in the 84th minute, the final goal of the game. It's just that this goal did not usher in the celebration of the home fans, because when Villa led 6:0, the Birmingham City fans were basically gone, and now there are more Villa fans in the audience than the home fans, and the Birmingham City players heard only the boos of the Villa fans after the goal, which made them because of the excitement brought by the goal of Villa, instantly vanished.

……

After the 6-1 game, the Aston Villa players got on the bus with a big laugh and a big win over their local derby opponents, and they felt that nothing could stop them from rejoicing, but soon their manager gave them a slap in the face.

"It's fun to win, right? But did you know that we can sweep the opponent in this game? Wang Shuai stood in front of the bus and said coldly to a group of players who were still excited, "The last ball, Colin, you missed the defense, right, why?" Do you think a six-goal lead is foolproof? Come on, tell me, you think a few goals ahead is foolproof. ”

"Coach, I ......" Colin was staggered, Birmingham City's goal was indeed his responsibility, and in the last ten minutes of the game, the team led by six goals, he naturally relaxed his mentality, and as a result, he missed the opponent's striker.

"Can't answer? It's okay, I'll ask someone else. Connor, you didn't have the ball in place at the end, do you think a few goals ahead can be foolproof? ”

"Coach ......"

"Lowry, Brandt," Wang Shuai didn't wait for Connor to finish speaking, and continued to start the roll call, "In the last thirty minutes, the two of you didn't organize an effective attack, do you also think that the team will definitely not lose?" ”

"......" The two people named lowered their heads and didn't say a word.

"Football is a 90-minute game, not 60 minutes, not 45 minutes, and anything can happen until the game is over. Today we meet Birmingham City, who don't have the power to change the outcome of the game, but what about a different team? Like Newcastle, or Barnsley? Like our next Carabao Cup opponents, Norwich? If you still have this mentality, think for yourself.

By the way, if we lose in the league, we still have a chance to win back, and if we lose in the cup, then we can just say goodbye.

In view of your performance in the last 30 minutes, tomorrow the holiday will be cancelled for tactical training.

The driver drives. ”

……

From a practical point of view, Wang Shuai's words are very reasonable. Not only in football, but also in other sports, there are countless examples of a big lead followed by a tragic reversal. Although Villa's strength can prevent this from happening to the greatest extent, Wang Shuai still feels the need to say it when he thinks of playing the League Cup against fourth-placed Norwich City in a week's time. It's just that it turns out that Wang Shuai is too worried.

In the 15th round of the Championship, in addition to the Birmingham derby, there is another interesting game, that is, the battle between Brighton and Norwich City for the third and fourth places in the table, and the final result is that Brighton won 5-0.

In the Championship, Norwich can only be regarded as a mid-table team, and they have not made any changes to their squad this season. So in the first few rounds of the league this season, they relied on the advantage of the team's run-in, coupled with their opponents who happened to be some weak teams, so that Norwich once climbed to the second place in the standings, and it can also be regarded as a small dark horse. As a result, when the league continued, the lineups of other teams had basically been run-in, and Norwich's schedule began to encounter strong teams, and they were directly beaten back to the prototype.

Norwich's morale dropped to freezing point after the bloodbath, and they did not adjust until the Carabao Cup kick-off a week later, and as a result, Norwich were ravaged by Aston Villa in the cup after the league.

At 5-0, Villa stepped on a painful Norwich City to advance to the fifth round of the League Cup.

……

On November 26, in the 16th round of the Championship, Aston Villa played at home, and after scoring one goal in each half, they beat the attacking Blackburn Rovers 2:0.

Facing the second-to-last opponent in the standings, Wang Shuai once again turned the game into tactical training, and at the same time put Greenhouse, who had returned from injury, into the starting line-up to let him find the feeling of the game.

Unlike in the past, when Villa's players were ready to start the "game" in the second half, Wang Shuai still gave tactical training arrangements and did not let them go to attack. As for the doubts of the players, Wang Shuai's explanation is very simple:

'The opponent for the next Carabao Cup game has been decided, it's Liverpool, seize the last time to train.'
