Chapter 37 A good start

Brian was not far from Wang Xuan, and he asked strangely, "What started?" ”

Wang Xuan patted Brian on the shoulder and said, "We're going to score." ”

Brian has also been keeping an eye on the changes on the field, but he doesn't see any signs of the team scoring at all. In the past few moments, Aston Villa played fiercely, and there were a few dangerous situations in front of Manchester City's goal.

Now the situation seems to be even more dangerous, as Kompany has just broken the ball, but instead of clearing it, it has been passed to Mendieta. Mendieta's current position, just in front of the penalty area, would allow Aston Villa to hit the goal immediately with little need to pass if he was cut off at this point.

Barry had already pounced on Mendieta after being dispossessed, and Milner, who was also not far from Mendieta, also made a save on Mendieta.

"Oops! It's dangerous! Brian cried out through gritted teeth.

Compared with the smile on Wang Xuan's face, it was really a stark contrast.

Andy Gray also exclaimed in surprise: "Is it a death sentence for Kompany to break the ball and not clear it out, but pass it to Mendieta, who is not far away?" ”

At this moment, even Manchester City fans gasped. The Manchester City fans, who were already drunk in the bar, yelled with excitement.

But Mendieta, facing Barry and Milner, who were ferocious and pressing, stepped on the ball with ease and then heeled a ball on his heel. Everything was as simple and easy as it was at his peak.

If it weren't for Barry and Milner underestimating the old guy's abilities, they obviously wouldn't have been passed so easily. But all was wrong, Mendieta dodged their pressure and kicked the ball straight away, and then he accelerated with all his might to chase after it.

Andy Gray was about to say that Mendieta had been cut off, but what was happening on the pitch clearly didn't match what he was going to say. He choked on his own saliva and couldn't speak, Martin Taylor immediately said, "Mendieta passed two people, he ran, so fast...... After all these years, Mendieta is running again. We saw the Basques running wild on the pitch again......"

Mendieta is clean and clean, and the current run feels strange and familiar, and there are not many Mendieta fans here, and if those Mendieta fans see such a scene, they may burst into tears.

Brian was speechless in shock, the smile on Wang Xuan's face became thicker and thicker, and the sound of the fans at the scene gasping immediately turned into cheers, and the scolding fans in the bar stopped scolding and turned to shout Mendieta's name.

At this moment, Mendieta felt that his legs were so powerful with each kick on the ground, the whirring wind blew past his ears, and the air seemed to be unable to restrain his steps any longer, and he began to run......

Mendieta didn't know why he had recovered so quickly, and his current situation could hardly be explained by his good form, and his body seemed to have become younger. The only explanation he could think of was that after he came to Manchester yesterday, Wang Xuan arranged for him to be massaged by a Chinese doctor.

"Is it the effect of the massage?" Mendieta didn't believe it, but reality made it impossible for him not to believe it. But now he obviously doesn't have time to care about so many things, and now he has to handle this attack perfectly.

With the ball at his feet, Mendieta sprinted all the way to midfield, and at this point the Aston Villa players were all drawn to the veteran and wanted to come up and cut off his ball.

But now Mendieta is no longer impressed, he has already imprinted the position of his team-mate in his head, and he has several passing routes in his head.

He flickered and then passed the ball to Robinho, after which he immediately switched directions and started running.

Robinho faced the defense and stepped on a bike, and when everyone thought he was going to pass, he slammed the ball hard and the ball was kicked out by him. And the end of the ball's flight is Mendieta.

The ball is here, the people are here! Mendieta didn't stop the ball again, he rubbed it up and flew towards the goal.

Aston Villa have only three defenders left at the back, along with two Manchester City players – Benjani and Wright.

The defensive range of the back three simply did not cover the whole pitch, and Mendieta's pass flew over the heads of the two centre-backs and landed between the goalkeeper and the centre-back. In this position, the goalkeeper is not good at attacking, and it is not convenient for the central defender to chase back. But for Benjani, the location was simply perfect.

The ball landed in a straight line between Benjani and the goal, and he just had to run at full speed and then adjust his position to shoot.

A lot of things have been said, but in fact, all this is between lightning and fire on the field.

Benjani got on the ball before the two centre-backs and barely slowed down before heading straight to the back of the net. The goalkeeper only chose to attack at this point, but it was too late.

Benjani fired a tricky shot and then his unique salute was upon him.

The crowd's explosive cheers sent Martin O'Neal's heart to the bottom.

Wang Xuan ran wildly to the corner flag area again, frantically celebrating Benjani's goal. And Mendieta, who wanted to find Wang Xuan to celebrate together, was pressed down by his excited teammates before he could run next to Wang Xuan because the distance was too far.

The Etihad Stadium was filled with jubilation, except for the guests who had come from afar......

2 to 0! Manchester City took a 2-0 lead at home.

Martin O'Neal's gambling style of play has been a complete failure. He had vowed to win the bet, but now he was like a gambler who had lost and lost a lot.

Just before half-time, Robinho's shot hit the woodwork and almost made it 3-0.

Manchester City played with momentum, while Aston Villa had a feeling of defeat.

After returning to the locker room, Wang Xuan did not hesitate to praise himself, he attributed it all to the players, and the atmosphere in the locker room was very joyful.

Mendieta sat on the sidelines, he wanted to be alone to enjoy and experience this long-lost feeling. But the eyes cast around him forced Mendieta to leave his world and share the joy with his teammates.

In the second half, Manchester City did not give Aston Villa any chances. Mendieta's free-kick was blocked by the goalkeeper and Robinho followed up with a follow-up effort to seal a 3-0 win for City.

The Blues ended their opening league game of the new season with a big win at home.

Returning to the locker room with the players, Wang Xuan's two yellow jokes that popped out of his mouth caused everyone to laugh, and the distance between him and the players was gradually narrowing.

The atmosphere in the locker room was so harmonious, and the two games since Wang Xuan led the team ended in big wins, and those who ridiculed and questioned him were slapped in the face. As an eyewitness to all this, Brian's opinion of Wang Xuan has also changed......
