The ball was blocked, but the ball was blocked.

Under the double interference of Otamendi and Laporte, Abraham couldn't control the ball at all.

No surprise.

The ball was easily destroyed by Manchester City's defenders.

Five minutes later, Manchester City, playing away, launched an attack on the opponent's goal again.

In order to score as soon as possible and establish a leading advantage, Guardiola directly ordered Manchester City's two full-backs Danilo and Benjamin Mendy to press to the front court and participate in the attack!

When the two full-backs appeared in the front court, it also meant that the original two wingers Mahrez and Sterling appeared in the position of the inside forward!

The 55th minute of the game.

After receiving the pass from Gundogan, Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva was not nervous at all when facing the double-teaming interference from Jedinak and McGinn.

When the two players rushed to Bernardo Silva to interfere, he suddenly chose to flick the ball with his right foot, and then touched the ball with his left foot!

In a very short time, he touched the ball with both feet!

It was this action that allowed Bernardo Silva to instantly get rid of the interference of Aston Villa players!

This way of getting rid of is called fried meatballs!

In the stands of Villa Park, the home team fans witnessed Bernardo Silva passing McGinn and Jedinak with fried meatballs, and their faces were quite disappointed, but also a little shocked and admired.

In the live broadcast room of Douyin and Dongqiu.com, the fans of Xiaguo were also praised by Bernardo Silva for getting rid of this time.

"Wow! Bernardo Silva's playing style is very similar to Iniesta! His passing style is so elegant!"

"It can be called a dimensionality reduction strike! Aston Villa's players are like wood on the court!"

"To be honest, both McGinn and Jedinak performed very well in the Championship League, especially McGinn! Both offense and defense are perfect! I didn't expect that they played so badly against Manchester City!"

"Bernardo Silva plays like a little rabbit!"

"It's over! Aston Villa's first line of defense has been broken! Please! Manchester City don't score!"

At this moment.

Whether it is the fans at the scene or the fans watching the live broadcast, they all became nervous!

After Bernardo Silva got rid of it, he continued to dribble forward!

He dribbled the ball very quickly, and it didn't take long for him to successfully break into Aston Villa's penalty area!

Of course, Villa's central defenders also attacked very quickly.

After seeing that something was wrong, Mings immediately rushed to the penalty area line and used his strong body to get close to Bernardo Silva first!

In addition, another midfielder of Aston Villa, Hourihane, also actively assisted in defense and interfered in front of Bernardo Silva at the first time!

Although Bernardo Silva's footwork is excellent, it is not easy to get rid of the double-teaming of Villa players continuously.

Bang!

Bernardo Silva finally chose to pass the ball.

He cleverly passed the ball to Mahrez on the right side of the penalty area!

At this moment, there was only one Villa player in front of the polo king.

Faced with this great opportunity, Mahrez naturally did not hesitate at all. His left foot quickly cut inside and suddenly accelerated!

After easily passing the Aston Villa defender, he shot decisively!

The football rubbed the post and flew out of the bottom line!

A shot that was just a hair's breadth away!

It can be said that since the start of the second half, Manchester City players have obviously been serious!

Every player has played the game with his best skills.

Frequently threatening Aston Villa's goal!

In the coaching area.

Dean Smith, the head coach of Aston Villa, was extremely nervous.

"Hold on!!"

"Don't let the opponent get a chance to shoot!"

"Tackle! Tackle hard!"

"Make bigger defensive moves!"

In order to stop Manchester City's passing and attack, Dean Smith issued new tactical instructions to his disciples.

60th minute.

Bernardo Silva received a pass from his Manchester City teammate in the midfield again, but this time, Bernardo Silva did not pass the ball out.

Aston Villa's midfield defensive general, Jedinak directly knocked Bernardo Silva over from the side!

Aston Villa's players began to implement the foul tactics of head coach Dean Smith! !

After seeing this, referee Anthony Taylor blew the whistle decisively.

The whistle sounded!

"Beep!!"

However, this time Anthony Taylor showed mercy and did not show a yellow card to Jedinak.

Manchester City's free kick opportunity.

Since Jedinak's foul was far from Aston Villa's penalty area, the player who took the penalty this time was not Bernardo Silva but Gundogan.

The German international did not pass the ball into the penalty area, but chose to pass it to Sterling on the wing!

But!

This player also encountered special attention from Aston Villa when he received the ball.

Hutton directly used a sliding tackle to knock down the player and the ball together!

This time, Anthony Taylor directly showed Hutton a yellow card!

Manchester City got the opportunity for a set piece again.

In the studio of Dongqiu.com, commentator Zhang Lu commented: "Although Aston Villa committed a lot of fouls during this period, this was actually intentional by coach Dean Smith. He hopes to use fouls to interrupt Manchester City's offensive rhythm, fragment the game as much as possible, and waste time."

"This is indeed a good method for weaker teams."

Afterwards, Bernardo Silva took the free kick.

The ball was passed to the back post of the penalty area!

This time, Bernardo Silva found Otamendi!

To be honest, the stature of Manchester City's frontcourt offensive players is relatively short. If they want to use high-altitude balls to score, Manchester City's two central defenders Otamendi and Laporte must participate in the attack of set pieces and corner kicks.

But in this way, the gaps in Manchester City's back line will also be exposed!

This is the case this time.

Otamendi at the back post did not have any advantage in the confrontation with Aston Villa central defender Mings.

Instead, the ball was cleared by Mings.

In a flash.

The ball flew out of the penalty area.

Aston Villa midfielder McGinn received the ball!

Finally! Aston Villa waited for the opportunity to counterattack.

Bang!

McGinn did not advance with the ball, but quickly passed the ball to Grealish on the left!

At this moment, tens of thousands of fans in the stands of Villa Park have begun to cheer wildly! !

"Grealish!"

"Grealish received the ball on the wing! This player has scored twice tonight. Can he score the third goal of this game? Let's wait and see!"
