The Glory of the Godfather

At this time, Fang Jue finally decided to substitute and adjust, and N'Golo Kanter replaced Clemente as a substitute.

The teenager Kimmich also came off the bench and staged his debut in the Champions League.

This is the situation where the overall situation is set, allowing young people to gain more experience and opportunities in the game.

In the end, Aston Villa beat the visiting Galatasaray by five to one at home and maintained a full victory in the two UEFA Champions League group matches, ranking first in the group.

For this victory, the audience was not surprised.

Aston Villa has the ability to beat Galatasaray by a big score. The Turkish giants are indeed very difficult at home, but their performance on the away game is very average.

Four days after the game against Galata Serre, Aston Villa ushered in a focus game in the seventh round of the Premier League.

Last season's Premier League runner-up Aston Villa played home against Manchester City, the defending Premier League champions.

This can be said to be a game that has attracted the attention of fans all over the world. Everyone wants to see if Manchester City, which broke Aston Villa’s monopoly in the Premier League last season, can still stop in this year’s league. Aston Villa, at least in a direct match between the two teams, what answer can Manchester City give?

...

"Audience friends, welcome to the focus of the seventh round of the English Premier League season, Aston Villa vs. Manchester City." He Wei said.

"The game is about to start, and we have already got the starting list of both sides. Manchester City's roster is not unexpected. It has continued the lineup from the previous round. Now Manchester City's lineup is complete. As the defending champion of the Premier League, Manchester City will have to be defeated by them last season. Aston Villa that overturned the throne showed their strength!"

On the TV screen, Manchester City’s starting lineup began to appear:

Goalkeeper: Joe Hart;

Defensive line: Sabaletta, Kompany, Demichelis, Clichy;

Midfielder: Yaya Toure, Fernandinho, David Silva, Navas;

Forwards: Dzeko, Aguero;

"Okay, let's take a look at Aston Villa again... the biggest injury of Aston Villa in this game is that De Bruyne's muscle soreness did not make it to the competition list." Zhang Lu raised the volume and said .

"In other positions, Fang Jue's coach can still make the strongest lineup."

At the same time, today's starting lineup of Aston Villa was shown on the screen:

Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen;

Defensive line: Kyle Walker, Thiago Silva, Senderos, Milner;

Midfielder: Clement, Modric, Sanchez, Mane;

Forwards: Vardy, Lewandowski;

"Aston Villa has a double-forward lineup of Lewandowski and Vardy today, which is really surprising. In addition, Kaka who has performed very well in the last two games is sitting on the bench. This is also beyond people's expectations." He Wei said.

...

The game has started for seven minutes.

Despite being a guest at New Villa Park, Manchester City's offensive is very fierce.

Manchester City took advantage of their first kick-off opportunity to put pressure on Aston Villa's goal from the beginning of the game.

Manchester City are now seven points behind Aston Villa in the league, which is a huge gap that is difficult to accept for the defending champions.

For Manchester City, today’s game will even be the key to determining whether they have a chance to compete for the league title this season:

If they can kill Aston Villa and get a three-pointer, Manchester City will narrow the point difference and be only four points behind Aston Villa. This is true with 31 rounds left in the league. It’s not a big difficulty.

However, once Manchester City loses this game, if they lose in a direct contest, Manchester City will be as much as ten points behind Aston Villa, which almost means that Manchester City will withdraw from the Premier League championship this season.

Therefore, in this game, the whole Manchester City team faced desperately, with the mentality of attacking and winning.

At this moment, Manchester City is in possession of the ball.

Fernandinho is holding the ball and he faces interference from Sanchez.

The Brazilian first knocked the football to the left, seemingly intending to break through from him, when Sanchez was attracted to the center of gravity, he beautifully pulled the ball with the inside of his foot, and then flicked the ball and passed Sanchez.

However, Fernandinho wanted to move on and came over with one foot and shoveled the football out of the sideline.

...

"Don't be overtaken by him easily." Clemente came up and patted Sanchez on the shoulder.

"Kaka was in excellent condition in these two games, which gave Sanchez a lot of pressure. He obviously felt less relaxed on the court today than before. This is the psychological pressure that caused the players to feel a little irritable." Er said.

Sanchez, who was told by Clemente, then used actions to tell everyone his attitude towards the game.

Fernandinho made a beautiful pull and tried to break Sanchez again, but this time, Sanchez showed a fierce side, a sliding tackle, and Fernandinho brought the ball down.

The referee verbally warned Sanchez, which caused strong dissatisfaction among the Manchester City people.

Afterwards, David Silva took a direct free kick, and the football crossed a wonderful arc, slightly higher than the crossbar, shocking the cold sweat of the Aston Villa fans.

The shot gave Fang Jue a close-up. Fang Jue was sitting on the coach's bench. It seemed that he was not too nervous about the team's passiveness on the scene, but rather meant to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.

Aston Villa quickly returned to Manchester City on the court.

In a subsequent attack by the Manchester City team, Fernandinho tried to hit the wall with Navas, but the latter's subsequent passing power was slightly weaker, and the football was intercepted by Milner.

Subsequently, Milner immediately passed the football to Modric.

When Modric received the ball, he considered his next move. He made a long pass from the backcourt.

In the frontcourt, Lewandowski stopped the ball with his chest. He controlled the ball at his feet to avoid Kompany behind him from stealing the football.

After the football was under control, Lewandowski made a move to turn, but he distributed the football to Sanchez, who came over, and then turned around and ran into the penalty area.

Sanchez took advantage of the opportunity to push the football.

"Pretty! Aston Villa's counterattack!!!"

"Bumping into the wall!"

Later, after receiving the football, Lewandowski made a low shot. After the football was blocked by Joe Hart's leg, he bounced back and hit the outside of the post to get out of the baseline.

Aston Villa fans cheered enthusiastically from the stands of the New Villa Park Stadium.

Although the goal was not scored, it was a morale boost.

...

Aston Villa’s corner kick, however, this corner kick was not a threat. Instead, Manchester City seized the opportunity and struck a counterattack after stealing the ball.

Manchester City's counterattack was very fast, but after a six-foot pass, they slammed into the Aston Villa's penalty area.

Sabaleta came up with an assist. After receiving a pass from Yaya Toure, he dropped the football into the penalty area.

Bosnia-Herzegovina striker Dzeko and Senderos compete for the top. Senderos doesn't want anyone in the high-altitude ball. He successfully topped the football.

However, after Kyle Walker's clearance ball was a slippery kick, the football did not play far.

Then Modric's sliding tackle did not completely clear the football. David Silva rescued the football before it went out of the baseline. He immediately handed the football to Yaya Toure.

Manchester City immediately launched a second attack.

Yaya Toure passed the football to Navas, who passed the ball to Clichy, who came up with an assist. After receiving the ball, the French defender made a push, and the football rolled directly into the penalty area!

Aguero shot out from behind the crowd.

Seeing that Aguero was about to receive the ball to form a single-handed shot, but let the attacker Ter Stegen take the first step to pounce the football under him.

Aguero was a little unwilling to jump from the fallen Aston Villa goalkeeper. He waved his hand with a bit of annoyance. It would be better if his speed was faster...

Fang Jue was shocked in a cold sweat on the sidelines.

This time, if it weren't for Ter Stegen's early attack, the ball would be really dangerous.

...

Ter Stegen did not take the goal immediately. He first lay on the ground for a while, and then slowly got up. He saw that the formation of his player was standing, and then Ter Stegen was a big footer. The football kicked to the front.

Yaya Toure rushed to the front of Mane to push the football back, and possession of the ball was once again at the feet of Manchester City.

Fang Jue shouted from the sidelines, he signaled goalkeeper Ter Stegen not to blindly kick the ball, such a kick-off simply gave up possession of the ball to Manchester City.

In a passive situation, you have to be more calm. It is best to take the ball on the ground and control the football under your own feet.

Manchester City had the ball and they immediately organized the attack.

Today's Manchester City is a completely desperate offensive tactic. Their two wing sides, Sabaletta on the right and Clichy on the left, are all pressed near the Aston Villa penalty area.

After Navas and Sabaletta made an interspersed running cooperation, he did not receive the ball, but leaked the football to Fernandinho, who came over.

The Brazilian knocked the football to Yaya Toure and let him organize the attack.

Yaya Toure directly sent a through ball. After Aguero caught up with the football, he faced Clemente's pressing. In desperation, the Argentine chose to take a long shot from outside the penalty area.

There was no threat to this shot, but Senderos stretched his leg in the penalty area to block it. After the football changed lanes, he hit the crossbar and bounced back in front of the goal before being hurried by Ter Stegen. Hugged.

Seeing such a balloon hitting the crossbar, Aguero jumped twice on the spot with some chagrin, which was a pity.

...

Manchester City's offensive is fierce, and it seems that Aston Villa played very hard and passive.

Some commentators were very excited. They praised Manchester City, saying that it is Manchester City. Only Manchester City can truly threaten Aston Villa and create a new Premier League order.

This is not to blame for the narrator's non-neutrality and ‘favorite’ Manchester City. It’s really that everyone was frightened by Aston Villa’s previous four consecutive Premier League titles.

Since the establishment of the Premier League, when has there been a team that has won four consecutive championships? How can this make other teams feel embarrassed, and this dominance has also affected the suspense and excitement of the Premier League championship.

Just as the commentators praised Manchester City as good, Manchester City was great, and Villa croaked by Manchester City, a counterattack by Aston Villa directly pierced the heart of Manchester City.

This was the time when Manchester City came out to attack, Clemente completed the steal in the backcourt, and then immediately hit Manchester City's counterattack.

Modric received the pass from Clemente. He had a good vision and immediately saw a ‘wide’ pass line.

Modric directly passed the ball diagonally to find Sanchez in front.

Sanchez caught up with the football and drove the ball in.

Manchester City's left-back Klichy is still in front and has no defense in place, so the ball must be filled by the central defender.

Demichelis, who was anxious and shouted his teammates to return to defense, greeted him while continuing to wave his teammates back to defense, but instead of going up to intercept them, he fought and retreated.

All he has to do is to delay the advancement of Aston Villa's counterattack!

Sanchez didn't give Demichelis such an opportunity to trade space for time. He saw Demichelis not coming to close defense and glanced at the direction of the goal from the corner of his eye.

Sanchez saw the goalkeeper Joe Hart's position a little bit forward, he didn't hesitate, and directly swiped his left foot and shot the ball.

Manchester City’s goalkeeper Joe Hart was completely unprepared for Sanchez’s sudden shot. He looked at the arc in the air and was a little hurried. He quickly backed up and tried his best to get the ball behind him. However, in the end he could not stop the football from entering the net. .

The football swept into the net from the top of his right hand, almost against the lower edge of the crossbar.

"Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool!"

"Sanchez! Sanchez! Sanchez! He scored a goal for Aston Villa. This is a goal that broke the deadlock. Aston Villa, who has been passive, scored instead!"

"A goal that made people jump and cheer, Sanchez's super long shot!"

"World wave! World wave! Sanchez opened the record for Aston Villa with a nearly perfect arc!"

"This is really interesting~www.wuxiaspot.com~ After the start of the game, an amazingly huge energy burst out, almost indiscriminately bombarding the Manchester City team. It was just a counterattack by Aston Villa. Hands up!"

Players from Fang Jue and Aston Villa cheered for the goal.

The Aston Villa fans in the main stands of the New Villa Park were also excitedly shouting to celebrate the goal. Their team has been passive, but they did not expect to score first in such a difficult situation.

Aston Villa is full of jubilation.

On the side of the visiting team coach, Manchester City coach Pellegrini jumped angrily, his face was full of depression and anger.

He really didn't expect his team to play against Aston Villa, but it has never scored. Instead, such a counterattack by the Aston Villa team actually scored a goal.
