Chapter 398 The person who is favored by the goddess of luck
At the end of the first half, Aston Villa fell behind Ibiza at home by zero to two.
When the referee's whistle sounded, Aston Villa head coach Martin O'Neal frowned and went straight back to the locker room.
For the first half, he just wanted to say one thing, Ibiza's luck was so good.
After halftime break, before the start of the second half, Martin O'Neal adjusted the team and let Bermuda forward Malone Halewood appear and replace midfielder Gardner.
This is a very courageous substitution, replace the next midfielder and replace the center. Now Aston Villa is using the three forward tactics.
"It's actually the tactic of the double center." Fang Jue said to Sebalus. "Herwood and Karu are two high points, Abonlaho's position is slightly retreating, and he and Ashley Young form a double winger to deliver shells to these two men."
This substitution was effective at the beginning, especially when Ashley Young suddenly showed his power and made a cross from the wing. Obviously, this was Martin O'Neal's deployment during the halftime break, which inspired Ashley Young's assist ability to find two points: Carru and Hailewood. You should know that Ashley Young is one of the biggest players in Aston Villa now, and it is said that it has attracted the attention of Manchester United and other giants.
Fang Jue was shocked, and then he saw Ashley Young repeatedly rushing into Bolaruze's defense zone with his speed. The football was hustled into the penalty area by him - flying from the left to the unmanned zone on the right, or flying directly out of the bottom line and out of the sideline.
Anyway, there are no Aston Villa players, wherever the football flies.
Fang Jue was shocked. In just ten minutes, Ashley Young sent four crosses, all of which were perfectly avoiding his teammates.
...
"What is Ashley Young doing? Is he practicing the **ball game?" the commentator couldn't help asking.
"My grandma passes the ball more reliable than Ashley Young." Motson, the gold medal commentator of Sky TV, who commented on the game, said sarcastically without hesitation.
Fang Jue immediately made a substitution, Clement came on as a substitute, and he replaced Modric.
Then, this substitution immediately received a miracle effect. Ashley Young tried to break through Bolaruz again. Clement had a clever double-team and intercepted the ball from the English international. Ibiza made a quick counterattack.
Korosas made a long pass, Lewandowski headed the ball in front and then rubbed it. Sartnett tackled the ball, but accidentally knocked the attacking goalkeeper Guzan to the ground. Then, everyone saw Mata of Ibiza and was stunned for a second, and then happily dribbled the ball to the front of the goal and scored the ball into the empty goal.
Ibiza took a three-goal lead.
...
Martin O'Neal felt like he was going crazy.
The players made constant mistakes and unexpected surprises on the court, and he doubted whether Aston Villa was cursed.
The camera captured that when Mata scored this lucky gift pack goal, Ibiza's head coach Fang Jue did not celebrate immediately on the sidelines, but spread his hands and showed an extremely surprised expression.
"Obviously, Fang Jue was also shocked. He didn't expect Aston Villa to give gifts frequently."
In the box of the chairman of Villa Park team, Aston Villa's American boss looked not very good. Aston Villa's performance has been very good recently and his financial pressure has also eased. Mr. Lerner was in a good mood and invited some friends to watch the game on site. The high-emotional Chairman boasted to his friends, please see the third place in the Premier League to hit the first place in La Liga, and then...
A friend was comforting Randylna, saying that Zero vs. Three was not Aston Villa's poor strength, but his luck was too bad.
Randylna nodded and reluctantly accepted the statement (fig leaf).
Aston Villa, who was three goals behind, launched a fierce attack like crazy.
Although the team boss did not force the game to win, he would definitely be very unhappy with a crushing defeat at home. Martin O'Neal is thinking about scoring the goal now, narrowing the gap as much as possible, and not seeking a win-win reversal. If he can tie the score, he would thank God.
Seeing Aston Villa pushing heavily, Fang Jue stared at Aston Villa's empty defense line and thought.
Then, he asked Aubameyang, who had been warming up on the sidelines for more than ten minutes, to come over and give him a face-to-face opportunity.
"After you come on the court, replace Desler."
"Let Robert (Lewandowski) make the ball for you."
"We play a defensive counterattack."
"Use your speed to hit their defense!"
When Aston Villa pressed up desperately, the most suitable person to play defensive counterattack was the extremely fast Aubameyang.
Then, Ibiza made a substitution, the team captain Desler was replaced, and Aubameyang came on the bench.
...
"This substitution is very timely. When Aston Villa launched a large-scale attack, their defense line was empty. For Aubameyang, this was really suitable." Dolores said.
Martin O'Neal also noticed this substitution, and he could also guess Fang Jue's thoughts.
However, despite guessing what Ibiza is going to do, O'Neal can do nothing unless Aston Villa can accept a zero-to-three loss and defend honestly, otherwise, as long as they press it out, they will risk the potential for the defense line to expose the space to be caught by the opponent.
This is a gambling attack.
Martin O'Neal now hopes that the goddess of luck can take care of Aston Villa and not give Ibiza a chance.
However, O'Neal's heart skipped a beat. Speaking of luck, Aston Villa's luck today was really a bit bad.
...
In the 76th minute of the game, Aston Villa was intercepted in the frontcourt offense, and Ibiza quickly fought a defensive counterattack.
Corosas, who received the pass from Koscheerny, did not choose to drive the ball forward, but looked ahead and then directly took a big foot: a long pass!
The football spanned the half and flew directly to Aston Villa's backcourt.
"Empty!"
"An opportunity to fight back!"
On Aston Villa's right side, right back Lukesha had not yet returned to defend because of an assist, and there was a large open area.
Aubameyang is accelerating his sprint, with Mata on the left behind and Reus in the middle.
In Aston Villa's penalty area, only central defender Davis was the only central defender, and another central defender Knight was desperately chasing back.
"Three to one! Ibiza formed three to one in some areas!"
Aubameyang caught up with the football first, and then he dribbled the ball and sprinted directly.
Aston Villa defender Davis rushed up with a tough bullet. He was now panicked. He not only had to defend Aubameyang's breakthrough, but also defended him from passing the ball, and guarded him from shooting from a long distance... He felt that it was too difficult for him.
At this time, for Aubameyang, the smartest choice is to pass it to Mata, who is on the left, and Davis is also mainly defending this.
Then, he saw Aubameyang rushing towards him.
Good come!
Davis welcomed this. He had heard that this Gabonese kid was rough and would not outdated: this time, he would capture this kid alive.
Then Davis lost Aubameyang in front of him.
...
"pretty!"
Before the two were about to get in contact, the opponent drove the football forward and started again, rushing past Davis like a gust of wind.
"Oh my God! Aubameyang! He was like riding a motorcycle! And he suddenly stepped on the accelerator when he met Davis!" Leinker exclaimed.
Then, everyone saw that Aubameyang, who had completed a beautiful breakthrough, broke into the penalty area, faced goalkeeper Gu Zan and shot with a volley!
Gu Zan hit the football out in a flash, and Mata, who followed up, easily scored a shot from the empty goal again.
Four to zero!
Mata was very happy to score the goal. He hugged Aubameyang, who shouted to him, "I've actually done it long ago. The goalkeeper can just save the football to you."
"I know, I know, I know." Mata said, laughing.
Aubameyang flattened his mouth and intuition told him that Mata didn't believe him...
"God, Juan Mata, I've been easily hitting the empty door twice in a row. Today he was favored by the goddess of luck." The commentator shouted loudly.
Chapter completed!
