Fang Jue's established tactic is that Aston Villa focuses on offense in this game.

His offense does not mean weakening the defense.

Fang Jue is very clear about the importance of away goals to the away team, and he must try his best to avoid Manchester United from scoring away goals.

Aston Villa's offensive tactics are very hard and aggressive.

There is only one purpose, to use offense to suppress Manchester United and provide protection for the defense line by attacking and attacking.

Aston Villa's offense is already very threatening and sharp.

In this game, Fang Jue arranged three midfielders of Barack, Clement and Stroman in the midfield.

This ensures Aston Villa's defensive hardness in the midfield and his forward cruelty.

This gave Manchester United a headache.

Ferguson soon discovered that Manchester United's established tactic of opening attack was basically difficult to organize an effective offense in the face of Aston Villa's tough interception in the midfield.

Aston Villa's midfield interception was very fierce, and it could even be said to be very effective, so Manchester United lacked the necessary preparations for this.

For a moment, scenes of people stumble on the court frequently appeared, and Manchester United, who was unprepared, were a little busy.

Carrick, Park Ji-sung and even Manchester United midfielders such as Giggs were completely trapped in a muscle-handed battle with Aston Villa.

Aston Villa's tactics are very simple. The three midfielders tear up Manchester United's midfield and escort Deisler with all their might. Ronaldo and Gareth Bale are cruising in the frontcourt and ready to launch a critical strike at any time.

Aston Villa soon seized a mistake from Manchester United in the chaos and launched a counterattack.

This is Park Ji-sung's fight against Clement and was forced to transfer the football to Giggs.

The Welsh veteran was just about to receive the ball, but was surrounded by Stroman and Milner. He chose to pass it back to Fabio, and then the football was intercepted by Barack.

Aston Villa quickly launched a counterattack.

Barack made a straight pass to Desler, and Captain Aston Villa dribbled the ball and attracted the defense of several Manchester United players, and suddenly made a split.

After Gareth Bale took the ball, he took two steps horizontally and directly shot hard outside the penalty area.

The ball has a very powerful shooting force and is very fast. Van der Sar dared not hold the ball and chose to hit the football outward.

Ronaldo, who was ambushing in the penalty area, got the ball in front of Ferdinand. He first slap the ball to avoid Ferdinand. He then passed the ball to the right.

Aston Villa's right-back Queliar shot low with a low shot.

Football enters the Internet with a sound!

"Quillial! Quillial! Beautiful shot! Aston Villa's attack was very aggressive, and their right backs rushed into the penalty area and completed the shot before Evra!"

When Quelial kicked the football into the goal, a huge cheer burst out from Villa Park Stadium.

The cheers were shocking, and even outside the court, you could feel the huge sound, like a volcano erupting.

"One to zero! Aston Villa leads Manchester United by 1 to zero, and they win the first goal!"

Ferguson was furious on the sidelines and he was very, very dissatisfied with the team's defense this time.

Quelial was completely missing.

"We are too pressing." McFerran persuaded.

Ferguson snorted, saying nothing.

He naturally knew the reason.

Manchester United's tactic is to push out the attack, and it relies specifically on two sides, especially Evra's left side is the focus, which makes Evra frequently push out. This time, Aston Villa hit the gap behind Evra.

The subsequent game was in a state of anxiety.

Aston Villa further strengthened his fight in the midfield.

Clement even brought down Giggs and Valencia twice in five minutes.

The referee Cabarrow believed that Clement did not make a foul when he knocked down Giggs, but the second time he was considered a foul and verbally warned Clement.

Ferguson was so angry that he questioned the fourth official on the sidelines, "Did that guy show mercy because Clement is his fellow countryman?"

This is a very severe accusation. The fourth official had a stern face and asked Ferguson to calm down before speaking. Otherwise, he would record it. Such a charge would cause an uproar.

"He's confused, don't mind." McFerran dragged Ferguson back.

"Who are you talking about being confused?" Ferguson wanted to save face. He returned to his seat and squirted at Ferran.

The latter silently endured it. The old man always had to vent, and he could only vent it on him. Could it be that Ferguson really did the referee?

After the game was forty-one minutes, the referee finally took out the card. This was a tactical foul that Stroman tackled Rooney.

Seeing this on the sidelines, Fang Jue called out Clement's name and made a gesture.

Aston Villa's "violent" interception immediately disappeared and they became noticed one by one.

On the contrary, the anger aroused by Aston Villa began to explode on Manchester United.

For the remaining five or six minutes of the first half, Manchester United players fouled against Aston Villars one after another.

After the referee Cabarrow's tolerance arrived at MAX, he began a manic card game mode.

In just a few minutes, Park Ji-sung and Carrick were playing cards in a row.

...

Fang Jue smiled on the sidelines. Park Ji-sung and Carrick are Manchester United's main defensive players. Both of them have yellow cards, which will inevitably make Manchester United timid when defending.

Ferguson obviously realized this.

The old man in Scotland had never seen any world before, and immediately realized that he had been fooled.

"Is there any information about referee Cabarrow?" Ferguson asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, I'll put your room." said McFerran.

Ferguson frowned, and he remembered that he was busy at that time, and only looked at the previous lines, briefly saying that the referee's call was relatively relaxed, so he didn't care and didn't continue to watch.

Now it seems that there must be something he did not notice in that report.

In the end, at the end of the first half, Aston Villa led Manchester United by 1-0.

Fang Jue's tactical purpose has basically been achieved. The team scored goals, Manchester United's offense was curbed and he was unable to score away goals.

During the halftime break, Fang Jue first praised the players for their performance, and then he reminded the players with a serious expression to be careful of Manchester United's counterattack in the second half.

"One to zero is not safe. We will continue to strengthen our offense in the second half. We must hold at least two balls in our hand to be relatively safe."

"Be careful of Manchester United's counterattack. For Manchester United, as long as they get a away goal, we will be very passive."

After the second half of the game began, Fang Jue was surprised to find that Manchester United did not push out the attack, and was not in a hurry, but instead started an orderly fight... a defensive counterattack.

Fang Jue thought for a moment and understood what Ferguson meant.

Obviously, after the tactics of the first half were curbed by Aston Villa, Ferguson decisively changed and gave up the offensive tactics of the first half. Their current purpose is not to lose the ball again.

Even if the game ended at zero-to-one, this is acceptable for Manchester United, and they still have hope of turning the tables in the second leg.

In fact, this is exactly the case. In the first half, Ferguson hoped to attack and hoped to score away goals.

However, realizing that the tactical effect was not satisfactory, Ferguson calmed down.

One to zero, it is not a very satisfactory result for Aston Villa. He judged that Aston Villa would continue to attack, so Manchester United would simply fight Aston Villa's counterattack.

If we can succeed in a sneak attack and rewrite the score to one-to-one, Manchester United will make a profit.

Even if there is no chance to score, the zero-to-one score makes Manchester United less pressure in the second leg, and they only need to equalize the total score by 1-0.

Ferguson sighed. In Ferguson's opinion, this change was at most a timely stop loss, and it was a helpless move.

Although he was very unhappy, Ferguson had to admit that his Manchester United is not as strong as Aston Villa in terms of strength.

Mainly on the offensive end, Manchester United's attacking ability is not as good as Aston Villa. Otherwise, even if they don't defeat Aston Villa away, Manchester United will at least take the initiative to score goals instead of waiting for Aston Villa to make a mistake.

...

"Beautiful long journey!" the narrator shouted.

Ferguson also made a brief adjustment in the second half, and arranged for the team to push out and attack again to see the effect.

However, he was immediately beaten to counterattack by Aston Villa.

Sendros directly launched a long pass counterattack, and Desler still received the ball under Carrick's defense.

Aston Villa uses his skills and experience to hold the football firmly at his feet and wait for his teammates to come forward to pick up.

Carrick tried hard behind his back and wanted to intercept the ball, but his position was gone. Unless he made a foul, he would definitely not be able to intercept the ball.

However, Carrick already had a yellow card on his body, and he did not dare to foul the foul rashly. Once the referee showed him the second yellow card, he would come to bed.

Deisler passed the football out with the goal of Gareth Bale.

Bale started to speed directly. He dribbled the ball twice in a row and slowed down. Fabio was embarrassed, and then he flashed a gap and passed the football out.

Ronaldo pulled the ball with his left foot and tried to deceive Ferdinand. The Manchester United veteran was amazed and rich, with a steady and ruthless foot, and directly tackled the ball out of the sideline with a tackle.

...

In the stands at Villa Park Stadium, there was a regretful hug.

As long as Ronaldo dunked this ball, he entered the penalty area and almost faced the goalkeeper.

"Ferdinand has made meritorious!" Leinker praised, "that's why Ferguson would rather risk using Ferdinand, who had just recovered from injury, than Evans."

"The veteran has a reason to be trustworthy." Motson also agreed.

On the sidelines, Ferguson was also shocked. If Ronaldo scored a goal, Aston Villa would lead 2-0 and Manchester United would be very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Ferdinand successfully defended in time.

After this incident, Ferguson completely gave up the idea of ​​suppressing the attack and told the team to play defensively counterattack, do a good job of defense first, and never concede the ball again.
