Chapter 488: Aston Villa

In the seventeenth round of the Premier League on December 20, Manchester United will go away to Aston Villa. Before the game, the two sides were sitting on the field to warm up, this is just an ordinary Premier League, very common.
But the only difference today is the absence of coach Kim Taig on the Manchester United coach.
He was in the private room above the pitch at the moment, accompanied by two FA officials, suffering his suspension period.
Just a few days ago, Jin Taige staged a show of "ideal remote control assistant coach" in front of the two of them, making the two officials startled and staring at each other.
The two officials wondered: Is it possible that Jin Taige has made an appointment with his assistant coach and wants to tease the two of us?
But the two of them quickly denied their ideas.
To tease the two of us, just play with the assistant coach? Are they childish children?
Or is it a coincidence?
The two were fooling around. Unexpectedly, in the next period of time, Jin Taige repeatedly pointed his fingers in the void, and Ferran repeatedly waved his arms.
What is this TM? !!
Does he really have a special function? !!
The two officials in the private room were collapsing at the moment, but Jin Taige was secretly laughing: Let the two of you give me a show, I have to tease you.
At this time the players on both sides are warming up, while Scholes and Ferran are talking anxiously on the sidelines.
Scholes looked at Ferran: "Are you still uncomfortable with your arms?"
Fei Lan said with a pained expression: "I twisted on the bus, and now I have been particularly uncomfortable. I don't know where the twist is. It's okay, I will be active."
Scholes comforted him and said, "Isn't the captain telling you in the car, they have something called" plaster "in the east, just stick it, and it will be good soon. After the game, let him find it for you. A 'plaster', maybe it will be cured. "
Speaking of Jin Taige, Ferran looked back at the stands behind him. I saw a row of private rooms juxtaposed on the stands, and it was not clear where Jin Taige was sitting: "Paul, is this a problem in this game? Tiger is not on the court. Why am I so guilty ... "
Scholes comforted him and said, "Isn't the captain told us to order it, as long as he plays according to his schedule, there is absolutely no problem."
"What if something special happens?"
"What do you think will happen?"
"Such as the player is injured, the opponent is suddenly leading, the goalkeeper is sent off ..."
"Stop! Ferran, don't you crow's mouth okay! I'm nervous about you!"
The two talked more and more, until after the player's training, the two remained indifferent in the locker room.
Not to mention the two assistant coaches, even today's Manchester United players feel very different. Their head coach was suspended and they couldn't see Jin Taige on the sidelines, which made everyone feel a little bit empty, and felt like they had lost their backbone.
In the locker room, the players were confused, the two assistant coaches were busy, and the only preparation time before the game passed. If there were no reminders from the staff, Manchester United players have even delayed playing time. They hurried out of the locker room and came to the court.
Aston Villa's tactics in this game are very clear: bus tactics.
Their coach is Paul Lambert, who has coached Aston Villa for two years. In the first two seasons, he led the team to 15th in the league and successfully relegated, but that's all. In the first four rounds of this season, they achieved a good result of three wins and one draw, but since the fifth round's 0-3 loss to Arsenal, they have suffered six straight losses in the league, and in the last ten leagues, they Three draws, seven losses and one win are hard to find, and the club also failed to score in 659 minutes in the league, breaking the club's historical record.
Despite the poor league results, they did well in the League Cup. They even defeated their opponents and successfully advanced to the League Cup semi-finals to meet Chelsea.
It seems that Lambert is ready to fight for the next League Cup title this season.
However, they are still hovering near the relegation zone, so the relegation task is also very difficult.
Therefore, this game against the defending champions of the Premier League, Lambert has already calculated the abacus, as long as he can get a point.
So after the opening, Aston Villa completely hoarded heavy soldiers in his own backcourt, trying to keep a point advantage. They only put center Bentec on the front to fight back, and then all the other players retreated.
Speaking of Aston Villa this season, in fact, there are still bright spots, such as their two striker combination: Benteke and Abanglaho.
As of now, Benteke has scored 10 goals. If it is not his excellent performance, it is estimated that Aston Villa must now announce the relegation in advance; and the Villa youth training camp player Abang Laho, He has been playing in the team's first team for more than a decade ~ EbookFREE.me ~ He is known for his speed and is the sharpest sharp knife on the Villa front.
But today even Abang Laho returned to the wing to help the defense, and I have to say that Lambert is completely planning to tie this time.
At the beginning of the game, Manchester United blasted wildly towards Aston Villa's goal, but Aston Villa players insisted on the coach's request and stayed on the attack. Their players formed a dense defensive formation near the penalty area, leaving Manchester United players with no room to play at all.
The following time, this game directly turned into Manchester United's half-court offensive and defensive exercise. Manchester United players used their offensive talents to threaten the opponent's goal in various ways: short pass coordination, long pass rush, bottom pass , Personal breakthrough, settling attack ...
The Manchester United players took all the housekeeping skills out, but they worked for 45 minutes without any gain. Aston Villa's goal is like a copper wall and iron wall. When the referee blew the whistle in the first half, Scholes and Ferran on the sidelines were stupid.
Is this, this, this first half game over?
But we haven't scored yet?
The two looked at each other.
"What about the second half?"
"Then we can attack, and what can we do."
"What if I still can't open the situation like the first half?"
"This ... how do I know ... you think about it carefully, but Tiger has given you the responsibility of the interim coach, if you can't win this game, how can you explain to him."
Having said this, Ferran patted Scholes' shoulder: "Boy, this game is up to you ... no, these three games are up to you!"
Looking at Ferran's expression, Scholes had only one thought in his mind.
This guy Ferran has failed to learn ...
