Chapter 775： God's world

Aston Villa and Manchester City are very familiar old rivals.

Therefore, the two sides did not try too much, and the game entered a high confrontation, fast-paced state from the beginning.

Of course, this is also directly related to the'nature' of the game.

Although the Community Shield Cup is also a relatively important final, in comparison, its importance is still relatively underestimated.

For the Premier League teams, the greatest sense of being able to participate in the Community Shield competition is to have a high-quality warm-up before the start of the league.

Aston Villa guessed the coin before the game, so Manchester City got the right to pick the side, and Aston Villa got the right to serve.

Before this official game came, Fang Jue officially announced the captain of Aston Villa for the new season.

Midfielder Clemente was named the team's first captain.

England international striker Abang Raho, who was born in youth training, is the second captain.

The team's current top star Gareth Bale is the team's third captain.

The veteran American goalkeeper Friedel is the fourth captain of the team.

Well, in fact, the second, third, and fourth captains are more of honor. Considering that Clement is almost full attendance, there are not many opportunities for other players to wear the captain's armband.

...

The referee of the game is England Golden Whistle Atkinson.

After Atkinson blew the start of the game, Aston Villa directly launched the attack, and they pushed the football to Manchester City's penalty area with three passes and two kicks.

Mane made a horizontal cut inward, suddenly knocked the football, and then inserted Modric's right-footed arc ball to hoist the football into the penalty area.

The German veteran Klose, who represented Aston Villa for the first time in the official game, felt great in front of the goal. He grabbed the football goal and completed a shot.

If it hadn't been for Kompany's excellent position and blocked the football with his body on the goal line, this ball would have been there.

Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart did not respond in time to the goal, thanks to the defender's rescue.

"——Kompany! He blocked a shot that must be scored!" Lineker said.

There was a huge ‘whoop’ in the stands of the New Wembley Stadium:

Aston Villa fans are sorry to inhale.

Manchester City fans were a huge exclamation.

"The defending Premier League champion Aston Villa's first attack posed a threat to Manchester City."

...

Subsequently, Aston Villa's sideline kick launched an attack, Bell's pass was picked up by Joe Hart in the air, and Manchester City immediately launched a counterattack.

Their Spanish star David Silva suddenly dribbled in front of Aston Villa's penalty area and suddenly sent a slash ball.

Dzeko jumped in from Kyle Walker and swept the football to the goal before the football was about to go out of the baseline.

Balotelli shot from close range and the football was bravely thrown out by Friedel.

"Friedel, a wonderful save!"

"Friedel, it is hard to imagine, this is an old goalkeeper who is already forty years old!"

"The thirty-three-year-old Roberto Enke announced his retirement and entered the first-team coaching staff of Aston Villa, while the 40-year-old Friedel made such a brave save on the court."

Fang Jue applauded from the sidelines to applaud the wonderful save of the old American goalkeeper.

In fact, after the transfer window opened, Friedel once found out that he wanted to leave Aston Villa, and the next home has been contacted, it is the Tottenham Hotspur club.

Fang Jue tried his best to lobby, and he hoped that Friedel could stay in Villa.

Fang Jue said frankly, De Gea is still young, and he needs an experienced veteran like Friedel to sit and help.

After Fang Jue's persuasion, the American veteran finally chose to stay at Aston Villa.

"After a threatening attack by Aston Villa, Manchester City immediately played a wonderful attack."

"Both sides did not intend to retain any strength from the beginning of this game..."

"We can already be sure that this will be a very exciting and intense game."

"That's right, it's very exciting and intense...Both sides' offenses are very fast...Aston Villa's attack, passing, Modric shot from long range, and slammed out-Kompany kicked forward , Manchester City’s counterattack, Kolarov made a pass and went out, and Yaya Toure shot from a long distance-oh oh, hit the post! Aston Villa escaped!!!"

...

Yaya Toure held his head and didn't believe that his shot could bypass Friedel's fingers, but slammed into the post.

The Aston Villa fans in the stands were all jumped in shock. When they saw the football bypassing Friedel's ten-finger pass, their hearts were cold. Fortunately, they stood up.

Friedel lay on the ground. The American veteran turned over and patted the pillar directly. Thanks to the shelter of the pillar, he was really desperate just now.

After Kolarov's pass was pushed out by Senderos, Yaya Toure rushed forward and shot after winning.

This shot was too sudden, and many people in the penalty area affected Friedel's observation line...

Not only the fans of Aston Villa were shocked, they felt that their hearts almost popped out of their throats just now.

He saw that the football had passed the poorly prepared Friedel, and thought he was going to make it. Fortunately, the goddess of luck favored the team of talented coaches.

Then Fang Jue went into a rage on the sidelines.

"What did you think?"

"How can Touré shoot from where?"

When the Côte d’Ivoire midfielder took a shot, Aston Villa’s players failed to interfere and fight in the first place. This is the problem.

Clement was going to mark David Silva.

Modric was pestered by De Jong.

At this time, there should be a guard pressed out.

The tacit understanding between Coulibaly and Senderos is still a little bit weaker. One person should compete for the top and the other should push it out.

Or the full-back Kyle Walker who is close to the right presses up.

In short, this time the defense is not tacit, it is problematic.

Aston Villa's defense backbone, Senderos, raised his hand to indicate that he had not arranged a line of defense, and he was responsible for this problem.

...

"Only a few minutes after the opening, the two sides continued to have wonderful offenses, and the pace of the game was too fast." John Mortensen said, "After Aston Villa lost many main players, there were many young people in the starting lineup. A little bit more, which makes them more speedy and aggressive."

"On the Manchester City side, Mancini has already made this team into shape. The existence of Yaya Toure has made the weakest link of Manchester City midfield supplemented. This is also how Manchester City could get fourth place last season. The greatest guarantee."

"The midfield partner of De Jong and Yaya Toure, after a season of running-in, made up for the shortcomings of Manchester City in the midfield, and a star like Aguero has ushered in front. It is worth looking forward to more. Lineker said, "With De Jong in the midfield, Yaya Toure can attack and defend well. Manchester City's midfield midfielder partner is great."

Fang Jue is also considering this issue.

De Jong's and Yaya Touré's partner attracted enough attention last season.

Manchester City has De Jong.

Aston Villa has Clement.

Clement's body doesn't look very strong, but he is very strong and very strong.

In addition to Clemente’s defensive sweep, Clemente’s defense is very skillful. He rarely fouls big moves, rarely takes cards, and red cards are even more. Very rare.

De Jong's defense is accomplished by his strong body and aggressive defense.

There is a saying among Chinese fans, "North De Jongnam Pepe", which Fang Jue knew.

With De Jong sweeping in the midfield, Yaya Toure can focus more on offense.

This puts a certain amount of pressure on Aston Villa's defense.

Of course, Aston Villa's offensive is equally fierce, and they put pressure on Manchester City.

...

In the subsequent games, both sides had offense and defense.

Wonderful offensive scenes continue to appear.

Faced with this pressure, the goalkeepers and defenders of both sides performed fairly well and made no mistakes.

The game lasted for nearly 30 minutes, and Aston Villa and Manchester City were evenly divided.

This is evident from the stalemate and balance between the two sides in the midfield.

Clemente and Modric's double midfielder partner, and Manchester City's Yaya Toure and De Jong's dual midfielder partner are the best performers on the field.

Clement protects Modric, and Modric organizes the attack.

De Jong protects Yaya Touré, who is responsible for the organization.

Kicked so much.

However, although both sides have created a lot of offensive and scoring opportunities, the score on the court is still zero to zero.

"The game has been going on for more than 30 minutes... the game is still zero to zero. Time flies so fast. Both sides played very fiercely. Unknowingly, half an hour passed!" Lineker praised. "This is a wonderful game that makes the audience forget the time."

"I have a hunch that the goal is about to appear. Both sides have a chance to score. It's a pity that their luck is a little worse. Now, it depends on who can seize the opportunity first. This deadlock will be broken by which side first. Which side will the victory scale lean towards..." John Model said, "I am still more optimistic about Aston Villa's first goal. They have this strength..."

As soon as John Mortensen's voice fell, Manchester City launched an attack.

...

This was originally an attack by Aston Villa. Suarez and Klose hit the wall with Klose outside the penalty area, and Suarez's volley was blocked by Kompany.

Modric passed in and the football was pushed out by Lescott.

After Kolarov got the ball, he launched a surprise attack.

He made a long pass from the backcourt and found Balotelli in front.

Balotelli is a young player with a lot of criticism...

Fighting with opponents fans, not wearing a training vest, fighting with teammates, shooting darts at one's junior... these are the actions of Manchester City striker Balotelli.

Although the Italian demon boy can indeed have some amazing performances on the court sometimes, the problems outside the court seem to have always been his focus.

Balotelli is definitely an alternative among players, the darling of scandal headlines in the media, and a problematic player in the hearts of fans.

The media broke the news that when he was at Inter Milan, teammate Materazzi once slapped Balotelli in the player channel.

Then Balotelli behaved for a while.

Perhaps after coming to Manchester City, there was no such rude man like Materazzi to educate him. After he got better, he had forgotten the pain. After the transfer to Manchester City, he had an endless stream of negative news, all of his girlfriend’s girlfriends and rude breakups. Text messages and peculiar hairstyle have made him the headlines of the British media.

Maybe it was because he saw that he had problems like this, this genius boy wanted to reform himself, and even wrote a letter of guarantee to Mancini.

But the good times didn't last long. The most outrageous thing was that he actually threw darts out of the window at the Carrington training base in Manchester City, and unfortunately it hit the young players of the youth team. Balotelli's explanation afterwards was that training was too boring...

...

Closer to home.

"Beautiful stop!" Lineker praised.

Balotelli's stop is very beautiful, he didn't stop the football at his feet, it would stop the football directly.

He beautifully parked the football not far in front of him.

This allowed Balotelli to take advantage of the momentum to accelerate.

Then he changed direction while advancing at high speed and passed Kyle Walker who rushed up to defend him.

"Aston Villa's side defense has been broken!!!" Mortensen shouted, "Balotelli is still dribbling the ball."

Balotelli looked up at the direction of the goal.

Then Balotelli chose to change direction laterally and accelerate.

At the same time, in front of the door, Zheke, who has been interspersed in place, raised his hands high: here! Here! Pass here!

Senderos is defending Dzeko He firmly sticks to the Boss.

Coulibaly is defending David Silva.

The Spanish international is very flexible, running around in front of the goal, flexible like a rabbit, Coulibaly really wanted to directly pick up the rabbit ears and grab him viciously.

...

Milner rushed to defend Balotelli.

His defense is very standard, he didn't blindly grab, so he was easily overtaken.

Keep a certain distance, but this distance ensures that there is no room for the opponent to shoot long.

Yes, whether it is from the perspective of the audience in front of the TV or from the perspective of the commentary, Balotelli has been a little procrastinated with the ball this time, and there is no good shooting angle.

Everyone thought Balotelli would pass the ball because he had no other choice but to pass the ball.

However, even though Dzeko's hand was going to be "sour", even David Silva made two consecutive air cuts back and forth, Balotelli still did not pass the ball.

At this moment, Balotelli swiped the football with his left foot and Milner went up half a step.

Balotelli pulled the football sideways.

At the same time, he raised his right foot and shot directly with one kick.

The football passed through the small gap between Milner's two.

Milner could even feel a trembling cold wind passing by his own egg.

At the same time, the egg hurts and the inner sides of the legs are numb.

Hit by football.

This kick has a lot of power, but when Milner's body is rubbed, the power becomes weaker and the ball slows down.

However, this shot was too concealed, and after being rubbed off, the line of the football also changed, a bounce in front of the goal.

Then he caught off guard Friedel and got into the goal!
