In this game, Manchester City took the home court.

The atmosphere at the Etihad Stadium was very lively. Although it was a mid-week game, the team was almost full.

From the degree of importance the fans attach to this game, we can also see the importance that Manchester City attaches to this game.

Aston Villa was the Premier League champion last season and Manchester City was the league runner-up.

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, Manchester City, which was only a traditional mid- and lower-level team in the Premier League before the Arab consortium took over, was able to win the runner-up in the Premier League after only a few seasons of growth, which is a very good result.

However, Manchester City people don't look that much.

They were in very good shape last season, and the whole team thought it was a great regret to be able to steal the league championship from Aston Villa.

Of course, the winner is the king, and Aston Villa's champion is clean, so Manchester City can't blame anything, just a success or a defeat.

However, one thing is certain. After the failure of last season, Manchester City is very clear:

If Manchester City wants to rise and dominate, they must defeat the current overlord Aston Villa.

Specifically, or the most realistic first step is to directly defeat the opponent in the game against Aston Villa.

This is the first step to building confidence in the team and players!

First, defeat the opponent in a direct showdown, and then win the final victory in a long season of competition.

Manchester City will have several rounds to meet with Aston Villa in the league. When they meet in the first round of the League Cup, they are regarded by Mancini as a good opportunity to defeat Aston Villa:

He wanted Fang Jue to send some substitutes to give up the League Cup.

When he defeated Aston Villa for the first time, Mancini was not picky about food. What he liked was the result of being able to boost morale.

Regardless of whether it is the main lineup of Aston Villa, we will kill the opponent first.

Only by getting the other person's body first and falling in love over time will you get the other person's heart.

So, in this League Cup game, Manchester City's whole team held their breath and wanted Aston Villa to play in the game.

...

In Manchester City, the most vigorous fighting spirit is their Argentine scorer Aguero.

Last season was Aguero's first season with Manchester City.

The Argentine youngster scored 23 goals and 8 assists.

It can be said that the performance is quite outstanding.

The domestic media in Argentina are also lamenting that it is a pity that such an outstanding Aguero did not bring a championship to Manchester City.

Aguero himself also felt that it was a pity.

After the game began, Aguero was eager to try, and he was eager to lead Manchester City to defeat Aston Villa.

Last season, Manchester City lost 2-4 at home and 2-2 away. He hopes that Manchester City's history of unbeatable face aston Villa will be rewritten under his leadership.

However, after the game began, Aguero found himself in trouble.

Today, Fang Jue did not arrange for Sendros to guard Aguero. The tall and powerful Sendros turned slowly and would be more embarrassed when facing the flexible Aguero.

Thiago Silva is responsible for the targeting of Aguero today.

Silva is a very comprehensive central defender. He is a good defensive position selection. Although his height is average, he bounces well and does not suffer any loss in fighting for high altitude. The speed of the back is excellent among the central defenders. He turns very quickly and is a very flexible central defender.

It can be said that Thiago Silva and Aston Villa's defensive ability has greatly increased when facing flexible forwards.

Yaya Toure sent a straight pass in the midfield.

Aguero turned around as soon as he got the ball, he was posted by Silva.

Aguero wanted to speed up and throw away the opponent, but Silva stuck his position firmly.

Aguero found himself unable to get around and was always stuck by Thiago Silva.

In the end, he had no choice but to pass the football to Dzeko who came to pick him up.

Then Dzeko suffered a loss while fighting Sendros. Dzeko hit the sideline and didn't even give Manchester City a sideline.

When Fang Jue saw the two contests on the court, he couldn't help laughing.

What Fang Jue admires most is that Silva has strong reading competition skills.

This is a smart player who can predict the direction of the opponent's passing, which gives him enough time to put pressure on the receiver in advance.

Take this successful defense for example. When Yaya Toure passed the ball, Silva made a successful prediction and approached Aguero in advance.

When Aguero got the ball, putting pressure in advance, forcing the opponent to be unable to continue moving forward and could only choose to pass the ball.

And Sendros' cooperation over there was also tacit understanding and successfully defended Dzeko.

Sendros used his body to fight Dzeko, while Silva used his experience and position selection prediction to guard Aguero.

Fang Jue is very satisfied with this central defender partner and is very confident.

...

Subsequently, Aguero took the ball several times to face Silva, but failed to form a more effective attack.

He knew he was in trouble.

This defender is not very tall, but he has strong ability to fight and is very flexible. He is doing a good job in prediction and positioning.

He tried to break through with speed. Thiago Silva's position selection was very good, and he fought and retreated. Then he suddenly fought and squeezed away. After squeezing away with his body, he destroyed the football.

On Aston Villa's bench, Nesta was also cheering for Silva's outstanding defense.

Silva is Nesta's direct disciple.

This kind of position selection and fighting is the best for Italian defenders, and both Maldini and Nesta are good at this.

Silva is around Nesta and is improving almost every season.

...

The reporters in the media table were also hotly discussing the showdown between Aguero and Thiago Silva.

Obviously, Aguero's performance against Silva was not good today, and he didn't take advantage of the ball after several times.

Manchester City's offense was hindered, while on the defensive end, they were under the impact of Aston Villa.

The attack group led by Ibrahimovic continues to attack, looking for Manchester City's defensive loopholes.

Fang Jue's tactics before the game pointed out that the team will specifically attack Nastasic's defensive area today.

Compared to Kompani, the nineteen-year-old central defender seems to be more bullying.

In the 29th minute, Aston Villa finally broke the deadlock.

"Lewandowski-!!!! Beautiful stealing of the ball! Aston Villa scored the goal!"

"Ibrahimovic made great contributions to this goal. He passed Nastasic with the ball, forcing Kompani to come and assist in defense. Lewandowski was empty! Aston Villa took the lead 1-0 in the away game!"

Fang Jue applauded and applauded on the sidelines.

Ibrahimovic got the ball, and Nastasic was obviously not tough enough. Ibrahimovic pushed away directly. He was about to enter the penalty area, so Kompani had to come to assist in defense.

Ibrahimovic immediately passed the ball, but Modric did not delay and directly divided the football into the side.

Ha Mei hurried the football into the penalty area, and Lewandowski beat Sabaretta to head the ball.

...

Lewandowski was very excited after scoring the goal, and he ran to the sidelines to high-fives with coach Fang Jue.

"Beautiful job, Robert." Fang Jue laughed and praised his complimentary disciple.

On the other side, Mancini gritted her teeth in dissatisfaction.

Nastasici's style of play was relatively soft, and he retreated by Ibrahimovic's tough impact. A gap was opened and the gap in the defense line was magnified.

Ibrahimovic.

Mancini stared at his former favorite player in Inter Milan and came to Aston Villa. This arrogant guy actually retreated willingly and became the attack organizer.

How did Fang Jue convince this proud guy?
