We agreed to play football together, and you will be the head coach?

Chapter 243 Welcoming the Crown Prince to the Throne
"Liverpool played very proactively from the start, worthy of being a Premier League giant."

"The player they brought in from Palermo at a high price, Mascherano, has the style of a famous general. He is not only solid in defense, but also able to organize the team and his long passes are very accurate."

“People call him the Serie A Redondo!”

"His arrival completely fills the gap left by Xabi Alonso joining Real Madrid."

In the fourth minute of the game, Mascherano made a long pass to the left to launch an attack.

Dutch rising star Babel broke through Trippier and made a cross pass.

Despite the beautiful cross, there is still a certain gap between Trippier and Walker in terms of defensive performance.

Liverpool striker Kuyt confronted Cuellar, but it was just a cover, assuming it really leaked.

The real killer move was Volonin's shot from the back row.

Schmeichel was powerless in the face of this speed and level of attack.

"GOAL! Zero to one! Liverpool took the lead and scored the first goal!"

"Kuyt can really take on the responsibility of a center forward. He has great plasticity."

"Babel's breakthrough was very sharp, and the Dutch team has many talented players on the wing. They will have great potential in the World Cup!"

There was silence at Villa Park.

Liverpool brought huge pressure to them.

Insurmountable.

He Tianqi came to the sidelines to supervise the battle and gave frequent commands.

In the seventh minute, Motta made a lob pass into the penalty area.

After competing with the opponent for headers continuously, Heskey headed the ball back to outside the penalty area.

De Bruyne volleyed the ball and it flew into the stands.

Couldn't suppress it.

Courtois' palms tightened as he watched, fearing that De Bruyne would steal the spotlight again.

In the eleventh minute, Babel broke through and created a corner kick.

After the corner kick, Bonucci cleared the ball with a header.

Downing also got a chance for a long shot, but his technique was the same as De Bruyne's, and the ball flew directly into the stands.

In the 18th minute, Mascherano made another through pass.

Kuyt dribbled the ball into the penalty area.

Bonucci stuck close to him and gave him no chance to shoot.

Kuyt then knocked his heel.

Tang Ning followed up with a powerful shot.

boom!
Schmeichel made a heroic save and refused to retrieve the ball again.

After completing the save, Schmeichel roared, much like his father.

The same trick won't work on him twice.

Kuyt's performance can be said to be quite impressive, but it can also be said that his basic skills are not solid. Many of his treatments cannot be converted into effective attacks, and he can only ask for help from his teammates.

"Kante, go and keep an eye on Mascherano!" He Tianqi took the opportunity to find Kante.

Xiao Heizi then ran towards Xiao Ma Ge.

Mascherano never met his mentor, so now he has to meet this junior fellow student who is favored by his mentor.

After all, it is well known that the more miserable the background of the players under He Tianqi, the stronger they are.

In front was the amateur player and road paving worker Ribery; the shepherd boy and the young man in white clothes Modric who walked out of the war.

Then there was Public Enemy of Britain and Chris, who was mediocre in talent.

Vardy and Kante are now the focus of observation of major clubs.

Vardy has begun to show his demonic side, playing as a substitute striker with extremely high efficiency.

On the contrary, Kante has not shown any outstanding qualities yet.

boom!
Mascherano made a long pass, but then frowned and reached out to apologize to his teammates.

He passed it out of bounds.

This kind of pass should not have been a mistake for him, but Kante miraculously appeared on the route and got in the moment when Mascherano kicked the ball.

Mascherano couldn't retract his foot and could only make minor adjustments. As a result, the only route he could pass the ball to was impossible for his teammates to receive it.

Defensive master?

Mascherano immediately realized the other party's ability because what the other party did was the same as what he did in his early days in Palermo.

This Kanter is extremely talented in defense and does not show off his abilities.

I’m afraid that the future will be a “low-key, defensively strengthened” version of Gattuso!

In the 31st minute, Motta passed the ball straight to De Bruyne.

De Bruyne turned around, passed the ball, and started walking with big strides.

But Mascherano got in the way immediately and knocked De Bruyne down.

He Tianqi asked for a yellow card on the sidelines and was warned by the referee.

Mascherano was also called to his side by the referee, who said that if it happened again, he would be given a yellow card.

In the 34th minute, Motta made another through ball.

After Kante stuck to Mascherano, Liverpool's midfield became obviously much weaker.

This time Motta went to Abanglaho.

Abanglaho made a high-speed forward run and whenever he received the ball, he would have a one-on-one chance.

However, Liverpool goalkeeper Reina was very capable. He left the goal, grabbed the ball first, and then collided with Abanglaho.

Abanglaho was also warned by the referee.

Crash into the goalkeeper.

In the 45th minute, the first half was about to end.

Milner suddenly rushed forward and tried to break through Downing with the ball and succeeded.

The two English midfield geniuses faced off, and the more patient Milner won the first game.

boom!
Milner made a long pass directly. Although it was not as accurate as Motta and De Bruyne, it was also targeted.

His target was his extremely fast teammate Abang Laho!
Abanglaho started to move forward again, successfully beat the offside and chased the ball.

Reina also attacked again.

But this time Liverpool pressed too high, leaving too much space between the goalkeeper and the defense.

Abanglaho successfully got to the landing point of the ball before Reina.

"Reina, open your limbs and block!"

Abanglaho was a little nervous and he was not very sure about his ability to stop the ball.

But at this time, He Tianqi's voice came from the sidelines: "Just shoot!"

Abanglaho had an idea.

"Abanglaho stretched out his foot... and volleyed the ball!"

"The ball went over Reina...and it went in!"

"GOAL! One to one!"

"Vira's son Abanglaho helped the team equalize the score!"

“That was a very clever lob shot!”

"Reina, who had the upper hand in the last fight, was fooled by Abanglaho this time!"

“I have to say, under He Tianqi’s training, Abanglaho is becoming more and more like the golden boy Owen!”

"And the team he is facing today is Owen's old club Liverpool!"

The first half ended immediately.

The news that Villa drew 1-1 with Liverpool still attracted a lot of fans.

In particular, the "new Owen" scored against Liverpool, which became a hot topic.

……

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

In the 49th minute, Motta successfully intercepted Mascherano's through ball.

During the half-time break, He Tianqi made defensive arrangements against Mascherano.

Mascherano is indeed a rare defensive gate with offensive capabilities, but his aggressiveness still belongs to the cerebellum category.

The long pass is okay, but the through pass is not so good.

Motta's through ball found De Bruyne again.

This time, De Bruyne turned around in the center circle and sent a quick pass.

Abanglaho made another solo run.

He broke into the penalty area from the right side and shot.

However, Reina also saved this sure goal!
Prevent the team from falling behind.

Both goalkeepers performed at a very high level.

In the 53rd minute, Kante stole the ball directly from Mascherano's feet.

Mascherano's footwork is considered beautiful among defensive players, but it is of no use at all when facing a defensive pioneer like Kante.

De Bruyne raised his foot and passed the ball straight.

Abanglaho started immediately.

The opposing defender had no choice but to knock down the super fast horse.

The referee finally showed the opposing center back a yellow card.

Afterwards, the two sides continued to exchange attacks and the rhythm of offense and defense changed quickly.

Sixty-sixth minute.

Cuellar made a mistake in passing the ball from the backcourt.

The force was not strong enough.

Milner was intercepted by Downing immediately after receiving the ball. Downing sent a cross.

Babel cut inside without the ball, broke into the penalty area and headed the ball into the goal.

boom!
Schmeichel made another great save.

At this time, there was a wave of thumbs up from Villa's fans.

Fans are talking about:
"Casper is so strong! The way he blocks the ball really looks like old Schmeichel!"

"He Tianqi has a goalkeeper under his command! Schmeichel has a connection with Manchester United and he will be one of our Red Devils sooner or later!"

"Not necessarily... This is our Blue Moon youth training, Manchester City has the first right to buy it back!"

"If it was Courtois from before, it would be far worse."

"Courtois? That sissy, slow, big fool? If he comes to Villa, they will probably lose four goals!"

Courtois almost fainted from anger.

His last disastrous performance was the result of a combination of factors.

If you give him another chance, he will definitely be no worse than Schmeichel.

for sure!
In the 72nd minute, Liverpool made a corner pass in the backcourt, trying to lure the opponent out of its hole.

As a result, He Tianqi waved his hand and the entire army attacked.

Under continuous pressing, Liverpool's defense made a mistake in the small-scale pass. After Plessis received the ball, the football was stuck between his toes and the grass.

The original plan to step on the ball and move it, suddenly turned into stepping on the ball and being unable to move it... and he stumbled and fell to the ground.

How could Motta miss such an opportunity?

He stretched out his foot to complete the steal and then made a horizontal pass.

Fellaini took a long shot towards the ball.

Shocking!

boom!
Reina made another amazing save and caught the ball with one hand.

Fellaini's long shot was too targeted and Reina judged its direction.

But the next moment, the football returned.

Abanglaho made the rebound and scored.

"GOAL! 2-1! Abang Laho scored twice to help Villa reverse the score!"

"It's really amazing!"

"Abanglaho was too fast for Liverpool's defenders to keep up with."

"Benitez didn't bring Carragher today. Liverpool has main players in the midfield and goalkeeper, but the defense is composed of substitutes and youth players."

"I thought it was enough to deal with it, but I didn't expect that..."

After scoring the goal, Abanglaho rushed to the sidelines, very happy.

You know, his number of goals scored in Villa's forward line is only fourth.

Dong Fangzhuo, Heskey and Vardy all have more than him.

This is so uncomfortable.

If he continues to play like this, he will have to become a substitute.

In the 75th minute, He Tianqi started to make substitutions.

Giroud replaces Heskey.

The Liverpool players who came from afar still gave Heskey some applause.

After all, he is a legendary figure in the sleeper berth and the founder of Happy Football.

In the 81st minute, Mascherano broke away from Kante's defense and made a straight pass from the left.

Babel, Voronin and Kuyt made continuous small-scale cooperation on the left.

Finally, Babel broke out, cut into the penalty area from the left and made an inverted triangle pass.

Kuyt received the ball, feinted twice and shot with his left foot.

The angle is quite tricky.

Although he lacks basic skills, Kuyt is actually quite capable of seizing opportunities as long as his feet feel right.

"GOAL! 2-2! Liverpool has equalized the score!"

"Kuyt scored! He was definitely one of the best players on Liverpool's side today!"

"Trippier's defense is really not good. Villa's right side was targeted by Liverpool today!"

"It's a pity that Walker and Bale are both absent. It's not easy for Milner to fill in on one side. Although there are other defenders in the Villa team who are capable of playing as left and right full-backs, none of them have won the trust of He Tianqi."

The camera was focused on the few Liverpool fans.

They started singing “You’ll Never Walk Alone.”

Villa fans booed and boycotted their singing.

Before kick-off, He Tianqi replaced Kante with Albrighton.

Mascherano is growing very fast and has already become a top defensive midfielder. Kante is still young and it would be good enough if he can hold Mascherano back for most of the game.

Now Kante's defense has been broken by Mascherano.

Next it’s time for both sides to compete in offensive efficiency.

Vardy is warming up on the sidelines and it looks like he will be substituted in soon.

The camera also turned to Vardy.

All the major commentators are discussing this magical "amateur striker".

Eighty-fourth minute.

Trippier intercepted Babel on the wing and saved face.

The latter's physical decline was an important reason for the weakening of the offensive.

Trippier passed the ball to Albrighton in front.

Albrighton dribbled the ball forward. He was in full form as a substitute. Compared with the slightly slower speed of others, his speed went from "averagely fast" to "relatively fast".

He therefore successfully advanced the ball into the attacking third.

boom!
Albrighton made a cross.

The Liverpool full-back tried to block his cross and flew forward with his foot.

However, Albrighton's cross was not to the depth of the penalty area, but... to near the penalty area line.

It is equivalent to transmitting some information back.

So the football was instead dodged by Liverpool's full-back.

He Tianqi nodded: "Not all players can be excellent in many aspects. Compared with those shining all-rounders, specialists like Albrighton who are only good at one thing are easily overlooked."

"Speed, dribbling, shooting, physicality, positioning, defense... Albrighton is average."

“But his passing, especially his crosses, are extremely strong!”

"What makes him better than his peers is that he realized this earlier and studied the art of crossing."

"For this reason, I specifically asked Beckham for his biography."

"Albrighton's kick was quite Beckham-like."

Little Inzaghi was so envious and jealous.

Albrighton was truly fortunate to have met a good teacher like He Tianqi.

If I had met a coach like He Tianqi when I was young, I might not be worse than my brother Filippo, right?

The moment Albrighton passed the ball, Abanglaho, who was advancing towards the small penalty area, suddenly slowed down, stopped abruptly and retreated!

He and Albrighton are both from Villa's youth training and have some tricks up their sleeves with each other.

Abang Laho didn't like confrontation, so the two agreed on this "cross inverted triangle".

The football flew in the air.

Abanglao stood upright with his sword in hand, raised his leg and slashed in mid-air!

With the help of [Basic Shooting Skills] and having practiced similar routines before, the football went straight to the ground.

Bounce off the ground.

It just passed Reina who was trying to save the ball and headed straight for the net.

"GOAL! 3 to 2! A decisive victory!"

“This is a killer shot!”

"Abang Laho who scored the goal! But I think from today on, you can call him Abang Lavan or Obang Laho!"

“He scored three goals for Villa in this game with his fists and feet!”

"He is the second player to score a hat trick for Aston Villa this season after Dong Fangzhuo!"

"But this is the FA Cup, his goal is even more valuable than Dong Fangzhuo's!"

"Abanglaho also tops the FA Cup real-time scorer list!"

"The British Empire is rising!"

"He Tianqi is truly amazing! Is it possible that after Italy and Spain, the era that belongs to England is finally coming? Is England finally going to win the World Cup and the European Cup?"

In the corner flag area, the spirited Abanglaho had reason to give the English people countless reasons to imagine.

Compared with Dong Fangzhuo who comes from China, a football desert, there is De Bruyne who is an ally but a foreigner after all, and Gareth Bale who was born in the "neighboring country" Wales but is not one of them after all...

Including Vardy, who is from his own country but has a bad record in the amateur league...Abanglaho is a "good family" and "excellent in both character and academic performance".

Such a person becoming a true British star is obviously what the Fleet Street media would prefer to see.

In today's battle, Abanglaho became a god.

And the height and popularity are definitely far beyond any of Vera's previous performances!
This resulted in Abanglaho's name becoming a hot topic before the game was over.

He Tianqi felt deeply warmed when he saw the poster of the original news.

I am an Aston Villa fan for 20 years!
Although Imo was frustrated in Real Madrid, he never forgot his main job.

The sudden emergence of Abanglaho can be said to be the right time, right place and right people!

It won’t be long before He Tianqi will have the English shouting “Welcome the Prince to the throne!”
