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

Chapter 252: The Great Sage’s First Step, Not Afraid of Retreating

In the 45th minute, Villa got the ball and Manchester United actively returned to defense to keep the last goal.

De Bruyne looked to his left at Bale and saw no chance, so he passed the ball to Albrighton on the right.

Evra rushed to Albrighton immediately.

However, after receiving the ball, Albrighton pulled the ball to the right with his right foot, avoiding Evra's interception.

With such a good right-foot pass, his ball control can't be too bad either.

After letting Evra out of the way, Albrighton knocked the ball to the left with his right foot, then landed his right foot and left foot, and raised his right foot to send a cross.

The pace is adjusted very quickly.

This was not a well-prepared cross.

Especially since Evra was braking and ready to come back to interfere.

But Albrighton's kick was extremely accurate!

Looking at his teammates Dong Fangzhuo, Abang Laho, Vardy, De Bruyne and Bale shining one after another, it would be a lie for Abang Laho to say that he was not envious.

He was twenty-one years old, which was also the age when people aspired to become famous at a young age.

However, he knows his position, team positioning and playing style, and does not support him to score goals like crazy.

So he tried to think and optimize in the areas he was good at.

Just like this cross.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders this is just a cross, but in the eyes of a cross master, this set of pre-action moves to get past Evra and save time is simply the essence.

At least Beckham will applaud after watching it.

In the Villa team, Trippier also appreciates this technique.

But Kyle Walker, who plays in the same position as him, is not interested in these.

So Walker's crosses will never be as good as Trippier's.

boom!
The football flew into the penalty area.

The arc is not very large, but the ball speed is very fast.

This was intentional on the part of Albrighton.

"This cross finds Heskey, no, Heskey can't get it, it's too high."

"Wait, this is for the later orders!"

"Bell!"

"How could he be there? He's just a full-back, no... he's a winger now!"

Bale jumped high and shook his head at the back post with full force.

The football went into the goal.

"GOAL! 2-2! Valencia took the lead again. Less than three minutes later, Bale equalized the score with a beautiful header!"

"Bale scored twice, just like Valencia, he really wasn't behind at all!"

“I didn’t expect Bale’s header to be so good!”

"Vidic didn't know Bale was right behind him. He missed this man, but the responsibility was not on him, but on Gary Neville who didn't keep up with Bale!"

"Bale's speed, height and physical confrontation are all very good. He is not afraid of Neville even when he has the ball, let alone when he has no ball?"

In the stands, Villa fans cheered in unison: "Here! The best winger in the Championship is here!"

This is in response to what Manchester United fans said when Valencia scored twice just now: "The Premier League's best winger has scored twice, where is the Championship's best winger?"
Now, I guess everyone knows where Bell is!
Ferguson was very dissatisfied with the team's last defense in the first half.

No doubt he'll be turning on the hair dryer in the locker room at half-time!

On the Aston Villa side, He Tianqi emphasized the team's defense against Valencia on the left side.

Especially Kante.

After observing the game for half a game, Kante has mastered some of Valencia's running habits and breakthrough characteristics.

In the second half, he will further restrict Valencia.

This is the only way to limit Manchester United's performance.

Of course, it's just a restriction, it's impossible to freeze it.

Under Ferguson's training and the accumulation of Manchester United's resources, Valencia is no longer what it used to be.

He now does have 70% to 80% of the ability of Ribery, Ronaldo and others.

……

The second half.

In the 47th minute, Valencia made a cross from the bottom, causing chaos in Villa's penalty area.

Fortunately, Maldini came to the rescue in the chaos.

Evra then volleyed the ball from outside the box and kicked it into the stands, failing to create a threat.

In the 52nd minute, the referee suddenly blew the whistle.

It turned out that Valencia and Kante had a conflict.

Kante stuck to Valencia early on and put close pressure on him, not giving Valencia any chance to attack at high speed.

Valencia was upset by the defense and pushed Xiao Hei Dou over in anger.

Why should black people make things difficult for black people?

The referee warned Valencia, but Motta and others came over and said, "Why not give a yellow card?"
Valencia's heart aches.

Motago, is this how you treat your teammates who once fought alongside you?

Motta: Don’t try to get close to me, I’m a main player in Palermo!
In the 55th minute, the referee blew the whistle again.

This time when Villa was passing the ball in the backcourt, Motta received the ball and withstood Fletcher's attempt to steal it, and Fletcher was able to "subdue" him completely. In the end, Fletcher used his hands and feet to knock Motta down.

There is a certain gap between the midfielders of both sides in terms of ball control, ball protection and passing, especially when compared with Motta.

The referee had to show the yellow card.

It is a combined penalty for these two fouls.

He asked Manchester United players to control their emotions.

Although he also knew that it was embarrassing for the Premier League's first place to be equalized by the Championship's first place.

In the 61st minute, Carrick lost his patience and tried a through ball.

As a result, Motta successfully intercepted the ball.

Carrick underestimated his long legs.

Motta, in turn, made a straight pass, which went straight through Carrick and found De Bruyne behind him.

De Bruyne turned around and passed the ball quickly!
This is something he learned from studying Modric's early playing style.

Before joining Real Madrid, Modric often used this trick to create good opportunities.

So Bale accelerated directly, giving Neville no chance to pull him back, and left the car far behind.

"Bale ran out of position and Manchester United's defense was only Vidic."

"Vidic didn't have time to stop Bale from receiving the ball. He was retreating. He should have been trying to prevent Bale from stopping and dribbling past him."

"Bale received the ball and took a little time to adjust. As long as Vidic can delay him a little longer, Manchester United's defense will be back!"

At the critical moment, He Tianqi gave Bell advice on the sidelines: "Make soup! Make soup! Eat him raw!"

Bale acted immediately, kicked the ball far away, and ordered his favorite Cantonese dish - a blast!
Vidic's face suddenly changed.

He turned around immediately while retreating and tried to exert force in advance.

However, Bale still came from behind and easily surpassed him.

Vidic wanted to pull Bale, but Bale shook off Vidic's pull.

He Tianqi watched Vidic running hard on the sidelines and couldn't help but think of the time when he first introduced Vidic seven years ago.

From the first moment he got Vidic, He Tianqi hardly had to worry about Vidic's defense, confrontation, air defense, header attack, etc.

If long passes are a small change that He Tianqi made to Vidic, then retreating to defense is the biggest change that He Tianqi made to him.

All of this is to solve Vidic's fatal flaw of slow turning.

With the support of [Basic Retreat], [Paradigm Retreat - Star Level], and the control of Vidic's weight, this fatal flaw of Vidic has almost never been revealed.

He is a perfect centre-back.

If he was Italian he would win the Ballon d'Or!

But after Vidic joined the Premier League, he gained weight to cope with the rough and wild style of play in the Premier League. At the same time, this is also related to changes in age and diet.

He looked stronger, but his fatal flaw was exposed.

Especially when there is a reference!
"Oh my god! Belle is so fast!"

"Vidic is too slow! It seemed like it took him a century to turn around!"

“Is this the aircraft carrier turning around?”

"Bale breaks into the penalty area and scores a single goal!"

"The serious test for Van der Sar is coming... yes or no..."

"GOAL! Bale volleyed with his left foot, straight to the diagonal line, and it was a half-high ball, the football went straight into the upper right corner of the net!"

"That's a shot that's almost impossible to save!"

"3-2! Aston Villa took the lead for the first time in the game!"

"Gareth Bale, he's like a god descending from heaven! He completed a hat trick in his first appearance as a left winger!"

"Now, tell me, who is the best winger in the English professional football league?"

"Valencia, out!"

"Gareth Bale, good!"

The Villa fans at the scene acted like crazy!
Bale's name resounded throughout Wembley Stadium.

The Monkey King appears out of nowhere!
Vidic, one of the world's best central defenders, fell down.

The fall of one legend often means the beginning of another!
The fans at the scene are witnessing history!

But a true legend is never afraid of a challenge.

The real Bull Demon King will not close his stubborn eyes even if his head is chopped off.

This is a spirit that every participant of the Palermo Miracle will never forget!
Two minutes later, Manchester United took a corner kick. Vidic jumped high and headed the ball into Villa's goal with his unstoppable strength!
"GOAL! Three to three!"

"Vidic scores with a header!"

"Only his header deserves the words 'powerful and heavy'!"

"He has redeemed himself! He is still one of the best central defenders in the world. Most of the time I don't even want to add the last two words!"

"After Manchester United took the lead, Villa could equalize at the speed of light. After Villa took the lead, Manchester United would not let Villa be happy for even a minute!"

"Both teams played at a very high level."

"Compared to the explosive Villa, Manchester United's advantage is that they have more players who can decide the game!"

During this period, Bale was also subjected to targeted defense from Manchester United.

The space for breakthrough in the frontcourt is getting smaller and smaller.

In the 69th minute, Heskey retreated to support.

However, Vidic took the initiative, disrupted Heskey's reception from behind, then knocked Heskey away and launched a counterattack with a long pass.

Bale's humiliating soup-making angered the Eastern European giant.

Husky: But why is it me and not Bale who bears the giant's roar?
Park Ji-sung dribbled the ball along the wing and made a through pass.

The wind-chasing boy Irving returned to his peak and scored a goal.

Unfortunately, the linesman raised the flag immediately and Irving was already offside when Park Ji-sung passed the ball.

The passing and running coordination between these two players is not yet harmonious enough.

At the same time, this was also caused by Maldini's experienced retreat.

After all, he is the teammate of the offside fox Inzaghi, and he is very good at creating offside and countering offside.

Both sides then made substitutions at the same time.

On He Tianqi's side, Giroud replaced Heskey.

Heskey was suppressed by Vidic throughout the game, doing nothing and depleting a lot of physical energy.

Giroud's coming on is like replacing a battery.

But the situation will not change, he will be suppressed by Vidic, even more severely.

In addition, He Tianqi also replaced Albrighton with Vardy.

With Vidic around, the cost-effectiveness of passing the ball is too low.

And with De Bruyne and Motta in the midfield, Villa's midfield completely suppressed Manchester United's Carrick + Fletcher midfield combination.

Manchester United also focuses on attacking from the flanks rather than the midfield.

Therefore, Villa removed Albrighton, who was helping the midfield, and replaced him with Vardy, a pure striker who was of no help to the midfield. This was a reasonable enhancement of the team's offensive capabilities.

On the Manchester United side, Ferguson replaced Owen with Rooney.

Although the former's injury may not have fully recovered, Manchester United needs a change of guns.

There is no doubt that Rooney is a greater threat than Irving at this stage.

In addition, he also replaced Park Ji-sung with Giggs.

He tried to fly on both wings with Valencia to break the situation where Kante was entangled with Valencia and Manchester United's offense was weak.

In the 74th minute, Rooney came on and attempted a long shot.

But he underestimated Schmeichel.

Schmeichel was in great form today, perhaps trying to prove that Manchester United made a mistake in rejecting him.

He stood up and kicked hard, actively launching a counterattack.

Bale once again got off to a quick start, successfully caught the ball and began to advance.

Manchester United retreated quickly this time and did not completely lose their position.

Bale rolled the ball in with his left foot.

Look for Giroud outside the penalty area.

Vidic immediately struck out.

Giroud took a defensive stance in advance and rushed towards Vidic desperately.

The collision of two muscular giants made Chengdu feel excited.

But Giroud still lacks some skills.

With such a violent impact, he failed to touch the football.

But he also stopped Vidic from touching the ball.

The next moment, De Bruyne rushed to the top of the arc with big strides and shot!
"De Blaube" is online!
The quality of the shot was very high.

boom!
Van der Sar himself was surprised at his own save.

He actually blocked the football!
But then he panicked.

Because grassroots Vardy has already arrived.

Although he had a weak presence, he made a follow-up shot and kicked the ball into the Manchester United goal.

Wembley Stadium is boiling again!
"GOAL! 4-3! Refusing to equalize, Villa aims to win the championship!"

"The goal was scored by Vardy! It was Vardy, an amateur player who should have been playing in the fifth-tier league in England!"

"He is a true grassroots miracle! He is He Tianqi's substitute warrior!"

"In the League Cup final, he came on as a substitute and won the game with one strike!"

"I guarantee that Ferguson thought that he might lose to He Tianqi's tactical arrangement, might lose to De Bruyne's fatal pass, and might lose to Bale's hat trick!"

“But I never thought that I would lose to an amateur player one day!”

"Who says that great British stars can only be born from youth training talents? Amateur players can also be the king of England's strikers!"

"World Cup! Vardy!"

"World Cup! Vardy!"

"World Cup! Vardy!"

The fans shouted in unison, asking the England coach to bring Vardy this summer!

The drama of being completely dark appears again.

The English haven't been so satisfied with the League Cup final for at least a decade!
