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

Chapter 258: From Both Wings Flying to Both Wings Being Destroyed
"Abanglaho continues to occupy the Golden Boot position in the FA Cup scorer list with seven goals!"

"This is a very beautiful counterattack! This goal comes from Kante's interception of Lennon!"

"Oh! Kanter opened his jersey and the T-shirt underneath said '100th Steal'!"

"Oh my god! Is this kid so efficient at stealing?"

"Really, this is Kanter's 100th steal in all games this season!"

"This is an amazing statistic! He is by far the best tackler in the Championship!"

"He is not as bad as netizens think! Although he doesn't look very good and his physique doesn't look like a defensive stalwart."

The camera was turned to Kante, and Kante's little face was flushed, but fortunately his dark skin was enough to cover all colors.

This T-shirt was prepared for him by He Tianqi, who "ordered" him to wear it.

Kanter was ashamed at first.

But now, listening to the cheers of the few Villa fans and the boos of countless Tottenham fans, he suddenly felt that this T-shirt seemed not bad.

In the 19th minute, Villa launched an active attack.

Bale made a run-in and received the ball from De Bruyne before making a cross.

The 1.92-meter-tall Joel Luca overpowered Dong Fangzhuo to clear the ball.

In head-on confrontations, especially air battles, Tottenham are not afraid of anyone.

This is also a reflection of the fact that ground speed flow and height air combat flow cannot be combined.

In the future, even if a player as strong as Haaland is fast and tall, he still cannot be good at both playing styles at the same time.

However, this attack gave Tottenham a wake-up call.

Their right side had actually been broken down by Villa's left side.

Bale + Kante completely froze Lennon.

Lennon, who did not participate in the offense, also played no role on the defensive end.

Tottenham began to shift the focus of attack and started to use Defoe on the left.

In terms of physical condition, Defoe, who is 1.7 meters tall, is much stronger than Lennon and he can play as a center forward.

In terms of strength, Defoe is also stronger.

In the 20th minute, Defoe challenged Walker on the left. Walker rashly rushed to his body, but Defoe blocked the first attack, thus completing the breakthrough and sending a horizontal pass.

Unfortunately, Crouch in the middle was not prepared, and in his haste, he kicked the ball into the stands.

This is why players with long legs are not as good as shorter players in taking shots.

The distance from the ball to the supporting foot required for their shot is longer than that of smaller players.

Therefore, it is understandable that players like Heskey, Lukaku and Giroud rush to shoot.

But Sterling and Jesus are really bad at shooting because they always miss the ball.

In the 27th minute, Kranjcar passed the ball to the left.

Danny Rose made a through pass after running in from the flank.

Defoe made a run to the left flank, caught up with the ball and made a zero-angle shot.

There is no way this shot will go in.

This is also the problem of this young Tottenham team, they take things for granted.

Although this may lead to many great goals, sometimes your opponents don't give you many chances.

If you squander it, it will be gone.

However, in the 29th minute, the situation suddenly changed.

Schmeichel, who is usually steady, made a mistake when clearing the ball. His foot slipped and not only fell down, but he also kicked the ball directly to Kranjcar.

Kranjcar quickly lifted the door.

Bonucci tried his best but still couldn't catch up.

The football went into the goal.

"GOAL! Schmeichel gave a big gift!"

"Kranjcar equalized the score with a lob shot!"

"This is the bonus brought by Tottenham's fierce attack, which can put more pressure on the opponent's defense, thereby increasing their chances of making mistakes!"

After this goal, Kranjcar celebrated wildly and kept looking at He Tianqi.

It feels like "pick me, pick me".

If he can play as the core midfielder in He Tianqi's team, Kranjcar may not replace Modric's position in the Croatian national team, but at least he can occupy a starting seat.

This will also help clear up the injustice done to my father.

In 2006, the head coach of Croatia was Kranjcar's father, and the elder Kranjcar brought two young midfielders.

One was Modric, the core of Palermo who had won the Ballon d'Or and was in the top 20 or even top 10 of the FIFA World Player of the Year many times at that time, and the other was his unknown son Niko Kranjcar.

The latter sparked heated discussions at the time, and Kranjcar was dismissed due to controversy after the World Cup.

If Kranjcar Jr. can be spotted by He Tianqi and become a superstar, then his father can be vindicated.

"Why is that guy always looking at us? Is it a big deal to score a goal? Why is he so provocative?" Young Inzaghi glared back at Kranjcar, not knowing what was going on.

……

In the 31st minute, Motta and De Bruyne organized the pass together, helping the team slowly press across the half court.

De Bruyne made a lob pass from the right to the left.

Dong Fangzhuo headed the ball from the back post, but was still affected by Woodgate and failed to exert enough force, so the ball was confiscated by the goalkeeper.

Without a big center, there is still no advantage in high-altitude balls.

In the 33rd minute, Defoe broke through from the wing.

This time Walker successfully stole the ball and regained the ball.

Milner came over and took the ball away. After looking at the running position of his teammates in front, he made a long pass to Abanglaho.

Abanglaho stopped and passed the ball.

Joel Luka made a decisive foul.

The referee showed Joel Luca a yellow card.

His decisiveness was correct. If he had waited until Abanglao had completely passed the ball and then committed a foul, it would have been a red card.

De Bruyne took a free kick and sent the ball into the penalty area.

Pavlyuchenko cleared the ball with a header.

In the 39th minute, Defoe still insisted on challenging Walker.

It’s not that he is stubborn, but that’s how Tottenham’s tactics are arranged.

But Milner and Walker surrounded Defoe and completed the steal.

Walker dribbled the ball a few steps forward and passed it directly to De Bruyne who was making a run forward on the right.

De Bruyne made a half-high cross without stopping the ball.

It was a clever move that satisfied the creative desires of the midfielders, but it made it difficult for the forwards to shoot.

boom!
Abanglao made a quick shot and knocked the ball away, paying tribute to Crouch.

Sterling: Now you know why I missed the shot?
I'm afraid only a few super shooters like Shevchenko, Van Nistelrooy, Ronaldo and Lewandowski can handle this kind of ball.

In the 43rd minute, Tottenham Hotspur also found that both flanks were blocked.

Head coach Redknapp on the sidelines looked helpless again.

Kranjcar could only act on his own initiative and launch an attack from the middle, after all, Villa's middle seemed to be defensively empty.

boom!
A straight kick.

Hit the area that Motta can't cover.

Very well transmitted.

But... Tottenham's two center forwards are the complete opposite of the wingers, and they have almost no speed impact.

The ball entered the penalty area, but where is the person?
Bonucci turned and rushed towards the ball, trapping Crouch behind him.

Schmeichel Jr. attacked, kicked the ball with a big kick, and launched a counterattack directly.

This time there were no mistakes.

Dong Fangzhuo received the ball near the center circle, and Tottenham's defense took the time to retreat.

boom!
Dong Fangzhuo passed the ball diagonally to Abanglaho.

Abanglaho dribbled the ball and advanced at high speed.

Woodgate tried to drive Abanglaho out of the middle. Abanglaho took the opportunity to move to the right, pulled Woodgate over, and then passed the ball back with his heel.

De Bruyne made a run and the shooting angle in front of him was incredibly good, with the gap between Jorluka and Woodgate being as wide as the entire goal.

It means there is no one defending.

boom!
De Bruyne kicks the ball.

Joel Luca fell to the ground and made a flying tackle, expanding his defensive range horizontally to cover half of the goal.

This was an extreme defensive move...if De Bruyne had chosen to shoot directly.

"The shot... it's not a shot! It's a pass!"

"De Bruyne is careful with the ball and makes a lob pass to the back post!"

“Dong Fangzhuo, who was abandoned by Joel Luca, is here, and he is unguarded!”

"Volley! Dong Fangzhuo is very confident in his shooting skills!"

"GOAL! The ball goes in!"

"Two to one! Dong Bruyne connected and helped the team take the lead again!"

When Joel Luca turned around and saw the football enter the goal, he chose to lie down in despair.

Outrageous!

Does De Bruyne really know how to play football?

At this moment, the English midfielder will definitely choose to shoot himself. You are considered a well-known midfielder, but you are actually making things easier for others?
The Tottenham coach was furious on the sidelines, asking who asked Kranjcar to attack from the middle?

Once the ball is passed through the middle, it is often fatal.

Even if the team loses the ball on the wing, they still have time to make up for it.

Don’t you understand this principle?
So after the kick-off, Tottenham tried to pass the ball to the wingers, or to be more precise, to Lennon.

But Kante seemed to have predicted this, and he ran ahead and successfully intercepted the ball halfway.

Villa then made a series of passes to resolve Tottenham's press and once again pushed across the half court.

As the first half of the game was about to end, Villa was not in a hurry.

It was not until Bell came up that the final attack was truly launched.

After receiving the ball on the left, Bale pulled the opponent's full-back Fredericks over and then passed it back to De Bruyne.

De Bruyne passed the ball quickly to Dong Fangzhuo without stopping.

Dong Fangzhuo leaned against Woodgate and passed the ball directly to Bale who cut in.

Bale made a back pass with his left foot to Abanglaho near the penalty spot.

Abanglaho's heel is straight.

Milner came up from the right and took a long shot.

Danny Rose flew up and raised his leg to block the ball, which flew to the outside of the arc.

Motta volleyed the ball.

Joel Luca fought bravely and used his body to block the heavy artillery.

Then he fell to the ground.

The football bounced aside.

De Bruyne fired another powerful shot towards the ball.

The football flew over the crowd and went straight into the net!
"GOAL! De Bruyne! A world-class shot extends the lead!"

"This attack is so beautiful!"

"Before this season, Villa would never have had such a smooth offensive coordination!"

"Wave after wave of attacks were like waves. Although Tottenham's defense was good enough, they were still not immune!"

"This goal is not my fault!"

The camera turns to Joel Luca who is lying on the ground.

You really can't blame him for this goal.

Motta's long-range shot was so powerful that the team doctor had to be dispatched.

Then the first half of the game ended.

Villa temporarily leads Tottenham 3-1.

The atmosphere at White Hart Lane was completely different from before the game.

Tottenham fans obviously didn't expect Villa to be so tricky.

At the beginning, when Birmingham and Everton lost to Villa, Tottenham laughed. A Premier League team lost to the Championship?

No shame!
Later, when Arsenal and Liverpool lost, Tottenham didn't care at all. Young players played in the first few rounds of the Carabao Cup and FA Cup, so winning or losing didn't matter.

Later, when Blackburn, Manchester United and Manchester City lost, Tottenham laughed and said, "You can't even beat Villa, why don't you let me be the first in the league? We will definitely not lose to such a team!"
result……

Of course, this isn't the most devastating thing.

The most frustrating thing was that after the half-time break, all media outlets were reporting that Aston Villa’s midfielder had opened champagne!
Ridiculous!

This makes Tottenham angry!

……

At the beginning of the second half, Tottenham launched a surprise attack.

Lennon dribbled the ball through, attracted firepower and then made a through pass.

Fredericks made a cross pass.

Walker attempted an interception but failed.

Crouch and Bonucci competed for the ball with great intensity.

Crouch touched the ball but was unable to make a shot, only slightly changing the path of the ball.

Pavlyuchenko rushed towards the ball for a follow-up shot, but was a beat too slow and was cleared by Clark.

If it was Maldini who took the ball, this goal would probably have been lost.

After this threat, Villa's defense contracted.

This was also He Tianqi's arrangement, letting Tottenham make a charge first and consume some energy.

The team is taking it easy and waiting to see what happens.

In the 59th minute, the opportunity came.

Crouch retreated to receive the ball and passed it to Fredericks who was on the wing.

When Tottenham use their full-backs to attack, it means they are fighting for their lives. This tactic of flying solo on both wings was first made famous by He Tianqi in Italy.

However, this attack is also risky.

Kante successfully intercepted Crouch's pass and passed it to Bale who was running in.

Villa switched from defense to offense.

Dong Fangzhuo moved to the left, Bale made a straight pass, and at the same time he cut inside without the ball, tying down Tottenham's defense and using his body to block the opponent's player's retreat route.

Buy more time for the frontcourt.

After receiving the ball, Dong Fangzhuo turned his back to the goal and blocked the oncoming Woodgate.

Pass back to De Bruyne.

De Bruyne made a diagonal pass to the right.

The pass was quite deep, but the Tottenham goalkeeper didn't dare to attack because he was not sure whether De Bruyne was passing the ball or shooting.

If De Bruyne chooses to shoot and he attacks, it would be equivalent to giving up on saving the shot.

The reason why De Bruyne passed the ball so deep was because... Abanglaho, who was behind Jorluka, had enough time to speed up and eat Jorluka alive.

Joel Luca looked towards the left side where the ball was coming from, and didn't notice the blind spot on the right side at all.

Abanglaho, who was behind, ran to the position first, blocked the ball with his foot, and made a shot.

The Tottenham goalkeeper was unable to save this long shot.

The football rolled into the goal.

"GOAL! Four to one!"

"Abang Laho scored twice! Eight goals in four games, his efficiency in the FA Cup is terrifying!"

"Jorluka didn't notice this at all. He thought Abanglaho was still far away, but he forgot that Abanglaho is the fastest player in Pro Evolution Soccer!"

"Tottenham is in trouble today! When their strongest wingers were restricted, they lacked more effective means of scoring goals and also exposed their own goal to the opponent's players!"
