Chapter 369: Four consecutive FA Cup titles, no more thermos cups

On May 4th, in the 36th round of the Premier League, Villa will challenge Queens Park Rangers away.

Young player Kane came off the bench and scored the only goal of the game, helping the team continue to lead.

On May 7th, Villa played the 29th round of the Premier League.

Manchester United also played a make-up match on this day.

Both sides won the game, and Villa continued to lead Manchester United with a goal difference advantage and ranked first in the Premier League.

May 11, Wembley Stadium.

Eighty-seven thousand fans are eagerly waiting to witness this year's FA Cup final.

The two teams facing each other are Villa and Manchester City.

This is not the first time the two sides have met in a cup final in recent years.

As last year's Premier League champion, Manchester City has clearly fallen behind this year.

The FA Cup is their only chance to save face.

Aston Villa has won the championship for the past three consecutive years.

They will challenge for a fourth consecutive title this year.

This is also the fourth time in He Tianqi's career that he has challenged for four consecutive championships in a certain award.

Previously, he had won four consecutive titles in the Italian Cup, the Champions League and the English League Cup.

Considering his five consecutive Champions League titles (three plus two), which were won with two different teams, the Carabao Cup is not the most important cup competition in England.

Therefore, the four consecutive FA Cup titles can be said to be He Tianqi's second attempt to monopolize an important award.

In this game, Manchester City's starting lineup is:
Aguero

David Silva, Tevez, Nasri
Yaya Toure, Barry

Clichy, Nastasic, Kompany, Zabaleta

Joe Hart

-

They are all elite players in the Premier League.

Among them, Nastasic is from Palermo in Serie A. He is a player from the He team and is known as the "new Vidic".

In 2011, Palermo bought him for 2013 million euros, and in , he was sold to Manchester City for million euros.

As of now, his value has risen to 30 million euros.

It illustrates what it means that "products from Palermo must be top quality".

Villa's lineup is:

Albrighton, Lukaku, Bale

De Bruyne, Kante, Kaka

Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Van Dijk, Walker

Courtois
-

Since both teams are familiar with each other, the game goes straight to the point.

After only five minutes of probing, the two sides began to fight with bayonets.

In the sixth minute, Kompany made a long pass, Aguero made a forward run to score, and made a diagonal pass without stopping, creating a killing opportunity!
Tevez shot from the back post.

Courtois left the goal and rushed out, eventually knocking the ball away in advance, and then collided with Tevez.

Fortunately, both parties took protective actions and no one was injured.

In the ninth minute, Lukaku received a pass from Kaka, stopped the ball with his chest and passed it to Bale.

The football hit Nastasic's arm.

As the opponent was outside the penalty area, Villa got a free kick.

Then Bale's free kick went directly over the crossbar.

In the eleventh minute, De Bruyne dribbled sideways and made a straight pass.

Albrighton on the left received the ball and then made a cross after a feint.

Joe Hart was well prepared and took the ball off without slipping.

In the 13th minute, Villa launched consecutive attacks.

De Bruyne made a cross.

Kaka came in from behind and headed the ball, but his power was not strong enough and the ball went off target.

In the 17th minute, Nasri dribbled the ball and Kante kept sticking to him to defend, and the two sides then started a fierce fight.

Nasri was very good at passing the ball and successfully got past Kante.

But Kante made a predictive tackle with his back, knocking the ball out of the sideline.

"Kante has grown so much in recent years. I remember when he first faced Nasri, he couldn't stop the dribbler at all."

"Yes, Nasri's greatest strength is that he rarely loses the ball, while Kante's greatest strength is that he can regain the ball."

"I didn't realize it before when Thiago Motta was there, but now that Kante is in charge, I realize that his intercepting ability as a defensive midfielder is simply top-notch!"

"Kante is very biased in his studies. It's too early to say that he has entered the ranks of the world's top defensive midfielders, but I think he is already a top-notch player in the field of pure defensive midfielder!"

"It's said that it's hard to find a midfielder, especially a defensive midfielder, but He Tianqi's team never seems to lack players in this position."

"This may be one of the secrets of He Tianqi's tactics!"

Little black beans are being seen by more and more people.

In the 22nd minute, Aguero carried the ball in the frontcourt and tried to break into the penalty area.

As a result, Rudiger completed a head-on steal.

After receiving the ball, Van Dijk also launched a counterattack with a long pass, and his footwork was no less than that of Kompany on the opposite side.

Albrighton raced with the ball down the left.

As Villa's weakest winger, he is actually a top-notch pacer in the entire Premier League and his ability has always been underestimated.

boom!
Albrighton made a reverse triangle pass.

Lukaku faked a shot at the top of the arc and passed the ball to the right side of the penalty area.

Bale received the ball, faked a shot with his right foot, then knocked the ball and turned around, shaking Nastasic off.

"This is... a Cruyff turn!"

boom!
Bale fired a shot with his left foot.

The football went straight into the net.

"GOAL! One to zero! Bale breaks the deadlock!"

"The Great Sage Equaling Heaven, crush Ling Xiao to pieces!"

"This kick destroyed Manchester City!"

Villa fans cheered instantly.

"Bell is so strong! His feet are really hard!"

"He has a big heart. The more important the competition, the better Bale performs!"

"Bale has scored over 50 goals in all competitions this season!"

"His playing style is also very sharp and very popular. His fans on social media platforms have increased by 30 million this year!"

"Does Bale feel like he can win the Ballon d'Or next year?"

"It's terrible! Villa is really full of potential superstars!"

"Aston Villa should just change its name, this is simply a Ballon d'Or training class!"

Bale kicked off this summer for Villa.

Manchester City began to fight back desperately.

In the 24th minute, Silva hit the wall and Toure and took a long shot, but unfortunately the ball went slightly wide.

In the 25th minute, Clichy also made a long shot, and Courtois directly hugged the ball.

In the 29th minute, Villa counterattacked.

Kompany blocked his position in the penalty area in advance and fouled Lukaku from behind, and was seriously warned by the referee.

The two are actually teammates in the national team. Lukaku is Kompany's junior, but he doesn't care about the old friendship at all when playing for the club.

In the 32nd minute, Villa launched another counterattack. Azpilicueta's cross from the side was too close to the goal and was directly saved by Hart.

From here on, Villa seemed to be back in control.

Manchester City made a strong start, but then declined and was about to run out of steam.

As a result, in the 36th minute, Azpilicueta's heel was stepped on during a fight with Zabaleta and he fell to the ground on the spot.

After examination, Villa's team doctor said the player could not continue.

He Tianqi could only replace Azpilicueta with Cuadrado.

In the 41st minute, Kaka made a fatal pass through the middle.

Unfortunately, Kompany cleared the ball before Bale.

This was a world-class clearance.

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

Van Dijk made another long pass near the center circle.

Lukaku moves forward quickly.

Kompany and Nastasic were half a step slower, but when the two of them surrounded him, Lukaku was on both sides.

At the critical moment, Lukaku withstood the pressure, opened his left and right hands, and pressed down two people.

Just like the hen in the game of eagle catching chicks, she was pressing down on her chicks. Bang!
Lukaku fired a low left-foot shot into the goal.

Hart tried hard to save the ball but failed to touch it.

"GOAL! Two to zero!"

"Lukaku scored a Drogba-style goal!"

"His mobility is incredible for a big man."

"He has performed very well this season as Villa's starting centre-forward and has established himself as one of the top centre-forwards."

In the camera, Mr. Lu turned around and hugged Kompany to celebrate.

Kompany looked confused and then pushed Lukaku away.

Is this a high level taunt?
Lukaku then realized that he was not in the national team, and apologized repeatedly.

But his smile doesn't make people feel that he is unintentional at all.

This led to a conflict between players from both sides.

Finally, the referee showed Lukaku a yellow card.

Southgate nodded frequently in the audience: "What a clever provocation! Wouldn't this make Kompany and the others lose their minds?"

He Tianqi was speechless, because this was obviously not Lukaku's strategy, but just a normal performance of his "brainless" behavior.

"Is this your friend?" He Tianqi pointed at Southgate.

Zidane took a step back and distanced himself from Southgate: "I don't know him."

……

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

In the 51st minute, Lukaku jumped high in the frontcourt and tried his best to compete for the header.

As a result, Nastasic did not jump up, but stood in place, destroying Lukaku's center of gravity, causing Lukaku to fall to the ground.

The referee immediately showed Nastasic a yellow card.

But Lukaku was overjoyed and suffered some minor injuries.

In accordance with He Tianqi's principle of never using injured players, the team decisively replaced Lukaku, the goal scorer, with Lewandowski.

Although Lukaku said he could still play and was a little unhappy about being substituted, he still consciously high-fived He Tianqi.

He didn't dare try to challenge He Tianqi's authority on the court.

This is a free kick in the middle with a good position.

De Bruyne and Bale are on the left and right.

De Bruyne stood farther away and looked more like a penalty taker.

But Bale, who was very close, took the initiative and shot a free kick with his left foot.

The football didn't fly completely, so it shouldn't have been able to get over the human wall.

However, Bale himself had no intention of jumping over the human wall.

The kick flew directly through the gap on the right side of the human wall.

Joe Hart was unable to react to this doubly confusing free kick.

"GOAL! Three to zero!"

"Bale scored directly from a free kick and completed his brace!"

"In this free kick, Villa's Kaka and Rudiger played a crucial role. They successfully broke down the wall and made room for the ball to pass through."

"He Tianqi's research on free kicks is simply perfect. Any team playing against them cannot give them too many free kick opportunities."

“This will narrow the opponent’s tactical options to a certain extent.”

At 3-0, it is unlikely that Manchester City can make a comeback.

In the 54th minute, Aguero received the ball, turned around and shot, but was saved by Courtois.

In the 57th minute, Aguero fouled Rudiger outside the penalty area and Rudiger was given a yellow card.

In the 61st minute, Villa counterattacked.

Bale dribbled at high speed on the right side, broke into the penalty area and made an inverted triangle pass.

Lewandowski made a quick shot.

Unfortunately, the ball hit Kompany's outstretched leg and was blocked out of the baseline.

Lewand held his head.

The camera then turned to Lukaku, meaning that if Lukaku was still on the field, the ball would definitely have gone in.

There has always been controversy over who is Villa's real center forward between Lukaku and Lewandowski.

Some teams also hope to take advantage of this contradiction to poach one of the players in order to achieve the dual goals of strengthening themselves and weakening their opponents.

In this regard, He Tianqi accepted everyone who came.

As long as you are willing to pay a high price, in theory, there is nothing that Villa is not for sale.

If you can really pay 200 million, it is not impossible to take De Bruyne away.

De Bruyne: ???
He Tianqi: It's just a harsh remark, don't take it seriously.

In the 64th minute, Manchester City could no longer sit still and started making substitutions.

Milner replaced Barry and Dzeko replaced Tevez.

With a big center forward, long passes and lobs become more effective, as this is the quickest way to score a goal.

In the 65th minute, Silva made a cross from the side, and Dzeko's header was saved by Courtois.

In the 69th minute, Kaka dribbled the ball forward on the right rib, passed it to the retreating Lewandowski, and then ran into the penalty area.

With the help of Kaka's pull, Lewandowski turned around and kicked a long shot.

Hart saved the ball, or rather, dropped it.

Albrighton ran over to take the shot but was blocked by Kompany.

Hart took the opportunity to hug the football and avoid a mistake.

In the 72nd minute, Milner made a run in from the back post and his world-class shot hit the post and bounced out, but his luck was a little bad.

In the 73rd minute, Bale was brought down by Toure when he broke through.

Toure gets a yellow card.

Taking the score into consideration and other reasons, He Tianqi replaced Bale with Salah to prevent Bale from getting injured.

This substitution liberated Manchester City's left side to a certain extent.

In the 77th minute, Manchester City advanced on the left and Clichy made a cross.

Dzeko and Van Dijk fought fiercely for the ball.

The ball finally bounced to Aguero's feet.

Aguero kicked the ball instinctively and scored with a low shot.

"GOAL! One to three! Manchester City still has a chance!"

"Aguero is worthy of being one of the strongest strikers in the Premier League in the past two years. His performance is amazing!"

In the 82nd minute, Toure advanced into the penalty area and shot the ball but missed.

This former world No. 1 midfielder turns 30 this year, but he is still in good shape.

He may even be able to put on a godly performance of 24 goals and 12 assists in all competitions next season.

However, his goal-scoring touch has been a little worse this season.

In the 86th minute, Salah dribbled past the opponent on the right and shot low.

The football was held by Hart.

In the 87th minute, Aguero and Dzeko both scored.

Aguero holds the ball.

After the two posed a threat, Aguero passed the ball diagonally to Nasri on the right.

This is a great opportunity to score.

As a result, Nasri stopped big.

Courtois took the opportunity to attack, and when Nasri shot, all he could see was Courtois.

The football was blocked out of the baseline.

In the 93rd minute, the game had lost its meaning.

But Walker sent a good through ball from the right.

Kaka received the ball before dribbling down the field and making a horizontal pass.

Lewandowski scored a goal by shooting into the empty net from the middle of the small penalty area.

Four to one!

Aston Villa won the third championship trophy of the season after the Club World Cup and the League Cup!

"Okay, the game is over."

"Congratulations to Aston Villa, they set a new historical record and became the FA Cup champions for four consecutive years!"

"The camera was on the Manchester City players, they were very frustrated because it was a season without any of the four major titles for them."

"But there is one person who is even sadder than the Manchester City players, and that is Wenger."

"Because from now on, the FA Cup can no longer be called a thermos cup! He hasn't won this honor for a long time!"

Wenger: WTF!
