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

Chapter 384: The attraction of the European Super Cup

Chelsea's starting lineup was:
Torres

Hazard, Oscar, Schurrle
Essien, Lampard
Cole, Cahill, David Luiz, Ivanovic
Cech
-

Giroud had a minor injury before and has not fully recovered, but he is also on the substitute list.

The generational change at Chelsea is relatively successful. The only pity is that the abilities of the veteran players in the team are declining and they are no longer as brave as they used to be.

Villa's lineup remains official, with some minor adjustments:
Salah, Lukaku, Bale

Kaka
De Bruyne, Kante, Pogba
Boateng, Van Dijk, Walker

Courtois
-

Salah, who performed well in training, got the chance to start, but not on his favorite right side, but on the left side.

Modric sat on the bench. Chelsea's midfield is relatively strong and Pogba has physical advantages.

Among the three central defenders, the combination of Boateng and Van Dijk remains unchanged, while Azpilicueta and Walker will play depending on the situation of the opposing players.

For example, in this game, Chelsea's Hazard was the offensive core, so Walker came up to limit Hazard.

In the last game, Manchester United's strong side was Valencia on the right, so Azpilicueta was put on the field.

Of course, Rudiger also entered the main rotation lineup. He is a low-end version of Boateng.

Soon, the game begins.

In the first minute, Salah got a chance.

De Bruyne delivered the ball accurately to his feet.

Salah cut inside the box and shot with his right foot.

The football flew straight into the stands.

Outrageous!

Fans from both sides were stunned.

No one expected to see such a clumsy shot in such a high-level game.

Chelsea fans laughed on the spot. Fortunately, Villa snatched away the rookie Salah last year, otherwise this abstract scene would have happened to Chelsea. What a terrible thing that would have been!
Jackson: ???

Zidane touched his bald head and said: "Salah has been practicing shooting with his right foot recently."

Salah is a left-footed player and his left-footed shooting is pretty good.

For one-legged players, having an inferior foot is not a big deal, as they will avoid using it to shoot and pass.

But it’s different for players who are training their weak foot.

Their weak foot has reached a certain level at this time, but its stability is very poor, which may cause a joke.

Salah is currently at this stage.

Southgate smiled: "The fans are calling him the Egyptian Messi."

As one of the top five players in the world, Messi should be regarded as a compliment.

However, since He Tianqi has always been at odds with Barcelona and has had a big fight with Messi fans over the fairness of the FIFA Golden Ball Award, Villa players generally dislike Messi.

Salah is similar to Ribery and Messi. When he doesn't perform well, people call him the Egyptian Messi.

If he performs well, call him the Egyptian Ribery.

In the 11th minute, Walker dribbled the ball forward in the backcourt. He is a full-back and has the ability to advance.

Walker passes the ball to Pogba.

Pogba made a straight pass and accelerated suddenly.

Kaka received the ball in the frontcourt, dribbled past Essien and took a long shot from the top of the arc to try out the feel of his feet.

Unfortunately...the football went straight into the net!
"GOAL! The ball goes in!"

"One to zero! Kaka scores with a long-range shot, a world-class goal!"

"Incredible, this kick was so easy!"

"Essien is indeed not as good as before. The best waist in the world has fallen."

"Essien was loaned to Real Madrid in the second half of last season, but Real Madrid did not buy him out after the season. In the summer, AC Milan was said to want to sign him, but no deal was reached in the end."

"If Essien continues to perform like this, Chelsea may have no choice but to send him to San Siro in the winter transfer window."

"Kaka's kick may have saved his old club several million euros!"

Of course, some fans compared Kaka's shot with Salah's just now.

Salah is simply terrible.

In the 19th minute, Kante intercepted Oscar in the midfield.

Oscar was 1.86 meters tall and was almost killed by Little Black Bean who was 1.68 meters tall.

After he fell to the ground, he tried to call a foul, but the referee ignored him.

"Oscar's body is relatively thin, and his confrontation ability is very poor." He Tianqi whispered, "Although he is taller than Kante, Kante has him beat in this game."

De Bruyne then received the ball and advanced, and he also took a long shot.

Unfortunately, it was a little high.

"Kevin is very smart." Modric nodded, approving of De Bruyne's choice.

Whether you play well or not is a technical issue.

Whether to take a long shot is a tactical issue.

Kaka's long-range shot just now easily scored, which means that Chelsea's defense and goalkeeper have problems in this regard, so De Bruyne also took a long shot while the iron is hot.

Otherwise, once the opponent fixes this bug, long-range shots won’t be that threatening anymore.

Southgate nodded: "He is worthy of being the high-end version of Modric from Belgium!"

Modric: ???
Sure enough, Cech then communicated with his teammates and did not give Villa any easy opportunities to shoot from long range.

In the 28th minute, Lukaku received a pass from Kaka and turned to pass the ball to Bale on the right.

As a result, Cahill suddenly rushed forward to steal the ball.

After locking Lukaku with one leg, he suddenly exerted force, trying to knock Lukaku over and teach him a lesson.

This practice of continuing to confront the opponent after the opponent has passed the ball is like making a warning to the opponent.

It can leave the other party with the impression that you are not someone to be trifled with.

In this way, Lukaku will not dare to pass the ball leisurely near the penalty area in the future, which will affect his fulcrum effect.

but……

Lukaku's toughness exceeded Cahill's expectations.

Their thighs touched.

Likaku remained motionless.

Instead, Cahill, who was hit, felt a sharp pain in his leg and fell to the ground.

Lukaku immediately raised his hands to indicate that he did not do anything.

Cahill was in great pain. Chelsea's team doctor came on the field and finally made a substitution gesture on the sidelines.

"Oh! Cahill is injured! Terry comes on as a substitute."

"This is really a case of losing more than gaining."

"No wonder Villa fans call Lukaku the Belgian Monster. This guy is in really great physical condition."

"Of course, Villa has several players with this kind of physical condition, such as their midfielder Pogba, who is nicknamed the midfield monster!"

In the 35th minute, De Bruyne pulled to the left.

He made a wall pass to Salah and then made a cross from the bottom.

It was not a left-foot cross, but a right-foot cross.

This way the football can be passed closer to the goal, but there is no need to worry about the goalkeeper coming out to pick the ball up.

The disadvantage is that there is only one landing point, which requires very high passing accuracy and tacit understanding of the players' running positions.

Kaka and Terry jumped at the same time from a back position, affecting each other, and neither of them touched the football.

Bale stopped the ball with his chest down at a deeper position, then shot with his left foot.

The football flies toward the goal.

The angle is small.

However, the winner was because the ball soared into the sky, passed over the hands of Neuer who was half-lying on the ground, and headed upwards from the inside of the goal, almost overturning the top of the goal!
"GOAL!"

"Bale! Villa scored again, this time it was Gareth Bale!"

"His shooting boots have been on fire lately!"

"2-0, Villa extends their lead and they are getting closer and closer to their second championship trophy of the season!"

"Chelsea are in trouble, their performance is not as good as Manchester United's previous performance."

"Can't the two Premier League giants stop Villa's legendary journey?"

In the 42nd minute, Chelsea finally showed their fangs.

Essien stole the ball from Pogba and launched a counterattack. Hazard took the ball on the left side of the front court, shook it continuously, and forced Walker and Van Dijk to retreat.

boom!
Hazard passed the ball into the penalty area through a two-man defense.

Torres chased after the football and caught it.

However, just as he touched the ball, Boateng who came over bumped into him.

Torres stumbled.

Van Dijk turned around and defended, cleared the ball with a tackle, and then brought down Torres.

The Holy Child raised his hands to the ground to express his dissatisfaction.

Hazard also immediately found the referee and asked for a penalty.

But the referee saw it clearly.

Boateng's confrontation intensity was within the limits allowed by the rules.

Van Dijk made a beautiful clearance.

Although Torres looked miserable, he was not fouled.

After the referee signaled the game to continue, Chelsea fans started cursing.

Torres' female fans were even more confused about the penalty and said that Chelsea encountered a bad whistle.

But in fact, although Chelsea is not favored by UEFA, He Tianqi and Aston Villa are even less favored than them.

When he was in Italy, he had a confrontation with UEFA.

Real Madrid almost lost the Champions League in three years.

After two years of flourishing, Aston Villa has made a comeback and is aiming for a third consecutive Champions League title this season.

UEFA has already held an internal meeting to discuss this.

We must keep Villa out of the Champions League final this season!
In the 44th minute, Kante passed the ball directly to Kaka in the middle.

Kaka passed the ball back to Pogba next to Kante without stopping.

Pogba passed the ball to the right again.

There was space around Bale, so he pushed forward at high speed while looking at the running positions of his teammates in the penalty area in front of him.

boom!
Bale passed the ball directly into the penalty area.

As a left-back, he still has the awareness of passing the ball forward.

Kaka stretched his foot forward and barely touched the ball.

The football changed its course slightly.

However, Cech has solid basic skills and blocked the ball.

boom!
Lukaku trapped David Luiz behind him and scored with a follow-up shot in front of the goal.

"GOAL! Three to zero!"

"Vera seized almost all of his chances today!"

"The Belgian Red Devil is definitely not a human bomb who can only kill the opponent's central defender. He can also score wonderful goals!"

"Old Villa fans know that Lukaku's special trick is called gravity, which means that as long as he is in the penalty area, the ball will find him more easily!"

"With this score, Chelsea may have to help He Tianqi again today."

"In all the major finals, there were only a few times when the score was 3-0 at halftime and the team was able to turn the tables, but those comebacks were all created by the team led by He Tianqi! Right, AC Milan!"

In the second minute of stoppage time in the first half, Cole made a cross from the left.

Unfortunately, Torres failed to complete his jump under the suppression of Boateng, and the football flew out of the baseline.

The first half ended immediately.

Fifteen minutes later, the two sides changed sides and continued the game.

Chelsea made a midfield adjustment, replacing Essien with Mitchell.

In the 47th minute, Bale fought against Cole on the right.

Bale, once known as the "Welsh Cole", defeated the real person this time, successfully broke through and sent an inverted triangle before the baseline.

Lukaku stopped the ball with his back, but he didn't stop it properly, which was equivalent to passing the ball.

Kaka entered the penalty area and shot.

But the ball flew away due to Lampard's interference.

Tribute to Boateng's defense against Torres in the penalty area.

In the 51st minute, Hazard made another great move on the left, breaking into the penalty area and making a reverse triangle pass.

Little Black Bean Kanter completed the interception before Oscar.

Oscar could only helplessly give Hazard a thumbs up.

He was restricted so badly today.

In the 53rd minute, Pogba passed the ball to Bale, who looked at Kaka who was making a forward run and made a straight pass.

Kaka caught up with the ball on the right side and kicked it.

It seems like a pass or a shot.

Unfortunately, the ball neither scored a goal nor was touched by Lukaku, and it slipped out of the goal.

In the 58th minute, Hazard made a breakthrough on the left again, passed Walker through the crotch and made a horizontal pass.

Van Dijk pressed Torres behind him and cleared the ball.

Azar’s damage is explosive, but all of it is ineffective.

The El Niño no longer has the glory it had during its time at Atletico Madrid and Liverpool.

Zidane looked at the technical analysis and asked: "Should Walker be replaced?"

During this period, Walker can be said to have been beaten by Hazard.

Most of Chelsea's attacks were launched from the left and posed a certain threat.

He Tianqi shook his head: "Although Walker has been criticized, in fact, no one in his team can do better. Cuadrado and Azpilicueta are not as good as Walker in pure defense, confrontation and speed."

"Maguire and Rudiger's turns were a century slower than Walker's. Hazard passed them like a wooden stake."

"Although Hazard was extremely threatening, didn't you realize that he couldn't directly change the score?"

"Walker's speed and ability to tangle with opponents force him to pass the ball after dribbling past the defense, so he can't score a goal through one-on-one play."

"that's enough!"

After saying that, He Tianqi signaled the team to start making substitutions.

Modric replaced Kaka who had been rushing in and out seven times.

Mane replaced Salah, who performed quite mediocrely.

Chelsea are also making substitutions.

Giroud, who had not yet fully recovered, replaced Schurrle, who was invisible throughout the game, and Chelsea changed to a double striker lineup.

Isn’t Villa’s defense bullying Torres as the lone striker?
Now I will give you a big center forward, which will free up Torres and provide Hazard with more assists.

In the 65th minute, Modric, who had been low-key since coming on the pitch, moved to the right and asked for the ball.

De Bruyne immediately instructed Pogba to pass the ball to Modric.

Modric faced the ball, suddenly accelerated, and seemed ready to break through.

But in fact, the moment his left foot touched the football, the football flew out.

Pass with the outside of the foot!
Suddenness is full!
The offensive rhythm instantly reached its limit!

Bale made a forward run and drew Terry's attention away, but the ball was not destined for the front point.

Instead, look for center forward Lukaku.

boom!
Lukaku rushed forward, his speed was much faster than David Luiz, and he had a one-on-one opportunity.

He didn't even need to jump, the football locked onto his head and bounced sharply towards the goal.

Cech was powerless.

"GOAL! Four to zero!"

"Incredible!"

"Ku's gravity reappears! The football found Lukaku's head and bounced itself into the goal!"

"Lukaku scored twice!"

"His first goal was easy enough, but this one was even easier! He didn't have to do anything, Modric did everything!"

Modric: Why does this sound weird?

In a couple's life, Modric is often the one who doesn't have to move.

The overall situation is decided!

He Tianqi then used his last substitution, replacing Pogba with B Silva, allowing him to go up and feel the atmosphere of the finals.
