Chapter 1025 Victory(1/2)

When he fell behind one to four, Pellegrini hurriedly made substitution adjustments.

He replaced Aguero with Jovitic.

Argentina, who was replaced, was a little unhappy. He ignored Pellegrini and walked straight to the bench.

The reporters who saw this scene in the media were very excited. They had already figured out the selling points worth hyping after the game.

Ten minutes later, Jovitic was knocked to the ground by Clement. He got up from the ground and pushed Captain Aston Villa, which immediately caused a conflict between the players on both sides.

In the end, the referee Oliver presented a yellow card to Jovitic and called Aston Villa's free kick in the backcourt.

Yes, in Oliver's opinion, Clement's moment just now was a normal tackle and there was no foul.

This aroused the anger of Pellegrini, who roared loudly on the sidelines and said some angry words.

This brought him the referee Oliver.

Oliver pointed in the direction of the stands.

"Manchester City coach Pellegrini was sent to the stands, which is a slight storm for Manchester City."

"Pellegrini seemed to have said some disrespectful words to the referee just now. The fourth official notified the referee through the headset, and the referee Oliver directly sent Pellegrini to the stands."

...

The head coach was sent to the stands, which seemed to stimulate Manchester City's bloodiness.

Manchester City launched a fierce attack on Aston Villa's goal.

If they still have expectations for equalizing the score in one-to-three situations, now in the one-to-four situation, Manchester City players already know that the game is almost a decisive defeat.

After 'recognizing' this reality and result, Manchester City players have been worried about gains and losses, wanting to make a desperate attack, but are worried about continuing to lose the ball. Their current idea is to score goals!

Losing is OK, but not too bad.

To score goals, you have to save some face.

Faced with Manchester City's very fierce offensive this round, Fang Jue immediately made an adjustment, and he replaced Lewandowski with Ngolo Kante.

Aston Villa also changed the team again, with Modric, Clement and Ngolo Kanter in the midfield.

In front are Mane, Sanchez and Valdi.

With such adjustments, Fang Jue's tactical intention is very obvious, which is to strengthen the midfield defense and then Manchester City's counterattack:

On the basis of doing a good job of defense, we use our speed from time to time to tamper Manchester City's defense line.

At the commentator seat, the commentators from various countries and regions couldn't help laughing when they saw such adjustments.

"In today's game, Aston Villa showed Manchester City and the world's teams what a defensive counterattack is." He Wei said.

"Yes, in this game, Aston Villa played the defensive counterattack tactics to the extreme. Sanchez, Valdy, and Mane, the speed of these three players in the counterattack was fully demonstrated." Zhang Lu said.

"Not doing it, Aston Villa's counterattack is very important to efficiency and speed. Their counterattack is very simple and clear. Three passes and two kicks advance to the frontcourt. The players' running position, cover and passes are very direct. Often, before Manchester City's players return to defense, Aston Villa has already entered Manchester City's hinterland!"

"Guide Fang Jue is very cunning, hehe." Zhang Lu said with a smile, "Aston Villa's strength is actually stronger than Manchester City. However, Aston Villa's posture is very low. They let Manchester City attack at home. Aston Villa's defensive counterattack makes Manchester City very uncomfortable. Now, the game seems to have returned to the previous rhythm. When the home team attacks, Aston Villa looks a little passive and embarrassed. But who knows that Aston Villa's next counterattack will come at some point?"

...

Jovitic worked very hard after he came on the court, and he was eager to prove himself!

He dreams of turning the tide and becoming a hero to save the team. Of course, Jovitic also knows that it is difficult to turn the score of 1-4 at the moment, but this is a good opportunity for him. Even if he loses the game in the end, if he can perform well in such an adversity, score goals, or even more than one goal, it is enough to prove his strength and value.

After joining Manchester City last season, Jovitic has been struggling for his performance, and he has played less and less time this season, so he cherishes every opportunity to play.

Jovitic showed his heart and scored goals with his heart.

However, he didn't have many opportunities.

Jovitic glanced at the 'bodyguard' Ngolo Kante beside him.

After coming on as a substitute, Kanter came to defend him.

In Jovitic's view, Kanter was like a piece of candy, following him closely.

Although this black player is not tall, his physical ability to fight is not bad, and it seems that because of his low height, he is very stable in the lower plate and turns quickly.

Jovitic tried to get rid of Ngolo Kante many times after getting the ball.

Whether he was using his speed to make breakthroughs or using his feet to make a breakthrough, he was unable to do anything to Kanter.

Where did this black guy come out?

Although Kanter entered Aston Villa's first team last season, there were actually not many games on the court, and Jovitic did not play against Kanter. This time the two of them met, Jovitic immediately felt quite uncomfortable. This black player was too difficult to deal with.

Kanter is very flexible and has a very accurate positioning.

He always can choose a position well when Yovitic just got the ball or breaks through, or intercepts the opponent's way forward, and is not in a hurry to intercept, but just delay the opponent's attack and stop his breakthrough and the ball route. This is enough.

Don't forget that there is also Sendros. After Aguero came off the court, Aston Villa's defense was adjusted. Fang Jue arranged Sendros to be responsible for Jovitic, and Dzeko handed over to Brazilian player Thiago Silva.

Sendros' strong body came to 'torture' Jovitic.

As for the shortcomings of the Swiss veteran's slow turn, with Kante on the side to help, this is not a problem.

This pair of chain defense partners performed quite well, which made Fang Jue feel a little lit up.

...

On the other side, Thiago Silva also defended Dzeko without any temper.

The Brazilian has strong ability to fight, header, and his feet are not bad. He can turn around, which makes Dzeko very uncomfortable.

This is Manchester City's first offense.

Fernandinho passed the football to Jovitic.

Ngolo Kante immediately went to defend Jovitic.

At this time, Sendros will come up, and the Swiss tough guy will choose to have a tough contact with Jovitic.

This time, when Sendros came up to get in the position, he collided heavily with Jovitic. When Jovitic was not staggering, Kanter directly stabbed the ball away.

And here, Jovitic fell to the ground and made a painful sound.

Manchester City players were very dissatisfied and they complained to the referee that Sendros had a foul on Jovitic.

Referee Oliver made no statement, and he obviously did not think it was a foul.

"Strictly speaking, Sendros can call a foul when he hits Jovitic, but don't forget that this is the Premier League, a fierce physical confrontation. In the Premier League, when Sendros is blocking the position, a tough physical confrontation occurs. The referee usually turns a blind eye, and they don't think it is a foul." He Wei explained to the fans in front of the TV.

...

A few minutes later, Fang Jue made another substitution adjustment and replaced Vardy.

Change to Pogba.

This is to arrange for Sanchez to play double striker with Mane, Modric and Pogba behind the two, and Clement and Kante behind.

Aston Villa has another line of defense in the midfield.

This directly caused Manchester City's offensive ability to be curbed again.

In the 83rd minute of the game, David Silva and Jovitic cooperated. The latter took the ball and turned around and collided with Sendros. The ball under his feet was stabbed by Kante.

Then, Kante was knocked to the ground by Sabaletta.

Aston Villa people think Sabaleta is fouled.

Here, this time Manchester City players complained about Sendros' foul again. They believe that Sendros blocked the route of Yovitic's advance, which was a blocking foul.

The referee Oliver seemed a little hesitant. At this time, Fernandinho came over to question, 'You have always favored the Villas, won't your conscience hurt?'

Oliver was running forward just now, but he didn't see the situation beside him, so he was communicating with the lineman just now.

Perhaps Oliver originally considered the result of Aston Villa's foul.

Now, Fernandinho roared like this, Oliver immediately called for Sabaleta to knock down Kant for a foul, and Aston Villa made a set piece.

This caused strong dissatisfaction and protests from Manchester City.

Fang Jue was watching straight on the sidelines. He saw that Manchester City players were a little anxious, so he just told the players to take some fouls that were not very big or even very hidden. This kind of foul is very harmful, but it is extremely irritating.

In addition, Fang Jue also specifically reminded his players, and he said, "Jovitic may have a bad temper today."

Fang Jue understands the players' ideas very well. Jovitic worked very hard after playing today. This is certainly good for Manchester City, but Jovitic also showed an impatient side. This is where Aston Villa can use it.

Sendros nodded at the time and expressed his understanding. He knew what to do.

...

This time, when Jovitic, who had already been angry, had already seen the referee still not think that Sendros had committed a foul on him, broke out.

"Can you brag?" Jovetic roared at referee Oliver, "He blocked me from moving forward. Isn't this a foul? And just now, this guy hit me several times, and you didn't see it?"

Jovitic played with a strong determination to make contributions and perform, but he did not get any chance to perform. Instead, Sendros' tough defense against him and the referee's successive "favoritism" yowed Jovitic directly broke out in anger.

Faced with such roaring referee behavior, the referee will certainly not be ruthless.

Oliver's face changed. He showed a yellow card to Jovitic who was out of control. This was Jovitic's second yellow card, so the referee then showed Jovitic a red card.

"Red card! Red card! Jovitic, who came on the bench, received the second yellow card, and he was sent off with a red card."

"Oh my God, this is a huge blow to Manchester City. They are not only behind one-to-four now, but also sent off one person. This is really a loss and a loss."
