"Torrejo,"

"Have you contagious about Garcia?"

"Ah, this ball was thrown too unfairly."

Espanyol fans are really crazy watching the team concede the ball like this. undoubtedly this way of conceding the ball is the most devastating.

0:1.

This is an unchangeable fact.

"O'Neal took the lead as he wished, which is very similar to the way they were in the league, and any team was in trouble with them. There are not many teams that can score points in Villa Park this season, only five teams, and not all three points, which may be the reason why they are now ranked sixth in the standings."

Ruby had already stood up in the coaching seat and took off her suit. This was a sign of tension. However, he did not transmit this emotion to the disciples on the field...

Espanyol is behind, and all the players can do is to find ways to equalize the score. Everyone knows what this game means today. This is the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. Any conceding goal means that the team is getting farther and farther away from the semi-finals.

Beep, the whistle sounded, and the game resumed. Tamudo knocked the ball to Take Sanshi, and Take Sanshi immediately distributed the ball to Shunsuke Nakamura. Before Take Sanshi could get the ball again, Shunsuke Nakamura was violated. Villa's players' defense was very fast and they did not allow Espanyol to pass the ball at all. Aston Villa continued their high-pressure press and had no intention of retreating from the defense. This was their attitude.

Shunsuke Nakamura played the set ball, but soon lost the space for attack. Espanyol had to transfer to the positional battle. The ball kept moving outside Aston Villa's penalty area, but the defense in the middle was still too dense, and he could only go to the side in the end. However, crossing from the side was not Espanyol's strength, and he was fighting for a high ball in the penalty area? They would definitely not be able to play Aston Villa.

Leinkell immediately sighed: "From the tactics that Villa team has shown now, it is obvious that O'Neal's level is obviously much better than the Manchester City coach. Manchester City has no choice but to play Espanyol at home, but O'Neal's team is doing very well now!"

The Spaniards' several consecutive attacks ended in vain. Even though they failed to find Tamudo from the cross from the wing, they could only be cleared by the opponent. Wu Sanshi's role was even more unremarkable. You asked Wu Sanshi, who was only 1.7 meters tall, to compete for the header in the penalty area? This is simply impossible.

But Ruby did not recklessly immediately adjusted the formation to his favorite 433 formation. A goal loss is not the end of the world. He needs to play a protracted battle with Aston Villa. After all, the knockout stage is 180 minutes, not 90 minutes. Now is not the time to be crazy. You need to have enough patience to deal with Aston Villa. Ruby has long since changed from a rookie coach to a more experienced coach, especially in the European field.

Aston Villa's counterattack night played very well. In the 27th minute, they almost expanded the score. Barry used long shots again in the middle to intimidate Casilla's goal, but this time Casilla pushed the baseline and gave Aston Villa a corner kick.

Petrov took a corner kick, and Hark failed to resist Karu in the middle. Karu headed the ball but bounced out of the penalty area. Ashley Young shot with the ball!

Duang!

Hit the crossbar.

The crisp impact almost killed the Spanish.

This foot of the door awakened everyone.

"Almost a little bit, Aston Villa expanded the score. If this goal is scored, Espanyol will basically have no choice but to play away."

Shunsuke Nakamura swept the ball out directly in the penalty area. Take Sanshi was quick-witted and stabbed Raulson before, quickly pushed the ball to Moises in front, and Moises was handed over to Callehon.

Wu Sanshi had already come to meet with Callehong. The two of them played in a continuous wall-to-strike cooperation and soon rushed to Aston Villa's backcourt.

The advancement was quite fast, and Villa midfielder Barry knocked down Wu Sanshi as soon as he chased back.

Espanyol got a set ball to the right of the penalty area.

"This position is still OK. The Japanese have a free kick skill, which will be a huge threat if they can play well. The Spaniards urgently need a set piece in the frontcourt, and they have no more ways to do it."

Shunsuke Nakamura stood in front of the ball and observed for a long time. Aston Villa also lined up a wall of 7 people, which was enough to see that they were very afraid of Shunsuke Nakamura's free kick.

It’s a pity that Shunsuke Nakamura fired an anti-aircraft gun, which was very embarrassing to shoot...

Half an hour later, Aston Villa finally slowed down a little, but their defense in the midfield was very tough.

It is still difficult for Espanyol to organize an attack. The most important thing is that Shunsuke Nakamura's role in the midfield has been significantly weakened. His thin body is quite at a disadvantage in the confrontation. As soon as he gets the ball, a player will stick it up, so it is difficult for him to get the ball calmly.

Although Wu Sanshi is very diligent in running, he has few opportunities to get the ball. His partner Tamudu is more like a standing stance, and his range of movement is too small. No matter how tough Aston Villa defender is, he plays at a loss, and Espanyol's offense is seriously hindered.

"O'Neal's team controls the game. It's difficult for Espanyol to create offensive opportunities now, and they have encountered unprecedented situations. This team is not afraid of technical teams, but rather of meeting teams that are stronger than them. Obviously Aston Villa is the latter."

After a brief hibernation for about 10 minutes.

The first half of the game came to an end, but at this time, Aston Villa seemed to be getting awesome again.

In the 40th minute, Ashley Yang passed the ball on the left, and Kalu's shot from the left side of the penalty area was confiscated by Casilla. Then the Spaniard tried to attack from Karehon, but the brave Xiao Lei's crazy frontal kick almost made Karehon doubt the life of football!

He even forgot to chase back and counter-rob.

"Jose!"

Moises roared, but Callejon didn't seem to hear it. Ashley Young got the ball again and he made a cross again. Rukaru at the front point rubbed the ball, and the ball fell to the back point of Espanyol. Cork turned around and volleyed!

The ball hit Casilla's chest directly.

But the ball rolled towards Barry's feet. Barry pushed his left foot gently and the ball flew directly into the lower left corner of the goal.

“gooooooooooal!”

“gooooooooooooooo!”

“goooooooooooooooooooal!”

"Barry! Barry! Gareth Barry! It's Gareth Barry again!"

"Aston Villa expanded the score. 2:0. This time it's stable."

“Aston Villa performed so well.”

"Barry also scored twice, and he should be the best player in this game."

0:2 lagging behind, the Spaniards fell into the worst predicament. Everyone's faces looked quite ugly, including Wu Sanshi.

The reality is cruel, their ideals are beautiful, but they are now facing unprecedented difficulties in Villa Park.

what to do?

No one knows...

Seeing Aston Villa's players celebrating wildly, they could only swallow this bitterness deeply into their stomachs.

After the game resumes, although there is still some time left, the team's combat effectiveness is becoming weaker at this time.

In the last minute of stoppage time, we almost lost the ball again, but fortunately Karu's header went off again.

At the end of the first half, Aston Villa led the Spaniard 2:0.

Ruby was in the locker room.

"We have not lost our confidence in Amsterdam. Do we want to surrender here?"

"shame!"

“Shame is happening to us!”

"We actually let the British ride on our heads and shit, and we were pressed on the lawn like women and rubbed against them. This is what we can enjoy now and what you like."

"Okay, you guys enjoy this feeling!"

Ruby said it very badly, and everyone was blushing.

"No,"

"We are not girls!"

"We should prove that England is the women!"

"We need to score, at least one goal!"

Ruby understands how important it is to score away goals. Even if he loses the game in the end, he will let the team bring back a away goal.

0:2 behind, he can do something. Espanyol did not have the advantage in the first half, but in the second half, he decided to change the formation and return to his favorite 433.

He can only rely on this one.

Since there is no advantage in the midfield, you can only increase the forward and put pressure on the opponent's defense.

But he did not replace Shunsuke Nakamura, and Espanyol's midfield always needed a passer, and they needed to play more concisely.

"The formation has changed. The Espanyol coach has a nickname called the offensive maniac. He likes to play hard when he is behind. His offensive method is very bold. Now he has made adjustments to the formation, and we can clearly see that Callehon on the right has raised it up. He has changed his sincerity to 433, and it seems he is going to fight to the death."

The Espanyol fans were anxious and they began to miss Dela Pena.

"It's still reliable for Little Fo. If he were on the court, Espanyol would never be at such a big disadvantage. At least it is guaranteed in offense. Although we have changed the formation to 433,..."

The fans are still skeptical and have been suppressed in the first half too much.

Aston Villa had the first shot at the beginning of the second half. In the 47th minute, Ashley Young passed the ball and Karu's shot missed the outside.

However, Espanyol then also had an opportunity. Shunsuke Nakamura hung the ball to the frontcourt in the backcourt, and Take Sanshi took the ball on the left side. Suddenly, a oxtail threw out, directly erasing Villa's right-back Lukeyan!

"pretty!"

"Beautiful oxtail!"

It was really surprising that no one expected that Wu Sanshi would use such a beautiful little technique.

Wu Sanshi has never played this move much, but he has obviously had more opportunities than in the first half, so he has made this breakthrough.

After passing Lukeyan, Wu Sanshi immediately dribbled the ball and cut into the middle, and broke to the left side of the penalty area!

Before the fans could recall his coquettish blast, Wu Sanshi had already passed the ball with his right foot outside the instep.

It was the one who passed it to his good partner Karehon.

When Callehon shot, Barry gently hit the ball with his body. With just such a simple interference, Callehon missed the ball...

"Oh, it's really a waste of a beautiful breakthrough and pass..." Leinke shook his head.

Karehon also realized what a good opportunity he had wasted. He ran back while apologizing to Wu Sanshi.

But at this time Wu Sanshi had already rushed towards Lukeyang, and a flying tackled Lukeyang, who had regained the ball, fell to the ground.
