Chapter 1009: Destroying Curds and Laqiao Monthly Pass)
At the beginning of the game, Casablanca Raja, who was fighting at home, took a defensive counterattack. When their formation was retracted, they were given the ball rights, if it was a positional battle, there were not many troops to attack, which seemed quite cautious.
"We see that Casablanca Raja seems to be planning to hand over the ball, and this is thinking of fighting Aston Villa against the counterattack," said Leinker.
"This is a relatively wise choice. Although Casablanca Raja eliminated Atletico in the semi-finals, their strength is indeed much worse than Aston Villa. Benzati was not overwhelmed by the victory of that game." John Motson said.
After playing for more than ten minutes, Casablanca Raja was completely suppressed in his own half. They couldn't even pass the half. In these ten minutes, Aston Villa had completed three shots. If it weren't for Casablanca Raja's goalkeeper Ascari's outstanding performance and the post help, Casablanca Raja would have conceded at least one goal.
"We played a bit too conservative, Benzati was too conservative." Moroccan local commentator Babacar criticized, "Now, when Aston Villa is pressed to hit the hammer in the penalty area, it will be a matter of time before Raja concedes the ball. The team should be braver and push the formation forward."
"It's not that Benzati is conservative, but that the gap in strength between the two teams is too obvious." Babakar's commentator Ziyech said a fair word to Benzati.
Fang Jue looked at the coaching seat of Casablanca Raja. Since the "host" team is so polite, he will not be polite.
Of course, Fang Jue was not surprised that Casablanca Raja adopted a defensive counterattack tactic in this final, and he was mentally prepared for this.
...
In an subsequent attack by Aston Villa, Ha Mei got the ball from the top of the penalty area. He passed the ball to Ibrahimovic and went down to the bottom by himself.
Ibrasimovic seemed to be trying to pass it to Ha Mei, and he played a wall-to-wave cooperation, but he knocked the ball to Modric with his heel, who directly shot the ball to the left.
"Beautiful! Mane!"
"Breakthrough!"
Aston Villa had to put pressure from the right before, so Casablanka Raja's defense line tilted heavily to this side. At this time, Mane came out from behind Casablanka Raja defender Bin Ramalan, and then cut directly inside, attracting Casablanka Raja defender Karach to grab the upper hand, and then passed the arc top area of the penalty area.
"Ibrasimovic! He shot-"
“Goooooooooooooooooal!”
The defensive player has been pulled open by Aston Villa's series of pulls. When Ibrahimovic received the ball, he only had a defensive player beside him. After the Swedish veteran stopped, he directly shot.
This is a very fast low shot with a kick against the turf.
This shot was not very powerful, but the angle was very tricky. Casablanca Raja goalkeeper Askari was blocked by the people in the penalty area. When he found that the football was sweeping against the turf, it was too late to make another save, so he could only watch the football roll into the net.
"One to zero! Ibrahimovic's goal!"
"Mane assisted Ibrahimovic to score a goal, and Aston Villa led Casablanca Raja 1-0 at Marrakech Stadium."
Fang Jue stood up and clapped his hands, waved his arms vigorously, looking very happy, and then sat down.
It would be difficult for a third-rate team in the African League like Casablanca Raja to arouse his enthusiasm. If it weren't for the fear of being told by the Moroccans that he did not respect the home team, Fang Jue would not even bother to do the superficial skill of getting up and applauding.
...
On the other hand, Casablanca Raja head coach Benzati wiped the sweat on his forehead impatiently. Although he knew that his team was huge and Aston Villa, Benzati also treated the game with an upset thought.
Yes, Benzati had thought of killing Aston Villa upset and winning the Club World Cup.
The semi-finals defeated South American Liberators Cup champion Atletico Minero, which made Benzati's ambition spread like crazy grass.
For a coach like him who coaches on the African continent, it is rare to be able to lead the team to play in the Club World Cup final and perform in front of so many spectators around the world, and it is even the only chance in his life.
Benzati regards this opportunity as a stepping stone for himself and opens the stepping stone for his coaching career in mainland Europe.
If he can lead Casablanca Raja to defeat Aston Villa at the top of the world, Benzati believes that this will win the favor of mainstream European league teams and even some quasi-giant teams, and this is an opportunity to reach the peak of his life.
For today's game, this is a great effort for the head coach of Casablanca Raja. He was sober and rational. The team's strength was too far from Aston Villa. There was only one way to get upset, that is, to play Aston Villa's counterattack, and strive to succeed in sneak attacks without losing the ball. Just steal a ball, and then defend and not lose the ball, you can make a super unpopular football year in the football world!
The idea is good, the reality is cruel.
Casablanca Raja's retreat defense failed in the 16th minute of the game and conceded the ball.
However, Benzati was not discouraged, and winning the game was a surprise.
However, if Casablanca Raja can only lose one goal to Aston Villa and lose only zero-to-one to the powerful Aston Villa in a final, this is also a victory for Casablanca Raja and his Benzati!
Therefore, after the game started, Casablanca Raja, who was behind zero to one, was not in a hurry, nor did he intend to attack, and continued to shrink and defend, wanting to fight Aston Villa's counterattack.
...
Fang Jue was very surprised.
He thought Casablanka Raja would be unable to hold back and attack after losing a goal.
After all, for Casablanca Raja, it is basically impossible to turn the tables after falling behind zero to one. Their defensive tactics are not very meaningful. Since this is the case, it is better to play with Aston Villa seriously and make the game more beautiful.
In Fang Jue's opinion, Casablanca Raja should be satisfied if he can enter the Club World Cup final. Neither the player nor the head coach is under any pressure. He should play very well in this game.
He naturally couldn't imagine that Benzati had such thoughts and expectations for this game.
So, after starting over, seeing Casablanca Raja still playing very conservatively. No, to be precise, he was calm and did not panic because of conceding the ball. He was very rational. This surprised Fang Jue, and he also admired Casablanca Raja head coach Benzati.
This is a very sensible coach with a clear and firm tactical conception.
Fifteen minutes later.
The game ended until the 33rd minute.
Casablanka Raja midfielder Muvatali was forced to make a tactical foul and knocked down Modric.
Aston Villa gets a set piece opportunity in the frontcourt.
Ha Mei took the free kick and flew straight through a wonderful arc. Casablanca Raja goalkeeper Askari made a beautiful save and pushed the ball out of the crossbar with one hand.
Aston Villa gets a corner kick opportunity.
Ha Mei found Thiago Silva near the penalty spot by the corner kick on the right.
Thiago Silva headed the ball and passed it to Sendros, who was ambushing in front and behind the goal.
Sendros headed the ball back to the middle, where Vardy scored a powerful volley from a close range without defending.
...
“Goooooooooooooooooooooooool!”
"Vardi! Vardi! Jamie Vardi! Aston Villa took advantage of the corner kick opportunity to win another goal, 2-0, and they were ahead of Casablanca Raja two goals."
"He led two goals, Aston Villa led Casablanca Raja with two goals in the first half. Although there is still one hour left in the whole game, we can almost say in advance that the high probability of the Club World Cup championship is Aston Villa."
Fang Jue stood up from the coach's seat, and he came to the sidelines to applaud.
This time he wasn't pretending to be a 'blast', he was really satisfied with this goal.
This is also the result of Aston Villa's tactical exercise in corner kicks. The two defenders with good heading skills make the ball for Valdi, who is good at seizing opportunities in front of the goal, and Valdi completes a fatal blow. This corner kick has good technical and tactical results.

Seeing the team conced another goal and falling behind zero to two, Casablanca Raja head coach Benzati sighed long. The cruel reality made him realize how ridiculous it was to lead the team to brush dungeons on Aston Villa. This is not a copy of fame, it is completely hell mode.
Forget it, it's time to come, and zero to two fell behind, and all the ideas were torn to pieces, Benzati let go instead. He made a gesture to the field and pushed out the attacking gesture:
I'm already behind zero to two, so I'm not sure what to do!
How to be happy?
...
Fang Jue sat on the coach's seat and crossed his legs. Since Casablanca Raja wanted to take the lead, he would help them.
He got up and went to the sidelines, shouting the name of the team captain Clement. When the latter saw it, Fang Jue made a gesture.
"Aston Villa took the initiative to slow down the offensive."
"It's not just about slowing down the offensive, Aston Villa is an appropriate retraction formation, and this is to let Casablanca Raja attack."
"The coach Fang Jue is too bad." He Wei said with a smile, "The whole world knows how sharp Aston Villa's quick counterattack is. He is using Casablanca Raja to perform the team's sharp counterattack tactics."
This is Casablanca Raja's attack again. More than half of the people participated in the offense, the largest dark horse team in this Club World Cup.
However, you should know that Aston Villa's defense is very stable. Aston Villa is a team recognized in European football without obvious shortcomings. It has a sharp attack and is also excellent on one end of the defense. Clement is in the midfield and the central defender is Thiago Silva and Sendros. Such a defense can be said to be one of the best in the whole of Europe.
Casablanca Raja was able to defeat South American Liberators Cup champion Atletico Minero 3-1 because South American teams generally do not pay attention to defense, especially when the waves are unprepared.
Now facing the defense of the best European team, Casablanca Rajama has nowhere to speak.
...
Casablanca Raja's ball-handling offensive opportunity.
Their fast offensive player Irachi tried to force Milner, who was not as fast as him, but he had extremely strong fighting ability.
Although he used his speed to pass Milner, Milner immediately regained his robbery and entangled with Irachi.
The other Casablanka Raja players also leaned toward this side, pressing out to respond to Irachi to launch an attack.
At this time, Thiago Silva came out of the penalty area. He stole the ball from Irachi with a clever way, and then quickly sent the ball to Clement.
Clement used his body to block the position, preventing Casablanca Raja player Katibi from grabbing the ball, and then quickly sent the ball to Modric.
"Here! Come! Come! Aston Villa's chance to counterattack!"
Fans who are familiar with Aston Villa's playing style immediately know that this is a good opportunity for Aston Villa to strike back quickly.
Aston Villa fans in the stands at Marrakech Stadium burst into cheers.
Modric received the ball, turned around and completed it in one go, avoiding the snatch of Casablanca Raja player Mutavari, while looking up to observe the situation ahead, and shook his ankle and sent a long-distance pass.
In front, Manesa ran away and he caught up with the football.
...
"Mane - beautiful, entered the penalty area, cross, Ibrahimovic, missed the ball, Vardy - Gooooooooooooooooooooooooool!!"
"Beautiful cooperation! Wonderful counterattack! The ball was scored! In the 39th minute of the game, Aston Villa scored another goal!!! Casablanca Raja, who was two goals behind, pushed out the attack, and then Aston Villa taught the African brother a good lesson and told them what a real quick counterattack is..."
"This ball is so beautiful. It starts from the interception of the ball in the backcourt to Modric's escape, long pass, Mane's high-speed insertion, passing by, crossing, Ibrahimovic's missed ball in the middle, Vardy's shot scored, the entire goal process is very fast and tacit. Aston Villa showed the world a classic counterattack score like a textbook!"
"Three to zero! The first half has not ended, Aston Villa led Casablanca Raja 3 to zero at Marrakech Stadium. Now for Fang Jue and Aston Villa, there is only a matter of time left to win the Club World Cup championship." Although there is still a second half to play, it seems that it is a bit disrespectful to the 'host' team Casablanca Raja, but the audience in front of the TV knows that the commentator is right. Casablanca Raja does not have a chance to turn the table in the second half. Casablanca Raja is not Liverpool, and Aston Villa is not AC Milan. Aston Villa's Club World Cup championship is almost suspense.
