The camera gave Roberto Mancini on the home team's coaching bench.

Mancini succeeded in the fired Mark Hughes as Manchester City head coach in December last year.

At that time, after the 17th round of the league, Manchester City scored 25 points and ranked eighth in the league.

10 points behind the fourth place in the league at the time Aston Villa.

Now, the nineteenth round of the league has passed.

Manchester City ranked sixth in the league, 6 points behind fourth place Arsenal.

In terms of ranking and points increase, Mancini's Manchester City has made progress.

However, six points behind Arsenal and with two rounds of games left in the league, Manchester City has almost certainly missed the Champions League given the disadvantage of goal difference.

What's more, Manchester City was 10 points behind Aston Villa at that time, and now they are 1 point behind the leader Aston Villa.

This is a bit embarrassing.

The media also began to have criticism of Mancini.

Mancini was unhappy about this.

He believes that this is why Mark Hughes dug too deep.

Manchester City's most realistic goal now is to surpass Tottenham Hotspur, win fifth place in the league, and qualify for the UEFA Cup next season.

Now Manchester City is three-pointer behind Tottenham Hotspur, so Manchester City must win this game.

In addition, if Aston Villa can be blocked from winning the championship, Mancini will be much happier.

Mancini has a certain degree of confidence in winning Aston Villa.

In the last round of Aston Villa's match against Birmingham, it was difficult for Aston Villa to win.

Previously, he was tied by Portsmouth.

This is a tired teacher.

Mancini saw the opportunity.

But when the game started, Mancini's expression became more and more serious.

Although the score on the court is still zero to zero, Manchester City did not concede the goal.

However, Manchester City played very passively.

The situation on the field was completely controlled by Aston Villa.

Especially in the midfield, when Clement and Sidwell joined forces to strangle, Manchester City could hardly make a decent attack.

Gareth Bale on the left of Manchester City and Deisler on the right frequently hit Manchester City's wings.

On the front line, Diego Costa and Ronaldo kept getting shots.

If Manchester City goalkeeper Ji Wen hadn't been in excellent form today, he would have conceded the ball long ago.

After gaining an active advantage for a long time.

Aston Villa took the lead in the 35th minute!

"Diego Costa! Diego Costa!! Powerful header!!" John Motterson shouted loudly.

This is Gareth Bale's diagonal pass from the left and the right. Desler then inserted it and passed it back near the bottom line. Milner, who followed up, hurled the football into the penalty area.

Diego Costa squeezed Richards away.

He jumped high and hit Milner's cross.

Because the distance is too close, Manchester City's excellent goalkeeper Ji Wen has no choice but to watch the football enter the goal!

Chinese fans in the bar burst into cheers.

The fans of Aston Villa around were even more excited.

Some Aston Villa fans shouted Fang Jue's name loudly.

Finally, I don’t know who called ‘China’ first, ‘China’.

Finally, the bar was filled with cheers from "China" and "China".

This made these Chinese people very excited, and it felt so good!

"Aston Villa took a 1-0 lead in the away game!"

"Aston Villa is getting closer and closer to the championship, and Manchester City is suffering a major blow in the road to the UEFA Cup," said Leinker.

Now, Premier League coaches are very clear that Aston Villa cannot lead early in scoring.

Facing this team that is good at counterattacking, once Aston Villa leads, it will be very dangerous.

Mancini sat on the coaching seat and shook her head in distress.

Although the media has repeatedly said how much money the local Manchester City spent in the transfer market last year, introducing top players like Adebayor, Tevez, and powerful players like Gareth Barry are so powerful.

However, Mancini was not satisfied.

As a Serie A coach, he is particularly fond of defense.

In Mancini's opinion, Manchester City's midfield and backcourt really cannot satisfy him.

This can be seen from this concealment. Aston Villa's horizontal transfer broke through Manchester City's defense in just a few passes.

He found himself outrageously wrong and placed his hope of winning on Aston Villa's fatigue, which in itself was a weak mentality.

After losing this goal, Mancini relaxed.

This season is like this. Next season, to be precise, the summer transfer market, the team's Arabian financial backer's father has promised to spend a huge transfer fund of 150 million pounds.

At that time, Mancini was shocked by the amount of the transfer budget.

He really felt the joy of being the Manchester City head coach.

Humph, next season, let everyone feel the power of Jinyuan football!

In the first half, Aston Villa, who was away, took a 1-0 lead with Diego Costa's goal, and then both sides entered the intermission.

Fang Jue smiled and praised the team's performance, but he said that this was not enough.

"One goal lead is not insurance."

"Our goal in the second half is to score goals, score as early as possible and expand the lead."

"It feels right ahead, we can't relax at all!"

Fang Jue didn't say much.

He knew that it was time to stop, and he could not make these guys too proud or put too much pressure on them.

Although Mancini's own mentality has been relaxed, he knows that this indifferent mentality cannot be shown to the players.

He can't tell the players that he doesn't like the Europa League, and it doesn't matter whether he or she qualifies for the Europa League or not.

Mancini encouraged the players to work hard in the second half to equalize the score as soon as possible, or even turn the tables.

“Aston Villa is competing for the championship.”

"Young men, use your feet to tell the Vera people that this road is not open!"

"Now, our opponents are under great pressure. As long as we equalize the score as soon as possible, their morale and fighting spirit will be affected."

After the second half of the game began, Manchester City showed a relatively tenacious fighting will.

Manchester City once threatened Aston Villa's goal.

At this moment, Ronaldo was violated in the frontcourt and Manchester City got a free kick.

Deisler took the direct free kick and went straight to the upper left corner of the goal and entered the net, rewriting the score to 2-0.

In the visiting stands at Etihad Stadium, in the Birmingham bar, Aston Villa fans burst out with huge energy.

Two to zero!

This goal tilts the victory balance even more towards Aston Villa's side.

Mancini sighed. His tactical deployment and his blood injected chickens were meaningless after conceding the ball.

Mancini began to make substitution adjustments, and Bellamy replaced Tevez, who performed well today.

Sabaretta replaced Richards.

Fang Jue also made a substitution adjustment.

Quaresma came on as a substitute and replaced Deisler, who performed well.

Petrov came on as a substitute and replaced Sidwell.

After leading 2-0, Aston Villa's offense did not stop.

In the 71st minute, Quaresma once again showed his unique skills, with a long-range shot from the world wave, breaking the goal guarded by Jiwen.

Mancini looked at Quaresma running excitedly and celebrating with her eyes flashing.

His Manchester City team lacks such a player who is very skilled and can be reliable at critical moments.
