After leading by 1-0, Aston Villa did not take advantage of the situation to continue to launch an attack.

They began to shrink their formation and started passing and control.

The scene was at a deadlock.

In this game, Fang Jue's bottom line is a draw, and as long as he does not lose to Manchester City, it is acceptable.

What's more, the team is now leading by 1-0.

Therefore, facing the deadlock on the field, Fang Jue sat firmly on Diaoyutai. Anyway, it was not him who should be anxious now, but Mancini.

As a chaser in the league, Manchester City is under great pressure, and he still looks forward to the team winning this game.

Aston Villa plays on the third front. For the next week's Champions League, some of the main players were rotated in this game, especially Clement, which gave Mancini a hope of winning Aston Villa.

With such a great opportunity, he must win.

Mancini, in a suit and tie, stood on the sidelines, waving his arms vigorously.

He kept roaring and signaled the team to continue to press forward.

Mancini was very anxious because he was one ball behind the score and the team's offense was deadlocked again.

Although Vera was still a little cold in February, Mancini's back is now full of sweat, and the blue shirt in her suit is soaked in sweat.

"After leading, Aston Villa is no longer in a hurry. They began to try to dominate the game with ball control. The ball control rate is now 63%. Aston Villa controls the situation. Although Manchester City wants to attack, the first thing they have to do now is not to be so impatient and to master the ball control first!" Leinker commented.

Fang Jue sat in the coach's seat and even crossed his legs.

He glanced at Mancini who was yelling on the sidelines from time to time, feeling very proud that this person would not pose any threat to him.

...

As the first half of the game was about to end with Aston Villa leading 1-0, the situation on the court suddenly changed.

This was originally Aston Villa's frontcourt set piece.

Ha Mei took a free kick, Bentner grabbed the ball in front of the goal, and the football was saved by Johart? Suarez's supplementary shot was blocked by Kolarov at the goal line? Then Johart threw the football under him.

Johart got up from the ground and rushed to the edge of the penalty area line? Dali threw the ball and launched an attack.

"Manchester City's quick counterattack!"

"Manchester City has no chance on the offensive end? This kind of space after Aston Villa presses up on the offensive is a good opportunity they need to seize."

Johart threw the ball with his hand to launch a counterattack.

After receiving the ball, De Jong passed the ball to Gareth Barry.

Gareth Barry passed the ball directly to David Silva.

Manchester City's counterattack was very fast? He passed the midfield with three passes and two passes.

David Silva dribbled the ball, and he attracted the defense of Thornton and Milner alone.

"pretty!"

Silva is going to force his way down? Suddenly he dunk back? Pass the football out of the cracks between Milner and Thornton.

Quaresma came to pick him up and he got the football.

After adjusting the step a little, Quaresma swung his foot.

"Shit him and shoot!" Fang Jue, who had been sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, was shocked and stood up and shouted.

Quaresma was once his "loved player"? This Portuguese has the ability to shoot from a long shot with an outside instep? Quaresma's shooting move is so familiar with.

Quaresma shot!

He threw the ball into a beautiful arc, and the ball bypassed the people in the penalty area, bypassed the ten fingers of Aston Villa goalkeeper De Gea, and flew into the net against the lower edge of the crossbar.

...

“Gooooooooooooooooooooooal!”

"Quaresma! World Wave!"

"Manchester City struggled to find a goal but failed? At the critical moment, the star's personal abilities played a role!"

Quaresma did not celebrate after scoring the goal? To show respect for the old master.

He didn't celebrate, and the other Manchester City players were excited? They came from all directions and celebrated the goal excitedly.

"Fuck!" Fang Jue stood up? He swears.

Aston Villa firmly controlled the game throughout the first half? He was equalized by his opponent at the last moment? And he was scored by the old player, which really made Fang Jue very depressed.

Fang Jue was depressed, while Mancini was excited and cheering.

The Italian waved his arms vigorously on the sidelines and was very happy.

Before the game, Mancini was hesitating whether to go to Nasri or Quaresma, and in the end, he chose to trust Quaresma.

What he likes is Quaresma's external instep arc.

He didn't ask Quaresma to be so active and eye-catching, and it would be enough to be able to take such a kick at a critical moment!

Mancini was proud of his choice, and it turned out that his choice was correct.

Mancini glanced at Fang Jue and felt even more relieved when she saw Fang Jue's angry look.

It must feel good to be scored by your old player.

...

In the end, at the end of the first half, Aston Villa temporarily played one-to-one with Manchester City at home.

Players from both sides walked towards the corridor.

Quaresma was favored by television broadcasts, and the camera camera kept following him, giving him a big close-up.

The replay of his super world goal was constantly interspersed with.

This is really exciting. I can't help but jump out of the seat and the world wave...

The atmosphere was also warm in Manchester City's locker room, and everyone congratulated Quaresma.

Back in the locker room, Quaresma was no longer reserved, and her voice became louder and proud.

Mancini praised the team's performance in the first half.

“Good job!”

"Now it's one to one, we are on the same starting line, we will continue to work hard in the second half, and our goal is to take away three points!"

The atmosphere in the home team locker room at Villa Park Stadium was slightly depressing.

"What's wrong? Isn't it just being equalized by the opponent?" Fang Jue clapped his hands and said, "Or you are all so inflated and look down on your opponent. Can't you be scored by Manchester City?

"If I were Manchester City, I would be very angry when I learned your thoughts." Fang Jue made an exaggerated expression, "I look down on people too much!"

Hahaha!

After his operation, the dull atmosphere in the locker room was driven away and the players were much better.

Everyone was not depressed, they just felt depressed. They were so angry that they were equalized by their opponents at the end.

...

"I'm very dissatisfied with this goal." Seeing that the team's atmosphere was normal, Fang Jue changed the subject and began to criticize.

"When Quaresman got the ball, why didn't anyone go up and press it right away?"

"Many of you are familiar with Quaresma's characteristics. You should think of that position and have reached his range."

"Boss, it's my responsibility." Milner raised his hand to look at the responsibility.

He was also reviewing himself. If Clement was on the court, he would definitely limit Quaresma as soon as possible and would not give Quaresma a chance to calmly take off.

"I hope you don't make such a mistake again." Fang Jue nodded.

After criticizing, Fang Jue calmed down the atmosphere again.

"Okay. Guys, except for the goal that made me unsatisfied, I was still very satisfied with the whole first half."

"We have firmly controlled the situation on the court, scored first and took the lead, and I will not erase your efforts and outstanding performance just by conceding the ball."

The players were relieved to hear Fang Jue say this.

"I played well in the first half, and I continued to play like this in the second half, and there was nothing to adjust..." Fang Jue did not make any adjustments.

In fact, this is also true.

As he said, except for Quaresma's long shot in the first half, Aston Villa did not give Manchester City any chance.

No adjustments are needed.

In fact, the league is not a Champions League encounter. Both sides are very familiar with Aston Villa and Manchester City. There is no surprise victory in this kind of collision, it is a competition between the strength and the state of the game.

Fang Jue is confident in the strength of his players and his game is in good condition.

There is indeed no need to adjust.

...

At the beginning of the second half, Aston Villa did not make a substitution, and Manchester City was also the original team.

Compared with the first half, the second half was even more stalemate.

Both sides strengthened the midfield battle at the same time, and for a moment, scenes of people turning back and forth were frequently seen.

Time just passes by little by little.

When the game was 75 minutes into the game, the score on the field was still 1-1.

Mancini made the first substitution adjustment. Quaresma, who scored a goal in the first half, had a physical crisis. Nasri came on as a substitute and replaced Quaresma.

Fang Jue also made a substitution adjustment, De Bruyne came on as a substitute and replaced Gareth Bale.
To be continued...
