Chapter 233 Is it so difficult to play for a team in the relegation zone?

After this Champions League game, Manchester City will challenge Aston Villa away from home, and then return home to face the Red Army Liverpool.

After that, he will rush to Italy for the second round of the Champions League against Juventus.

The schedule in the recent period has been quite intensive.

However, this round of league opponent Aston Villa can indeed give Manchester City a little breather.

Although Villa is one of the founding teams of the old English League One and Premier League, after the new century, the team's record has gone from bad to worse.

This season it is even harder to win, and a relegation spot is basically determined.

Unless they make large-scale signings in the winter window and completely change their appearance.

Otherwise, this season is basically hopeless.

Because Aston Villa's team logo is very similar to Chelsea's team logo, many Chinese fans call Aston Villa Chelsea.

In fact, Aston Villa has a much longer history than Chelsea. It was Chelsea who plagiarized Aston Villa's team emblem.

Zhao Yi is quite concerned about this game.

Because Demi Rose is a Birmingham native and has been a Villa fan since she was a child, which is a family tradition.

She has always been a die-hard fan of Aston Villa, and she will come to cheer almost every game played by Aston Villa.

After discussing the true meaning of life with a beautiful student from the University of Manchester, Zhao Yi felt that Demi Rose was more exciting.

So when Zhao Yi goes to Birmingham this time, he not only has to defeat Aston Villa and defeat Demi Rose mentally, but also has to deal a huge blow to her body through the dimension reduction style.

Villa Park, the home stadium of Aston Villa.

Although the team's record is not good, the enthusiasm of the fans remains the same.

After Zhao Yi stepped onto the court, he looked around and finally found Demi Rose not far from the court.

She had money, so she bought a pretty good location.

Demi Rose stood in the stands with her arms folded across her chest and a fierce expression.

Seeing Zhao Yi's gaze, she stretched out her left hand and pointed her middle finger at Zhao Yi.

The broadcast camera captured this scene keenly.

Villa's commentator was very proud to introduce this die-hard Villa fan to the fans.

As a fan, this should be the case. No matter what kind of enemy you face, you must strategically despise them.

Overwhelm them with momentum!

The fans at the scene gave the Manchester City players huge boos.

They even organized a phalanx of beautiful fans, a singing group, and made up chants to "welcome" Manchester City players.

The so-called poor students with too much stationery are talking about Aston Villa.

Guardiola arranged for Bony and Iheanacho to serve as substitute strike partner Sterling for this game.

Fernandinho, Zhao Yi, Gundogan midfield combination.

It is also Manchester City's first 433-- formation this season.

The players obviously did not adapt to this formation, and there were many problems with the football passing and receiving cooperation at the beginning of the game.

The level of Villa's players is indeed not very good, and they did not seize the opportunity.

Both sides played very ugly.

The fans in the stands were very passionate. They believed that it was their team's players' great defensive success that made Manchester City so uncomfortable.

Throughout the first half, Manchester City's movement was extremely embarrassing, and Zhao Yi almost fell into a solo situation.

It's hard to create too many chances.

The ball passed out will also be intercepted by Villa players.

The kick was very awkward.

But Guardiola was there, as if he had everything under control, and there was no rush.

Whenever Zhao Yi gets the ball and gets caught in a double-team, or makes a pass error, the fans in the stands keep booing.

Demi Rose didn't sit down the whole time she was at work, she just stood there, yelling like crazy.

Give the most intense boos to Zhao Yi who made a mistake.

She didn't know that she thought Zhao Yi had robbed her boyfriend, which was why she was so excited.

In the second half, Manchester City gradually took control of the situation on the field.

The overall technical level of Manchester City players is still much better than Villa.

But Villa played extremely tenaciously.

One is that they need some points to avoid relegation.

Second, Manchester City is now the most ferocious team in the Premier League. If they can keep them clean or even defeat them, it will definitely be a very glorious thing.

So in this game, Villa's players played with a spirit that they didn't have before.

Likewise, the fans are more excited and more passionate.

When Manchester City launched an attack, there were boos one after another. The fans in the stands uniformly raised their middle fingers to disturb the Manchester City players.

In the 65th minute of the game, Villa kicked off a very high-quality counterattack. It was also the second shot in the game, and the first shot on target!

Unfortunately, the ball was confiscated by Joe Hart.

There was a sound of regret throughout the stands.

Just like facing Sevilla, Manchester City got stronger later on.

The attacks came one after another.

Sterling's breakthrough hit the goal, and Boni received a direct shot from Zhao Yi.

Unfortunately, they were all resolved by the heroic goalkeeper.

As the game passed minute by minute, Villa fans became more excited.

"Man City are going to miss the mark in this game??"

"Fuck, is this the level of number one in the Premier League?"

"Manchester City is a waste, Zhao Yi is stupid!"

“That’s it for the race for first place!”

“I will never buy the number one product again!”

"It's so difficult to play for a team in the relegation zone???"

"Hahaha... I told you before, Manchester City can't win!"

"Manchester City has played so many games recently, the players are exhausted and their condition is not good anymore!"

"Finally let me catch you!"

"Successfully slaying the dragon!"

"Whoever buys it will die?"

"The King of Thunderball is out of control??"

The entire Sulei platform is about to explode.

"Why panic? It only takes one second to score!"

"I have confidence in Manchester City. I scored two goals in two minutes in the last game. I believe in King Zhao!"

"7+ are still watching."

At eighty-five minutes, the score was 0:0.

The old man who bought 7+ goals is still calm, not out of trust in Manchester City, but just because he lost.

never mind.

Look away.

The fans at Villa Park are already excited.

"Go back!!!"

"Hold!!!"

“Take Manchester City!!!”

"Delay time!"

"Lie down and don't get up!!"

"Don't tee off, just lie there!!!"

A large number of fans were shouting. These fans, who hoped that the team could play a scene like mercury pouring from the ground, ignored it at this time and shouted for Villa's players to stall for time.

"Come on! Foul!! Shovel them!!!"

In the noisy scene, some people thought that Vera was going to win the championship.

At the same moment, Leicester City fans are even more nervous. They have suddenly emerged this season and have been ranked second in the league.

Their game is over, with a 2-0 away victory over Everton.

Twelve games, 9 wins, two draws and one loss, narrowing the point difference with Manchester City to four points!

If Manchester City draws, the point difference will only be five points. If Villa can steal one, it will be perfect.

Fans of other Premier League teams, even if they know that their team cannot compete for the championship, hope that Manchester City cannot win this game.

In the 92nd minute of the game, Manchester City's players were indeed a little anxious.

However, with all members of Villa entering the defensive area, it was already difficult to have a chance.

After Sterling's breakthrough, he had no chance to go further and had no choice but to pass back.

Outside the penalty area, Manchester City continued to pull.

I hope to be able to pull apart Villa's formation and find opportunities.

After Zhao Yi got the ball in the middle, he directly chose to sprint. After continuously shifting his center of gravity, he rushed to the right. When he was about to break through, the defensive player Letterman kicked Zhao Yi out of the penalty area.

After the foul, Letterman struggled to explain to the referee.

An absolute flop.

However, the referee firmly awarded a free kick.

Villa players quickly formed a wall.

Boos from all directions enveloped the entire stadium.

The people of Valar did not believe that the long night was coming.

They have been working hard for so long and they will never collapse at the last moment.

Zhao Yi stood in front of the ball, and De Bruyne, who came on as a substitute, stood aside.

Zhao Yi explained something to him, and De Bruyne left the ball and ran towards the edge of the penalty area.

Kompany, Otamendi, Fernandinho, Bony, and Gundo all ran into the penalty area.

"Zhao decided to take the penalty himself and did not need De Bruyne's tactical cover.

A very confident choice.

Zhao's free kicks are of a very high standard. The distance is a bit close and it is actually not easy to exert force. It would be even more perfect if he could hit three to five meters further away. "

The Manchester City players in the visiting team's fan section stood up and held their heads, staring intently.

"There are six minutes of injury time, and there are only two minutes left before the end of the game! This may be Manchester City's most threatening attack.

The Villa fans at the scene were doing their best to interfere.

Manchester City also encountered its toughest battle this season.

They have never scored a goal in stoppage time before! "
