Chapter 138 O'Neal's Wisdom

After the game against Bolton, Duncan's formation level reached a critical point again.

Just a little bit, his formation level will enter level 7.

With a level 7 formation, Duncan can get a new formation again.

Of course, the premise is to beat Aston Villa.

This is the second round of the match between the two sides this season.In the first match at the beginning of the season, relying on Samaras's brace and Bianchi's goal, the team defeated Aston Villa 3-0 at home.

In this game, Aston Villa, who sits at home, has come to revenge.

Aston Villa got off to a bad start and lost consecutive games.But in the subsequent games, Martin O'Neill supported Leo Cook, the Premier League stealer, and Laurson, the defender with the most clearances.

O'Neill's ability to train players can be seen.

Today's Aston Villa is waiting for the winter transfer window to open, and Barton will join them to complete their last reinforcement of the team's midfield.

The current Aston Villa is completely different from the Aston Villa half a season ago, and this game is still Aston Villa's home court, occupying the right time, place and people, Aston Villa There's no reason Lara shouldn't be looking for a three-point shot.

However, Villa coach Martin O'Neill maintained a humble attitude. He praised Duncan, who praised Duncan for his beautiful signings, and the team's tactics are very magical.Although Duncan is younger than him, when it comes to coaching ability, Duncan has a lot to learn from Martin O'Neill.

Saying this is a bit of a psychological warfare, but Martin O'Neill is indeed grateful to Duncan.If it weren't for the long talk in the bar at the beginning of the season, without Duncan's persuasion, Martin O'Neill would not have brought Aston Villa back to life so quickly and revived his fighting spirit.

Of course, respect is respect, and competition is competition.

When it comes to the game, Aston Villa is not as calm as they say.

Victory is something that no one does not want.

Relying on the home court advantage, Aston Villa launched a stormy onslaught at the beginning, which made the comrades of Manchester City a little at a loss.

They didn't expect that in the first round of fighting, that extremely weak opponent would undergo such an earth-shaking change in just half a year.

This is not the same as they expected before the game.

After a while of panic, Manchester City took the lead in conceding the ball.

Leo Cook made a direct pass after stealing the ball, and Abanglaho succeeded in countering offside. Relying on his speed, he left Manchester City's back line behind. After breaking into the penalty area, he used a rapid change of direction to bypass Joe Ha Special defense, scored the ball into Manchester City's goal.

No one expected that Aston Villa's style of "beating the master to death with random punches" could get such a fantastic start.

After the goal, Aston Villa retreated in an all-round way and resolutely played a defensive counterattack.

Their defensive responsibilities are clear, their positions are reasonable, and their positions are appropriate. It is obvious that they have undergone special drills.

Aston Villa is not a team that holds high the banner of offense. To some extent, they are a bit like Mourinho's. They don't pay attention to ball possession and scenes, but only look at practicality. He advocates that on the basis of defense, Fight back.

In the game against Aston Villa, it is fine to lead or draw; but once you fall behind, you will become very passive.

Aston Villa's defensive tactics determine that the opponent must send a lot of people to fight in positions, and relying on a few fast horses in the frontcourt, Aston Villa also has the ability to score the ball into the opponent's goal within 30 seconds.

This style of play is simple but practical.

It is because of this style of play that O'Neill's team will leap from a weak team to a quasi-strong team.

Now that Aston Villa is leading, O'Neal on the sidelines is relieved.

He glanced at Duncan in a blink of an eye. Duncan didn't pay attention to him, but had been carefully observing every move of Aston Villa.

The team lost three league games this season, two of which were due to red and yellow cards invalidating the formation, so Duncan has been improving his coaching level.If one day he can design his own tactics to defeat the opponent without relying on the formation system, this is what he hopes to obtain.

Communicating with high-level opponents is naturally more meaningful for learning.

Martin O'Neill is a relatively powerful head coach in the Premier League. He even became the rumored head coach of Chelsea for a time, which shows his ability.

So Duncan also pays attention to learning from O'Neill.

Of course, holding a learning attitude does not mean that Duncan wants to admit defeat.

Facing Aston Villa's retreat, Manchester City naturally moved forward and pressed forward.

The two five-element arrays are closely combined to avoid gaps.

For Duncan's five-element array, Martin O'Neill has done special research.

He was amazed at the ingenuity of the magical coordination tactics between the five Duncans. He has never been able to understand why the five players have such a seamless movement.

But this does not mean that Martin - O'Neill himself no way.

He adopted a tactic of zone defense and man marking.

There will be a defensive player squatting in each defense zone.As long as someone enters this area, then this player will conduct a "meticulous" personal marking.Once the offensive player leaves, the defensive player will hand over the offense to his teammates in the next area.

Martin O'Neill believes that such a tactic not only makes the team's position very reasonable, but also can restrain Manchester City's offense with only five players involved.

After all, the limited number of offensive players is a major flaw in Manchester City's offense.

In the game, it was indeed as Martin O'Neill expected.Whenever a Manchester City attacking player enters a player's zone, it is nailed.In addition to running back, wherever the offensive player runs, there will be someone to mark it.

Shevchenko took the ball from the side, and Martin Petrov ran from the side to the middle, raising his arms to demand.The full-backs followed immediately, preventing Shevchenko from passing the ball.

Sure enough, the passing lane was easily blocked.

Later, Samaras moved to this area, and another central defender quickly leaned up and grabbed his clothes.

Samaras is a good scorer.

From this point of view, Manchester City has two players who are both nailed, and O'Neill's tactics have played a role.

At this moment, Miduo also ran in, and came to the four of them.

This time, Aston Villa's defense showed a little hesitation.

The players who marked Mido before gave up defending Mido because Mido left his defense zone.

But entering a new area, because the players in the two nearby areas are defending Samaras and Martin Petrov, the intruder Mido, at this moment, is unmarked...

The football was passed quickly.

Although there were five people concentrated in this area, four of them were crowded together, and Mido's holding the ball was not disturbed in any way.

After getting the football, Mido took the ball into the penalty area, and then shot!

Soccer hits the net!

1: 0!

Manchester City scored the first goal!
