If some media and fans like to divide coaches into factions, Aston Villa head coach Fang Jue and his opponent Wigan Athletic coach Roberto Martinez are barely one faction.

Fang Jue was born in La Liga. Although Ibiza he coached also praised pressing and defensive counterattacks, Ibiza can also play a very pleasing attack.

Roberto Martinez is a Spaniard, and his football philosophy also advocates a smooth attack.

Of course, the biggest Spanish faction in the Premier League is Liverpool coach Rafa Benitez. Benitez, who once led Liverpool to the UEFA Champions League, belongs to a higher level. Moreover, Benitez obviously has no cheating. He has never expressed any opinion about the two younger generations.

The expectations for this game in England are high. This is the first Premier League show of the famous young coach Fang Jue in European football. In addition, this is also the first show of Martinez coaching Wigan Athletic.

Of course, the main expectation lies in the former. Everyone is wide-eyed to see how the Chinese coach who led Ibiza to perform miracles has performed after coming to the Premier League and whether his magic will be lost due to unacceptable conditions. magic.

Aston Villa's starting lineup surprised everyone. Fang Jue has lined up a starting lineup dominated by Aston Villa's players last season.

Dessler was on the bench, Senderos was on the bench, Robert Enke was on the bench, and Gareth Bale and Van Nistelrooy were in the stands.

Only Clement got the starter.

Aston Villa’s starting goalkeeper is veteran Friedl, right back is Luk Young, left back is Dutch veteran Wilfred Bauma, and the central back partners are Curtis Davis and Cuellar; The midfield is Ashley Young, Clement, Simon Wright, Petrov and Milner's four midfielders, and the forward is the fast forward Abang Raho.

At Wigan Athletic, the starting goalkeeper is Kirkland, the back line from right to left is Melchiot, Bramble, Schalner and Figueroa, and the midfielder is Thomas, Michael Brown, En Zobia and Gomez, the striker is the partner of Coomas and Rodriega.

Fang Jue’s starting lineup obviously surprised Wigan Athletic coach Martinez. What surprised him most was that the German star Sebastian Dessler, known as the Chinese coach’s number one direct line, was actually sitting on the bench. On the table.

Moreover, Fang Jue unexpectedly made his own Premier League debut. In his home debut, the midfielder arranged for Clement and Sidwell, two intercepting and fierce midfielders, to start together. This was a match against Martinez. Caught off guard.

As we all know, Petrov is not a real frontcourt playmaker. Ashley Young and Milner are mainly going straight up and down on the wing. In this case, Fang Jue has such a midfield configuration. How about Aston Villa? Maybe a good game?

Should Aston Villa play conservatively at home?

Although this idea is a bit absurd, Martinez has an intuition, that is what that guy planned?

What brain circuit is this?

The strength of Aston Villa is stronger than Wigan Athletic. Although the second half of last season collapsed, the ranking is still several places higher than Wigan Athletic. Aston Villa’s entire team is worth a lot of Wigan Athletic. Times.

Under this circumstance, the home debut, the Premier League debut, how can you be so embarrassed?

Martinez couldn't understand. Anyway, if he had such a good card in his hand, he would definitely fly offensively at home.

Yes, compared to Wigan Athletic, Aston Villa is a good card.

...

"Wigan Athletic met Aston Villa's extremely resistant commentator John Mortensen from the beginning of the game, sarcastically said.

Yes, it's sarcasm.

Stronger than their opponents, Aston Villa, who played at home, turned out to be away. He played so conservatively at home and even gave up offensive dominance. This made the gold medal commentator very uncomprehending and looked down on— —Look down at the guy who made this tactic.

"This may be out of prudent considerations." Lineker said cautiously.

The fans of Aston Villa in the stands also did not understand, but the fans still had a certain degree of patience and did not rebel at the beginning.

Regardless of what the fans and commentators think, the game is going on like this.

Aston Villa's tough defensive attitude in the game, actively fighting, using their excellent physical fitness to fly around the field, from the frontcourt to steal the football at the feet of Wigan Athletic players.

In particular, Sidwell and Clement, two players with strong interception ability, are like building a wall in front of Aston Villa's defense.

"Clement is indeed very capable." Although he questioned Aston Villa's conservative tactics, Mortensen said fairly, "Clement has strong interception ability and large sweeping area. Sidwell was by his side to help him fill up the gaps, and the coordination of the two midfielders turned out to be in perfect harmony."

"If you just look at the defensive performance, the pairing of these two men and their performance on the interception end are really impressive." Lineker also said.

"There is also Milner. Compared with Ashley Young on the left, Milner is more defensive. In the face of Enzobia, who has strong assault ability, Milner is very strong on the defensive end. "

Enzobia has a strong ability to go straight up and down. His assists and breakthroughs on the left are a scene that Wigan Athletic fans like. However, in today's game, Enzobia was strongly restrained.

Not only Enzobia, but the Wigan Athletic team faced such a frenzied fight by Aston Villa. They were a little uncomfortable, and the technical statistics of active errors rose sharply.

This is not to say that Wigan Athletic is not good at confrontation. After all, in the Premier League, the Premier League has always focused on confrontation and the intensity of the competition is very intense.

However, the problem lies in the tactical preparations made by Wigan Athletic. Martinez judged that Fang Jue would be "eager to win" and "eager to win" in his Premier League debut. He judged Aston Wei La will play very positively, so Martinez's strategy for Wigan Athletic in this game is to play against Aston Villa.

Of course, Martinez is not without defensive preparation. He arranged for Michael Brown in the midfield with a strong ability to fight. This former Leeds United Titans has good confrontation ability.

However, he didn't expect Fang Jue to do even better. Clement and Sidwell, two sturdy men, don't want the **** Michael Brown.

Petrov is also capable of offensive and defensive, and it is also very compatible with this set of tactics that focus on pressing.

Wigan Athletic players are obviously not well prepared for the desperate play style of Vera, they were panicked by Wigan Athletic, and their performance was significantly lower than their benchmark level.

The fighting moves of the players on both sides are getting bigger and bigger.

The referee Kratenberg's whistle sounded frequently.

When the first half of the game was approaching forty minutes, Kratenberg had already shown six yellow cards, including two from Aston Villa and four from Wigan Athletic.

Yes, you read that right, the fight against the fierce Aston Villa only got two yellow cards, while Wigan Athletic got four yellow cards.

This is not because the referee favors the home team.

Aston Villa’s fouls are well-accounted for, and fouls from behind are very good, and the actions are not big, but the intensity is enough. For example, this time, Enzobia just got the ball and Milner was tight. Coming up, Clemente suddenly went up and intercepted the ball from the side. At the same time, because he didn't close his foot in time, he brought Enzobia down.

Enzobia sat on the ground, raised his hands in protest, and signaled Clemente to foul.

The referee waved his hand and ignored it. This level of tackle is within the permissible range of the Premier League.

"Clement is really a baby." Mortensen was unhappy with Aston Villa's conservative tactics, but he seemed to really like Clement in the first half of the game. In addition to criticizing Fang Jue's tactical choices in the first half of the game. , Is to praise Clemente.

"Yes, it's hard to imagine that a player from the Spanish League can adapt to the Premier League so quickly~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Lineker also praised, "Watching him play, I think of Makelele. "

As for the reason why Wigan Athletic took more cards, it turned out to be because they were irritated by Aston Villa's fight. When they were emotional, they would inevitably move a little bit. There were also players who roared at the referee and received fearless yellow cards. .

Martinez watched this scene from the sidelines and shook his head.

He admitted that he underestimated Fang Jue. In the Premier League debut game, the title of the double champion coach last season, this person is so cautious and puts such a low posture. It is hard to imagine that he can save others by himself. Martinez felt that if he were Fang Jue, he could not do so.

At the end of the first half, the score was zero to zero. Neither side scored a goal. The entire first half of the game was a turn of events. Wigan Athletic was always trying to find a chance to score. However, it quickly fell into a match with Aspen. Dunville's hand-to-hand combat.

As for Aston Villa, they didn't seem to think about scoring in the first half of the game, and the forward striker Abang Raho did not get any decent offensive opportunities.

"Conservative tactics, bad first half." John Mortensen said, "However, I didn't even feel that time flies so quickly."

Indeed, the first half of the game was very fierce, and time passed without knowing it.

"If you look at the intensity of the fight, coach Fang Jue has achieved the standard of a qualified Premier League coach." Lineker said, but obviously, this is not entirely good.

In the camera, Fang Jue got up from the coach's bench, smiled, applauded, and high-five the players who left the field, patted their shoulders.

"It's like Aston Villa is leading with a goal." John Mortensen couldn't help but sarcastically said, "To be honest, coach Fang Jue's halftime debut, I was very disappointed."
