After the game started again, people noticed the tactical changes in Liverpool.

Liverpool did not push out to attack anymore, but began to shrink its formation.

Fang Jue glanced at the direction of the visiting team coach's seat. He was not surprised by Rodgers' tactical change, and this was a wise choice.

Aston Villa is in full swing now. If Liverpool continues to push out, they may concede the ball. If one more goal is lost and it becomes a zero-to-three behind, the game will almost end early.

Like Fang Jue's judgment, Rodgers ordered Liverpool to return to defense across the board, which means to stabilize the defense and must not concede the ball in the first half.

The situation was very bad when he was behind zero to two in the halftime, but at least it was not to the point of despair. Rodgers placed his hopes on the halftime break. He hoped that the fifteen-minute break would allow the team to recover their form and find a solution to the problem.

Liverpool actively contracted its formation. After Aston Villa no longer had the threat from the defense, he pushed up and launched a tide of attack on Liverpool's goal.

Especially Liverpool's defensive area of ​​right-back Mankillo, who was only 20 years old, who was loaned from Atletico Madrid, was attacked by Sanchez, Mane and Milner, which could be said to be in a mess.

In the end, the first half ended after Mankillo's first helpless foul.

Fang Jue was a little unsatisfied. He found the referee Dean and questioned that the opponent should give Mangelo a yellow card and allowed Aston Villa to take this frontcourt free kick.

No wonder Fang Jue was a little unhappy. Mankino already had a yellow card on his body. If Dean gave another yellow card just now, Mankino would have been sent off by a red card.

It can be said that Dean showed mercy, otherwise Liverpool would have one less person on the court in the second half.

...

In the visiting team's locker room, Aston Villa's players talk and laugh, and the atmosphere in the locker room is very good.

Throughout the first half, Aston Villa not only took a two-goal lead, but the rhythm of the game was controlled by Aston Villa almost most of the time.

Even when Liverpool was pressing on the offense across the board, their offense was still thunderous and the overall game rhythm was still controlled by Aston Villa.

Fang Jue was also very satisfied. Not counting the Community Shield Cup before the start of the season, the game against Liverpool was the first strong opponent faced by Aston Villa who had been introduced and sold by important players. This game is the touchstone for this Aston Villa. At present, the players' performance makes him satisfied.

"Okay, guys." Fang Jue clapped his hands, "We are all familiar with Liverpool's opponent, especially in this stadium, where they often burst out amazing energy, so we can't relax with 2-0."

"Liverpool will definitely seek a counterattack in the second half, and we must be vigilant."

"Now I'll deploy the tactics of the second half of the game and what needs to be paid attention to."

The tactics that Fang Jue formulated for Aston Villa are summarized as one word: offense.

He could guess Rodgers' tactics in the second half, and Rodgers, who was unwilling to lose, could only arrange for the team to push out the attack.

In this case, Fang Jue can also choose to arrange the team to defend and counterattack, which is also the safest tactic.

However, Fang Jue has his considerations and wants to play against Liverpool.

This summer's transfer window, Aston Villa's biggest adjustment was in the midfield and frontcourt. Fang Jue hopes to use such an opportunity to test the team's offense, use the game instead of training, and improve the players' tacit understanding of offense.

In addition, Rodgers and Liverpool are expected to be somewhat unexpected for Aston Villa's strong attack at the beginning of the second half, which may be caught off guard by Liverpool.

...

After the second half of the game started, Aston Villa kicked off first, and from the moment the whistle sounded, they launched a fierce attack on Liverpool's goal.

To be precise, Aston Villa is still focusing on attacking Liverpool's right, which is the area where Sarco and Manquits defend.

In the first half, Fang Jue noticed that Liverpool's young defender Mankillo, who was playing for the next time today, is the loophole for Liverpool. In addition, Sarco's condition is also quite average today.

And, most importantly, both Sarco and Manquillo have a yellow card.

Aston Villa continues to attack this area, even if it doesn't continue to score goals so quickly, it is likely that Sarco or Manquillo will get the cards, that is, the two yellows turn and one red are sent off by the red card.

Poor Mankillo, who joined Liverpool from Atletico Madrid, thought that Liverpool, who had a "slight competitive pressure", would have more playing time and a bright future.

But I didn't expect that I would be treated so cruelly in my first game of the season.

For this young Spanish full-back, he felt like a small boat in the vast ocean, with huge waves sweeping towards him, which made him even more nervous and panic.

CCTV commentator He Wei, who commented on this game, and commentator Zhang Lu were surprised. The two also talked about the second half of the game during the half-time break. They believed that Aston Villa in the second half would likely play defensive counterattack tactics, and quick counterattack was the tactic they were good at.

Moreover, Liverpool, which is behind zero to two, will inevitably push out the attack, which is more likely to give Aston Villa the opportunity to play their sharp counterattack.

In addition, there is one more thing, that is, Aston Villa will usher in the first game of the new season's Champions League group stage in three days. They will face Dortmund at home, which is the strongest opponent in Aston Villa's group.

Logically speaking, Aston Villa played more conservatively in the second half, and could save energy and retain strength for the Champions League match against Dortmund.

However, unexpectedly, after the second half began, the facts were completely different from what they guessed. Aston Villa not only did not play conservatively, but continued to attack, and it can even be said to have launched a more fierce offensive.

Aston Villa's crazy offense was effective in the 55th minute of the game.

Liverpool's right-back Manquillo fouled Pogba in defense. Referee Dean showed no mercy this time. He showed Manquillo the second yellow card. The young Spanish full-back turned yellow and was sent off with a red card.

Seeing Manggillo being sent off with a red card, Rogers was both depressed and upset.

Mangillo had a yellow card on his body and had become Aston Villa's breakthrough. He naturally saw it, but he had been hesitating whether to replace Mangillo so early, but he didn't expect that such hesitation would be delayed.

In addition, Rodgers was also helpless. There was another reason why he did not replace Mankillo in time. There was no one to replace on the bench. Either arrange for Collotur to play as a guest right back, or Spanish player Jose Enrique to play right back, but neither of them are real right backs, especially Enrique's condition. Rodgers is really worried that Enrique will open up a new sprint route for Aston Villa after he comes on the court.

Speaking of which, Liverpool won the third place in the Premier League last season, which can be said to have wiped out the decline for many years, and this result is quite good.

Logically speaking, under such circumstances, the Liverpool boss should be very happy and spend a lot of money to sign up for the Premier League championship to compete for the new season.

But what is the result?

Liverpool's most heavyweight signing in the transfer market was to introduce Balotelli from AC Milan, but instead sold the team's top scorer Diego Costa at a high price.

It can be said that Rogers was also quite helpless when he was not available.

Manquillo was sent off with a red card, which directly extinguished the fire of hope for the Liverpoolman to turn the tables.

On Aston Villa's side, Fang Jue dispatched troops one after another.

Modric was replaced and rested, and Ngolo Kante came on as a substitute.

Lewandowski, who scored twice, was substituted and Valdy came on as a substitute.

Mane was replaced and successfully obtained a labor certificate. Son Heung-min, who can play for Aston Villa, came on as a substitute. The young Korean player made his debut in the Premier League and Aston Villa.

In the 83rd minute of the game, Sanchez received a straight pass from Pogba and dribbled into the penalty area and shot in a small angle to score in the near corner.

In injury time, Valdy's shot in front of the goal was saved. De Bruyne's spike avoided Lovren's tackle and pushed the ball through Liverpool defender Sarco's wicket into the net.

This goal also finally locked the score of the game at 4-0, and Aston Villa won a hearty victory at Anfield.

...

Aston Villa won Liverpool four-zero away.

In another focus match in this round of Premier League, Arsenal tied the defending champion Manchester City 2-2 at the Emirates Stadium.

Wilhel scored the first record for Arsenal in the first half.

Aguero equalized the score for Manchester City.

In the second half, Mkhitaryan came on the bench and quickly scored a wonderful arc goal to help Arsenal lead Manchester City two-to-one again.

Manchester City did not take advantage of a set piece until the game was about to end, and Argentine centre-back Demi Kelis headed the ball to tie the score.

In the end, the score of this game was two to two.

After the game, the media praised Arsenal's outstanding performance and said that if Manchester City had not had good luck, the victory in this game would have belonged to Arsenal.

And Armenian star Mkhitaryan, who was introduced from Dortmund when Arsenal was about to close the transfer window.

Yes, after Fang Jue intercepted Sanchez, Wenger had no choice but to change the target to Dortmund's Armenian star Mkhitaryan.

In the end, Arsenal finally became proud and spent 36.5 million euros in transfer fees, forcibly poaching Mkhitaryan from Dortmund.

German media reported that Klopp was very annoyed about Mkhitaryan's poaching. It is said that Klopp had a big fight with the senior officials of Dortmund, and some media that were "fearing that the world would not be in chaos" said slightly exaggeratedly that Klopp was "harmed" by Fang Jue again:

If Fang Jue doesn't intercept Hu Sanchez, Wenger will not come to force Mkhitaryan... So, if you want to blame Fang Jue, you will blame him.

Mkhitaryan joined Arsenal from Dortmund when the transfer window was close. Then it was the national team match day. Armenian stars had almost no time to practice with the entire Arsenal team, so in this game against Manchester City, Wenger placed Mkhitaryan on the bench.

I'm afraid even Wenger didn't expect the Armenian star to be so beautiful in his debut at Arsenal. He came on the bench and touched the ball for the third time and scored the first shot.

Therefore, after the game, Arsenal fans were ecstatic and praised Mkhitaryan.

In the eyes of Arsenal fans, Arsenal now has the double cores of Mkhitaryan and Eddie, and the old hen turns into a duck and is about to shake.

Fang Jue called Wenger the next day to congratulate: Professor, look, if it weren't for me, how could you have got such an outstanding player? Thank you very much.

Of course, this is a joke, and Fang Jue could not say this directly. He congratulated the professor on his good generals, hoping to alleviate the conflicts caused by his interception of Sanchez.

The professor replied to him: Get out!

...

Two days later, Aston Villa ushered in the first day of the UEFA Champions League group stage with Dortmund.

This is the meeting between the two teams in the Champions League for many years.

It can even be said that Dortmund and Klopp are old friends of Fang Jue and Aston Villa in the Champions League.

Both sides can be said to be aware of their roots and bottom lines, and they are no longer familiar with each other.

In the end, Aston Villa defeated Dortmund 3-0 at the home court of New Villa Park.

Lewandowski, Vardy and Mane won three consecutive games for Aston Villa.

After the game, the media widely used photos of Klopp shaking hands with Fang Jue with a gloomy face.
