They question Mourinho's use of nepotism.

"Maca" criticized that the relationship between Essin and Mourinho was extraordinary, and it was also rumored that after Essin joined Real Madrid on loan, he called the madman to be his "dad", which directly led to a sharp decline in the relationship between Mourinho and "Maca".

...

Fang Jue asked the whole team to focus on attacking the Essin point.

However, what he didn't expect was that the "Big Buffalo" who returned to the midfield was in a very good state today.

Aston Villa kept making efforts in Essin, but he never made any breakthroughs.

Ibrahimovic was taken seriously by Essin and was entangled for a while.

De Bruyne and Hamei were also focused on guarding on both wings. Coentron and Nacho adopted foul tactics against the two. For a while, Aston Villa's offensive rhythm was disrupted and there was no effect.

Faced with Aston Villa's sudden strengthening offensive, Real Madrid could only make every effort to defend.

The game was at a deadlock.

Aston Villa and Real Madrid have little choice but to do so, and both sides are in a hand-to-hand battle in the midfield.

Both sides have few shots.

To be honest, this game was relatively dull and not very good-looking.

The camera even captured a lady in the VIP room yawning boredly.

Although the game was boring, Fang Jue was not in a hurry at all.

The 3-2 win at the Bernabeu allowed Aston Villa to be at ease in this game.

Three to two away games, and three away goals were in hand. Even if this game was zero to zero or even zero to one, the final result was Aston Villa eliminated Real Madrid and successfully advanced to the semi-finals of this season's Champions League.

So, I didn't have to hurry.

In fact, for this game, the core of the main tactics that Fang Jue formulated for Aston Villa is "defensive counterattack".

Compared with the more aggressive ‘defensive counterattack’ at the Bernabeu.

In today's game, Aston Villa's defensive counterattack is the most conservative defensive counterattack. Even if you get a counterattack opportunity, you will not blindly press the whole line. The first thing you need to do is to defend well.

Only when the defense is not messy and the defensive formation remains complete will we consider investing more counterattack forces.

Among the double midfielders formed by Clement and Modric, Modric's top priority is not to organize the offense and quickly use the ball to counterattack, but to sort out the midfield to ensure that the midfield is not anxious or impatient.

In the front, De Bruyne and Hamei will also pay attention to the distance from the full-back and are ready to come back to help defend.

Only two players, Ibrahimovic and Lewandowski, were not mandatory to return to defense, and they could choose their own time to help defend as needed.

These two men remained in front of them to deter Real Madrid's defense line.

On Real Madrid, Di Maria was in poor condition and E Dayan left the field due to injury.

Rod was closely guarded by Aston Villa.

Benzema and Higuain in front were cut off from the route of transporting judgment, and they also seemed to be isolated and helpless.

...

Aston Villa had three shots throughout the first half.

Real Madrid had four shots.

Among the seven shots of both sides, the two sides contributed a total of four long shots.

When referee Lannoy blew the dull whistle to the end of the first half, many neutral fans shook their heads in disappointment and even cursed.

However, Aston Villa fans burst into cheers.

The first half was zero to zero, which was extremely beneficial for Aston Villa.

If Real Madrid wants to turn the tables, they must score two goals in the second half, while ensuring that they do not concede:

Aston Villa, who was in good shape in the first half, had a 2-0 difficulty in this mission.

So, at the end of the first half, Mourinho's face turned gloomy. Obviously, the Magic Birds knew that his team was having big size annoyance (not a typo).

Fang Jue smiled. After such a first half game, he was more confident that Aston Villa would eventually eliminate Real Madrid and advance to the semi-finals.

...

"Good job!" Fang Jue praised his players during the break.

He praised Modric in a key way.

In today's game, Modric sacrificed his offensive ability and helped the team defend more.

Modric is not a brute-force defense.

He sorted out the midfield in the position of the midfield in the organization, and used the pass and receiving and running coordination to ensure the stability of the midfield as much as possible.

Before the second half begins.

Glino found Fang Jue.

"Boss, let me play," said Glino.

"Stay honestly, you will be arranged to play when you need to play." Fang Jue said angrily.

"Boss, the game is too dull, I feel uncomfortable watching it." Gleno said distressedly.

Fang Jue almost laughed out loud, tell me, you stayed honestly on the bench, and you were just going to be dead at any time, and you actually said that the kick was too dull and it was uncomfortable to watch.

"Let me play, and the deadlock in the game will be broken immediately! Tell me, who will I do?" Gleno continued to say unyieldingly.

He really wants to play.

He is already thirty-three years old and can't play for long, one less game.

What a great opportunity to play against Real Madrid in the Champions League knockout stage. What a shame it would be if it didn't go up and play Real Madrid all at once.
