Aston Villa's players are assistant coaches Ceballos and Steve Villa. Under the leadership of Werner, he is warming up on the field.

Fang Jue stood on the sidelines, looking with interest at the Manchester United people who were warming up on the other side.

He was staring at Ferguson, to be exact.

Although the two have spoken on the phone many times, they have not met before.

Ferguson put his hands in his trouser pockets and watched the players warm up in this game.

The old man couldn't help but yawn.

Older people don't fall asleep easily.

I finally fell asleep during my lunch break when I was woken up by a phone call, and then I couldn't sleep again.

His intuition told him that someone was watching him, and when he turned his head to look for it, he saw Fang Jue looking at him.

Fang Jue nodded to Ferguson.

The old man smiled and nodded.

Then both of them turned their heads away, and there was no verbal exchange.

……

Ceballos walked over and handed Fang Jue a bottle of water.

Fang Jue unscrewed the cap of the bottle, first took a big sip, then gurgled and spit it out.

"Ferguson is not in good spirits when he thinks about it." Ceballos said he saw the old Scottish man yawn one after another.

"When you get older, you will inevitably lose energy." Fang Jue said.

After the players of both sides warmed up, they returned to the locker room for the final preparations and arrangements before the game.

……

About half an hour later.

A huge uproar erupted at Villa Park.

This is when players from both sides come in.

The commentator is also introducing the starting lineups for both sides.

Manchester United line-up:

Goalkeepers: Foster;

Defence: Fabio, O'Shea, Evans, Patrice Evra;

Midfielders: Valencia, Fletcher, Scholes, Nani;

Forwards: Wayne Rooney, Berbatov;

'The biggest change for Manchester United is at the back.

'O'Shea is again playing at centre-back because of Rio Ferdinand's injury.

O'Shea is definitely a super jack-of-all-trades player.

He's played in a lot of positions, whether it's full-back, centre-back, midfielder, striker and even goalkeeper.

……

Aston Villa line-up:

Goalkeeper: 31-Robert. Enke;

Backline: 24-Cuellar, 6-Senderos, 15-Davies, 8-Milner;

Midfielders: 10-Deisler, 19-Petrov, 5-Clement, 27-Gareth. Bel;

Forwards: 9-Ruud van Nistelrooy, 25-Diego. Costa;

"Huh?" Lineker was surprised when he noticed that Aston Villa's forward line was not a partnership between Agbonlaho and Ruud van Nistelrooy.

"Diego. Costa was a surprise appearance in the starting lineup. ”

In addition, there is one more change to the Aston Villa backline.

That is centre-back Cuellar playing at right-back.

'There is no news of Lukyan's injury and it seems that the choice of Cuellar at right-back is more of a tactical choice.

"What the hell is this guy?" In the away team's dugout, Ferguson glanced at it and said.

His focus is on the front line.

Fang Jue finally sent Ruud van Nistelrooy to start, which was not beyond Ferguson's expectations.

He was surprised by the one called Diego. Costa's youngsters replaced Abonlaho and partnered Ruud van Nistelrooy.

It's a forward configuration that Aston Villa have never used before.

In fact, in the past few days, Manchester United have been working on how to deal with the forward configuration of Ruud van Nistelrooy and Abonlahor in training.

Don't look at Ferguson's disparagement of Vanney as useless, but the old man knows best how terrible this former disciple is.

Experienced, the ability to grab points is too strong.

Plus a strangely fast, but small tank-like Abang Laho.

Aston Villa's forward configuration makes Ferguson dare not underestimate it.

But I didn't expect Abang Lajo to sit on the bench, and Costa appeared in the starting lineup.

This has rendered some of United's tactical arrangements useless.

……

It's been a while since the game started.

Fang Jue's attention was on Rooney's body.

Manchester United's squad appears to be a two-striker line-up.

However, Rooney's location is quite flexible.

He will swim to two flanks.

Sometimes it retreats quite deeply, becoming a link between Berbatov and the midfield.

It's a bit like a duo of Rooney and Paul Scholes.

Fang Jue was thinking.

An attack from Manchester United came.

Rooney was on the wing again.

He broke through with the ball.

Cuellar struggled a little in the face of Wayne Rooney's breakthrough.

Fortunately, Petrov came to help and pulled Rooney down.

Referee Webb's whistle blew for a foul on Aston Villa.

……

For this key battle between the fourth place in the league and the second place in the league, the English FA also attaches great importance to it and arranges for Webb, the number one golden whistle in England, to enforce the law.

Manchester United were awarded a free-kick in front.

Wayne Rooney got up and wanted a quick free-kick.

However, a man stood in his way.

It's Van Nistelrooy.

Rooney looked at Van Nistelrooy, who was standing in front of him.

By the time Ruud van Nistelrooy left United, Wayne Rooney had already grown into one of the club's biggest stars.

Although the media generally believes that Van Nistelrooy was swept away by Ferguson because of the conflict with Ronaldo.

However, it is undeniable that Rooney's rapid growth is also a reason that forced the Dutch veteran to leave Spain.

More than three years have passed, but I didn't expect to see Ruud van Nistelrooy wearing an Aston Villa shirt as an opponent in the Premier League.

Rooney motioned for Vanney to get out of the way.

Fanny glanced at the junior and ignored it.

Rooney raised his hand to signal to the referee.

The referee came up and told Ruud van Nistelrooy to walk away, and the Dutch veteran slowly recoiled back next to Cuellar and formed a double wall with him.

'The Dutchman was very excited today and he just went all the way back to defend and that's rare.

……

A free-kick in front of Manchester United.

Wayne Rooney runs and crosses and the ball flies into the box.

Berbatov tried to grab the point.

One jumped higher than him and pushed the ball out.

"Sendros! Nice header! ”

United's attack is not over.

Fletcher appears at the drop point of the ball and stops the ball.

The Aston Villa defenders were just about to press out en masse when they saw Fletcher get the ball.

As a result, they had no choice but to stay in front of goal to prepare for United's second attack.

Milner immediately rushed in, it was a dangerous position and Fletcher couldn't afford to get the ball there easily.

Fletcher didn't dwell on Milner either.

He passed the ball to Scholes, who came to pick him up.

Scholes dribbled laterally and then got up to shoot.

But suddenly the football was stuffed to the side.

Nani had already rushed up and he crossed straight in.

Wayne Rooney was in front of him, and he stretched out his foot to rub the football.

This caused chaos in front of the door.

In the midst of the scramble, Berbatov ghostly appeared in front of the football, turned and shot.

……

"Shoot!"

The ball was blocked by Senderos with his body.

Fang Jue was taken aback by Berbatov's shot.

The Bulgarian, who has a lazy style of play, has a strong ability to take chances in front of goal.

Fortunately, Senderos completed the block on the goal line at a crucial moment.

Ferguson frowned.

Senderos's header just now was hard against Berbatov.

Now it's another goal-line save.

That Swiss kid really rejuvenated under Fang Jue's hands?

How did this guy do it?

……

The ball popped up and was picked up by an Aston Villa player.

Aston Villa took the opportunity to launch a counter-offensive.

However, their ball was stopped by O'Shea just after half-time.

At the same time, Fabio, Evra and others have returned to the defense at high speed.

Aston Villa's counter-attack came to an abrupt end.

The quick counter-attack did not start, and Aston Villa had no choice but to continue to retreat.

Fang Jue blinked, and Ferguson arranged for O'Shea to play at central defender, but in fact, this player had a considerable defensive area.

Ferguson made the most of O'Shea's golden characteristics, with centre-back Evans staying behind and O'Shea pressing up and even playing as a midfielder.

It also gave Fabio, Patrice Evra and others time to come back to the defence.

Fang Jue had to admit that Jiang was still old and spicy.

With both Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic injured, United's centre-backs were a weakness.

However, O'Shea's cameo as a central defender was instead played by Ferguson.
