In recent years, Manchester City has maintained a win-win against Aston Villa, drawing two and winning two of their four away games, and winning all of them at home, which is also the only advantage that Manchester City has won in the past few years.

Aston Villa's head coach is McLeish, who once coached Scotland's king Glasgow Rangers, and after five tumultuous seasons at Glasgow Rangers, McLeish became Scotland's manager.

However, when he received an offer from a Premier League team, the ambitious manager immediately resigned from the Scottish national team to take charge of the Premier League team at Birmingham.

At Birmingham, McLeish's management continued to be up and down, with Birmingham's relegation in the first season having little to do with him, and in the second season, McLeish led the team back to the Premier League.

However, last season, Birmingham were relegated again, and although the Birmingham board still wanted McLeish to remain at the helm of Birmingham, they were ruthlessly rejected by McLeish.

And just five days after turning down a contract at Birmingham, the Scottish coach, who dreams of becoming a Premier League manager, took over the reins of Aston Villa.

Birmingham and Aston Villa are bitter enemies in the same city, and Birmingham fans who originally supported McLeish began to hate him for defecting to his sworn enemy, and Aston Villa fans were not willing to accept McLeish, who had defected from his sworn enemy.

In particular, Aston Villa's results this season have been unsatisfactory, which has made fans even more disliked by the Scottish coach who has targeted Ferguson.

Even Villa fans have set up an anti-McLeish association, and with the rapid expansion of the league, there are now fans chanting for McLeish to get out of class in almost every home game.

And that's not all, McLeish's relationship with the player is not very good, just in the last game, he had a fierce argument with Manchester City veteran Ireland on the sidelines, and this is not the first time, it is conceivable that McLeish is in Aston Villa's situation at the moment.

When the players from both sides came on the pitch, there was a huge boo at Villa Park, but this was not Manchester City's, perhaps not all for Manchester City, at least, the Villa manager himself accounted for half.

It is good for the water to flow to the lower places and the people to go to the higher places, but McLeish is too anxious, and in the face of Aston Villa, who is worried about internal and external troubles, Van Basten and his disciples have no intention of staying at all.

City came close to breaking the deadlock just two minutes after receiving Gardner's pass and Robbie Keane breaking down the flank and being denied by Zabaleta.

Since the Irish striker's high-priced transfer to Liverpool, his performance has been worse year by year, and he has been close to West Ham United, but unfortunately West Ham United was eventually relegated, and Robbie Keane left the major leagues in the United States to join Beckham.

In this winter, not only did Henry return, but the Irish striker, who had been away from the Premier League for half a month, also returned to the Premier League on loan, but his return did not make any waves at all, and he, like Henry, only returned briefly and will soon return to play in the major leagues.

After the ball was cut off by Zabaleta, Manchester City immediately turned to attack, Zabaleta pushed directly to Bari, who sent it forward, and the ball came to the feet of Li Feng.

Li Feng didn't look up at all, and with a big kick, the ball crossed the entire midfield and found Silva with precision, and the diminutive Silva sent the ball to the feet of Aguero with a header.

In this game, Balotelli did not appear in the squad because of a cold, as the so-called life is endless, and death continues, Balotelli implemented these eight words very thoroughly.

But no one blamed him for his death, for it was a good deed, and once he went out, Balotelli saw a beggar in thin clothes, so the kind-hearted Balotelli gave away his clothes worth thousands of pounds.

This kind of thing is estimated to be done by Balotelli, for this~~~ Van Basten can say anything but a wry smile, so Balotelli stayed in Manchester.

Aguero unloaded the ball and turned around, the action was in one go, and the flow was very beautiful, but the final shot was a little too positive, and was directly hugged by Given.

"Hahaha~~~ Aguero's movements are so handsome, but it's a pity that the goal is too positive, if Aguero can adjust it slightly, or Manchester City have broken the deadlock at the moment."

City's counter-attack startled McLeason, who had just sat down, and rushed straight out of the bench, shouting loudly from the sidelines to keep the Villa players focused.

The effect of this tossing and turning was still very obvious, and for some time afterward, under the full defense of the Villa players, Manchester City never got any chances.

However, the situation on the pitch is completely indicative of the situation between the two teams, and if Aston Villa have been defending like this, it will definitely be a matter of time before they concede goals.

Even if it is a bus, Manchester City also has a way to break the goal, unless Manchester City is run away by Lady Luck, or with the long-range shooting ability of the Manchester City team, it is useless for Aston Villa to put the bus like this.

Indeed, Aston Villa resisted for 40 minutes, but as the first half was about to end, Li Feng's long-range strike made Villa's entire first-half effort useless.

In the 43rd minute of the first half, Lescott suddenly cut in from behind, disrupted the Villa defence, and then sent a kick to the feet of Adam Johnson, who cut across the penalty area, and for a while the Villa defense was in turmoil, and Adam Johnson pushed it to Silva.

However, no one paid attention at this time, and a figure was inserting at high speed near the center circle, the dark blue No. 7, which was Manchester City's third set of shirts this season, neutral jerseys, and the first time that Manchester City players wore this shirt this season.

"The wind rushed up, the wind rushed up, the deadly killer ~~~ Manchester City showed its sharp minions, the wind ~~~ For this moment, he endured for more than ten minutes, and since thirty minutes, he has almost never entered Villa's hinterland, he has not attacked with the ball, and he almost disappeared in Villa's half."

"Shot~~~Long Shot~~~GOAL~~~ The ball went in, Manchester City finally broke Aston Villa's turtle shell, a long shot that no one could stop, the speed was too fast, and when the Villa players reacted, the ball was already lying in the goal."

"Manchester City broke the deadlock, Li Feng ~~ It was Li Feng who broke the deadlock for Manchester City, this is the most valuable point of Li Feng, whenever the team needs someone to stand up, he will always stand up as soon as possible."

On the sidelines, the manager of Aston Villa looked a little angry, and there was no way, holding on to those 40 minutes only to concede a goal in the final moments, no wonder he was so out of shape.

With this goal, Manchester City finally went into the half-time break with a 1-0 advantage. (To be continued.) )
