Although there are only three minutes left before the end of the game, Manchester City, who are behind, still have a chance to equalize! Because if the extra time is included, there may be almost ten minutes of game time. Throughout the second half of the game, Aston Villa committed quite a lot of fouls, and the game was always in a fragmented state. The referee Anthony Taylor will definitely give a long extra time. So. For Manchester City, who are behind, it should not be a problem to score a goal in the last ten minutes or so! Moreover, Guardiola still has a chance to make a substitution. Dean Smith has three chances to make substitutions! However, in the last moments of the game, neither coach made a substitution. For Dean Smith, the reason why he did not choose to make substitutions is that the team's strongest players have already started, and Aston Villa made a large number of personnel rotations in the Championship last Sunday in order to fully prepare for the FA Cup semi-final with Manchester City.

At present, the physical strength of the Aston Villa players on the field has not been consumed too much, and they can continue to play!

In addition, Aston Villa is still in the leading state, and the starting players on the field have basically adapted to the rhythm of the game.

If you make substitutions rashly, it may break the balance with Manchester City!

So Dean Smith chose to stay put.

For Guardiola, he wanted to give up this game.

Although Manchester City and Aston Villa are only one goal apart, as long as Manchester City players push the football into the opponent's half, Aston Villa players will definitely interfere with the players with the ball in a very short time!

And the defensive actions of Aston Villa players are very large!

It is very likely to cause injuries to Manchester City players!

Once the main players like De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva are injured, it will inevitably affect Manchester City and Tottenham's Champions League knockouts! It will even affect Manchester City's league results!

In the current Premier League, although Manchester City is temporarily ranked first in the standings, the gap between Liverpool, the second place in the league, and Manchester City is only one point! !

If you are not careful, Liverpool is likely to overtake!

In order to keep the league and the Champions League, Guardiola must give up the FA Cup.

89 minutes and 50 seconds.

The fourth referee raised the time card for the second half of the extra time.

7 minutes.

The referee Anthony Taylor gave the two teams seven minutes of extra time!

But Manchester City players did not choose to fight Aston Villa.

They did not press the attack.

Seven minutes later, the referee Anthony Taylor blew the whistle to end the game.

Aston Villa, playing at home, successfully defeated Manchester City, who was killing all over the Premier League, 3:2 and successfully entered the FA Cup final!

In the stands of Villa Stadium!

More than 30,000 Villa fans went crazy.

They waved their hands frantically and gave warm applause to every home team player!

"Beautiful!! You are the pride of Villa!"

"We defeated the strongest team in the Premier League!! We have reason to believe that Aston Villa can win the FA Cup!"

"Every player is great! Keep going!"

"The most exciting game! Our players restricted Manchester City's passing and control by running continuously!"

"The team that ended Manchester City's winning streak is our Aston Villa!!"

...

In the studio of Dongqiu.com, commentator Zhan Jun shouted into the microphone: "The biggest upset of the FA Cup this season!!"

"Zhang Zhi, what do you think is the key to Aston Villa's victory tonight?"

After the game, Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu began to analyze the game.

"The most important thing is that every Villa player ran tirelessly! In addition, Manchester City players underestimated Aston Villa's strength."

"Especially when Aston Villa equalized the score, Guardiola did not make effective adjustments."

"Although De Bruyne and Aguero also came on as substitutes, according to my observation, these two players did not play their true strength."

"Of course, the performance of other Manchester City players was also average. They seemed to be afraid of physical confrontation with Aston Villa players and were afraid of getting injured. Maybe here

Before the game started, Guardiola specifically emphasized to Manchester City players to be careful of injuries..."

At this moment.

In Villa Park, when Anthony Taylor blew the whistle to end the game, almost all Aston Villa players collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily!

They were too tired!

Throughout the game, Aston Villa players have been keeping a high level of attention and running continuously...

Even after the game, many players suffered muscle strains...

At the post-match press conference, Aston Villa coach Dean Smith was very excited.

He said to the reporter who interviewed him in a hoarse voice: "This is a war of attrition! As we all know, Manchester City is obviously stronger than our Villa."

"But, we successfully defeated Manchester City in the 90-minute game, and I am proud of every starting player! They did something that some Premier League teams can't do! "

Afterwards, Manchester City coach Guardiola also conducted an interview with reporters.

Guardiola, who lost the game, was obviously in a very bad mood. He said in a very helpless tone: "I don't want to say anything about this game. Our players are too tired! We played three games in almost ten days! This is really too much for us!"

"Manchester City needs to focus on the Champions League and the Premier League this season, which requires us to abandon the FA Cup."

"Of course, Aston Villa's performance tonight was very good, especially their No. 10 and No. 33 players, which impressed me!"

Guardiola continued: "I believe that with Aston Villa's current strength, they are fully capable of winning the Championship League and may also win the final championship in the FA Cup. They have such ability. "

Although Guardiola's team lost today's game, he still praised Aston Villa.

After the press conference, a large number of fans and media discussed Villa's brilliant performance!

It can be said that Aston Villa fans are now walking sideways in the online forums, and almost all English media are crazy about Aston Villa's performance.
