Football nukes: a pound buys a club

Chapter 112 When a fellow meets a fellow, stabbed in the back

On August 8, Bury challenged Aston Villa away.

This is Bury's first game in the Premier League. Fortunately, Bury's opponent is Aston Villa, who was also promoted from the British Championship. He is an old acquaintance.

As the saying goes, when a fellow countryman meets a fellow countryman, he is stabbed in the back. If Bury wants to gain a firm foothold in the Premier League, such old acquaintances must not be let go.

In the last training session before the game, Zhang Chong said to the boys: "As the champions of the British Championship last season, our odds of winning the championship are even lower than Aston Villa and West Bromwich Albion. It is simply unacceptable for us. Fortunately, what we are best at is face punching, so in this game you have to prove those so-called experts wrong. Can you do it?"

The boys responded loudly: "It can be done!"

Zhang Chong clapped his hands with satisfaction: "Then look forward to your performance on the court!"

The match was also broadcast live on Sky Sports.

As sports commentators for Sky Sports, Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher, the old enemies, started the traditional bickering session before the game.

Carragher said: "Gary, who do you like in this game?"

Neville smiled: "Of course I am optimistic about my hometown team."

Carragher thought about it deliberately: "Your hometown team? Are you from Birmingham?"

Aston Villa are Birmingham's team.

Neville glared at him: "I think you are from Manchester, you should have joined Manchester United in the first place."

The two attacked each other lightly, and then Gary Neville returned to the topic: "I am naturally optimistic about Bury. Last season, he had a huge advantage in the British Championship, which is enough to prove that he is stronger than Ahmedabad. Stone Villa are much higher."

Carragher will always sing against Neville: "It is different from the past. Aston Villa's transfer operations this summer are amazing. They have strengthened their weaknesses and introduced many capable players. More Crucially, they also bought Watkins from Bury, which was a stroke of genius, killing two birds with one stone."

He glanced at Neville proudly: "Let's look at Bury again, sold three rotation players, but only bought a 17-year-old Frenchman and a semi-retired old man. Let's see this Frenchman Performance last season. Oh my goodness, only one goal in 3000 league games. I don't know why they pay over £3000m for a player like that. I think over £[-]m for both of us They are more useful than that kid!"

Gary Neville was a little annoyed by what he said, so he said angrily: "What's the use of talking so much, the game will start soon, let's see the real chapter on the field!"

In this game, Zhang Chong formed a 4231 formation. Goalkeeper Mendy, defenders Thread Sichu, Maguire, Skriniar, Klaus lined up, midfielder Kanter and Ali partnered, left forward Mba Pei, shadow forward Messias, right winger Gnabry, forward Antoine Hill.

At the beginning of the game, Bury turned away and suppressed Aston Villa in the half with his strong midfield strength.

Watkins wanted to prove himself in front of his old club in this game, but Aston Villa had very few offensive opportunities, and he had no chance to perform at all.

Maguire was beside him, laughing and laughing: "Ollie, are you familiar with Birmingham, won't you invite us to play after the game?"

Watkins' eyes widened: "Are you crazy? If the boss knows that you are still thinking about going out to play, why not destroy your humanity?"

Maguire shrunk his neck subconsciously, and smiled sarcastically: "Just kidding, just kidding..."

At this time, the football flew high from the backcourt, and Watkins jumped up hard to fight for the top. The iron tower behind him was like Mount Tai pressing down on the top, clearing the ball on top of his head!

Watkins felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. This former teammate's frontal defense ability is too strong!

The back line is as solid as Mount Tai, and the frontcourt players attack more recklessly.

No. In the 201st minute, Mbappe sprinted with the ball from the left side of the front court, passed a whole side defender, and shot directly from a small angle. The football was barely saved by the goalkeeper.

No. In the 207th minute, Mbappe cut in with the ball. Just when everyone thought he was going to shoot, he made a cross pass. Mesias, who followed up in the middle, pushed and hit the post.

No.307 minutes, Gnabry made a pass from the right, Antoine Hill headed the goal in the penalty area, the football was saved by the goalkeeper, and it fell right at Mbappe's feet!

Mbappe took a supplementary shot, and the football got into the net without any suspense!

In the first game representing Bury, Mbappe scored!

At the end of the first half, Bury led [-]-[-].

In the studio, Gary Neville happily said to Carragher: "Now you finally know why Bury paid more than 3000 million pounds for Mbappe, right?"

Carragher still stood there and said stiffly: "It's just so-so, Liverpool's Mane is much better than him..."

Gary Neville laughed: "You are sour, how old is Maned, how old is Mbappe?"

The situation in Bury is very good, which makes Neville vomit the depression before the game and occupy the commanding heights of words.

After the start of the second half, Aston Villa wanted to recover the disadvantage by changing formation, but with little effect.

The gap in strength made them have no chance at all. Instead, Bury became more and more courageous, constantly threatening the gate of Aston Villa.

No.601 minutes, Mesias dunked a defender in the middle, kicked a long shot, and the football flew out against the crossbar.

No. In the 604th minute, Cheng Sichu took a set kick in the frontcourt, Maguire headed the goal, and the football was confiscated by the goalkeeper.

And their onslaught quickly paid off. They scored another goal in the No.701 minute from Antoine Hill, leading [-]-[-]!

It is worth mentioning that this ball was assisted by Mbappe again!

As soon as Mbappe joined the team, he showed his strong strength, almost plug and play, no need to run in at all!

After two to zero, Aston Villa's fighting spirit was also disintegrated, and the game has no suspense since then.

With the whistle of the referee, the game ended. Bury won Aston Villa [-]-[-] and achieved the first Premier League victory in team history!

Gary Neville celebrated his victory in front of Carragher. Carragher looked helplessly at this old enemy who was also a friend, and a sentence flashed in his heart: 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi...

Watkins showed no performance in a game, and watched the celebration of his former teammates a little lonely.

Fortunately, his former teammates didn't forget him, and they hugged and greeted him one after another, which made him feel a little warm in his heart.

Zhang Chong also deliberately went over and patted him on the shoulder: "Ollie, come on, Ollie!"
