[Now Sports]In Aston Villa‘s 1:0 victory over Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday, Sanso, who was loaned from Manchester United this summer, came on as a reserve in the first half and was unhappy when he was substituted in the second half. Team manager Aymari insisted after the game that this was a plan that the two had communicated and it was not that the winger did not play well. Due to Buendia’s injury, Jadon Sancho was substituted in the 29th minute of the first half, but in the 74th minute of the second half, Aymari replaced him with Kisan. He looked quite disappointed when he walked to the sidelines, and Aymari caught him to explain, but the winger on loan from Manchester United did not seem to appreciate it.
After the game, when asked about Sancao’s reaction and this transfer, Aymari said: “This decision is indeed not easy, but first of all, I consider that Sancao played 60 minutes in the European Cup last Thursday. Even though his physical condition has improved, it is not enough. Secondly, my previous plan with him was to let him play in the next game. He played at halftime, but after Buendia was injured, we decided to let him come off early to increase game time and physical fitness, and to give full play to his skills and abilities, and his performance was good, but before I replaced him, I knew that he would be replaced in the second half. I have done this before with Morgan Rogers and Buandia.”
The Aston Villa manager later added: “This is not a punishment, but a plan, which is to let him play for 45 minutes. The other reserve players are also ready, such as Mullen, Machen and Barkley, they all performed very well.”
In addition, talking about this victory, Amali was proud of the performance of the players and the cheers of the home fans, and said that to defeat a team like Manchester City, all details must be correct, and the team’s tactical execution in this game was perfect in his mind.
