Football: God-level midfielder, Haaland is stunned

The ball was kicked into the upper left corner of the goal!

It was almost a dead corner!

Although Manchester City goalkeeper Bravo performed very well tonight and made many world-class saves, Grealish's shot was too tricky this time.

The Chilean could only sigh at the ball!

"Grealish scored a goal!!"

"Penalty hit!"

"Aston Villa equalized the score!"

"2:2!!"

"At the end of the first half, Grealish made the score 2:2!!"

"This is Grealish's second goal in this game! He scored twice!"

Zhan Jun was very excited.

It was as if he had scored the penalty.

Equally excited were the tens of thousands of Villa fans in the stands of Villa Park.

Jack Grealish's name resounded over the stands.

"I knew it! Grealish can do it! He helped Aston Villa score a golden goal!"

"Beautiful! Jack withstood the huge pressure! He is the greatest player I have ever seen!"

"Keep it up! Equalizing the score is not Aston Villa's goal! We want to reach the FA Cup final!"

...

Grealish was also very excited after scoring the goal!

It is not an easy thing to take a penalty!

This requires the player to be extremely strong in heart! Moreover, the goalkeeper Grealish faced was Bravo, who made many saves tonight! The pressure must be very great!

After Grealish scored, he first shouted, trying to release his suppressed emotions as much as possible, and then ran to the corner flag area to dance a funny dance!

After the restart, when Manchester City was about to start, referee Anthony Taylor blew the whistle to end the first half.

2:2.

Aston Villa, playing at home, relied on Grealish's double goal to temporarily tie with the Premier League overlord Manchester City.

After returning to the locker room.

Aston Villa coach Dean Smith was very satisfied with his disciples' performance!

He roared excitedly at the first time: "Boys, I am proud of you!"

"We tied with the arrogant Manchester City in the first 45 minutes! Although there are still 45 minutes before the end of the game, I believe that as long as you show the competitive state of the first half, we will definitely beat Manchester City!"

At this moment, the website for understanding football is almost all about the news of this game!

"Aston Villa, playing at home, miraculously tied with Manchester City in the first half! Grealish scored twice! Xia Yuan turned into a defensive iron gate! 》

In the comment area.

Xia Guo fans are still very satisfied with Aston Villa's performance! The comment area is almost full of praise!

"Well done! Aston Villa is really awesome! They are not afraid of Manchester City at all!"

"Although Manchester City has a lot of possession, Aston Villa's iron bucket formation is still difficult to break!"

"Keep playing like this! Villa, playing at home, still has a great chance of winning!"

"It depends on whether Manchester City will send out De Bruyne, Aguero and other main players in the second half!"

"Although the player who helped Aston Villa score two goals was Grealish, to be honest, if Xia Yuan hadn't played well, the team would have lost!"

"No more words! Let's go head-to-head with Manchester City in the second half!"

...

Fifteen minutes later.

The second half of the Aston Villa vs. Manchester City game officially started.

Manchester City coach Guardiola did not make any substitutions. Of course, Dean Smith did not make any substitutions on the Aston Villa side either!

Both coaches chose to stay put!

After the game started, Manchester City had the ball.

Jesus immediately passed the ball to Bernardo Silva in the middle, who did not hesitate but immediately passed the ball to Sterling!

It seems that Manchester City

The attack is still mainly based on breaking through the wing.

However, Sterling couldn't find any chance at this moment.

Because since the start of the second half, all Aston Villa's offensive players have been in the midfield!

Obviously!

Head coach Dean Smith wants to defend!

The moment Sterling received the ball, the full-back Hutton and the midfielder Xia Yuan immediately appeared in front of Sterling!

After a little hesitation, Sterling suddenly stepped on his right foot!

He did not choose to pass the ball.

Instead, he chose to force a breakthrough!

To be honest, Sterling has such a breakthrough ability.

Two seconds!

This time Sterling took less than two seconds to flash past the eyes of Aston Villa's full-back Hutton!

But!

When Sterling wanted to attack Aston Villa's penalty area, he hit the steel plate!

On the left side of the penalty area, Xia Yuan immediately interfered with Sterling.

Still the old method!

He used his shoulder to hit Sterling's shoulder hard!

"Xia Yuan!"

"Xia Yuan's key defense again!"

"He used his body to block Sterling's progress!"

In the Douyin studio, commentator He Wei couldn't help but praise: "Xia Yuan performed so well tonight. Whether it is defense or offense, you can see Xia Yuan's figure!"

"Sterling, as the top winger in the Premier League, completely failed in this confrontation with Xia Yuan!"

"You can imagine how good Xia Yuan's defensive ability is!"

Although that's what he said, the reason why Xia Yuan was able to stop Sterling's breakthrough this time was largely due to Hutton's defense.

In order to completely get rid of Hutton, Sterling accelerated too much and dribbled the ball a little too far!

This gave Xia Yuan, who was behind, a chance to defend!

On the court.

Xia Yuan directly knocked Sterling to the ground.

The referee Anthony Taylor still did not make any penalty, and he signaled the game to continue!

So, Xia Yuan showed his excellent long pass talent without any hesitation!

Bang! !

He hit the bottom of the ball with his right foot.

In a moment.

After crossing the half court, the ball successfully landed on the head of striker Abraham!

Another good opportunity for Aston Villa to counterattack!

However, this time, the Manchester City central defender, who had learned from the previous experience, did not give Abraham a chance.

In a moment.

Two central defenders Otamendi and Laporte appeared in front of the Aston Villa center forward at the same time.
