The team was in a state of panic, and the situation was very good.

"Mr. Dean Smith, what is your goal for tomorrow's game, a draw or a win?"

Faced with the reporter's question, Dean Smith thought for a while and replied: "Arsenal is a traditional strong team in England. To play against such a team, and playing away, to be honest, it will be very difficult."

Dean Smith paused for a while and continued: "However, Aston Villa has won five consecutive games in the Premier League. The team is in excellent form. I believe we will beat any opponent."

Although Dean Smith did not directly answer the reporter's question, he has also expressed Aston Villa's pursuit of this game from the side.

Afterwards, Xia Yuan also accepted an interview with the reporter.

"Xia, you are the hottest young player in the Premier League. It is said that Manchester City, Liverpool and even Manchester United are interested in signing you. Will you consider joining other teams after the winter transfer window opens?" The reporter who asked this question was from the London Sports Daily.

Obviously, this reporter hopes to influence the relationship between Xia Yuan and Aston Villa Club through this question.

Xia Yuan, who is a second-generation man, naturally saw through the reporter's thoughts at a glance.

"I only answer questions related to the game."

"Okay, do you think Arsenal will focus on defending you in the game? Everyone thinks you are the core of Aston Villa's midfield."

After hearing this question, Xia Yuan said coldly: "You should ask Arsenal's head coach Mr. Emery, not me."

After Xia Yuan finished speaking, he added: "For me personally, I still look forward to Arsenal focusing on defending me, because this will give my teammates better offensive opportunities. Of course, Arsenal's double-team defense will not have any effect on me."

When Xia Yuan's voice fell, the entire press conference hall instantly became quiet.

Especially the reporters sitting in the audience, they simply couldn't believe that Xia Yuan, who was only 17 years old, could be so confident.

Some reporters even thought that Xia Yuan was a little too frivolous, and their expressions were quite embarrassing.

Only Ma Fanshu, a reporter from the sports channel, gave Xia Yuan a thumbs up.

When Dean Smith and Xia Yuan finished their interview, Arsenal coach Emery and the team's top scorer Aubameyang also came to the scene.

"Mr. Emery, Aston Villa's coach just thought they would beat any team. What do you think about this?"

It was still the question from the reporter from the London Sports Daily.

After hearing this question, Emery did not respond immediately, but smiled at the reporter.

"Aston Villa has won five consecutive games in the new season and defeated Braga in Wednesday's game. They are indeed capable of saying this."

"Of course, the same is true for Arsenal. Arsenal will win the game tomorrow night. It's that simple."

The reporter from the London Sports Daily continued to ask: "The opponent's midfielder Xia Yuan said in the interview just now that no matter how Arsenal defends him, he has enough ability to lead the team to victory. What do you think of this 17-year-old player?"

Obviously, the reporter wanted to provoke a fight, but the experienced coach Emery did not fall into the trap.

"Xia is a player I admire very much. He is very young, only 17 years old, but he has become the core of a Premier League team. This is a very remarkable thing. We will focus on defending him in tomorrow's game. As for the effect, it depends on the result of the game."

...

The next day.

In the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal fans have begun to sing the team song "hot stuff! 》

The fans cheered for Arsenal players with loud singing. As Arsenal's home stadium, the Emirates Stadium can accommodate 60,000 fans to watch the game.

"Another mission?"

"It's a platinum card! As expected, the more difficult the mission, the better the reward!"

Xia Yuan was instantly refreshed when he saw that the system reward was a platinum card.
