The corner of the bench.
Xia Yuan was concentrating on observing everything that happened on the field.
To be honest, Xia Yuan did not expect Brighton's oppression to be so terrifying.
In the first 20 minutes, Aston Villa basically did not cause any interference to Brighton's goal.
On the other hand, Brighton.
Although it was an away game, the team's offensive tactics were very clear.
The focus has always been on passing from the wing.
High center forward Glenn Murray even scored twice in 20 minutes.
Aston Villa's defense was almost powerless.
In the stands of Villa Park, tens of thousands of Aston Villa fans were also a little restless.
There was tension in his eyes.
Unconsciously.
The game time came to the 32nd minute.
Brighton's players were still in control of the rhythm of the game.
After several consecutive passes, the ball came to Stephens' feet.
Aston Villa's defensive players are also in place!
Glenn Whelan and Hourihane.
These two players double-teamed!
Trying to steal from Stephens' feet.
But Stephens was very calm and composed.
Facing the interference of these two Aston Villa players, Stephens suddenly stepped on the brakes, followed by a 360-degree turn.
Easily got rid of!
The next second.
Stephens continued to dribble forward!
After seeing this, another midfielder of Aston Villa, McGinn, immediately rushed towards Stephens at the speed of a 100-meter sprint!
Once Stephens continues to dribble forward, it won't take long for this player to break into the penalty area!
At that time, Aston Villa's defense will suffer an epic blow! !
McGinn must stop Stephens no matter what! !
But he is still a step slower!
Bang! !
When McGinn just rushed in front of Stephens, the experienced player sent a straight pass.
A straight pass on the ground.
The football was like a sharp sword, instantly tearing through Aston Villa's defense.
In a flash.
Stephens' pass appeared at the feet of winger Knocket.
The latter drew his bow and arrow in the penalty area, flicked his left foot, and immediately shot! !
Bang! !
The football rubbed the right goal post and flew out of the bottom line.
Brighton missed the chance to score! !
In the stands, Aston Villa fans saw that the team's defense line was frequently hit by the opponent's fierce attack, and their mentality was quite nervous! !
"If Aston Villa continues like this, they will be slaughtered by Brighton!"
"Is this the pressure of the Premier League team? Too strong!"
"No chance at all!"
"Is Aston Villa so bad? This is impossible!!"
"This is the first time I see Grealish in such a dilemma!"
"If this continues! Aston Villa will definitely lose!"
"Can't defend, can't score... Aston Villa looks like it's really going to lose!"
In the Douyin live broadcast room, Xiaguo fans were also not optimistic about Aston Villa's prospects in this game.
On the bench.
As the team's head coach, Dean Smith had already panicked!
Before the game started, Coach Dean Smith had a hunch that it would be a difficult game.
However, Coach Dean Smith did not expect the gap between the two teams to be so big.
Before the first half, the team was already two goals behind, which undoubtedly disrupted the tactics formulated by Dean Smith before the game.
…
Ten minutes later.
Brighton, who had recovered, continued to bombard Aston Villa's goal.
This time Brighton launched an attack directly from the backcourt!
Central defender Dunk's long pass found Jahanbakhsh on the left with great accuracy!
This player from West Asia was very active tonight.
Several consecutive breakthroughs were impressive.
Now.
After Jahanbakhsh received the ball again on the wing, he also did not hesitate at all.
Directly dribbled the ball!
At the same time, the player took the initiative to physically confront Aston Villa's full-back!
Neil Taylor suffered a complete blow!
Jahanbakhsh's physique was like a small steel cannon, and he forcibly knocked Neil Taylor away.
After that, Jahanbakhsh immediately passed the ball.
The purpose of his pass was very clear!
That is to find Glenn Murray!
In a moment, the football flew to the penalty spot.
The Brighton center forward had already taken off!!
However, Aston Villa's defenders did not dare to be careless at all.
The two central defenders Elphick and Mings had already rushed to Glenn Murray's side.
The three players jumped at the same time!!
Finally, with the full defense of the Aston Villa central defender, the opponent's attack was successfully destroyed.
In the following time.
Brighton continued to use the two flanks to launch aerial bombardment towards Aston Villa's penalty area.
However, Aston Villa had all retreated to the half-court defense at this time.
Very sensible to set up an iron bucket formation.
This put a certain amount of pressure on Brighton's offense.
In the following time, Brighton did not find a particularly good offensive opportunity.
The first half of the game ended.
Brighton temporarily led Aston Villa 2-0.
After the halftime break.
Dean Smith was silent.
He didn't see any hope of winning in the first half of the game.
At this moment.
Dean Smith seemed to give up the FA Cup.
But before Dean Smith could speak, Xia Yuan suddenly stood up and made an impassioned speech to his teammates!
"Brothers! Don't give up!!"
"Although Brighton is very strong, it is Brighton after all, not Manchester City or Liverpool!"
"We are fully capable of defeating them!"
"In Xiaguo, there is a well-known saying, called the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road!"
"In the second half, we must play with the morale of Aston Villa! This is Villa Park! We want to present a great game to the fans on the scene!!"
...
Xiaguo, on the website of understanding football.
News editors also took advantage of the halftime break to publish a lot of news about Aston Villa vs. Brighton.
"After the first half! Aston Villa is two goals behind! Without Xia Yuan, Villa's offense stagnated! 》
《This is the importance of Xia Yuan! ! Aston Villa has no way to deal with strong teams! The fans in the stadium shouted Xia Yuan! 》
《First half statistics: Aston Villa's ball possession rate was only 23%! ! Shots 2:11! ! All-round lag! 》
《Dimensional strike! The mid-level Premier League team completely beat the Championship team! Aston Villa suffered a complete defeat! 》
《Xia Yuan is about to suffer his first defeat as a first-team player! Aston Villa is about to end the FA Cup! 》
