The match day.

At 7:30 pm.

At Villa Park, Aston Villa fans in the stands have started singing the team song "Hi-ho Aston Villa".

The fans are eagerly waiting for the start of the battle.

Xia Dongguo and Huang Caiyun also came to their seats, looking forward to the start of the game.

Especially Xia Yuan's father, Xia Dongguo.

As soon as he entered the Villa Stadium, he kept shooting short videos with his mobile phone.

Quite excited.

In contrast, Xia Yuan's mother Huang Caiyun was much calmer and kept refreshing the news of Aston Villa on her mobile phone.

Check whether Xia Yuan is on the starting list.

At this moment.

In the home team's locker room.

Dean Smith announced the starting lineup.

Unfortunately, Xia Yuan was not in the starting lineup.

This was actually a result that Xia Yuan had expected long ago, although he performed very well in the team training match two days ago.

He even made two assists.

However.

He is too young and has just joined the team.

Moreover, the midfielder's position is quite special.

Midfielders need to make a lot of passes and cuts with the forwards and the back line in the game, and are the core of the team's offense and defense conversion.

If they rush to the field without running-in, there is a high probability of mistakes.

Although Dean Smith is a coach who likes to use young people, he dare not let Xia Yuan start directly.

At eight o'clock in the evening.

The game between Aston Villa and Ipswich officially started.

At present, Aston Villa ranks eighth in the Championship, while their opponent Ipswich ranks 11th in the league.

The difference between the two teams is only 6 points.

It's still relatively close.

After the game started,

both sides immediately launched a fierce attack!

It was quite intense.

The big and fierce game also immediately ignited the emotions of the fans on the scene.

Although Xia Yuan was not selected as the starting player, Xia Dongguo in the stands was still very excited!

Every time Aston Villa launched an attack, Xia Dongguo shouted louder than anyone else, and his voice became hoarse after a while.

Finally.

In the 18th minute of the game.

Aston Villa successfully scored the first goal.

After receiving the ball, midfielder McGinn used the change of rhythm to successfully get rid of the interference of two Ipswich midfielders. Immediately afterwards, McGinn saw Grealish who was unguarded on the left!

After receiving the ball, the latter immediately showed his talent!

Although Grealish likes to have fun in the bar every day, his personal ability is indeed outstanding.

After pedaling twice, he successfully broke through the Ipswich defender, and the next second!

Grealish forced a long shot towards the opponent's goal!

Bang! !

A powerful long shot!

The football was like a missile, successfully breaking through the Ipswich goal.

One to zero! !

After Grealish scored, he immediately danced a very "graceful" dance! Quite funny!

On the bench.

After seeing Grealish score, Xia Yuan also waved his towel wildly at the first time!

He was really happy for Grealish.

After the restart, Ipswich, who was playing away, suddenly pressed forward to attack!

In the next ten minutes.

Ipswich players launched a fierce bombardment towards Aston Villa's goal.

Obviously.

Ipswich did not want to lose.

Under the violent attack.

Aston Villa's defense line also began to make frequent mistakes.

In the 31st minute of the game.

Aston Villa lost the ball.

Ipswich's wing player Towns, who is only 20 years old, relied on his speed advantage and used the rhythm change to successfully pass the Aston Villa full-back.

Towns did not choose to cut in and shoot like Grealish did.

Instead, he chose to pass the ball!

Cross with the right foot!

Bang!

The football fell in front of the goal at a high speed.

After Ipswich's striker Will Keane grabbed the first point, he resolutely headed the ball!

The football went into the net! !

This 188cm tall center forward successfully used a header to break the Aston Villa goal.

One to one!

The two sides tied.

The tactical play of the Ipswich team is quite British.

There are not so many twists and turns.

Basically, every attack relies on crosses from the wing,

Use high balls to create threats to the opponent's goal.

And this time, they finally succeeded.

When Ipswich equalized the score, the situation of the game gradually became even.

In addition, in the first thirty minutes, the players of both teams attacked too fiercely, so that the physical fitness of the players on both sides declined more or less.

Finally.

The first half of the game ended.

Aston Villa temporarily tied Ipswich 1:1.

Xia Yuan was not idle on the bench, but was always observing Ipswich's defensive loopholes.

He keenly discovered that the turning speed of Ipswich's two central defenders Collins and Luke Chambers was very slow. If the football could be directly hit behind these two central defenders, it might be possible to directly threaten the opponent's goal.

During the halftime break, Xia Yuan also told Grealish his thoughts.

Shortly after the start of the second half, Grealish also frequently sent through balls, hoping to hit the football directly behind these two central defenders.

However!

Grealish's several passes were unsuccessful...

This made Xia Yuan on the bench very anxious.

And not long after, Ipswich, who was playing away, also began to exert its strength.

Midfield genius Trevo Chalobah showed his talent!

Trevo Chalobah is only 19 years old at present.

He is a young player trained by Chelsea's youth training camp and is currently on loan to Ipswich.

This season, Trevo Chalobah has scored 2 goals and 1 assist.

After receiving the ball in the midfield, the player suddenly chose to raise his foot and shoot at the top of the penalty area!

About 25 meters away!

Trevo Chalobah directly took a long shot! !

Bang! !

Aston Villa's midfielder Adomah did not keep up with Trevo Chalobah's pace and could only watch the young player complete the long shot.

At this time, the goalkeeper of Aston Villa was not Martin, but Lovre Kalinic.

A goalkeeper from Croatia.

Facing Treva Chalobah's long shot, Lovre Kalinic was unable to react. Although he made a save, the ball still flew into the goal he was guarding.

2-1!

Aston Villa, playing at home, fell behind by one goal!

After the restart, the players of Aston Villa naturally wanted to quickly equalize the score.

As the core of the team, Grealish frequently received the ball in the midfield.

But this time, when Grealish just received the ball, the Ipswich defender suddenly rushed in front of Grealish.

He knocked Grealish to the ground directly! !

And this player was Treva Chalobah who had just scored a goal!

As a young man, after scoring a goal, his adrenaline soared.

This also made him very active on the defensive end.

And this foul directly injured Grealish!
