Football: God-level midfielder, Haaland is stunned

After 90 minutes of play, Aston Villa easily defeated Blackburn Rovers at home with a score of 5 to 1! So far, the team has won 11 consecutive victories in the Championship. After the game. Dean Smith went to the press conference, while Xia Yuan came to the outside of the stadium to chat with Reba. "Yes! Big star! You played well! You can even score a goal!" Reba looked at Xia Yuan with admiration in her big eyes. Xia Yuan smiled awkwardly: "It's OK, just general operation."

"By the way! How did you have time to come to London?"

"To shoot a photo album!"

"By the way, I came to see you! Hehe!" After Reba finished speaking, she showed a bright smile.

Xia Yuan looked at his watch and responded: "It's getting late! I have to go back to practice! The schedule next week is quite intensive, let's talk when we have time! Bye!"

"Hey!"

Reba looked at Xia Yuan's back as he ran away, feeling both ridiculous and angry!

After this game, Aston Villa's ranking also rose from fourth to third!

At present, the top four rankings of the English Championship are as follows:

First place: Norwich 20 wins, 13 draws, 6 losses, 73 points

Second place: Leeds United 19 wins, 15 draws, 5 losses, 72 points

Third place: Aston Villa 18 wins, 15 draws, 6 losses, 69 points

Fourth place: West Bromwich 17 wins, 15 draws, 7 losses, 66 points.

It can be seen that Aston Villa is only four points away from Norwich, the first in the league! It is only three points away from the second place!

There are only seven games left before the end of the English Championship. In these seven remaining games, Aston Villa will have a direct chance to compete with Norwich, the first place, and Leeds United, the second place!

As long as Aston Villa ensures that all the remaining 7 games are won, the team still has a great chance to win the championship!

After the team finishes the game with Blackburn Rovers, the next game will be away to face Sheffield Wednesday.

Sheffield Wednesday is currently ranked 17th in the English Championship.

A relegation team.

Judging from Aston Villa's current state, there is almost no problem in beating Sheffield Wednesday away.

However, what makes head coach Dean Smith more worried is the FA Cup.

After Aston Villa defeated Brighton 3-2 at home, they successfully reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup!

And Aston Villa's opponent in the semi-finals is the Premier League champion, Manchester City!

Currently.

Manchester City ranks first in the Premier League under the coaching of the world-famous coach Guardiola!

The fighting power is quite strong!

From the perspective of player strength, Aston Villa is not Manchester City's opponent at all!

Even many Aston Villa fans proposed to the club to give up the semi-final with Manchester City.

But,

Dean Smith did not adopt this opinion.

He decided to compete with Manchester City!

Dean Smith does not think that Aston Villa has no possibility of winning.

Although Manchester City is stronger than Aston Villa in terms of player strength, Manchester City needs to fight on three fronts this season.

Not only do they have to play in the Premier League, but they also have to play in the Champions League and the FA Cup.

This will be a huge test for the physical fitness of Manchester City players! Moreover! Guardiola is likely to rotate players in the FA Cup!

In addition, the cup is not a league, and only one game is needed to determine the winner! Everything is possible!

Moreover! In addition to Manchester City and Aston Villa, the other two teams that have entered the FA Cup semi-finals this season are Watford and Wolves!

In other words, as long as Aston Villa can beat Manchester City, there is a great possibility that they will defeat the winner between Wolves and Watford and win the championship directly!

In order to prepare the team for the game against Manchester City with all their heart and soul, Dean Smith directly decided to send a substitute to face Sheffield Wednesday!

Xia Yuan did not follow the team to the away game, but trained at the base to prepare for Manchester City.

Dean Smith has only one training tactic.

Counterattack!

He asked his players to retreat to the half court to defend after the game started, and use the iron bucket defense to limit Manchester City's attack!

So, in the past few days, Xia Yuan has been training his defense and pressing ability.

Three days later.

The match between Aston Villa and Sheffield Wednesday started.

Xia Yuan, Gra

Lish, Abraham and other players were not included in the team's roster, but the team still won away.

Midfielder McGinn scored a goal against Sheffield Wednesday with a long shot in the 34th minute, and Aston Villa won the game with McGinn's long shot.

1 goal win over Sheffield Wednesday.

As Norwich, the first place, and Leeds United, the second place, also won in this round, Aston Villa is still ranked third in the league.

Next, Aston Villa will focus all its attention on the battle with Manchester City!

Whether in England or in Xiaguo, a lot of media are talking about the upcoming game!

Sky Sports: "The FA Cup is about to start! Aston Villa will face the defending Premier League champions, Manchester City, at home! Can Aston Villa, who have won 12 consecutive games in the Championship, beat Manchester City? Let's wait and see!"

Daily Mail: "Guardiola's team is about to usher in a busy schedule! Three days ago, they just finished the game with Cardiff City! Now, Manchester City is facing the FA Cup semi-finals! And three days later, Manchester City will play against Tottenham in the Champions League quarter-finals! The tired Manchester City may be in the FA Cup. Cup rotation!"

The Times: "Aston Villa is about to face its strongest opponent this season! As long as Villa can successfully beat Manchester City, they will have a chance to win the FA Cup!"

Dongqiu.com: "Can Aston Villa with Xia Yuan continue to perform miracles? The Premier League overlord is coming! The focus battle is about to be staged at Villa Park!"

Sports Weekly: "Xia Yuan vs. De Bruyne! The 17-year-old Xia Yuan is about to face the Premier League defending champion Manchester City!"

...

The day before the game.

At the pre-match press conference.

Guardiola attended with Sterling.

Guardiola was full of confidence in the upcoming game.

"Although Manchester City's season is very intensive recently, we need to play two games a week, and it will last for nearly a month! This will be a huge test for the players' physical fitness."

"Many media believe that I will rotate personnel in tomorrow's game because the opponent is just a Championship team. Yes, I will make adjustments to individual positions, but this does not mean that we will give up the FA Cup."

Sterling: "As the coach said, we will give the fans a happy game."
