Football: God-level midfielder, Haaland is stunned

After the restart, there were only 5 minutes left in the regular time of the first half. After taking the lead, Manchester City did not choose to shrink and defend. After all, Manchester City is currently the strongest team in the English League. If it is only one goal ahead of Aston Villa, it will not satisfy the fans! So. In the last five minutes, Manchester City's players continued to press the opponent's back line with high pressure! Soon, under the continuous crazy rush of the three midfielders, Gundogan, Bernardo Silva and Delph, Aston Villa's midfielder made a pass error! When McGinn passed the ball back to Jedinak, the force was slightly weaker, which gave Gundogan, who was ambushing beside Jedinak, a chance to steal the ball!

The German international stretched out his foot first and successfully grabbed the ball before Jedinak!

Although Manchester City's tactics are mainly based on ball possession, when they get a chance to counterattack, they will play quite simply and directly!

After completing the steal, Gundogan did not hesitate at all and immediately sent a straight pass to the opponent's penalty area!

In a flash, the ball has successfully appeared at Sterling's feet!

In tonight's game, Sterling's condition is still quite good. Breaking through the wing can always put pressure on Aston Villa's defense, and just now he helped Manchester City score a goal.

"The ball is at Sterling's feet again!"

"Aston Villa's defensive players are also in place! They are Hutton and Xia Yuan!"

In order to stop Sterling's advance, Aston Villa also sent two defensive players to focus on interfering with Sterling, almost not giving Sterling any chance!

But despite this, Sterling did not stop his pace.

After receiving the ball with his right foot, he quickly made a trip!

Then he accelerated decisively!

In an instant, Sterling's explosive power was fully demonstrated.

Aston Villa's full-back Hutton could not keep up with Sterling's pace at all. The latter took less than 3 seconds to successfully get rid of a whole body!

When Sterling was about to force a cut into the Aston Villa penalty area to find a chance to shoot, he suddenly felt like his body was hit by a car!

It was Xia Yuan!

Xia Yuan stood up at the critical moment.

At the moment when Sterling was about to make a cut-in action, he immediately hit Sterling hard.

Xia Yuan knew Sterling's speed very well. If he rushed into the penalty area, the consequences would be disastrous!

In any case, Xia Yuan had to interfere! !

Sterling lost his balance instantly after being hit by Xia Yuan.

The ball was also controlled by another Aston Villa player who was assisting in defense.

"It was a close call! Thanks to Xia Yuan!"

"Xia Yuan's defense is still very stable! His confrontation ability is really strong!"

"Sterling hit the steel plate! Haha!"

"Xia Yuan is too important for Aston Villa. He is not only an offensive thigh, but also a defensive iron gate!"

"You must keep it stable, Villa! Don't let Manchester City score the third goal!"

Whether it is on the barrage of the ball net or the barrage of the Douyin live broadcast room, Xia Guo fans are very pleased with Xia Yuan's defense this time.

However, Xia Guo fans who watched the live broadcast also knew that Xia Yuan alone could not win the game.

Aston Villa needs more players to stand up.

43rd minute.

It was still Manchester City's attack.

Guardiola's team had entered a familiar offensive rhythm.

The three midfielders, Delph, Gundogan and Bernardo Silva, kept passing the ball, as if they were doing a circle-grabbing training on the court.

Although Aston Villa sent out five midfielders tonight, to be honest, these five midfielders could not grab the three midfielders of Manchester City at all.

With Gundogan's sharp through pass, Manchester City's attack once again spread to the opponent's penalty area.

This time it was the middle.

As a striker for Manchester City, Jesus' performance tonight was quite good.

Although he did not help Manchester City score a goal, his insertion and movement in the penalty area gave Aston Villa's defensive players a headache.

This time, Jesus chose to respond on the penalty area line.

He leaned against Aston Villa's central defender Elphick with his back and successfully received Gundogan's pass.

However, the Brazilian shooter did not directly

Instead of turning to shoot, he continued to pass the ball back to Bernardo Silva who was following up!

Jesus was just a feint! Bernardo Silva was the main attacker in this attack!

Bang!

After receiving the return pass from Jesus, Bernardo Silva immediately shot!

The ball went straight to Aston Villa's goal! !

Bang! ! !

The ball hit the goal post.

The goal post of Villa Park once again saved Aston Villa! !

After seeing this scene, commentator Zhan Jun couldn't help but tease: "Haha! It's worthy of being the goalpost of the home team. It has helped Aston Villa block two sure goals from Manchester City!"

"It seems that the goddess of luck is on Aston Villa's side tonight!"

"There are only two minutes left before the end of the first half. If you add the extra time, there may be about five minutes."

"Aston Villa needs to try not to lose the ball in these five minutes! Maintain the current score of 1:2 until the halftime break. In this way, there may be a chance in the second half."

In the stands of Villa Park, more than 30,000 Aston Villa fans shouted the team song - "Hi-ho Aston Villa" at the last moment of the first half.

Villa fans hope to use this method to inject strength into the players on the field!

And on the field.

Xia Yuan also kept clapping his teammates, and then roared loudly: "Hey! Boys! Let's hold on for a while!"

"Find an opportunity to counterattack! Although Manchester City is very strong, their defense also has loopholes!!"

"Show your determination to win!"

"This is Villa's stadium! We want to dedicate a great game to the fans in the stands!"

44th minute and 30 seconds.

The time for extra time has been announced.

3 minutes.

There are only 3 minutes left before the end of the first half.

At this moment, the ball is at Aston Villa's feet, or more accurately, at Xia Yuan's feet.

In the stands.

When Aston Villa fans saw Xia Yuan receive the ball, their voices singing the team song instantly became louder!

No doubt.

The fans are looking forward to Xia Yuan's miracle.

In the Douyin live broadcast room.

The commentator He Wei also deliberately raised the voice of the commentator.

"Aston Villa's central defender Elphick passed the ball to Xia Yuan in the middle. At this moment, Aston Villa's forward is running. Will Xia Yuan pass the ball?"
