Football: God-level midfielder, Haaland is stunned

The ball was blocked, but the opponent was still alive.

At this time, there was only one defensive player around Xia Yuan who was interfering.

It was Delph.

In tonight's game, Delph's main task was to defend Xia Yuan, but to be honest, Delph did not bring too much pressure to Xia Yuan.

This time was also the case.

When Delph appeared in front of Xia Yuan, Xia Yuan did not seem to feel any tension.

Xia Yuan calmly confronted Delph physically.

Xia Yuan's goal was very clear, that is, to give full play to his confrontation ability as much as possible.

Use his own confrontation to knock Delph down!

Xia Yuan succeeded.

He almost used all his strength and successfully knocked Delph away! !

Although he didn't knock Delph to the ground directly, he did make him stagger.

86's confrontation ability was fully demonstrated at this moment!

The referee of this game was Anthony Taylor.

In the previous game, Anthony Taylor had refereed the Aston Villa game, so Xia Yuan had a certain understanding of the penalty of this famous English referee.

He knew very well that with this level of physical confrontation, Anthony Taylor would definitely not call a foul with his experience.

As it turned out, it was true!

Anthony Taylor did not make any expression!

"Xia Yuan knocked Delph away!"

"His physical fitness is too good!"

"Just like a tank! No one can stop Xia Yuan from dribbling the ball!"

In the studio of Dongqiu.com, both the commentator Zhan Jun and the fans watching the live broadcast were extremely excited!

Although Xia Yuan is not a Xia countryman, the blood of the ancient Eastern land is still flowing in his bones!

"Good job, Xia Yuan!"

"Although Delph's confrontation ability is not particularly outstanding, it is not weak! Xia Yuan actually knocked Delph staggering this time!!"

"Sure enough! If Aston Villa wants to beat the arrogant Manchester City at home, it still depends on Xia Yuan's performance!"

"I thought Xia Yuan would pass the ball first! Unexpectedly, Xia Yuan actually bumped into Delph! He is really a man of great skill and courage!"

While Xia Guo fans were sending barrages to express their emotions, Xia Yuan on the court showed his superb footwork.

After Xia Yuan used his excellent confrontation ability to get rid of Delph's interference, he immediately sent a long pass to Aston Villa's striker!

Bang!

Without interference, Xia Yuan's long pass was almost wherever he pointed!

The football spun rapidly and fell accurately towards the opponent's penalty area!

Near the penalty spot.

Abraham, a 195cm tall center forward, jumped high!

Although Manchester City's central defender Otamendi had also made a jump, Abraham had a better height advantage than the Argentine central defender.

He successfully grabbed the first point.

Then!

Abraham headed the ball directly!

He put all his strength into it and hit the football with his head!

Instantly.

The football moved towards Manchester City's goal.

On the goal line, Manchester City's second goalkeeper Bravo once again showed his terrifying reaction ability!

His left hand successfully blocked Abraham's shot!

But!!

Aston Villa's second echelon of attack immediately followed up!

Grealish, who had been ambushing in the penalty area, successfully received the football that was saved by Bravo!

He did not hesitate at all and immediately raised his foot to shoot!

But just as Grealish made a shot, Otamendi behind him suddenly pulled Grealish down with his hand!!

This is a very clear foul!

"Beep!!"

The referee Anthony Taylor blew the whistle without hesitation.

He rushed to Otamendi and showed the Argentine international a yellow gem card! And Anthony Taylor pointed to the penalty spot with his right hand.

Aston Villa got a penalty! !

The miracle happened in the 47th minute of the first half!

"Penalty!!!"

"Otamendi's foul gave Aston Villa a penalty opportunity!!"

"Aston Villa's chance to equalize the score has arrived!"

"At the end of the first half, Aston Villa, who played at home, actually got a penalty!"

Zhan Jun continued: "This time Aston Villa's attack was led by Xia Yuan in the midfield with excellent confrontation.

Ability, get rid of Delph's interference, and then send a precise long pass! "

"If it weren't for Xia Yuan's precise long pass, Grealish would not have had the chance to shoot!"

On the barrage, Xia Guo fans were also dumbfounded! They didn't expect Aston Villa to get a penalty on Manchester City!

"Damn? Penalty! !"

"Anthony Taylor's best penalty in his career! !"

"Aston Villa is awesome! ! Xia Yuan is awesome! Grealish is awesome!"

"This game is really exciting! Although Manchester City has been controlling the rhythm of the game for most of the time, Aston Villa's players have not given up the game! "

"Who will take the penalty this time? I hope it's Xia Yuan!"

"It must be Shaker! Grealish's shooting skills are still excellent! "

In the stands of Villa Park, more than 30,000 Aston Villa fans have completely fallen into madness.

They cheered and applauded the Aston Villa players crazily!

Some fans even took off their jerseys and kissed the team logo crazily!

On the bench.

The two head coaches also showed completely opposite performances at this moment.

Dean Smith immediately hugged his assistant coach John Terry! In addition, the players on the bench also waved their towels crazily!

And Manchester City coach Guardiola shook his head helplessly.

In fact, in the pre-match deployment, Guardiola hopes that his team can get a three-goal lead as much as possible before the end of the first half. In this case, Guardiola will rotate personnel in the second half and withdraw some main players.

In order to prepare for the next Champions League knockout match against Tottenham.

But I didn't expect it.

Manchester City played so hard in the first half.

Even gave the opponent a chance to equalize the score.

Guardiola is for The team's performance was both disappointing and angry.

On the pitch.

Aston Villa's players began to take the penalty kick.

Grealish, wearing the No. 10 jersey, stood at the penalty spot.

The entire Villa Park stadium stands suddenly became quiet.

More than 30,000 Aston Villa fans and hundreds of Manchester City fans focused their attention on Grealish.

Before taking the penalty kick, Grealish took a breath and then slowly exhaled.

Then, Grealish showed a firm look.

His eyes were always fixed on Manchester City's goalkeeper Bravo!

Beep!

Anthony Taylor blew the whistle for the penalty kick!

Grealish took a run-up!
