Football: God-level midfielder, Haaland is stunned

After Sun Xingmin stopped the ball with his right foot, Xia Yuan appeared in front of him. When the commentator saw this, he immediately raised his voice. "Sun Xingmin vs. Xia Yuan! Interesting match!" At the same time, Xia Guo fans on Douyin began to look forward to Xia Yuan's performance! "Here it comes! Here it comes! The showdown between the strongest Asians!"

"Son Heung-min has a strong ability to break through, Xia Yuan must be careful!!"

"Defend against Son Heung-min!"

"Depend on you! Brother Xia Yuan! You must keep steady!"

"This guy will definitely choose to cut inside, be careful of his right foot!"

On the court, when Son Heung-min saw that it was Xia Yuan who came to defend him, his face suddenly showed a bit of surprise.

After all, in the previous game, the Aston Villa player who was defending against him should be the right back El Muhammadi!

But, Son Heung-min didn't think too much.

No matter who came to defend him, Son Heung-min must complete the breakthrough as soon as possible!

The next second.

Son Heung-min suddenly pedaled twice, trying to confuse Xia Yuan.

Although Xia Yuan is only 17 years old and very young, he has played many games in the Championship League with Aston Villa last season.

Xia Yuan did not rush to grab the ball at the first time, but responded to changes with inaction.

After Sun Xingmin saw that Xia Yuan had no intention of grabbing the ball, he directly kicked with his right foot!

Sun Xingmin did not choose to cut inside.

Instead, he continued to break through along the left side!

If nothing unexpected happens, Sun Xingmin should want to pass the ball directly into the penalty area of ​​​​Aston Villa, and then rely on the header ability of center forward Harry Kane to score.

However.

What Sun Xingmin never expected was that after he dribbled the ball, he had no way to get rid of Xia Yuan in front of him.

In fact, Sun Xingmin's explosive power is much higher than Xia Yuan, but! The time of the game has come to the 89th minute, which has exhausted Sun Xingmin's physical strength...

You know, in the first 90 minutes, Tottenham Hotspur's attack basically relied on Sun Xingmin's breakthrough on the left side.

Every breakthrough consumes a lot of physical energy. Although Sun Xingmin's physical fitness is also good, he really has no strength at this time.

The legs can even feel a little weak when running!

Seeing that the football was about to fly out of the baseline, Sun Xingmin could only use his left foot to buckle the football to his right foot. Just when he was about to force a cross, Xia Yuan also stretched out his left foot to complete the interception!

Then, Sun Xingmin's cross was ruthlessly blocked by Xia Yuan.

Tottenham didn't even get a corner kick.

"Good defense! Beautiful defense!"

"Xia Yuan didn't let Sun Xingmin complete the cross!"

"I didn't expect that the game had come to the last minute, and Xia Yuan's physical fitness didn't seem to be affected at all!"

Huang Jianxiang said with heartfelt emotion after witnessing Xia Yuan's defense.

When the football was blocked by Xia Yuan and went out of the sideline, the fourth official also raised the extra time card.

Four minutes.

The referee gave Tottenham a chance to equalize the score in four minutes.

Now Tottenham's head coach Pochettino has played all three cards in his hand. Now, Pochettino can only put all his hopes on the players on the field.

On the Aston Villa side, Dean Smith had not used any of his three substitutions.

It was not that Dean Smith did not want to make substitutions, but that he did not dare to make substitutions.

The 11 strongest players in the team had already started, and most of the substitutes were new players or young players. Coach Dean Smith did not dare to train new players in this crucial game.

So Dean Smith did not continue to make substitutions.

But now, Dean Smith decided to play a card.

He decided to use substitutions to consume as much game time as possible.

91st minute.

Aston Villa striker Wesley was replaced by Douglas Luiz.

A minute later, Dean Smith asked Konsa to replace Grealish.

The game has been in a state of intermittent, which also caused Tottenham, who played at home, to have no way to create an effective threat to Villa's goal.

93rd minute 15 seconds.

Dean Smith made his third substitution, replacing Xia Yuan with 29-year-old midfielder Lansbury.

When Xia Yuan left the field, the away fans in the stands gave a deafening applause.

Douyin commentator Huang Jianxiang

Said: "Xia Yuan is off! No. 8 Lansbury replaced player No. 33 Xia Yuan! In tonight's game, Xia Yuan scored two goals and one assist!"

When Xia Yuan came off the field, Villa head coach Dean Smith and assistant coach John Terry immediately came to Xia Yuan and hugged him.

"You played great! Xia, you are really outstanding!" Dean Smith looked at Xia Yuan with emotion.

"You made me believe that Villa can break into the top four of the Premier League at the end of the season! No, I even think the team can win the Premier League title!"

Dean Smith continued: "As long as you can continue the form tonight, I believe the team can win the Premier League championship!"

"I'll try my best, coach."

Compared to the excited Dean Smith, Xia Yuan looked calm.

He is well aware of how difficult it is for Aston Villa to win the Premier League title.

Judging from the current thickness of the team's bench, this is almost impossible!

Of course, football is round, the season is long, and anything can happen.

Shortly after Xia Yuan came off the field, the referee Chris Kavanagh blew the whistle to end the game.

Aston Villa defeated last season's Champions League runner-up Tottenham Hotspur 4:3 away from home!

After the game, the Aston Villa players cheered and the players on the bench swarmed in front of Xia Yuan to hug and celebrate.

Looking back at the Tottenham players playing at home, their faces were filled with disappointment.

After the game, Xia Yuan was voted the best player of the game without any doubt.

During an interview with reporters, a reporter from The Times asked Xia Yuan.

"Xia, first of all, congratulations on your first win in the Premier League in the new season. At the pre-match press conference, you once said that Aston Villa has the ability to hit the top four in the Premier League. Facts have proved that you can compete with strong teams. He played really well in the match.”

"Thank you." Xia Yuan responded politely.

The female reporter wearing glasses continued to ask: "Let's talk about your first Premier League game. How did it feel?"

"It's okay. It's not as intense as I thought. Tottenham is a tough opponent, but we're not bad either. As I said before, I always think Aston Villa is a strong team."
