The 17-year-old Xia Yuan won this Asian derby with a perfect performance of two goals and one assist.

…

In the comment area, a considerable number of Premier League fans are talking about Xia Yuan's performance.

"Aston Villa's No. 33 player performed so perfectly in the game. He was like a warrior, still able to run all over the field at the last moment!!"

"Yes, who would dare to believe that the Chinese player who scored two goals and one assist in the game was only 17 years old! He was also the best player and best assist in the English Championship last season!"

"Before the game, this player once claimed that Aston Villa would be able to impact the top four of the Premier League after the end of the season. At that time, many media and fans ridiculed his remarks, but now, no one dares to question this Chinese!"

"The mysterious oriental teenager is sweeping the Premier League with his superb skills!"

"A new midfield master has appeared! It's a pity that he plays for Villa, not the club I support!"

"It is said that during the offseason, Manchester City, Liverpool and other clubs have made offers to Aston Villa for Xia Yuan, but Villa clearly stated that Xia Yuan is not for sale. It seems that this player is indeed capable!"

In addition to English fans and media discussing Xia Yuan's performance, the same is true in Xia Country.

Whether on social media or short videos on TikTok, Xia Yuan's name is the first in all the hot searches.

In addition, in the country next to Xia, there are also a lot of comments about Xia Yuan in the sports forum of Kimchi.

After all, Aston Villa played against Tottenham in this game, and Tottenham's lineup has the star player of Kimchi, Son Heung-min.

So naturally, a considerable number of Kimchi fans watched the live broadcast of this game.

"Sun Ouba was defeated by a Chinese teenager! This is absolutely unbearable!"

"Siba! Tottenham actually lost to Aston Villa, which has Chinese people! This is simply a shame!"

"Pochettino should get out of the position of Tottenham head coach as soon as possible, he has used up Sun Ouba!"

"Although Tottenham lost the game, Sun Ouba's performance is still outstanding. In my opinion, Sun Ouba did not lose to the Chinese in Villa!"

...

After the game, Xia Yuan followed the team's bus back to Birmingham.

On the bus.

Xia Yuan received many congratulatory text messages from friends.

Ma Fanshu, Reba and even the little princess of Norway also sent congratulations to Xia Yuan, and Xia Yuan also politely expressed his gratitude.

It was already two o'clock in the morning when the bus arrived at Aston Villa Club.

After the players said goodbye to each other, they immediately returned to their residences to rest. After all, the physical energy consumed in this game with Tottenham was quite huge.

Xia Yuan did not return to the players' apartment to rest because he now had his own house.

Two days before the game with Tottenham, Xia Yuan's agent Jonathan helped Xia Yuan find a villa two kilometers away from Aston Villa Club.

The villa is three-story, with a small swimming pool and a five-a-side football field in the backyard.

There are also two security guards and a servant to ensure safety and hygiene.

Of course, the value of this villa is also quite high, with a market value of 5 million euros, but the previous owner of the house happened to be Aston Villa.

The fans of Ston Villa also particularly admired Xia Yuan, so they gave Xia Yuan a discount of 500,000 euros, and finally the deal was sold for 4.5 million euros.

Xia Yuan was quite satisfied with his villa, but the only pity was that the house was too big and it was a bit boring to live alone.

Originally, Xia Yuan wanted to bring his parents to England to live, but the two elders were unwilling to leave Norway and still wanted to run their restaurant.

There was no way, Xia Yuan could only enjoy his life alone.

The next day.

At eight o'clock in the morning, at Aston Villa's training ground, Grealish came to Xia Yuan with a copy of the Manchester Evening News. He said excitedly, "Hey, Xia, you really became famous in one battle!"

"Look at what the newspapers say about you!"

"They compare you to a combination of Pirlo and Lampard! The strongest midfielder in the world football in the next fifteen years, and even call you one of the four major midfielders in the world football, along with Modric of Real Madrid, Pogba of Manchester United, and De Bruyne of Manchester City!"

Xia Yuan did not take the Grealish responded to the newspaper in his hand without any concern: "The media only likes to follow the trend, and what they say is not credible."

"If I don't play well in the next game, perhaps these media will list me as one of the four most disappointing midfielders."

After hearing Xia Yuan's answer, Grealish laughed and said: "Okay, Xia, I didn't expect you to have such a high level of awareness at such a young age! You are so right! These reporters always like to follow the trend!"

Not long after, Aston Villa's coaching team also came to the training ground.

Before starting a new day of training, Dean Smith first held a small meeting with Aston Villa's players.

"Although we just defeated the powerful Tottenham and got off to a good start in the Premier League, the Premier League is quite long and we must maintain our hunger for victory in every game!"

"The next game will be our first home game of the season. I think you should all know the opponent, Bournemouth. This team ranked 14th in the Premier League last season. It is average and is a relegation team."

"I hope each of you can train hard in the next few days and greet our home games in the best condition. Come on, boys!"
