Football: God-level midfielder, Haaland is stunned

The new season is coming.

Last season, Everton ranked eighth in the Premier League standings and almost qualified for the Europa League play-offs.

After the start of the new season, Everton drew 0-0 with Crystal Palace away and won 1-0 against Watford at home, and remained unbeaten.

It is not easy for Aston Villa to beat Everton at home.

In addition.

The Premier League has already finished two rounds, and Aston Villa, as a newly promoted team, has gradually become known to other Premier League teams for its technical style.

At the pre-match press conference.

Everton coach Marco Silva confidently told the reporter who was interviewing him, "Aston Villa is currently in a position where they don't belong. As a newly promoted team, Aston Villa ranks second in the league, which makes me feel incredible. Although Villa defeated Tottenham 4-3 in the first game, this game was too lucky."

"As for winning Bournemouth at home, there is nothing to brag about, because Bournemouth itself is a team that focuses on relegation."

Marco Silva paused for a while and continued, "Everton came to Villa Park with only one goal, that is to get three points. There are no injuries in the current team lineup, so we will play with all the main players tomorrow night. I believe that my disciples will let Villa, a newly promoted team, feel the cruelty of the Premier League."

The next day.

Eight o'clock in the evening.

The sky above Villa Park was covered with dark clouds, and it seemed that a storm was about to come.

But despite this, the stands were still full.

According to statistics, the number of fans who came to watch the game today was as high as 43,000.

Obviously more than the number of people who came to the last game against Bournemouth.

At the same time, both Dongqiu.com and Douyin Short Video started live broadcasts.

Most of the fans who watched the game on Dongqiu.com were computer and TV users, while those who watched the game on Douyin Short Video were mainly mobile phone users.

In the Dongqiu.com studio.

Commentator Zhan Jun and guest commentator Zhang Lu began their commentary work.

"Welcome all fans to watch the focus of the third round of the 2019-2020 Premier League season, Aston Villa will host Everton at home!"

"As before, let me first introduce the starting lineups of both sides."

"Dean Smith, who is playing at home on Aston Villa, The formation of 4141 was sent out. "

"Goalkeeper Heaton."

"Four defenders: Gilbert, Bjorn Engels, Mings, Neil Taylor!"

"Single defensive midfielder: Douglas Luiz!"

"Four forwards: Jota Pelletello, McGinn, Xia Yuan, Grealish."

"Single striker: Wesley!"

"And the away Everton formation is 4231!"

"Goalkeeper is Pickford."

"Four defenders: Digne, Mina, Michael Keane, Coleman."

"Two defensive midfielders: Andre Gomez, Schneiderlin!"

"Three forwards: Bernard, Sigurdsson, Richarlison!"

"Single striker: Calvert Lewin!"

When the starting names of the two teams were announced, it immediately caused a lot of discussion among Xiaguo fans.

"Why are there so many players who used to play for Barcelona in Everton's starting lineup!"

"That's right! This Everton is definitely Barcelona's second team, Digne, Mina, Andre Gomes..."

"Just do it! Not to mention Barcelona's second team, even if Barcelona's first team comes, Villa is not afraid!"

"If they beat Everton, Aston Villa's winning streak will reach three games! Come on!"

"As long as Xia Yuan starts, Villa should have no problem beating Everton!"

"I heard that Everton coach Marco Silva mocked Villa crazily before the game. This game will definitely slap the opponent's coach in the face!"

Five minutes later.

The referee Michael Oliver and other referees led the starting players of the two teams onto the court.

After the captains of both teams chose sides, the battle officially began.

Aston Villa got the chance to kick off first.

Under the cheers of more than 40,000 Aston Villa fans at the scene, Villa launched the first attack of the game.

Everton coach Marco Silva's remarks still had a certain impact on Villa's players.

The game had just started.

Villa played quite aggressively.

2nd minute.

Grealish forced a breakthrough with the ball in the middle, and soon Grealish attracted the attention of several defensive players.

Everton's two defensive midfielders Andre Gomez and Schneiderlin rushed to Grealish without saying a word.

After seeing this, the latter immediately passed the ball to Jota Pelletello on the wing.

The 28-year-old Spaniard, Jota Pelletello, is a winger that Aston Villa spent 4.5 million euros to introduce from the same city team Birmingham this summer.

Jota Pelletello has a certain speed advantage and breakthrough ability.

But relatively speaking, this player's defensive enthusiasm is quite weak, and he doesn't like to defend, which can be called a double-edged sword.

Right side.

When the ball came to Jota Pelletello's feet, the latter faced Digne's defense and made a series of sudden stops and changes of direction, but Digne's defense was quite stable.

He did not choose to kick rashly, but kept interfering with the player beside Jota Pelletello.

Seeing that there was no way to get past Digne in the first place, the Spanish winger made a direct cross!

Bang~

The football went straight to Everton's penalty area.

In front of the goal, another new player Wesley had thrown his body out, trying to finish the shot before Everton's central defender.

Unfortunately, Everton's goalkeeper Pickford was very focused. He took the lead and firmly held Jota Pelletello's cross.

Aston Villa's first attack after the opening ended in failure.

One minute later.

Everton's attack arrived.

After receiving the football, midfielder Andre Gomes suddenly sent a through ball.

The football quickly slid past Aston Villa's full-back Neil Taylor and appeared at Richarlison's feet.

The Brazilian striker was only 22 years old at the time.

He had not yet become the "No. 1 striker in the Super League."

On the right side of Everton, Richarlison controlled the ball, stepped on the bicycle three times in a row, and suddenly cut inside!

It is undeniable that the young Richarlison still has a certain speed advantage.

Forced to cut inside, Aston Villa's full-back Neil Taylor had no way to keep up with the pace.

Two seconds later.

Richarlison decisively raised his foot and shot at the top of the penalty area!
