Football: God-level midfielder, Haaland is stunned

The more you shoot, the better chance you have.

As long as you shoot, you have a chance to score!

Glarish is naturally very clear about this, so he resolutely chose to break through!

As Aston Villa's No. 10 player, although Grealish's absolute speed is not as terrifying as Saka or Nicola Pepe, his ability to protect the ball and change his rhythm are still at a certain level.

Especially his sudden cut inside this time, Arsenal's full-back Kolasinac didn't react!

Glarish's right foot flicked, opened up the gap, and immediately raised his foot to shoot! !

Kolasinac behind him saw Grealish was going to shoot directly, and he didn't dare to be careless, and immediately made a tackle from behind Grealish!

He was tackled to the ground with the ball! !

"Beep!!"

The referee Moss blew the whistle immediately and showed Kolasinac a yellow card.

At the same time, Aston Villa got a chance for a set-piece.

"Sure enough, if Aston Villa wants to threaten Arsenal's goal, it still depends on the connection between Xia Yuan and Grealish!"

"Aston Villa got a chance for a set-piece!"

"It's still a bit difficult to shoot directly from this position. If nothing unexpected happens, he should choose to pass the ball."

"However, will Xia Yuan fight for a header in the penalty area or take the penalty kick?"

Zhan Jun expressed his doubts. After all, Xia Yuan's passing and heading abilities are the strongest in the Aston Villa team.

Xia Yuan was also very entangled, but soon Dean Smith helped Xia Yuan make a decision!

"Xia! You take the penalty kick!"

Coach Dean Smith named Xia Yuan to take the penalty kick.

On the penalty spot.

Xia Yuan has been observing the running positions of Villa teammates. Wesley, El Gachi, Mings and Bjorn Engels are all over 185cm tall and have excellent heading ability.

This is why coach Dean Smith let Xia Yuan take the free kick.

There are many players in Aston Villa's lineup who can compete for headers, but there are few players who are good at passing.

Three seconds later.

Xia Yuan passed the ball into the penalty area with his right foot.

The ball was very fast and landed at the back post!

Mings, a central defender with a height of 196cm, successfully grabbed the first point! He headed the ball near the back post and overpowered Arsenal central defender Papastathopoulos.

Unfortunately, the ball was slightly higher than the crossbar!

"What a pity!!"

"It was a header that was just a hair's breadth away!"

"If Xia Yuan had been the player who scored this time, maybe this header would have really scored."

Zhan Jun said helplessly.

During the opening period of the second half, Aston Villa posed a certain threat to Arsenal's goal, which obviously made the Arsenal players on the field quite angry.

They couldn't believe that Villa dared to fight back!

It didn't take long for Arsenal to respond.

In the 53rd minute, midfielder Guendouzi's long pass successfully found Nicola Pepe on the wing.

Arsenal's attack was still mainly on the wing!

After seeing this scene, Dean Smith hurriedly called on his players to return to defense as soon as possible.

In an instant.

McKin, Nakamba and Villa full-back Neil Taylor all appeared on Nicola Pepe's breakthrough route.

"Three people are surrounding him!"

"Aston Villa has spent a lot of money this time!"

Commentary guest Zhang Lu complained after seeing this scene.

Nicola Pepe actually stopped his breakthrough and chose to pass the ball after seeing this.

The ball came to Ceballos' feet in the middle.

At the top of the penalty area, Ceballos controlled the ball and immediately looked up at the position of Aston Villa goalkeeper Heaton, and then immediately shot with his left foot!

Bang!

It was a ground-level shot!

Fortunately, Aston Villa's goalkeeper was very focused and immediately fell to the ground and hugged the ball with his hands.

Heaton did not choose to throw the ball out, but hugged it directly!

"Although Aston Villa lost two goals in this game, goalkeeper Heaton's performance was still quite impressive. If it weren't for Heaton, Aston Villa might have lost four goals by now."

Just after Zhan Jun praised Heaton, the Aston Villa goalkeeper suddenly stood up from the ground

, and immediately threw the ball in his hand to Xia Yuan on the right.

After Xia Yuan received the ball, he also didn't think too much. He made a long pass, and the ball crossed the half court and landed accurately at Grealish's feet.

"Another chance for Aston Villa to counterattack!"

"Grealish received the ball on the wing! The defender in front of him, Kolasinac, has already received a yellow card!"

Zhan Jun introduced the situation of the defensive player very quickly.

Grealish was naturally very clear about this. After he quickly stepped on the bicycle a few times in front of Kolasinac, he used his right foot to push the ball inward again!

Still cut in!

It can be said that Grealish almost copied the previous offensive routine!

Two seconds later, Kolasinac was firmly left behind by Grealish. This time, Kolasinac didn't dare to make a move easily, and could only watch Grealish make a shooting move!

Bang! !

At the top of the arc, Grealish shot with his right foot, and the ball rubbed the left post of Arsenal and flew out of the bottom line.

Aston Villa missed the chance to score again.

Five minutes later, it was Arsenal's turn to attack again.

Before that, Saka and Nicola Pepe on the right side exchanged positions.

When Saka came to the right side, it was obviously more lethal than on the left side. Facing the joint defense of Neil Taylor and Grealish, Saka broke through the gap between the two players.

Saka is like a loach, very flexible!

Seeing that Saka was about to enter the Aston Villa penalty area, Xia Yuan could only bump into Saka from behind.

The referee Moss blew the whistle again, indicating that Xia Yuan had committed a foul, and showed Xia Yuan a yellow card.

Arsenal got an excellent opportunity in a good position.

Nicolas Pepe, Saka, Guendouzi, Ceballos and others all stood at the penalty spot. After they covered their mouths and discussed for a while, Ceballos finally took the penalty.

However, the former Real Madrid player's free kick shooting ability was quite average, and the football directly hit the Aston Villa wall!

The second point was controlled by Xia Yuan.

Guendouzi immediately made a tackle towards Xia Yuan, but Xia Yuan flicked it and easily avoided the opponent's tackle.

At the same time, Grealish on the left side has begun to accelerate!

There was only one full-back Kolasinac in front of Grealish, and Kolasinac was carrying a yellow card!

Xia Yuan decisively sent a long pass.

Two seconds later, the football landed accurately at Grealish's feet.
