Football: God-level midfielder, Haaland is stunned

The ball was blocked, but the ball was blocked.

Just when Benrahma kicked the ball, Xia Yuan appeared in front of him!

Xia Yuan quickly raised his right foot and blocked the ball!

"Key defense!"

"Xia Yuan's attention was very focused! He successfully blocked the opponent's long shot!"

"Excellent!"

"Xia Yuan has made excellent defensive contributions in recent games!"

Zhan Jun did not hesitate to praise him.

After Xia Yuan blocked the ball, he immediately took control of the ball.

He looked up at the penalty area and made a long pass!

Bang!

The football quickly crossed the half court and headed straight into the Brentford penalty area!

On the penalty area line.

Aston Villa striker Andre Green and the opposing central defender Konsa jumped at the same time!

The result was that Andre Green did not touch the ball at all!

Konsa used his strong physique and jumping ability to clear the ball before the Aston Villa striker headed the ball.

Konsa, who is only 21 years old, is a very promising central defender.

He has been selected for England U21.

Full of talent.

Konsa has played 32 times this season! Almost full attendance, an indispensable player in Brentford's defense!

In contrast, Andre Green seems to be a dim star.

Although this player is only 21 years old, Andre Green has only played 4 times this season, and they were all substitutes.

The strength of the two players is completely different.

Konsa's header cleared the ball out of the sideline.

It's still Aston Villa's possession.

After the full-back Hutton sent a throw-in, Grealish controlled the ball on the wing.

But!

The next second, Brentford's full-back Odubajo and midfielder Mokotjo immediately formed a double-team defense towards Grealish.

There was no space for Grealish to break through.

And the two players pressed very hard!

They knocked Grealish to the ground directly!

In this way, Aston Villa lost the ball!

At the pre-match press conference, Brentford's head coach Thomas Frank once interviewed reporters and made it clear that the team had formulated a tactic to restrict Grealish.

Judging from the defense of Grealish by Brentford players this time, Thomas Frank was not bragging!

Brentford's chance to counterattack!

After completing the steal, full-back Odubajo subconsciously passed the ball to the front midfielder Watkins.

After receiving the ball, Watkins immediately showed his speed!

On the green field, Watkins was like a black lightning.

In a flash.

Watkins rushed into Aston Villa's backcourt along the right side.

Then.

Watkins used the sudden change in rhythm to forcefully break through the interference of Aston Villa's full-back Hutton! !

Three quick steps.

Watkins rushed into Aston Villa's penalty area!

Before Aston Villa's defenders could interfere, the player immediately raised his foot and shot!

Bang! !

The football passed through the gap between Aston Villa's two central defenders Mings and Elphick!

It shot into the goal like a bullet.

Aston Villa's goalkeeper Lovre Kalinic didn't even react! !

The speed of this shot was too fast!

"Brentford scored first!"

"One to zero!"

"The goal scorer is No. 11 Watkins!"

"This is the 12th goal scored by Watkins this season!"

"This 24-year-old English midfielder has performed well this season and is the absolute core of Brentford!"

"He has scored 12 goals and 11 assists so far. He is the only player in the Championship League with more than 10 goals and assists!"

"This player's value has reached 20 million euros!"

After Watkins scored, commentator Zhan Jun immediately showed his professional ability.

A detailed introduction to Watkins who scored the goal.

After the restart.

Aston Villa began to panic.

If Aston Villa wants to win the Championship, this game must be won.

Not long after the kick-off, Xia Yuan began to take over Aston Villa's offense.

The 11th minute of the game.

Aston Villa began to press forward frequently!

Even the two full-backs Neil Taylor and Hutton rushed forward.

Participate in the attack.

After the football was passed continuously by the Aston Villa midfielder, it finally appeared at Xia Yuan's feet.

Brentford did not focus on Xia Yuan.

When he received the ball at the top of the penalty area, no one interfered around him.

This formed a sharp contrast with when Grealish received the ball.

Xia Yuan did not expect the opponent to leave him alone!

This is definitely a good opportunity to score!

Xia Yuan has plenty of time to think about his next pass choice.

At this time, the striker Andre Green in the penalty area has already started running, but Brentford's two central defenders Konsa and Jean Vieille are very focused.

Always follow Andre Green closely.

If you want to pass the ball directly to the striker, the ball is likely to be cleared by the defensive player.

This is obviously not a good choice.

At this moment, Xia Yuan saw Grealish!

The Aston Villa star has quietly moved to the right side of the penalty area!

There is only one full-back around him to defend!

It's you!

Xia Yuan quickly passed the ball to Grealish!

At the moment when Xia Yuan made the pass, Grealish did not choose to stay in place to receive the ball, but suddenly accelerated!

Move towards the goal!

Bang! !

Xia Yuan's long pass just passed the head of the Brentford defender and landed accurately in front of Grealish.

Xia Yuan's pass and Grealish's running position can be said to be just right.

When Grealish appeared in front of the goal, Xia Yuan's pass was already in place! !

"Shoot!!"

"It's a goal!"

"Glarish's goal! Xia Yuan's assist!"

"Aston Villa quickly equalized the score!"

"One to one!"

"This pass and run timing is perfect!"

"Brentford's defensive players focused all their attention on striker Andre Green, but ignored Grealish's existence!"

"Including the previous game against Reading, Xia Yuan has already given Grealish three assists!"

On the barrage.

Xiaguo fans can finally put down their worries.

"Xia Yuan!! 666!!!"

"Oh my god! I thought Xia Yuan would pass the ball to Andre Green, but he passed it directly to Grealish!"

"Brentford's loss of the ball was entirely their own fault! There was no one defending when Xia Yuan received the ball. Now they must be regretting it!"

"Beautiful! I knew Xia Yuan would use a sharp pass to slap the opponent's coach in the face!"

"It's Xia Yuan's assist again. Aston Villa has become dependent on Xia Yuan!"
