The game was a big success, but the situation was not good.

Although Coach Monk claimed in the pre-match press conference that he would not focus on defending Xia Yuan, in order for the team to win this derby, he could only choose to slap himself in the face!

The 35th minute of the game.

In order to overtake the score as soon as possible, Aston Villa, who was playing away, also issued tactical instructions as soon as possible.

Asked the Aston Villa players on the field to press forward and attack.

Even in order to pass the ball into the penalty area, Neil Taylor and El Muhammadi, the two full-backs, were ordered to press forward and participate in the attack!

However!

Although Aston Villa's offensive momentum is already fierce enough.

But the effect is not particularly obvious.

Birmingham, who played at home, had already set up a bus defense at the first time.

All the frontcourt players retreated to the half court to defend.

And the players of Birmingham were quite active on the defensive end.

Various flying tackles and physical confrontations!

Aston Villa's attack could not continue at all.

This time, Aston Villa's midfield core, Hourihane, had just received the ball when two Birmingham defensive players suddenly appeared in front of him.

Kiftenbeld and Horta Pelletello!

The two Birmingham midfielders did not say anything and directly confronted Hourihane physically! !

After seeing this, the latter did not hesitate too much.

Subconsciously chose to pass the ball!

Hourihane originally wanted to give the ball to Xia Yuan for the next attack.

However, there were always two players, Che Adams and Jukiewicz, around Xia Yuan to interfere.

If you pass the ball rashly, there is still a certain risk.

After a brief thought.

Hourihane decided to pass the ball to Glenn Whelan.

But.

The moment he made the pass, Hourihane regretted it a little.

Because... Glenn Whelan also had a Birmingham defender behind him!

And! This player is Davis!

From the beginning of the game to now, the best player in Birmingham's midfield is naturally Davis!

He is quite active!

This time is no exception!

Davis successfully predicted the target of Hourihane's pass. The moment Hourihane passed the ball, he immediately rushed towards Glenn Whelan! !

The timing was just right.

Davis completed the steal with his right foot!

After that, Davis did not dare to be careless and decisively kicked the ball to the front court!

This is a good opportunity for Birmingham to counterattack.

After seeing Davis complete the steal, the two Birmingham forwards, Jean Adams and Jukiewicz, immediately gave up their defense against Xia Yuan and rushed towards Aston Villa's half at a 100-meter sprint speed! !

Three seconds later.

Davis' long pass found Jukiewicz! !

After controlling the ball, the Birmingham center forward also attracted the attention of many Aston Villa players.

For a moment, Xia Yuan, El Gachi and central defender Mings all rushed towards Jukiewicz.

The goal of these Aston Villa players was very clear.

That was to destroy the ball at Jukiewicz's feet as much as possible!

But unexpectedly.

Jukiewicz chose to pass back!

In a moment, the ball appeared at Davis' feet again! !

Jukiewicz was quite calm at this moment.

Before getting an absolute chance, Jukiewicz did not choose to go it alone blindly.

Passing back is the best choice.

On the scene, in the commentary booth.

TikTok's special commentator, He Wei excitedly explained: "It's still Birmingham's possession!"

"The ball is back at Davis' feet again!!"

"Birmingham, playing at home, played quite calmly in the game, they are not in a hurry!"

Just after He Wei finished saying this, Davis slapped He Wei in the face with actual actions!

"Pass the ball!!"

"Davis chose to pass the ball!!"

"Pass the ball directly to striker Jean Adams!!"

"In the penalty area!!"

"Jean Adams did not touch the ball, and the ball was cleared by Aston Villa defender House first!"

"Corner kick!"

"Birmingham got a corner kick opportunity!!"

In the stands of St. Andrews Stadium, more than 30,000 Birmingham fans once again gave the players on the field extremely warm applause! !

Although Birmingham's attack did not

Scored a goal, but it was not without gain.

Birmingham still had a chance to attack from a corner kick!!

On the bench of Birmingham, head coach Monk immediately called on the defensive players in the backcourt to participate in the corner kick attack!

"Press forward!! Go to the opponent's penalty area to compete for headers!!"

"You can't attack in positional warfare! You must make good use of the corner kick opportunity! Hurry up!"

Under the urging of coach Monk, Birmingham's two central defenders Michael Morris and Dean rushed into the penalty area of ​​​​Aston Villa.

In addition, there are offensive players such as Che Adams and Jukiewicz.

Midfielder Davis is responsible for the corner kick.

Before taking the corner kick, Davis first raised his right hand.

This is a reminder of some tactics!

Afterwards, Davis quickly crossed the ball with his right foot!!

Bang~

In a moment, the football flew rapidly towards the penalty area of ​​​​Aston Villa.

It's the front point!!

Birmingham's central defender Michael Morris was just lying in wait at the front!

Michael Morris instantly soared into the air! !

The central defender was 190cm tall! He is considered a tall player among football players!

On the Aston Villa side, the player who was responsible for defending Michael Morrison in the corner kick was House!

Full-back Neil Taylor!

Neil Taylor was only over 1.8 meters tall, and was obviously no match for Michael Morrison!

In the air! Michael Morrison's body overpowered Neil Taylor, and he forced a header to score! !

Although Michael Morrison was only a central defender, his header was no less powerful than a striker! !

Instantly.

The football flew into the goal like a cannonball!

Bang~~

The football passed through the fingers of Aston Villa goalkeeper Jed Steele...

Two to one! !

Birmingham, playing at home, unexpectedly reversed the score miraculously! !

In the stands of St. Andrews Stadium, Birmingham fans were boiling again at this moment! !
