Chapter 122
The second half of the game started.
The Leeds United players were like crazy, and immediately launched a fierce attack on Aston Villa's goal.
It seems that Bielsa's scolding in the midfield worked.
In the 47th minute.
Calvin Phelps' long pass once again found Pablo Hernandez with great accuracy.
After the 34-year-old Spanish winger stopped the ball, he did not choose to break through at the first time.
Instead, he chose to cross the ball.
The most critical point for Leeds United to win this game is to pass the ball into the opponent's penalty area as soon as possible.
Rely on the personal ability of striker Bamford to create a threat to the opponent's goal.
So!
During the halftime break, head coach Bielsa asked his disciples to play more simply and directly.
At this moment, the football has quickly flown into the penalty area, or more accurately, to the back post.
Bamford, wearing the No. 9 jersey, has jumped high!
At the same time, Aston Villa's defensive player Mings also jumped at the same time! !
Although Mings is taller than Bamford, in this confrontation, Bamford almost used all his strength and successfully grabbed the first point!
Heading hard!
The football flew to the left side of the goal!
Unfortunately, Bamford used all his strength to physically confront Aston Villa's central defender Mings, and his header did not exert strength.
It can even be described as soft and weak...
On the goal line, Aston Villa's goalkeeper Jade Sdel successfully hugged the football with both hands.
Leeds United's first attack in the second half ended in failure.
But immediately afterwards.
Aston Villa also launched an attack.
Although the team has now achieved a 3-0 lead, this is Leeds United's home ground after all, and a score of 3-0 is not too safe.
Coach Dean Smith still requires his players to launch an attack!
If the score difference can be expanded to 4-0 in a short time, then the suspense of this game will be completely over.
In the 55th minute of the game.
Aston Villa's attack came.
This time it was McGinn who received a pass from his teammates in the midfield and quickly dribbled forward!
Three times five divided two.
McGinn relied on his excellent physical fitness and confrontation ability to easily get rid of the interference of many defensive players!
At this moment, in the stands of Elland Road, tens of thousands of Leeds United fans immediately booed and cursed McGinn violently!
Not long after.
Many Leeds United defensive players have already rushed to McGinn.
Including Forshaw, Klich and Jack Harrison!
Three generals rushed into McGinn's vicinity at the same time.
Critical moment.
McGinn naturally did not choose to force a breakthrough, but cleverly passed the ball to Grealish on the left! !
To be honest, after the first half of the game, every Aston Villa player has played with confidence.
Especially Grealish.
When he received McGinn's pass on the left, he completely ignored the opponent's defensive players.
After pedaling twice, he suddenly flicked his right foot and completed the inside cut! !
Although the Leeds United defenders have worked hard enough at this moment, unfortunately, Grealish's inside cut speed is too fast.
Ailin, the full-back responsible for defending Grealish, is like a piece of wood.
He can't keep up with Grealish's rhythm at all! !
Bang!
A volley!
Grealish suddenly shot a cold arrow at the top of the penalty area!
The football drew a very tricky arc in the air and fell perfectly into the dead corner of the goal.
Four to zero! !
Aston Villa scored the fourth goal.
And Grealish also completed his personal double goal!
The suspense almost disappeared at this moment.
In the stands of Elland Road, tens of thousands of fans fell into silence, and almost every fan's face was quite ugly.
At this moment, Leeds United fans already knew it.
The possibility of them winning the game was almost zero.
In the studio of Dongqiu.com, commentator Zhan Jun also began to celebrate the victory.
"The score of four to zero is enough for Aston Villa to win tonight. If nothing unexpected happens, Aston Villa will win in
After this game, they will rise to the second place in the league! "
"If Aston Villa can maintain the second place in the league until the end of the season, they will be directly promoted to the Premier League next season!"
"Of course, we have reason to believe that Aston Villa now also has great hope of winning the Championship!"
"In the game played at the same time, Norwich temporarily tied with Brentford 1:1. If Norwich, who ranked first, does not win tonight, the gap between Aston Villa and Norwich will be shortened to two points! ! "
...
On the court, Grealish made a lightning five-whip celebration as soon as he scored a goal.
After watching this scene, the Xiaguo fans who were watching the live broadcast laughed so hard that they couldn't close their mouths.
"Ah! Isn't this the unique skill of Master Ma! He actually taught Grealish!"
"No need to think, it must be Xia Yuan who gave it to Grealish!"
"Hahahaha! I laughed to death, this Grealish is really a funny guy! ”
“To be honest, Grealish has learned the basics of Master Ma.”
After the restart, although every Leeds United player played very hard in the game, various physical confrontations emerged one after another.
But.
Now Aston Villa has actively retreated to the half-court defense.
Moreover, Aston Villa set up an iron bucket formation.
No attack opportunities were given to Leeds United at all.
As time was consumed little by little, Leeds United, who played at home, gradually lost their fighting spirit.
After 90 minutes of battle.
Aston Villa won Leeds United 4-0 away.
Successfully got the precious three points.
In the Championship League standings, it achieved a curve overtaking.
Currently ranked second in the league.
At the same time, because Norwich, the first in the league, tied with Brentford at home in this game tonight, Aston Villa is only two points away from Norwich.
In the last round of the league, Aston Villa will face Norwich directly!
In other words.
Aston Villa is likely to achieve a lore in the last round of the Championship!
After the game, all the players of Aston Villa took the bus back to Birmingham as soon as possible.
Three days later.
Aston Villa will continue to travel away!
And this time, the name of their opponent is Bolton Wanderers.
