Chapter 169
The game was a big success.
Coach Martin Atkinson showed a yellow gem card to the opponent's right back.
At the same time, Aston Villa also got a good position for a set-piece opportunity.
Glarish, McGinn, and Xia Yuan stood at the penalty spot at the same time.
The penalty spot is about 28 meters away from the goal.
You can shoot directly from this position.
At present, Xia Yuan's ability to score from set-pieces is not strong, so he naturally won't take the penalty, so he gave it to Grealish.
As Martin Atkinson's whistle sounded.
Glarish started to run up.
One second later.
Glarish completed the shot with his right foot.
Bang! !
After the football successfully bypassed the Bournemouth wall, it fell quickly!
The moment to test the Bournemouth goalkeeper has arrived.
However, the young goalkeeper was obviously a little too nervous.
Before the football landed, it bounced a little, which prevented goalkeeper Ramsdale from catching the football...
The football successfully fell into the goal.
2-0!
Grealish scored twice! !
"Jack!! Grealish!"
"Free kick directly scored!"
"Grealish's state is really amazing! It's so outstanding!"
"This shot is so wonderful, Bournemouth's goalkeeper reacted a little slower... The score was rewritten to 2:0!"
Grealish was very excited after scoring.
He trotted all the way to the corner flag area, and then made his celebration towards the reporter - Tai Chi.
After seeing Grealish's celebration, the Xiaguo fans in the Dongqiu.com live broadcast room couldn't help but launch a barrage to complain.
"Although Grealish's shot was good, his Tai Chi is really not good enough!"
"Hahaha, you are Grealish! The celebration is so different!"
"No need to say! Grealish's Tai Chi must have been taught by Xia Yuan!"
"Can I say his moves are a bit eye-catching?"
After the restart.
Bournemouth has no way out.
They can only attack.
There are still more than ten minutes before the end of the first half. Coach Eddie Howe did not ask his players to equalize the score, but only asked them to score a goal during this period.
However.
After the restart, the experienced coach Dean Smith directly asked his disciples to set up an iron bucket formation.
Use magic to defeat magic!
Now it is the turn of Bournemouth's players to fight.
42nd minute.
Bournemouth's offensive opportunity, after a series of back-to-back passes, the football finally appeared at the feet of full-back Daniels.
After receiving the ball, he passed it directly.
Bournemouth's offensive tactics were not too complicated, and they were still mainly based on two crosses from the wing.
But the first point was cleared by Aston Villa's central defender Mings with a header.
The ball flew to the top of the arc.
The player who received it at this position happened to be Xia Yuan.
In addition, there was Bournemouth's defensive midfielder Lerma.
When Xia Yuan controlled the ball with his back, the Bournemouth midfielder had already appeared behind Xia Yuan.
Once Lerma completed the steal of the ball, Bournemouth's attack would burn into Aston Villa's penalty area.
Critical moment.
After Xia Yuan stepped on the ball with his left foot, he immediately pulled the ball and turned around.
Lerma missed it. He didn't expect Xia Yuan to dare to use such a technical move as the Marseille turn.
"Get rid of it!"
"Xia Yuan used the Marseille turn to get rid of Lerma's interference!"
"Since Xia Yuan started playing in the Premier League, his headers, physical fitness, and footwork have all improved significantly!"
Seeing Xia Yuan easily pass the Bournemouth midfielder, commentator Zhan Jun was also happy from the bottom of his heart.
On the court, after Xia Yuan got rid of it, he immediately passed the ball to Douglas Luiz on the right.
Then.
Douglas Luiz made a cross with his right foot on the right.
Wesley rushed to the front of the goal and shot with his right foot.
The score was rewritten to 3-0.
Aston Villa, playing at home, basically killed the suspense of the game.
Three minutes later, Martin Atkinson blew the whistle to end the first half.
Aston Villa returned to the game with a score of 3-0.
Halftime break.
For head coach Dean Smith, he was naturally very satisfied with the performance of his disciples, but for coach Eddie Howe, he was quite angry!
After returning to the locker room, coach Eddie Howe made tactical adjustments immediately. Joshua King was replaced by Jordan Ibe wearing the No. 10 jersey!
Fifteen minutes later.
The second half of the game began.
Jordan Ibe was relatively active after he came on the field.
In fact, this player likes to retreat to the midfield to respond.
In the 48th minute, Jordan Ibe continued to retreat to the midfield. Lerma did not hesitate and passed the ball to the 23-year-old striker immediately.
After Jordan Ibe received the ball, he did not continue to pass the ball with his teammates from Bournemouth, but suddenly broke through the middle with the ball!
"Ah! Direct breakthrough?"
"Does this player think he is Neymar?"
In the studio of Dongqiu.com, commentator Zhan Jun was obviously surprised when he saw Jordan Ibe break through from the middle.
As we all know, Zhan Jun is a Liverpool fan.
And Jordan Ibe happened to be a player trained from Liverpool's youth training system and had been in Liverpool for a period of time, so Zhan Jun still has a certain understanding of this player.
Although Jordan Ibe has a certain breakthrough ability, if he wants to break through directly in the middle, it is a bit uncertain based on Jordan Ibe's current ability.
This is why Zhan Jun questioned it.
Sure enough.
Three seconds later.
Under the double interference of Xia Yuan and McGinn, Jordan Ibe lost the ball at his feet!
This gave Aston Villa a chance to counterattack.
The football was controlled by Xia Yuan again.
"Foul! Foul quickly! Don't let the opponent's No. 33 player pass the ball again!"
On the sidelines, Bournemouth coach Eddie Howe became nervous when he saw Xia Yuan was about to make a long pass.
He immediately asked Jordan Ibe to foul Xia Yuan.
Unfortunately, he was still a step too slow.
Xia Yuan's long pass had successfully found the offensive player Al Ghazi on the right.
The latter used his physical advantage to forcefully break through the aging Daniels and completed an inward shot.
Unfortunately, Al Ghazi's shooting ability was slightly inferior, and the football was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper.
However, Aston Villa got a corner kick opportunity.
