Chapter 198

The game was a big success, but the game was a big success.

During the post-match interview with reporters, Xia Yuan was also very dissatisfied with the fouls committed by Besiktas players on the court.

He said coldly: "From the first minute of the game, Besiktas players didn't want to play football, but wanted to fight. Both the players on the field and the fans in the stands have been provoking us."

After saying this, Xia Yuan suddenly showed a smile on his face.

"And the score of this game is the price Besiktas paid for their provocation. If there were another five minutes, I believe Aston Villa is fully capable of expanding the score to 6:1."

Dean Smith and Xia Yuan's ridicule after the game undoubtedly shattered the weak self-esteem of Besiktas fans again, so that after the game, a large number of Besiktas fans directly surrounded the Aston Villa bus in the parking lot of the stadium, but fortunately, with the timely arrival of security personnel, these troublemaking fans were immediately invited in for tea.

That night, all the players of Aston Villa took a flight back to England as soon as possible.

After defeating Besiktas away, Aston Villa ranked first in the group stage of the Europa League with a record of two wins in two games.

Two weeks later, Aston Villa will continue to travel to face the third opponent in the group stage, which is also the weakest team Bratislava.

The next day, coach Dean Smith did not give Aston Villa players time to rest, because three days later, Aston Villa will usher in the Premier League game, and their opponent is Norwich, which is also a newly promoted team.

Since Wesley, Grealish and other players suffered varying degrees of injuries in the game against Besiktas, Dean Smith could only continue to let Xia Yuan start the game.

After all, when Grealish and Wesley are not on the court, it is precisely Xia Yuan who needs to control the situation.

October 05.

At eight o'clock in the evening.

Aston Villa ushered in their eighth round of the league battle at Norwich's home ground, Carrow Road.

After the game started, Norwich, who played at home, did not choose to fight with Aston Villa players, but put their posture very low.

From the first minute, coach Falcao has been asking Norwich to focus on defense.

Almost all Norwich players retreated to half-court defense.

But despite this, there is no way to completely restrict Aston Villa's attack.

Although Wesley and Grealish cannot play, there is still El Ghazi on the front line.

This player has a height of 189cm and his technical style is quite similar to Wesley.

Most importantly, Aston Villa still has Xia Yuan in the midfield.

Villa can be without Grealish, Wesley, or even head coach Dean Smith, but definitely not without Xia Yuan.

As long as Xia Yuan is on the court, Aston Villa is not afraid of any team.

In the 11th minute, Xia Yuan and another Villa player Nakamba successfully stole the ball from Moritz Leitner's feet through active running in the midfield.

Moritz Leitner, wearing the No. 10 jersey, is the offensive core of Norwich's midfield.

When Xia Yuan finished stealing the ball from the player, Norwich's defense line was in chaos for a while, and almost many Norwich defensive players rushed to the striker El Gachi without thinking.

It seemed that in the subconscious of the Norwich players, Xia Yuan would definitely pass the ball to El Gachi as soon as possible.

But Xia Yuan did not do so.

Xia Yuan did not pass the ball, but chose to dribble forward in the midfield.

This undoubtedly caught Norwich off guard. The midfielder McLean rushed to Xia Yuan and tried his best to stop Xia Yuan from dribbling.

However, Xia Yuan is no longer the Xia Yuan of last season.

He already has excellent breakthrough ability.

In a very short time, Xia Yuan made a continuous bicycle kicking action and suddenly broke through to McLean's right!

After the breakthrough, Xia Yuan successfully broke into the top of the penalty area. At this moment, the two central defenders of Norwich spontaneously rushed to Xia Yuan, trying to stop Xia Yuan from moving forward.

It's a pity that these two players are too slow.

After Xia Yuan stopped suddenly, he quickly passed the ball with his right foot!

Bang.

The football ruthlessly passed over the heads of the two Norwich central defenders and headed straight into the penalty area.

and went.

Near the penalty spot, Aston Villa striker Al Gachi did not choose to stop the ball, but turned sideways and directly shot with his right foot!

Bang! ! !

The football went straight to the dead corner of the goal! !

One to zero.

Aston Villa successfully scored.

In the studio of Dongqiu.com, commentator Zhan Jun said excitedly: "Sure enough! It's Xia Yuan's assist again!"

"His long pass left the defenders with no way out, and the football landed accurately at the feet of striker Al Gachi!"

"This attack was almost completely dominated by Xia Yuan. His pass and breakthrough completely collapsed Norwich's defense!"

Al Gachi, who scored the goal, was also very clear about this. After he finished the celebration, he rushed to Xia Yuan as soon as possible, and the two of them celebrated with a high five.

On the barrage, Xiaguo fans began to praise Xia Yuan's performance crazily again.

"Xia Yuan's breakthrough ability has suddenly become so strong. Did he have an epiphany?"

"Why do I feel that Xia Yuan's breakthrough method is a bit similar to Grealish's?"

"It should be said that Xia Yuan's breakthrough this time is really cool. Although Xia Yuan's absolute speed is not fast, his rhythm changes are too smooth!"

"Norwich is the real newly promoted team. This defense line is really vulnerable."

"Xia Yuan is in excellent form. Aston Villa should have no problem winning eight consecutive games."

The team lost the ball too early, so Norwich coach Falk had to change tactics. Shortly after the restart, Norwich players launched an attack as soon as possible.

The team's central attack ability is relatively average. Most of the time, it is mainly based on crosses from the side.

This time, the football came to the feet of No. 17 player Buendia.

After the latter changed direction continuously, he chose to cross, but the football did not pass over the head of Aston Villa central defender Mings!

Mings jumped high in the penalty area and headed the ball to clear the siege!

The ball landed in the middle, and the player who got the first point was still Xia Yuan.

On the sidelines, on the Norwich bench, head coach Falk quickly called on his players to immediately surround Xia Yuan and try not to let Xia Yuan get the chance to pass the ball.

In an instant, two defensive midfielders and a frontcourt player all rushed to Xia Yuan's side.
