Chapter 22
The ball flew towards the opponent's goal at a high speed!
At the critical moment, Damian Martinez once again showed his terrifying save ability! !
Knocked the ball out with one punch!
"It's Martin's save again!"
"This is the third time in this game that Damian Martinez has saved Aston Villa's sure goal!"
"Incredible save!"
"This time Xia Yuan's pass was perfect enough! The ball successfully passed the Reading defender in the penalty area and found Abraham! And Abraham's header was also very powerful... It's a pity that Damian Martinez is in too good a state!"
Zhan Jun's tone was full of disappointment.
After Martin completed a world-class save, the fans of Reading went crazy again!
Damian Martinez's name resounded throughout the stands!
Jose Gomez, the head coach of Reading, applauded the goalkeeper crazily on the sidelines.
For Xia Yuan, he was not surprised at all after seeing Damian Martinez's performance.
After all, he had witnessed Martin's performance in the 2022 Qatar World Cup in his previous life.
"Steady!"
"Don't panic!"
"There is only one Martin in Reading!"
"Victory must belong to us Aston Villa!"
On the court, Xia Yuan signaled his teammates to keep their minds as stable as possible.
At the same time.
Dean Smith, the head coach of Aston Villa, also made tactical adjustments.
Grealish moved from the midfield position to the front line.
Aston Villa's formation changed from 4141 to 442!
However, Grealish's position is still further back than Abraham, more like a shadow striker or a second striker.
When Grealish came to the front line, the responsibility of Aston Villa's midfield organization fell on Xia Yuan.
Not long after, Xia Yuan showed his talent!
The 33rd minute of the game.
After Xia Yuan received the pass from Hourihane on the right, he did not observe the running position of his teammates and directly kicked the ball to the middle!
Bang! !
The football flew over the penalty area of the Reading team in a strange arc!
After Abraham jumped high at the front point, he had not yet grabbed the first point.
Obviously, Xia Yuan's pass was not for Abraham, but Grealish in the middle!
The football landed accurately in front of Grealish!
The No. 10 player of Aston Villa decisively chose to raise his foot and shoot!
Volley shot!
This time, Reading goalkeeper Damian Martinez finally failed to catch the ball...
Bang! !
The ball went straight into the corner!
Aston Villa successfully equalized the score!
"Volley shot! The ball went in!!"
"Glarish helped Aston Villa, who was playing away, equalize the score!!!"
"Xia Yuan's long pass assist! Grealish's volley shot!!"
"One to one!!!"
Zhan Jun shouted excitedly into the microphone, and coach Zhang Lu, who was sitting next to him, commented: "Dean Smith's change of formation worked!"
"It seems that Aston Villa's attack still needs to be launched by Xia Yuan. Although Grealish also has the ability to pass the ball, his footwork is still not comparable to Xia Yuan."
The fans of Xiaguo who watched the live broadcast were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
"I knew it! We still have to rely on Xia Yuan at the critical moment!"
"This pass is so damn accurate!!"
"I didn't expect Xia Yuan's cross from the wing to be so awesome! Too strong~! A complete all-around midfielder!"
"Just pass the damn ball to Xia Yuan!!"
"The counterattack starts now! Go Aston Villa! Try to overtake the score before halftime!"
"To be honest, this game is much better than this year's Spring Festival Gala!"
Norway.
Oslo, Chinatown.
Inside Lao Xia Restaurant.
After seeing Aston Villa equalize the score, Xia Dongguo shouted excitedly! !
"Beautiful!!"
"It was Xiao Yuan's pass!!"
"The score is equalized!!"
After hearing Xia Dongguo's shout, Huang Caiyun hurried out from the kitchen.
"Finally, it's equalized. It's really not easy!" Huang Caiyun finally showed a trace of relief on her face.
At this time, a dining guest asked: "How can I watch the English Championship? I remember that this is the second-tier league in England! Why can't I watch it?
Premier League!"
"Yes, boss, the Premier League is much more interesting than the Championship! It seems that there will be a derby between Manchester United and Manchester City tonight! Why don't you change the channel!"
After hearing the guest say this, Xia Dongguo suddenly raised his voice: "I am watching my son's game!"
"Did you see it! The player who assisted Grealish is my son, Xia Yuan! Wearing the No. 33 jersey."
"He is only 17 years old, and he has become the main force of Aston Villa!"
After Xia Dongguo finished speaking, many guests focused their attention on the 30-inch TV.
"Hey! You know what! This No. 33 player really looks a bit like you!"
"It's really your son!"
"Hey! Old Xia, your son has made a difference!"
"Let your son sign for me someday! "
……
In the stands of Reading's home stadium.
England's famous agent Jonathan Barrett also applauded Xia Yuan.
"Jack really didn't lie to me."
"This Chinese teenager's passing is indeed quite powerful."
Jonathan Barrett whispered.
Although there was still no expression on his face, Jonathan Barrett was extremely excited in his heart.
He was very sure.
Xia Yuan will definitely become a world-class star in the future.
Jonathan Barnetta couldn't wait to sign with Xia Yuan.
In the stadium.
Aston Villa's morale soared after equalizing the score!
After the restart.
Aston Villa, who played away, did not stop their offensive pace.
Continue to move towards Reading's goal was attacked.
Reading coach Jose Gomez saw this and immediately asked all the players on the field to retreat to half the field.
Things change.
Now it was Reading's turn to passively defend.
In the 42nd minute.
Aston Villa scored the second goal.
It was still Xia Yuan's pass.
On the right side.
After Xia Yuan received McGinn's pass, he just stopped the ball when suddenly several defensive players rushed in front of Xia Yuan.
Among them were Swift and Lewis. Baker, and the full-back Iadom!
Three players rushed towards Xia Yuan at the same time.
But despite this.
Xia Yuan still completed the cross.
Xia Yuan first hit Iadom with his shoulder, and the Reading full-back was knocked to the ground in an instant.
Then!
Xia Yuan quickly passed the ball! Before the other two Reading defenders interfered, he kicked the ball into the penalty area.
Bang! ! !
This pass was to Abraham!
