Chapter 97
The two sides have been in a state of panic, and the two sides have been in a state of panic.
That night, Xia Yuan took a flight back to England, and then took a bus back to Birmingham.
After the Norwegian national team's game, Xia Yuan needed to focus all his attention on the league.
At present, the English Championship has been played for 38 rounds, and there are only eight games left before the end of the season. For Aston Villa, if they want to win the championship of this season's English Championship, they naturally have to ensure that all the remaining games are won!
To be honest.
This is not an easy thing.
Three days later, Aston Villa will face their opponent in the 39th round of the English Championship.
Blackburn Rovers!
Currently, Blackburn Rovers is ranked 7th in the Championship, and is only 6 points away from Aston Villa, which is ranked 4th.
Just two games!
And!
Recently, Blackburn Rovers has been in hot form, and has won 5 consecutive games!
Of course, Aston Villa is also in excellent form. Since Xia Yuan was promoted to the first team, the team has won both the league and the FA Cup.
The winning streak in the Championship has reached 10 consecutive wins!
Despite the hot form of the team, Mr. Dean Smith did not dare to be careless about the next game.
The day before the game.
Dean Smith established the starting lineup early.
Xia Yuan, who had just returned from the Norwegian national team, got the chance to start again.
Nowadays, Xia Yuan has become the offensive core of the Aston Villa team. Xia Yuan starting and not starting are completely two different teams for Aston Villa.
After the training, Xia Yuan returned to the player's apartment to rest as usual.
At about 10 o'clock in the evening, when Xia Yuan was about to lie down on the bed to rest, his cell phone rang.
It was Reba's call!
"What's the matter with you calling so late?"
"Hehe!! I just arrived in London! If nothing goes wrong, I might go to watch your game tomorrow! Big star, do you still remember what you promised me before?"
In response to Reba's inquiry, Xia Yuan casually asked: "What did you promise?"
When Reba heard Xia Yuan's words, her tone immediately became a little disappointed.
She couldn't help but complain to the phone: "Sure enough! Men's words are not trustworthy!"
"Didn't you promise me before that as long as I came to watch the game, you would give me a ticket with a very good seat!"
"You!! You actually forgot!!"
Xia Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that it was a ticket.
"Oh! I thought something was wrong, I got scared."
"Don't worry! I will definitely give you the ticket! When you arrive at the gate of Villa Park tomorrow, I will let the club staff give it to you! Don't worry, big star!"
...
Match day.
The stands of Villa Park were crowded.
Because of the international match day, the fans have not been able to watch the game for more than a week, and they are already very hungry!
They are eager to watch a wonderful football game!
In the stands of the star family, Reba kept taking selfies with her mobile phone wearing sunglasses. When the starting players of Aston Villa and Blackburn Rovers stepped onto the court, Reba immediately put down her mobile phone and began to sing Villa's team song - "Hi-ho Aston Villa" with the fans in the stands around!
The battle is about to start!
At this moment, in the distant Eastern country.
In the studio of Dongqiu.com, the old partners of commentators Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu also began to comment.
"Welcome fans to watch the 2018-2019 Championship League, the focus of the 39th round in the early morning of Saturday! Aston Villa will host Blackburn Rovers at home!"
"The commentary of this game is provided by coach Zhang Lu and me, Zhan Jun."
"Aston Villa, playing at home, has won 10 consecutive victories in the Championship League and is in excellent form! Currently ranked fourth in the league, while Blackburn Rovers, playing away, have won five consecutive victories and are ranked seventh in the league!"
"The starting players of both sides have already appeared on the field. On the Aston Villa side, head coach Dean Smith continued to choose the 4141 formation that he is best at."
"Goalkeeper: Lovre Kalinic."
"The four defenders are: Hutton, Elphick, Mings, Neil Taylor;"
"The single defensive midfielder is Jedinak."
"Four frontcourt players: Xia Yuan, Hourihane, McGinn, Grealish;"
"Single striker: Abraham!"
"And the starting lineup of Blackburn, who are playing away, is 4231!"
"The goalkeeper is David Raya!"
"Four fullbacks: Amari Bell, Mulgrew, Lenihan, Nyambe!"
"Elliot Bennett, Travis!"
"Three frontcourt players: Conway, Dake, Adam Armstrong!"
"Forward Danny Graham!"
After the two teams shook hands with each other, the battle officially kicked off.
After Aston Villa kicked off, the ball was passed several times in the midfield and finally appeared at Xia Yuan's feet!
In the stands of Villa Park!
Tens of thousands of Villa fans immediately gave Xia Yuan warm applause and cheers!
"Go! Xia! Put some pressure on Blackburn!"
"The King of Villa!! Bring us victory!"
"No one can easily stop your pass!"
"Xia Yuan! Get past them!"
...
When Blackburn Rovers coach Mowbray saw Xia Yuan receiving the ball in the midfield, his face instantly panicked.
He knew very well how terrible Xia Yuan's strength was!
He immediately called on the players on the field to rob Xia Yuan.
In a moment!
The two defensive midfielders Elliot Bennett and Travis rushed to Xia Yuan.
After seeing this scene, Xia Yuan acted very calmly.
After pulling the ball with his left foot, he quickly stepped on the ball and turned around!
A cool pass!
In an instant, Xia Yuan successfully broke through the interference of the two Blackburn Rovers.
When he got rid of it, there was a vast space in front of Xia Yuan!
So.
Xia Yuan did not choose to pass the ball.
Instead, he broke through with the ball! !
"Xia Yuan used a wonderful step on the ball and turned around to pass the two Blackburn Rovers! There was no defensive player around him to interfere!"
"It feels that after these months of training, Xia Yuan's breakthrough ability is obviously better than when he was just promoted to the first team!"
Not long after.
Xia Yuan appeared at the top of the penalty area.
The defensive players of Blackburn Rovers were also in place.
Central defender Mulgrew and full-back Amari Bell rushed to Xia Yuan.
After seeing this scene, Xia Yuan stepped on the brakes very calmly.
Emergency stop!
Then, Xia Yuan quickly sent a through ball!
Bang!
The football successfully appeared in front of striker Abraham.
A good chance to shoot! !
