Football: God-level midfielder, Haaland is stunned

The game was a big success.

Guest commentator, Coach Zhang Lu, said: "It's interesting! Hey, when Stoke City scored, it means that in the next period of time, both Aston Villa and Stoke City will focus on the offensive end!"

"If nothing unexpected happens, this game will be a goal-scoring battle!"

In the stands of the Britannia Stadium, Stoke City fans can finally cheer to their heart's content!

However, as the head coach of Stoke City, Nathan Jones is still very nervous.

As a head coach with rich coaching experience.

Nathan Jones knows very well that this game has just begun!

As expected.

After the restart, Aston Villa, who played away, took the lead!

In the 38th minute of the game.

Xia Yuan began to move to the right side.

McGinn, who was advancing with the ball in the midfield, saw that Xia Yuan was already in place, and immediately sent a long diagonal pass!

Two seconds later.

The football fell at Xia Yuan's feet.

In the stands of the Britannia Stadium, Stoke City fans suddenly burst into a huge boo at Xia Yuan! !

Even many extreme fans have begun to curse Xia Yuan!

Although Xia Yuan has only made one assist so far.

But on the defensive end, Xia Yuan's performance is quite sharp.

He and his teammates can often limit Joe Allen's dribbling and even win in the confrontation with Charlie Adam.

The booing did not stop Xia Yuan's pace.

On the contrary, Xia Yuan's performance was even better.

On the Stoke City side, the full-back responsible for defending Xia Yuan is Clucas!

Compared with defense, Clucas seems to be better at offense.

As of this game this season, Klucas has scored 3 goals and 5 assists.

He is the player with the most goals and assists among all Stoke City defenders!

When Klucas rushed to Xia Yuan, he immediately stretched out his foot to steal the ball!

This player didn't seem to take Xia Yuan seriously.

After Xia Yuan saw this, he quickly flicked his left foot and poked the ball first!

Immediately afterwards, Klucas made a second steal!

At this time, Xia Yuan immediately passed the ball!

Klucas's fighting strength was still quite fierce, and he immediately stretched out his foot to intercept!

But Xia Yuan had already thought of a way to get rid of Klucas.

The moment Xia Yuan's right foot touched the ball, he suddenly flicked the inside of his foot!

Fake pass!

Klucas was completely shaken!

After seeing Xia Yuan was about to pass the ball, he immediately jumped up, ready to use his body to stop Xia Yuan's pass... and Xia Yuan suddenly went!

Successfully got rid of the interference of the Stoke City full-back!

"Dribble!"

"Xia Yuan passed Klucas!"

As soon as Zhan Jun finished speaking, Xia Yuan decisively sent a long pass.

In the Stoke City penalty area.

Aston Villa's offensive players are ready.

McGinn at the front, Abraham in the middle and Grealish at the back formed a three-man team!

"Glarish!!"

"Volley!!!"

"Jack Grealish scored his third goal of the game!"

"Hat-trick!"

"And Xia Yuan assisted and scored twice!"

"4:2!"

"The score difference has reached two goals again!"

Zhan Jun continued: "If I remember correctly, this should be the first time Grealish has scored a hat-trick this season! Aston Villa's offensive firepower is really too strong! Of course, Stoke City's defense has also collapsed during this period!"

"Stoke City's defensive players all focused on Abraham and McGinn. As for Grealish, who was ambushing at the back point, there was only one full-back around him to defend... This is really not right!"

There were only ten minutes left before the end of the first half.

Stoke City, which was 2:4 behind, had no way out!

They could only give it a try.

In the stands of the Britannia Stadium, tens of thousands of Stoke City fans were shouting slogans of attack hysterically.

Even some die-hard fans were hoarse.

If Stoke City could score a goal in the last ten minutes and shorten the score to 3:4.

Perhaps Stoke City still had hope of winning.

Nathan Jones was naturally very clear about this.

He asked his two full-backs Tom Edwards and Clucas to press forward and use the crossing ability of the two full-backs to create pressure on the opponent's defense.

44th minute.

Finally! !

Stoke City got a chance to pass the ball from the side.

Charlie Adam was one against two in the middle.

Facing the double interference of Jedinak and Hourihane, he still passed the ball to Clucas's feet with great accuracy.

Near the sideline.

Clucas immediately passed the ball after receiving the ball!

In Aston Villa's penalty area, Stoke City's main striker Vokes and Thomas Ince were already in place!

Always ready to grab points in front of the goal!

Everything is ready, only Clucas's pass is missing.

But at this moment, Xia Yuan made a crucial interception!

At the moment when Clucas passed the ball.

Xia Yuan's left foot successfully blocked the pass from Clucas.

The timing was just right!

The pass was eventually blocked out of the baseline.

Stoke City missed the chance to cross the ball.

In the following time, Stoke City, playing at home, never got a particularly good offensive opportunity.

The first half of the game was over.

Aston Villa temporarily led Stoke City by two goals with a score of 4:2!

Entering the halftime break.

Stoke City's head coach Nathan Jones was completely furious!

In the locker room, he scolded almost every Stoke City player!

In the stands of the Britannia Stadium, a small number of fans had already left the stadium.

Stoke City suffered a double blow.

Fifteen minutes later.

The second half of the game between the two sides officially began!

Under the strict requirements of coach Nathan Jones, Stoke City's players began to desperately launch an attack!

The entire back line was even moved forward to the midline.

And at this moment.

Aston Villa, who had already established a two-goal advantage, was quite calm.

They did not confront the opponent head-on.

Instead, they chose to avoid the opponent's attack.

All 11 players, including striker Abraham, retreated to the half court to participate in the defense.

Under Aston Villa's iron bucket formation.

The opponent had no chance at all.

Although Stoke City has always been called the Sky City by fans, striker Vokes does have a certain ability to grab points in the air.

But when Vokes was surrounded by two or three Aston Villa defenders at all times, he could not play the power of the header.
