Chapter 252: This is really an unexpected joy
Sebastian Larsson crosses...... Forepoint...... Dongfang Chen! Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray growled.
"Aston Villa is finished!" Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor screamed in horror.
At the front point, Dongfang Chen jumped up high when no one was defending, he was like an angel in the air, high above, and everyone below had to look up to him.
The Aston Villa players stared at Dongfang Chen in the air in horror, full of worry.
Aston Villa's goalkeeper Friedel immediately rushed forward, kicked his legs hard and bounced himself out like a sharp arrow to block the near corner of the goal.
"Header!" Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray immediately roared with excitement.
Boom!
Dongfang Chen's head hit the football hard, and the football immediately flew to the near corner of the Aston Villa goal, and all the Birmingham fans at the scene raised their hands in celebration of the goal.
"Wow! Friedel! Amazing save! Friedel miraculously saved the football, oh my god, how did this guy do it? How did he do it? Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor screamed with excitement.
The Aston Villa fans at the scene were also very excited and excited, screaming as if they had scored a goal, very excited.
Indeed, it was a goal worthy of such excitement and a save amounted to a goal.
Because Dongfang Chen's header was very threatening this time, and flew straight to the goal, all Aston Villa fans actually had no confidence, they all thought that the goal was lost, who knew that Friedel actually saved the football in the end, it was really unexpected.
Aston Villa fans are thrilled, while Birmingham fans are sad.
Dongfang Chen's header this time was very powerful, almost all Birmingham fans thought that this goal was undoubted, and they were naturally extremely sorry to know that this goal was saved.
Honk! The referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half and Birmingham City led 1-0 at home.
At the beginning of the first half, both teams had some good chances, but Lyon did not take advantage of them, but in the thirtieth minute of the first half, Dongfang Chen scored a goal with his individual ability to take the lead.
After that, the players of the two teams clashed during the game, and Aston Villa's midfielder Leo Koke was sent off with a straight red card.
After that, the players on both sides did not focus on the game, and the players on both sides moved more and more, and it was common for people on the pitch to turn their backs.
So, in the second half of the first half, neither side got any good chances, and the first half was over.
In fact, if the rematch continues like this, as long as the players of the Birmingham team protect themselves and do not get injured, this is what the Birmingham team wants to see, which is very beneficial to the Birmingham team, after all, the Birmingham team has taken the lead.
Back in the dressing room, Birmingham's head coach McLeish and the players said: "In the second half of the game, we all have to pay attention to protect ourselves, don't have fearless injuries, the current situation is in our favor, pay attention to control your own feelings, and at the same time can provoke the opponent's feelings, if the opponent can't help it, we will win this game 100 percent." ”
McLeish didn't ask too much, but he still told the players of the Birmingham team many times not to get hurt, and now the Birmingham team really can't afford to be injured.
On the other hand, Aston Villa's resident coach Martin O'Neill's words are basically the same as McLeish's: "Now you have to pay attention to your feelings, now is not the time to make trouble." If we continue to make trouble like this, it will be in the opponent's favor because they are ahead. ”
"In the second half we have to put our all into the game, get the score back, we have to win, not fight for that worthless breath, we have to win, we can't afford to lose to the damn Birmingham City side again," said O'Neill. ”
Soon, the second half of the game officially began,
It was Birmingham who kicked off first in the second half, Dongfang Chen played a little football, Sturridge immediately passed the ball back, and the two rushed into Aston Villa's half.
Midfielder Kevin Boateng ignored the rushing Abonlaho and fired the ball towards Aston Villa's half.
The football flew rapidly, Dongfang Chen and Aston Villa's midfielder Milner jumped up at the same time, but Dongfang Chen was obviously much taller, and the bounce ability was even better, Dongfang Chen hit the football, a lion shook his head, and ferried the football to Sturridge.
Sturridge received the ball and immediately passed the ball to the front of the wing, and Li Qinglong rushed up at high speed, caught the ball, and slotted towards the Aston Villa penalty area.
Aston Villa's full-back Horry immediately pounced to intercept Li Qinglong.
Li Qinglong saw Xiao Li pounce out, he immediately turned the football sideways, pretending to break through to the middle, Xiao Li was really fooled and immediately moved sideways.
At the moment when Xiao Li moved horizontally, Li Qinglong immediately buckled the football to the side, dunked Xiao Li, and quickly took the ball forward and attacked.
"It's over! Li Qinglong passed Xiao Li! Chance, chance for the Birmingham team! Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray immediately roared.
The Aston Villa fans immediately erupted in a frantic boo, disturbing Li Qinglong and the Birmingham team.
Li Qinglong passed Shawry, immediately cut inside with the ball, and killed Aston Villa's penalty area, Aston Villa's central defender Bouma immediately pounced and intercepted Li Qinglong.
Seeing Baoma come out, Li Qinglong smashed the ball left and right in a row to shake Baoma, and then suddenly thought about the bottom line of the football and crossed it from the bottom.
Bao Ma was frightened, rushed up quickly, and directly intercepted the flying football with a sliding shovel, but Bao Ma's feet were still a little shorter, and the football flew in front of Bao Ma's feet and flew straight to the middle.
"Cross! Li Qinglong's cross, Aston Villa is in danger! Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor also screamed in horror.
Mid Sturridge rushed up quickly, directly to the top of the fish, her head stretched desperately, but she still had a good reputation for the top of the football, the ball slid past his head, and flew directly to the back of the penalty area.
Dongfang Chen, who was at the back point, also kicked his legs, and his body ejected like a torpedo, and he pushed it towards the football fiercely.
"Dongfang Chenyu jumps to the top!" Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray roared with excitement.
With a bang, Dongfang Chen's head hit the football fiercely, and the football flew out rapidly, grazing the post of the goal and flying out of the bottom line, smashing the billboard.
"Oops! It's a pity! It's a pity that the football didn't go in, and it was a little off! Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray lamented.
All the ball mills of the Birmingham team on the scene are also regretful, Dongfang Chen's table today is already very good, this time he is only a little bit of luck, it's a pity.
The players and fans of Aston Villa were almost scared, this ball is really dangerous, just a few centimeters away, it really hangs.
Goalkick, Aston Villa get a goalkick opportunity.
Friedel kicked the ball out of the way and it flew into the Birmingham half, with Abonlaho and Kevin Boateng jumping up and down to scramble for the ball.
Abonraho tried to stick his head out, but he still couldn't reach the football, which was topped by Kevin Boateng, but it fell to the feet of Milner who rushed up.
Instead of sticking to the ball, Milner sent the ball straight to the wing, and the ball rolled sharply towards Ashley Young in front of him.
Birmingham full-back David Murphy immediately rushed out and came up to intercept Ashley Young, who knew that Ashley Young suddenly came to a ball split, David Murphy did not react, and was directly broken through.
The Aston Villa fans on the sidelines were very excited, cheering excitedly and cheering on Ashley Young.
Passing David Murphy, Ashley Young cut inside with the ball and Aston Villa's centre-back Ridgewell made a quick save.
Ashley Young's body is not very strong, seeing the strong Ridgewell rushing out, Ashley Young did not have the confidence to break through, and he directly crossed the football.
Ridgeville was known for his passing of Ashley Yang at this point, and the ball immediately rolled in front of him and towards the middle of the penalty area.
Ridgewell was shocked, and he immediately turned and pounced towards the middle.
"Ashley Young crosses! Abang Laho! It's Abang Laho! Birmingham team is finished! Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor roared with excitement.
At this point, Abonlaho was rushing towards the Birmingham City penalty area when Ashley Young's cross came in perfectly.
All the Aston Villa fans in the stadium were excited, raising their hands and ready to cheer.
Looking at the football rolling over his eyes, Abang Lajo, who had just stepped into the Birmingham team's penalty area, did not stop and directly met the ball and volleyed.
With a bang, Abang Lajo struck the ball and it sprinted towards the Birmingham goal.
"Abang Lajo shoots!" Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor roared loudly.
The Aston Villa fans at the scene were already too excited, they were already jumping and excited.
The ball was fast, like a bolt of lightning, and it shot quickly towards the Birmingham goal, and Abonlaho was confident that the goal would be scored.
Syllable!
A crisp voice was heard, and the fans of Abonlaho and Aston Villa were dumbfounded.
"Pounced! Joe Hart swooped down, oh my, amazing pounce," Sky Sports commentator Andy Isolation roared excitedly, but his voice stopped abruptly before he could finish his sentence.
The ball that had been saved by Joe Hart bounced off and slammed into Ridgewell's right leg as he was moving laterally, and then changed direction again and flew towards the Birmingham goal.
There was nothing in front of the goal, and the ball flew into the Birmingham goal without any suspense.
There was silence in the room, and no one made a sound. It was only a moment before the Aston Villa fans erupted in a fiery cheer.
