Brown had imagined what he was going to face before he made such a decision, his expression did not change at all, he didn't care at all, and waved his big hand to signal the two to go back to the game, and the game was about to resume.

Dongfang Chen was also very dissatisfied with the referee's decision, but there was no way, now they had to accept it.

A free kick, Birmingham won a direct free kick about 30 meters from the goal, a little far away, but the position was still relatively good, it was a chance to look forward to.

Sebastian Larsson got in front of the football, ran quickly and curled the ball straight into the Aston Villa penalty area.

Aston Villa's defenders were on their heels, and they all thought Sebastian Larsson would give him the football bed.

But the ball flew straight to Sturridge at the back post, who jumped high and beat Aston Villa's full-back Luke Young, met the ball, swung his head fiercely and smashed the flying ball.

"Sturridge, header!" Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray growled.

With a thud, Sturridge's head slammed into the oncoming ball, which raced towards the Aston Villa goal amid the terrified shouts of the Aston Villa fans.

With a thunderbolt, the ball entered the lightning, the white light flashed, and the head fell to the ground!

In front of the goal, Aston Villa's goalkeeper Friedel was completely powerless, unresponsive, and only felt a flash of white light in front of him, and there was no shadow of football.

Clang!

There was a steel sound, and the football slammed into the outside of Aston Villa's goal post, popping off the bottom line!

"Even! Birmingham team was really unlucky to hit the post, alas! It's a shame they came close to equalising. Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor lamented.

"Ahh How can it be? The Birmingham fans at the scene were equally sorry, and they were all stunned, not believing it was true.

"Whew!" The Aston Villa fans were terrified, they looked at the trajectory of the football and thought it was over, but fortunately, the football hit the post, and they were relieved.

McLeish held his head in his hands and felt sorry, what a pity!

"Do you see that?" Suddenly, Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said to Martin Taylor, who was next to him.

"See what?" Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor wondered?

"The tactics of the Birmingham team today are different from before, the tactics of the Birmingham team in the past are looking for striker Dongfang Chen, Dongfang Chen is their main point of attack, but today is not!" Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said.

Hearing Andy Gray say this, Martin Taylor suddenly realized, he was amazed. He said: "Yes, the attack of the Birmingham team today is almost all looking for Sturridge, mainly Sturridge. ”

Andy Gray said, "Yes! It's a surprise, McLeish's tactics today have actually worked, Sturridge got a lot of chances today, there were a couple of very good chances, but unfortunately Sturridge didn't take a single one, if he could have grasped even once, the situation would not be the way it is now. ”

Martin Taylor agrees: "That's true! I really didn't expect Dongfang Chen to be willing to be a green leaf for Sturridge! For him to draw in the Aston Villa defence and leave the opportunity to Sturridge was really unexpected. ”

Andy Gray also nodded: "Yes, I didn't expect Dongfang Chen to be so generous and open-minded, and so team spirit, it's really not easy." ”

The two commentators saw it, and so did Aston Villa manager Martin Olney.

In fact, Martin O'Neill had doubts a long time ago, but he has never been sure, but now he is sure that McLeish is indeed letting Dongfang Chen shake and let Sturridge attack.

This is really what Martin O'Neal didn't expect, and now that he understands it, Martin O'Neal was shocked into a cold sweat for a lifetime, and this McLeish is too treacherous. If it weren't for Sturridge's bad luck today, they Aston Villa would have been doomed by now.

Martin O'Neal immediately called Curtis Davis, the backbone of the defense, to the sidelines, and personally instructed: "Pay attention to Sturridge, the main attack of the Birmingham team today is Sturridge, we have all been deceived before, and then we will focus on Sturridge." ”

Listening to Martin O'Neal say this, Curtis Davis also reacted, he said why this game was played so awkwardly, as if their defense was full of holes, it turned out that they followed the wrong defender and gave Sturridge too many gaps.

Curtis Davis nodded his head and said he understood, and then he returned to the court and handed over what the head coach had arranged.

Seeing Curtis Davis explain the arrangement, Martin O'Neal breathed a sigh of relief.

McLeish kept an eye on Martin O'Neal, and when he saw Martin O'Neal call Curtis Davis to his side, he knew his tactics had worked.

McLeish was secretly happy in his heart, and then immediately gestured to the Birmingham players in the stadium, and now changed the focus of the attack, and it was Dongfangchen's turn to attack.

The players of the Birmingham team were immediately happy in their hearts, and they felt that their bodies were instantly filled with strength, and they had found their backbone, and now they were really going to attack.

After Dongfang Chen saw MacLeish's gesture, he was not too excited, and his expression did not change, but their eyes seemed to be much brighter.

Goalkick, Aston Villa goalkick, Friedel kicked the ball out with a big kick, and the ball immediately flew into the Birmingham half.

Aston Villa's striker Abang Lajo immediately jumped high and low to meet the football, flicked his head directly and threw the ball to Ashley Young, who was in front of him.

Ashley Young caught the ball and immediately ran forward with the ball, with Birmingham midfielder Emerson clinging to Ashley Young.

Young immediately swung his leg and made a pass to the wing, and Emerson was immediately deceived. With a flick of his ankle, Young shook past Emerson and slotted towards the Birmingham penalty area.

"It's over! Ashley Young is over, dangerous, Birmingham is dangerous! Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray immediately roared with excitement.

Ashley Young got past Emerson and immediately drove the ball forward, followed by a shot that struck the ball with his right leg and fired it into the Birmingham goal like a cannonball.

"Ashley Young, long shot!" Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor roared with excitement.

The ball shot like a white lightning bolt towards the Birmingham goal, and the Birmingham fans were terrified.

"Amazing! Fantastic goalkeeper Joe Hart, he saved the football, saved, fantastic! Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray roared with excitement.

Joe Hart's reflexes were quick, his judgment was accurate, his movements were extremely stretched in the air, and he was perfect in every way, and he blocked the ball from the bottom line.

"Wow! Joe Hart's appearance is truly fantastic, and he will surely become a national in England. Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor was amazed.

Ashley Young clasped his head in his hands, lamenting.

Aston Villa won a corner, Ashley Young curled the ball into the Birmingham penalty area, the ball was picked up by Joe Hart, who jumped high and immediately ran forward, ready to throw the ball into the fast attack.

However, the guy followed him like a piece of kraft candy, interfering so that he couldn't throw the ball with his hands, so Joe Hart had to slow down the tempo, and waited for Abang Lajo and the others to exit the penalty area, and then sent the football out with a big kick.

By this time, Aston Villa's defenders were back in their own half and back in their positions.

The football flew out towards Dongfang Chen quickly, Dongfang Chen was about to jump to the top, a guy had already jumped up, pushed the football out, and pushed back to the half of the Birmingham team.

However, it was not the Aston Villa players who took the football, but the Birmingham City players, and the football rolled to the feet of Kevin Boateng.

Kevin Boateng immediately rushed into the Aston Villa half with the ball, and Kevin Boateng, the tank locomotive, came again and went on a rampage directly in the Aston Villa half.

Milner knew he couldn't win, but he pounced on Kevin Boateng without hesitation, and although he was still bounced off one by one, Milner didn't give up, clinging to Kevin Boateng like a kraft candy.

And at this time, Kevin Boateng also found out, Leo Coke, the second fool, rushed up again, Kevin Boateng did not stick to the ball this time, and directly knocked the football sideways, and the football quickly rolled to the feet of Sebastian Larsson who came from the side.

Aston Villa's full-back Petrov immediately posted up to interfere with Sebastian Larsson.

Sebastian Larsson watched Petrov rush forward, and Sebastian Larsson immediately passed the ball back to full-back David Murphy, before he spun around and slammed into the Aston Villa penalty area.

Sebastian Larsson stepped forward quickly, Petrov was not slow to react, and he quickly followed Sebastian Larsson.

However, David Murphy, the full-back who received the ball, did not pass a ball over the top directly to Sebastian Larsson as Petrov imagined, but directly shifted the football to the other side, and the football flew to the feet of Li Qinglong.

Li Qinglong's side was relatively empty, and after he caught the football, he still had time to look up and observe the form in the stadium. Aston Villa's full-back Downing immediately rushed up and was menacing.

Li Qinglong directly flicked the ball horizontally, shook off the rushing Downing, and then Li Qinglong directly waved his leg and a big foot to pass the football directly into the Aston Villa penalty area.

"Forty-five degree cross!" Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray suddenly shouted loudly.

In the Aston Villa penalty area, Sturridge suddenly accelerated, shooting towards the front point like a cheetah seeing its prey.

Curtis Davis and the Aston Villa defenders immediately thought of Martin O'Neill's explanation and immediately rushed towards the front to disrupt Sturridge.

Only one full-back, Luke Young, was left in the middle of the penalty area to defend Dongchen.

Luke Young's attention was completely on the front point, and he didn't even notice that Dongfang Chen behind him had quietly moved towards the back point.

"Yang! Dongfang Chen, follow Dongfang Chen! Aston Villa's goalkeeper Friedel roared in horror in front of goal.

The ball flew in at a high speed, flying straight past the front post and towards the back post of the penalty area.

Suddenly, all the Aston Villa defenders were stunned, what was going on? Why not Sturridge? But the back point?

On the sidelines, Martin Olney was also stunned and looked sluggish.

"Danger! Aston Villa is going to suffer, and the latter point is - Dongfang Chen! Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray roared in horror.
