Chapter [254]: He carries the hope of all
Honk!
Suddenly, referee Howard blew the whistle, and everyone in the field stared nervously at the Birmingham team in the penalty area.
"Howard blew the whistle in his mouth, is that a foul? The Birmingham team is going to be out of luck! Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor said immediately.
Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray was frowning and staring at the stadium.
The players of the Birmingham team immediately surrounded the referee Howard, their expressions were very nervous, very frightened, and very worried.
Dongfang Chen also rushed back from the front court quickly and rushed to his own penalty area to find out what happened?
Howard had already made a penalty when Dongfang Chen had just returned, pointing his right hand directly at the penalty spot, and he awarded a penalty to Aston Villa.
"Penalty! Yes, you read that right! Howard points to the penalty spot and awards a penalty to Aston Villa! Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor was thrilled.
"Oops!" Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray sighed, as if he had expected it.
At this time, Dongfang Chen was carrying a yellow card, and he was about to rush up to Howard to theorize frantically, Sebastian Larsson saw it, and immediately pulled Dongfang Chen, and asked his teammates to hold Dongfang Chen, Sebastian Larsson went up to Howard to ask for an explanation, and the result was that Sebastian Larsson also got a yellow card.
Penalty kick! Howard firmly awarded a penalty to Aston Villa.
The Aston Villa fans immediately erupted in hot cheers, they were very excited, very excited. And the fans of the Birmingham team cursed the referee Howard very much, eager to kill this guy's whole family directly.
"Even! The penalty was a bit reluctant! Although the ball hit James Collins' arm, James Collins's arm was close to his body and did not unfold, we can clearly see that James Collins consciously put his arm on his body, and did not reach out to block the football, this should not be a penalty. Andy Gray, watching the slow-motion replay, said.
After seeing the slow motion, Omidin Taylor didn't think it was a penalty, saying: "Yes, in slow motion, it's really not a penalty, Birmingham are a little wronged. It's no wonder that the players at Birmingham were so suspicious, and Howard made some mistakes in this ball. ”
Penalty kick! It's already a no-brainer, whether you Birmingham accept it or not.
The Birmingham players reluctantly walked out of the penalty area, glaring at the referee Howard as they walked out of the box.
Howard didn't pay attention to these guys, he didn't care what they thought of him.
Howard not only awarded Aston Villa a penalty, but also gave James Collins a yellow card, when James Collins was so angry that he almost didn't rush up to beat Howard, but fortunately he was stopped by the players of the Birmingham team, otherwise this guy would have graduated with a red card.
The Aston Villa fans were excited about the penalty and cheered for their players.
Birmingham fans were cheering on their goalkeeper and now they were pinning all their hopes on Joe Hart.
Aston Villa, it was their striker Abang Laho who walked to the penalty spot, today Abang Lajo was not happy at all, he didn't have a good performance in the previous game, he was completely suppressed by Dongfang Chen, he hoped to use this penalty to find a little confidence and luck, I hope that after this goal, he can show Xiàn more well, and put Dongfang Chen's guy on the head.
Abonlaho walked up to the penalty spot, glanced at Joe Hart in front of goal, and then just didn't run, and slammed his leg into the ball.
Joe Hart was stunned and instantly judged his direction and pounced towards the bottom left corner of the goal. But after he pounced, he found out that the guy Abang Laho was a feint, and the football was directly rubbed by Abang Laho to the middle of the goal.
"Spoon! Spoon penalty! The calm Abonlaho sent the penalty into the Birmingham goal, 2-1, Aston Villa took the lead away and they are now 2-1 ahead of Birmingham! Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor was very excited and shouted excitedly.
Aston Villa fans were also thrilled and celebrated in the stadium as if it were their home stadium.
The Birmingham, on the other hand, are starting to get anxious, and with little time left in the second half, they are now behind and they are in trouble.
Birmingham team manager McLeish was also anxious on the sidelines, they immediately came to the sidelines and shouted loudly, shouting to the Birmingham players to cheer up, now there is still time, continue to attack,
Dongfang Chen was also a little anxious at this time, after all, there was not much time left, and now the team was behind, they had to go all out at this time, otherwise it would be over.
Dongfang Chen waved his hand and signaled the players of the Birmingham team to attack aggressively, yes, by this time, the Birmingham team had to give it a go, otherwise they would not have any chance.
The Birmingham team immediately launched a ferocious offensive and began to lay siege to the Aston Villa team.
Aston Villa's morale is high right now, but they can't stand them with one man less, so when the Birmingham team attacks with impunity, Aston Villa's players are still tired of defending. ,
The crazy Birmingham team began to take over the game, but in the frenzied attack, they were also worried about the counterattack of the Aston Villa team, and if the opponent got a chance to counterattack at this time, the Birmingham team would be completely stopped.
At this time, the players of the Birmingham team were highly focused and did not dare to slack off at all.
In the 34th minute of the second half, Kevin Boateng of the Birmingham team suddenly went on a rampage in the Aston Villa half with his football like a tank, and the Aston Villa defense was shattered.
Then Kevin Boateng directly curled the ball and sent the football to the side, Sebastian Larsson, who was inserted in front of the side, caught up with the football, inverted the triangle backpass, passed the football back to the middle, and followed Dongfang Chen directly and volleyed vigorously, and the football hit Friedel fiercely and flew out of the bottom line.
Corner, Birmingham won a corner, Sebastian Larsson drove the corner, in the middle of the penalty area, bald man James Collins jumped high and hit the goal with a header, but unfortunately the football was slightly over the crossbar.
During this period, the crazy Birmingham team's attack was very ferocious, and Aston Villa was completely suppressed, only in the part of the tired defense at the back.
Aston Villa fans were nervous at this time, they were afraid of being equalised by a goal from Birmingham City at this time.
In the 39th minute of the second half, Birmingham City came back with Sebastian Larsson playing a deftly combination with David Murphy on the flank to get past Aston Villa full-back Luke Young, and then David Murphy curled the ball straight into the Aston Villa penalty area.
Dongfang Chen in the middle directly headed back, Sturridge at the back post met the ball and volleyed, and the football shot quickly towards the goal of Aston Villa.
The Aston Villa fans were almost scared to tears. At this time, Aston Villa's goalkeeper Friedel unexpectedly saved the football, which can be called a miracle save!
Aston Villa fans immediately gave their hero goalkeeper a glowing round of applause.
Birmingham fans can only regret that this goal is a pity. Now the fans of the Birmingham team are very nervous, very worried, time is running out, if the Birmingham team does not score again, the Birmingham team will be finished.
By this time, the Aston Villa fans were already mocking the Birmingham side from the stands and it seemed that they could not resist celebrating the victory.
The stinky appearance of the Aston Villa fans infuriated the Birmingham fans and players, and the Birmingham team immediately launched a ferocious attack.
In the 41st minute of the second half, Dongfang Chen got a long shot opportunity at the front of the penalty area, Dongfang Chen's leg pumped to the football fiercely, and the football shot towards the goal of the Aston Villa team like a cannonball, but unfortunately the football was slightly off, and the ball mill of the Birmingham team regretted it.
Three minutes later, the Birmingham team made a comeback, James Collins in the backfield directly kicked the football forward, Dongfang Chen in the front court jumped high, and directly headed the ball back, and the football immediately rolled to Sturridge in front.
Seeing Sturridge rushing up, Aston Villa's centre-back Curtis Davies immediately rushed out and pressed Sturridge. Sturridge saw Curtis Davis pounce with ferocity, and he immediately stretched out his leg and slammed the ball to the right of his body, trying to get a ball through.
Sturridge's angle was not good, and the ball hit the foot of Curtis Davies, the fast-moving Aston Villa centre-back, and bounced off quickly.
Sturridge was startled, and Curtis Davis had some garlic at his feet.
Suddenly, the Birmingham fans cheered wildly and bounced off their seats.
Because the football that popped up rolled to the feet of Dongfang Chen, who was inserted forward, Dongfang Chen did not stop the ball, but took advantage of the situation to move the football to the left front of his body, directly past Sturridge and Codiser Davis, entered the penalty area, and faced Friedel single-handedly.
"Get in! Dongfang Chen is in! Single Knife! Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray shouted excitedly, he was very excited, very excited. Because there is not much time left in the game, if this goal is scored, it will be a miracle goal.
All the Birmingham fans in the stadium stood up, clasped their hands in front of their chests, and prayed for Dongfang Chen.
And the fans of Aston Villa also stood up, they were praying for Aston Villa at this time, hoping that Dongfang Chen would not go in, and he would definitely not be able to enter.
On the sidelines, the head coach of the Birmingham team, McLeish, also rushed to the sidelines at this time, staring at Dongfang Chen in the stadium with his eyes, praying in his heart, praying that the goal must be scored, must be scored.
At this time, Dongfang Chen carries the hope of all Birmingham people, and Dongfang Chen is the last hope of Birmingham people.
Dongfang Chen rushed into the Aston Villa penalty area with the football without hesitation and faced Aston Villa's goalkeeper Friedel.
Although Friedel was shocked in his heart, he was not slow at his feet, and he rushed out quickly and rushed towards Dongfang Chen.
