drop!
The referee blew the whistle to start the game. Just after picking up Bai Ye, Bournemouth won the kick-off, and Wilson passed the ball back to midfield.
After Bai Ye received the ball, he did not launch an attack directly. No matter how weak the Premier League team is, it is still much stronger than the English Championship team. After all, every Premier League team, even the relegation team, has climbed up from the English Championship. .
Bournemouth cannot be anxious. It is difficult to attack when the opponent does not give space.
After all, Bournemouth's players don't have the delicate coordination of those Premier League teams, and they basically go straight and forward.
Aston Villa is not as conservative as Bournemouth at home. They have been frustrated in the Premier League and naturally want to get back from Bournemouth.
Therefore, after the opening, Aston Villa immediately started pressing.
Forcing Bournemouth's players to play the ball and look for opportunities to steal.
China.
CCTV Sports broadcast this FA Cup match live. The reason is naturally because Bai Ye's popularity in China has grown rapidly in the past few months.
Especially because the English Championship is not broadcast in China, many fans who want to watch Baiye's games can only watch pirated foreign live broadcast links on the Internet. The picture quality is very blurry and there is no formal Chinese commentary. They are all football betting anchors, and they broadcast it in order to lure people into betting.
Don’t believe this kind of pirated live broadcast advertisement! Many times the platform just makes money and runs away!
He Wei explains the game.
In the first few minutes of the game, He Wei also said: "Bournemouth, as a British Championship team, faces the Premier League team Aston Villa and has no idea of attacking for the time being. This is why Bournemouth The usual style of play in the English Championship is defensive counterattack.
Aston Villa is in the Premier League this season precisely because of its weak offensive ability, but its defensive performance is okay. Aston Villa's losses can basically be controlled to less than two.
Even Chelsea only beat Aston Villa by one goal.
However, Aston Villa scored only one goal in almost every game, and more often failed to score.
This is the character of Villa this season. I just don’t know how Villa will perform against this British Championship team today. Judging from the current situation, Villa obviously wanted to grab the start, and their pressing was very successful in surrounding Bournemouth in the half.
But can Villa score a goal? After all, Bournemouth has seen this scene too many times. On the contrary, Villa must be careful of Bournemouth's counterattack!
Bai Ye in the Bournemouth team is the player with the highest counterattack efficiency in the entire English Championship! And it’s a cliff-like lead! "
He Wei's words are relatively pertinent in the eyes of Chinese fans.
This game has attracted a lot of attention on the Net. After all, Chinese fans are now very concerned about Bai Ye, a Chinese player. Some bloggers have already popularized Bai Ye's background. He is completely one of his own, and it's just his nationality. in Spain.
It is the dream of many Chinese fans to have a Chinese face appear on the stage of the top league. Now Bai Ye's emergence makes everything possible!
"Watching Bai Ye's highlights every day, I can finally watch one of Bai Ye's live games. It's not easy. I hope Bai Ye will transfer to the top league soon so that we can watch his games every week. It's even okay See Baiye playing in the Champions League!”
"Indeed, the characteristics of Bai Ye can't be seen from the current game. When Bournemouth counterattacks, it will probably be Bai Ye's moment of performance. Just wait and see, if Bournemouth wants to win this game, it must be Rely on Bai Ye! Otherwise they won’t be able to pass the ball to the frontcourt.”
"Villa is actually very weak this season, but it still has a great advantage against Bournemouth. Now they can play against Bournemouth, but this situation may make Villa's players uncomfortable. After all, They are usually suppressed by other Premier League teams and now they are suppressing others, maybe they won’t be able to play anymore.”
The fans' words also have some basis. At least at Villa Park currently, Aston Villa's offense is indeed not that smooth.
Their attacks were blocked by Bournemouth again and again.
Head coach Paul Lambert watched the scene from the sidelines with a serious look on his face. He really can't lose this game.
The defeat in the league puts him at great risk of dismissal. He ranks in the top three in the Premier League's odds list of head coaches being fired.
Lambert was a credit to Aston Villa as he became Aston Villa's manager on 2 June 2012, replacing Alex McLeish who had left the club two weeks earlier. In the first two seasons, he led the team to 15th place in the league and successfully avoided relegation.
But this season, although Villa remained unbeaten with 3 wins and 1 draw in the first 4 rounds of the league, starting from the 0-3 loss to Arsenal in the 5th round, Lambert's team once suffered a 6-game losing streak in the league. In the last 10 rounds of the league, Villa has also had 3 draws, 7 losses and a win. Villa's 659 minutes without scoring in the Premier League also set a new club record!
Even he himself feels that dismissal is not far away. After all, the Premier League has dismissed five head coaches before him this season. He feels that he may be the sixth one, but he still wants to struggle.
But now, Villa's offensive constipation problem has extended from facing Premier League teams to now facing English Championship teams. This made Lambert even more uncomfortable.
On the court.
Fifteen minutes have passed at this time, and Villa has been besieging Bournemouth, but they have no chance of scoring!
Villa's offense did not pose a real threat. Instead, Bournemouth almost passed a good ball. Fortunately, Villa's core midfielder Spanish player Hill predicted it in advance and blocked Cook. The ball passed to Shiraye.
Otherwise, if Bai Ye catches the ball, Vera will be threatened! Wilson on the left is already getting ready to start!
Although it is a half-time offensive and defensive drill, in the eyes of all commentators, the current situation on the court does not appear to be one-sided.
"Villa's offense still has an old problem. When it comes to the offensive third zone, I don't know what to do. The players did a good job in the front, but they got confused in the final stage.
Now it feels to me that these are not two teams at different levels, but more like teams at the same level playing.
Villa don't have many chances. Perhaps once Bournemouth seizes the opportunity, the outcome of this game will be unpredictable! "
He Wei explained this game. So far, he has not seen any exciting scenes. If it were not for Bai Ye, CCTV would not broadcast such a game live.
But it is precisely because of Bai Ye that even for such a boring game, the ratings are not worse than those of some top league games, except for the showdown between the rich and powerful, of course.
This is also because China is really in football now and is too weak! Fans really hope to see a Chinese face appear in the top arena!
In the field of basketball, starting from Dayao and then to Lin Crazy, who is touted by many people, this is the case. Chinese fans need someone who can build their confidence!
Now that Baiye has become a hope in the football field, the attention is naturally high.
However, just when He Wei felt that the scene was dull, the situation on the court suddenly changed!
Villa's forward Benteke, when facing Cook's defense, suddenly changed direction and accelerated, and Cook fell to the ground!
Benteke saw the defender fall to the ground and immediately broke through without hesitation. Benteke's position is Cook's key defense. When Cook falls, Alphick, who is closest to him, cannot catch up so quickly.
It directly gave Benteke a very good empty-net opportunity!
Although Benteke had a very outrageous scene in Liverpool, even famous domestic commentator Zhan Jun went into a rare rage in the live broadcast room and said: "CTMD Benteke, wouldn't it be over if he pushed the empty goal early?"
However, Benteke's strength is still very good, otherwise why would he be based in the Premier League. So when faced with such an opportunity, this time he may have thought of the mistakes he made in the past, and this time he was very decisive!
Facing Bournemouth's substitute goalkeeper Kemp, he fired a violent volley!
Bang!
The football flew towards the net, and Kemp made the save immediately, but the ball was relatively fast, and Cook fell to the ground suddenly, so Kemp did not react in time, and the ball entered the net at the tip of his finger!
Uh-huh!
Benteke scored!
Aston Villa successfully scored a goal at home, the score was 1-0! !
Benteke rushed out of the stadium to celebrate, and the entire Villa Park fans cheered excitedly. They needed such a goal!
But the Bournemouth fans on the other side were not in such a good mood.
Not just because of the goals!
But they also saw Cook, their main defender, clutching the back of his thigh after suddenly falling to the ground.
injured!
This is the first thought of Bournemouth fans.
Teammates also noticed that Cook was beating the turf after falling to the ground and seemed to be in some pain. They quickly gathered around and called the team doctor to come on.
Suddenly, a huge change occurred in Bournemouth.
Not only did they lose the ball, but also the main players were injured, and it rained all night!
This also caught many people off guard.
