I'm 1.9 meters tall and weigh 200 pounds, can I pull the hem?

Let's take a look at the starting lineup for the away team, West Bromwich Albion!

Goalkeeper: Michael McGill!

"Defenders: Brunt, Evans, McCauley, Dawson!"

Midfielders: Berahino, Morrison, Jacob, Fletcher, McClean!

Forward: Rondon!

"Wow, West Bromwich Albion's squad includes quite a few familiar faces!"

"Evans and Fletcher were both Manchester United players before!"

- [How did Fletcher end up at West Bromwich Albion? I remember he was a key midfielder for Manchester United a few years ago!]

- [I heard he was sick; Manchester United said it was a gastrointestinal infection.]

- [It's not a gastrointestinal infection; Manchester United said that to protect their privacy. Anyway, it's some kind of strange illness!]

- [It's ulcerative colitis, which has a huge impact on physical performance. Fletcher used to be an incredibly tireless runner in midfield, but after getting sick, he couldn't run anymore...]

- [This center forward, Rondon, is quite impressive; several Chinese Super League teams are already interested in him.]

……

West Bromwich Albion's skill attributes don't seem like those of a football club.

Their performance has been inconsistent, hovering in the lower half of the table, only slightly above the relegation zone.

However, the club's research department has shone brightly.

Medical and scientific team awards, major research breakthroughs in sports psychology, innovative reforms in nutrition and diet, new emergency treatment plans...

The team has the lowest injury costs and the lowest rate of serious injuries in the Premier League.

It looks like a scientific research institute, and their side business is playing football.

……

Director Almstadt sat in the private box, beaming with pride.

Nobody's holding up a "Almstadt out" banner today.

Conversely, the fans at Villa Park were exceptionally enthusiastic.

They swept away their slump before the last home game against Arsenal.

The team's recent three-game unbeaten run, along with the emergence of Liu Yang and the resurgence of young players like Grealish and Jordan Ayew, have rekindled their hopes of avoiding relegation.

Standing on the field, listening to the enthusiastic cheers of the home fans, Liu Yang felt a mix of emotions.

On the one hand, this was the first time he had walked out of the Premier League players' tunnel as a starter.

On the other hand, while in the players' tunnel, he noticed several West Brom defenders glancing at him and Grealish several times.

The look in his eyes wasn't friendly.

The referee stood in the center circle.

Liu Yang recognized the familiar bald head.

Anthony Taylor.

Liu Yang gave a wry smile; he had already anticipated what kind of situation would unfold on the field today.

……

Rondon placed the ball on the teeing spot in the center circle.

This center forward from Venezuela is tall and muscular, with a very intimidating appearance.

Indeed, this is true; in addition to playing football, he is an amateur boxer.

When he was young, Rondon even considered switching to basketball because of his rapid growth spurt.

His idol is Michael Jordan, the "God of Basketball".

Taylor waved his hand and blew the whistle to start the game.

"The match has started! Rondon passes the ball back to midfield!"

"Neither of these teams has a very strong attack; I feel like the goal will come rather late!"

"Why are people still betting on 4-1? Can those two teams score that many goals?"

"Fletcher, under pressure, pass the ball back to the defense."

"Evans, get the ball again, pass it forward, West Brom are trying to break up Villa's high press!"

"Oops, it's been cut off!"

"Veretout, pass the ball to Grealish on the left wing!"

The young English talent received the ball on the wing.

His recent three-game unbeaten streak has given him tremendous confidence.

Although Liu Yang was undoubtedly the most dazzling one, Grealish's performance was not bad either!

He has provided an assist in each of his last three matches!

Seeing West Brom right-back Brunt coming up to defend, Grealish decisively chose to break through on his own!

"Wow, one's gone, now for another!"

"Cut inside and dunk! Go for it!"

"Beautiful! Grealish scores a solo goal! He takes on the entire opposing defense one-on-one!"

"Aston Villa took a 1-0 lead at home in less than two minutes!"

"Can we let Liu Yang and his brother win this game without lifting a finger?"

- [666, what a cool dragon dance!]

- [Having gotten used to seeing Liu Yang and his brothers dominate the mid lane, this solo dragon run on this side lane is quite exciting too!]

A strong run through the middle is much harder than down the wings, but Grealish's goal was still spectacular!

I still remember Grealish and Liu Yang flying side-by-side back then.

Grealish rushed to the sidelines to celebrate with the home crowd!

The camera immediately focused on Pulis on the sidelines.

A bald old man with a ruddy complexion stood on the sidelines, his face expressionless.

……

West Bromwich Albion restarted play.

Two consecutive attacks failed to achieve their goal.

Possession returned to Aston Villa.

"Guy, intercept the ball and pass it to Veretout, then to Liu Yang!"

"Liu Yang, you should also do a one-stop service!"

"Wow, that's so selfless!"

Liu Yang spotted Grealish on the left wing.

This guy's in hot form right now, so let's focus on hitting that side more often.

Without hesitation, he passed the ball to them.

"Grellish's here again, want another one?"

"One passed!"

"Wow, that's really ruthless..."

Grealish took a solid kick and fell to the ground in pain, clutching his ankle.

"Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!..."

Anthony Taylor blew his whistle several times before stopping Liu Yang and several other Villa players who came forward to argue.

However, he didn't even issue a yellow card for West Brom's foul involving showing his studs!

"Hey, what's this move? Not even a single card?"

Gard was yelling and shouting on the sidelines, clearly very unhappy.

Meanwhile, old man Priss on the other side showed a satisfied expression.

Veretout stands in front of the ball, ready to handle this set piece positioned on the wing.

Pass it into the penalty area!

Rondon, who was tracking back, headed the ball away first.

West Bromwich Albion's counter-attack!

Snapped!

Gay, who was trailing behind, bumped into Fletcher, who was dribbling forward, and stole the ball back.

Anthony Taylor waved his hands, indicating that there was no foul!

Now it was old man Pulis's turn to get angry on the sidelines, his already red face turning even redder.

Liu Yang was speechless.

In some ways, what bald Taylor said was actually quite fair.

……

Grealish was furious after being kicked so hard.

They were desperately calling for the ball on the left wing.

I swear to kill these damned bastards!

He was in great form in this match, and West Brom's right flank defense simply couldn't withstand his attacks!

So what should we do?

We have no choice but to continue with the logging tactics.

Grealish tripped again and rolled several times on the ground.

Anthony Taylor stopped the game again.

Still no cards were drawn.

The viewers in the live stream were all gasping in shock.

West Bromwich Albion commits so many fouls, it's fucking dirty!

- [This is one of Pulis's old tricks; Ramsey's leg was broken by his Stoke City team!]

[Quickly pass the ball to Liu Yang!]

Grealish is really stubborn, constantly demanding the ball and driving to the basket, and the opposing team is targeting him relentlessly, fouling him repeatedly!

- [Forget it, Liu Yang, you should just coast along. With that kind of play from the other side, if he performs well, he'll definitely get kicked a few times!]

-【That's how Anthony Taylor talks—he's lenient, he doesn't exaggerate the big moves on either side.】

-【So Villa is still at a disadvantage. West Brom, with the guidance of manager Pulis, is clearly better suited to this intensity!】

In the first twenty minutes or so, West Bromwich Albion used foul after foul to fragment the game.

Poor Grealish took the brunt of the team's injuries.

West Bromwich Albion, through their logging tactics, gradually broke free from Aston Villa's dominance and began to launch a counterattack.

……

In the 27th minute, Grealish was dribbling down the left flank when he was knocked to the ground again.

Anthony Taylor still didn't call a foul!

West Bromwich Albion launches a counterattack!

With the intention of standing up for his teammate, Guy kicked Rondon, who was carrying the ball, to the ground!

Anthony Taylor immediately called a foul.

And then he finally pulled out the first yellow card of the whole game!

The home fans at Villa Park erupted in boos.

This time, it wasn't given to their own team, but to the referee, Taylor!

Garde angrily berated the referee from the sidelines.

As Liu Yang watched West Bromwich Albion's free kick drift into the penalty area, the Shearer module in his mind slowly began to shine.

How can a good shooter not be able to judge the landing point?

Liu Yang stretched out his leg and actually stopped the ball!

Without hesitation, he passed the ball to Grealish, who was waiting in the attacking third!

Then he lowered his head, accelerated, and launched a counterattack!

……

As soon as Grealish dribbled past half-field, three West Brom players immediately surrounded him with ill intent.

Despite his hot streak, he became somewhat wary after being repeatedly fouled.

Even viewers in the live streams far away in the East were worried about him.

"Go ahead and tell Grealish, these guys just love to stab you!"

"Liu Yang is in the mid lane, and Jordan Ayew is on the far end!"

Grealish caught a glimpse of Liu Yang out of the corner of his eye.

He quickly passed the ball out.

Fletcher desperately tried to keep up with Liu Yang, who was cutting ahead at high speed.

However, the moment the boy with the Asian face in front of him received the ball, Fletcher felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

This isn't even the limit?

This kid can speed up too.

He's faster with the ball than when he's not?

Liu Yang moved the ball forward.

The youthful Bell module in my mind lit up slightly.

With a burst of speed, he left all of West Brom's defenders behind!

One-on-one with the goalkeeper!

West Bromwich Albion's goalkeeper, Michael McGill, had no other choice.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and rush towards Liu Yang's feet.

With a slight change of direction, Liu Yang easily fooled him!

Faced with an open goal, he chose to back off!

Grealish, who was following behind, finally didn't have so many people waiting to kick him when he wasn't dribbling the ball.

A shot found the empty net!

Wow, that's amazing!

"It's Liu Yang's solo adventure again!"

"He passed the ball to Grealish with an open goal!"

"That's so selfless! Liu Yang is giving up his scoring opportunity to Grealish, who's been getting fouled so much, just to help him get revenge!"

Grealish scores twice, Aston Villa take a 2-0 lead at home!

- [Two goals in less than half an hour? Is this still Villa?]

[Could it be that the "Draw Guy" actually guessed right? If he bets on a 4-1 victory, I'm really going to get angry!]

The most difficult part right now seems to be the "1".

-【We still have to rely on Liu Yang! He didn't do much before, but once he made a move, he widened the score gap!】

- [Liu Yang is such a good guy; he knows his teammates are being bullied, so he always gives up open-goal opportunities!]

……

After scoring the goal, Grealish sprinted around the field, pumping his fist and roaring as he vented his anger!

Then he pointed with both hands at the West Bromwich Albion coaching bench with a disdainful expression.

Liu Yang was the first to rush over, and Grealish took the initiative to hug him, whispering in his ear:

"Thank you, Liu!"

On the other side, the ruddy-faced old man, Pulis, became even ruddy, and steam seemed to rise from his bald scalp.

He called over the players who were nearby.

"Focus your defense on that big guy who wears number 19!"

"He is Vera's biggest threat!"

……

The game restarted after the lap time.

With a two-goal lead, Aston Villa were noticeably more relaxed.

The pace gradually slowed down amid cheers and applause from the home fans.

But Liu Yang noticed the change.

West Bromwich Albion shifted their defensive focus from the wing where Grealish was positioned to the center.

Liu Yang dropped back to midfield to receive the ball, and Fletcher followed up.

Guy made a through pass, and Liu Yang took the ball, turned, and shrugged off Fletcher, preparing to accelerate!

Then, a sharp pain shot through me!

"Holy shit!"

Liu Yang clutched his ankle, the pain so intense that he even blurted out his hometown dialect from before he transmigrated!

Morrison, who came over to help defend, landed his spikes firmly on the top of his foot!

Liu Yang couldn't stop in time, and his ankle twisted as a result!

Fortunately, it wasn't a serious sprain. The team doctor quickly came onto the field to give Liu Yang some basic treatment and relieve his pain.

The players from both sides got into another argument.

This time, even Anthony Taylor's whistle was not used.

Although this guy encourages confrontation and doesn't apply double standards to either side, he easily loses control of the situation on the field, causing both sides to escalate their actions.

……

Norwich City.

Carroll Road Stadium.

Arsenal's league match against Norwich has just ended.

Wenger returned to the locker room seething with anger.

Arsenal missed numerous scoring opportunities throughout the match and ultimately drew with Norwich away from home.

I just turned on Aston Villa's live stream and saw Liu Yang get fouled solidly.

"Damn it, that old bastard Priss!"

Wenger finally lost his temper and, disregarding his usual gentlemanly image, started swearing.

……

After a brief period of treatment, Liu Yang returned to the court to compete.

The ankle is not seriously injured, just some minor hard injuries.

But it still aches faintly.

These small expenditures, if accumulated, can easily lead to serious injuries.

Many star players who are frequently fouled often suffer a wave of injuries as a result, leading to their rapid decline in popularity.

……

The ankle pain still affected Liu Yang's performance on the court to some extent.

His breakthrough, acceleration, and passing motion were all a beat too slow.

It is no longer possible to break through the defenses directly through individual ability.

Frustrated and with nowhere to vent his anger, Liu Yang took advantage of a corner kick attack and, upon landing, pretended to accidentally step on Morrison's instep, who had just fouled him.

Given his weight, a scream rang out from the West Bromwich Albion crowd.

Anthony Taylor did not see it.

It's also possible that they saw it but chose not to care.

"Too bad I missed. I was aiming for his ankle, to let this guy know what he did to me..."

Grealish wasn't much better off; he was fouled even more often.

This kid isn't as cunning as Liu Yang; when someone kicks him, he still rushes in headfirst.

The result was that he continued to get kicked.

With their attacking duo underperforming, West Bromwich Albion capitalized on the opportunity to launch a counterattack, with Rondon scoring a goal before the end of the first half.

"Beep! Beep! Beep!"

Anthony Taylor finally blew the whistle to end the first half.

Villa went into halftime with a 2-1 lead.
