"Guys, you played well, keep it up in the second half."

"Their actions are quite aggressive, and the referee is being lenient. We can also make some moves in a bit, don't be afraid, but at the same time, protect yourselves..."

This is the first time in nearly two months since Garder took over that he has returned to the locker room with a lead.

But his expression didn't look good at all.

Liu Yang was rubbing his ankle, and Grealish's socks were even torn, with traces of blood seeping out.

If either of these two key offensive players gets injured, the team will not be able to maintain its current form.

Guy looked very frustrated. Although he was young, he knew a lot of tricks and kept "retaliating" for his teammates.

As a result, he was the only one to receive a yellow card, while West Bromwich Albion didn't receive a single card.

They certainly wouldn't dare to be reckless in the second half.

Jordan Ayew patted Grealish on the shoulder.

"It's okay, buddy. The referee is pretty lenient. I'll give them some dirty tricks in the second half too."

"That's right, that's right."

Traore clenched his fists, making his strong muscles stand out even more.

"If a real fight breaks out, I'll be the first to rush in and help you guys. Those guys will only resort to dirty tricks..."

……

"Alright, halftime is over. Let's see what happens next!"

Will Aston Villa be able to adapt to West Bromwich Albion's logging tactics?

As Anthony Taylor blew his whistle to signal the start of the game, Jordan Ayew passed the ball to the midfield and backcourt.

After organizing their play in their own half, Aston Villa began to slowly push forward into the opponent's half.

After playing for a few minutes, Liu Yang realized that West Bromwich Albion had not changed at all, and had even become worse.

The first half was only targeting one of him and Grealish.

In the second half, they started using dirty tackles indiscriminately!

"Oops, Grealish's been knocked down again!"

"The referee did not give a signal!"

"Poor Grealish, why do they always foul him so much?"

"West Brom gets the ball, passes it back to Evans, then to Fletcher!"

"Wow, Jordan Ayew's defensive transition was crucial; Fletcher is down on the ground!"

"It looks like Ayu made an elbow strike motion!"

"But it's very well hidden!"

"The referee also made no call!"

"This young African man is only 23 years old, but he already plays like a seasoned veteran!"

"Jordan Ayew dribbled forward! And he got fouled too!"

"Evans' arm movements are quite obvious!"

"The referee still hasn't given a signal! What the hell is he trying to do?"

"Evans went down too? Liu Yang kicked him while he was trying to steal the ball!"

"Sorry for the question, it was Evans' ankle that hit Liu Yang's cleats!"

"A referee who doesn't call a foul on our brother Liu Yang is a good referee!"

In the second half, both sides had a general understanding of Anthony Taylor's limits, so their actions became more unrestrained.

The tension in the competition was escalating.

In the 57th minute, Gay fouled Fletcher during a defensive play, and Taylor finally called a foul!

However, both sides had strong opinions.

Gay believes that, according to the overall standards of the game, this move was not a foul at all!

The West Brom players naturally disagreed with his views, and another argument ensued.

Liu Yang and Grealish, who had suffered greatly in the first half, also rushed over!

"What do you mean? Is this never going to end? You can kick me, but we can't kick you?"

The tall and burly Liu Yang strode over aggressively, then suddenly rushed forward and grabbed two people by the collar with one hand each.

His physical presence was so intimidating that while the West Brom players were verbally aggressive, their bodies betrayed their true intentions as they fought and retreated.

But Liu Yang didn't do anything else besides that.

The game is still far from over; it would be a huge loss if he were sent off.

Just as Pulis sat back down on the bench, an assistant coach reminded him that Gay, who had been called for a foul, already had a yellow card!

Pulis, who had just taken a sip of water, stuck the cup in his hand, launched himself forward, and charged toward the linesman on the sidelines with his assistant coach, shouting loudly that Gay should be sent off with a second yellow card!

Chaos erupted on the field!

The experienced Aston Villa center-back, Lescott, is a seasoned Premier League veteran. Seeing Guy, who already had a yellow card, in the center of the dispute, he immediately pulled him out of the fray.

He stepped forward and joined the forefront of the argument!

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

Anthony Taylor kept whistling, but no one paid any attention to him!

The spectators at Villa Park, seemingly eager for chaos, added the final fuel to the fire.

Someone started it, and they began chanting slogans in unison.

"Anthony Taylor is blind!"

"Tony Price is a bastard!"

A layer of glistening sweat appeared on Taylor's bald forehead.

……

The argument lasted for several minutes.

The referee team finally separated the two sides.

Although the scene was quite chaotic at one point, the two sides did not actually fight; there was only constant hurling of insults and occasional shoving.

Taylor couldn't show a red card, so he could only show a yellow card and write down the names of Liu Yang and Lescott.

Unfortunately, they overlooked Guy, who had a yellow card on his back.

West Bromwich Albion also received several yellow cards.

……

The match has resumed.

Perhaps it was because of his tough performance in the earlier conflict, but Liu Yang noticed that West Bromwich Albion had toned down their defensive actions against him.

But others don't receive this treatment.

In the 65th minute, Grealish was knocked down in front of the penalty arc.

"Beep!"

Anthony Taylor called another foul.

Liu Yang realized that Anthony Taylor was trying to gradually tighten his belt.

This approach will certainly cause some dissatisfaction, but if this level of behavior is allowed to continue, the tension on the field will get out of control, and the two teams will soon have to start an unrestricted fighting tournament.

But this time West Bromwich Albion had something to say, and several West Bromwich Albion players went up to argue with the referee.

Old man Pulis was furious on the sidelines.

"Where was that foul? That kid was just faking it!"

Grealish, who was sitting on the ground clutching his foot, heard this and was so angry that he immediately tried to get up and rush to the sidelines.

However, the pain in his ankle made him sit down again after just standing up and taking one step.

Liu Yang was quite dissatisfied and wanted to go over to argue, and several Villa players followed closely behind.

But no one could outrun Gard, who was directing from the sidelines.

He strode over and started hurling insults at the old man, using his still somewhat broken English mixed with some French profanities!

……

"Beep! Beep! Beep!"

Anthony Taylor finally managed to separate the arguing group of people.

First, he went to the sidelines and gave each of Pulis and Garde a yellow card.

Then he returned to the field and drew a line slightly to the right of the penalty area.

Several Villa players stood nearby, discussing how to serve the ball.

Aston Villa's set-piece ability is generally average; only Grealish and Veretout are reliable.

However, Grealish has already left the field temporarily to treat his injury.

Veretout's set pieces tend to be more of a passing move, but this position is better suited for a direct shot.

"Brothers, let me give it a try."

Liu Yang raised his hand in response.

The other teammates were slightly surprised, as they hadn't seen Liu Yang's free kicks much in previous training sessions.

However, Liu Yang has been in such excellent form lately, and the team doesn't have any reliable free-throw shooters.

So everyone agreed.

……

"Alright, alright, the argument on the field is finally over."

"Why do all these matches that bald-headed Taylor is promoting always turn into brawls?"

"Aston Villa have a good free-kick position; they can shoot directly at the goal!"

"Let's see who takes the penalty!"

"Oh, it's actually Liu Yang?"

"I've never seen the Liu Yang brothers take a free kick before!"

The young streamer and the viewers in the bullet screen stared wide-eyed with curiosity.

Taking a direct free kick is actually not that simple.

The free-kick masters in football history were all highly skilled.

You either need to be exceptionally accurate, possessing skill and precision, to find the perfect spot that the goalkeeper can't handle.

Either you have to be exceptionally fierce, possessing both strength and speed, capable of directly overpowering the goalkeeper's defense through sheer force.

If you don't have either of those, you'll be blocked by the wall of players and won't even be able to get into the restricted area.

Or even if they get past the human wall, they can be easily taken off.

The opposing goalkeeper had no idea what was going on.

They might even comfort you by saying, "It's okay, it's great that you came."

……

Liu Yang placed the ball behind the white line.

I looked at the position of the human wall.

He was mentally planning how to hit the ball.

The wall of players was positioned on the right side of the goal, with goalkeeper Myhill positioned on the left.

The audience at Villa Park held their breath.

Liu Yang took a few steps back.

The module for Prouss in my mind lit up slightly.

Run-up, arm swing, leg swing, shot!

The ball went around the wall of players from the right.

Then it made a sharp turn and darted toward the right side of the goal!

Goalkeeper Michael was taken aback.

The ball wasn't far away, but this kid managed to curve it in such a wide arc.

He didn't even have time to make a save!

The ball spun and went into the right side of the goal!

Wow! That was amazing!

"Liu Yang's 'Crescent Moon Slash' kick!"

"The score is now 3-1!"

"The goalkeeper didn't even have time to react!"

"That's incredible, Brother Liu Yang!"

"Those who bet on Villa to win are about to cash out!"

The young anchor raised his fists and waved them excitedly, accidentally knocking over the microphone next to the table.

Wow, what a cool arc!

- [We took a really big turn and went around the human wall!]

-【The key is that it could even curve back and fly into the goal!】

- [Beckham! No, it's Liu Beckham!]

-【I think this Liu Yang brother still has a lot of charm...】

……

Villa Park stadium trembled slightly from the overwhelming gasps of surprise!

Liu Yang spread his arms and ran all the way to the sidelines!

He glanced at Grealish, who had just finished treatment.

Then he turned to Priss, who had just accused Grealish of acting.

Raise your right hand, hold up your index finger, and place it near your mouth.

Wow, what a powerful celebration move!

"That old bald West Brom coach keeps grumbling on the sidelines, and Liu Yang is telling him to shut up!"

Old man Pulis stood on the sidelines, his face flushed, but he couldn't utter a single word, as if a toad had stuck in his throat.

Grealish, sitting on the bench, clapped and laughed knowingly.

Meanwhile, on the West Bromwich Albion bench...

Gnabry quietly covered most of his face with a towel.

Although he's about to return to Arsenal, the formalities aren't finished yet, and he'll still be a West Brom player for the next few days.

You can't let others capture your gloating expression.

……

Meanwhile, Garde, after celebrating his goal, was also busy at Villa's side.

With a two-goal lead, he immediately substituted Grealish with Carlos Sanchez, who plays as a defensive midfielder.

This kid seems to have some kind of magic, constantly attracting opposing defenders to tackle him.

Carroll Road Stadium.

Wenger asked his assistant coach, Boulder, with a puzzled look, "When did Liu learn to kick that kind of free kick?"

Boulder shook his head.

"Liu in his youth team days was very threatening with direct free kicks."

"But with that kind of arc and that kind of angle, he has definitely improved at Villa."

……

Goalkeeper Michael sat on the ground and pounded the turf hard.

"Damn it, if this were a football video game, this kid's set-piece ability would definitely be over 90!"

Rondon walked dejectedly to the center circle, clutching the ball.

Trailing by two goals away from home, they still conceded such a beautiful world-class goal.

West Bromwich Albion players' morale has been severely damaged.

"Fletcher, you've lost possession!"

"Guy steals the ball and passes it up the court!"

"Liu Yang received the ball and faked out Fletcher!"

"Then he dribbled past the defender... Wow, what kind of move is that!"

The young anchor was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table.

Liu Yang was tackled hard from behind and fell to the ground!

- [Ouch, that really hurts!]

- [The spikes were aimed directly at the calf!]

He has to be sent off! This isn't football at all!

Wow, it looks like Liu Yang's calf was slashed!

A surge of anger welled up in Liu Yang's heart. Ignoring the pain in his calf, he got up and ran over to find the culprit!

Aston Villa's teammates immediately and tacitly performed their respective duties.

Jordan Ayew and Veretout stood one in front and one behind, blocking Liu Yang tightly!

"Calm down, buddy, you have a yellow card!"

"Don't get sent off, we'll stand up for you!"

Meanwhile, several other teammates rushed up to confront the West Brom players.

Several Villa defenders rushed over from their own half to stand up for Liu Yang.

Morrison, who had committed the foul, was already mentally broken. He walked off the field with his head down without saying a word.

Faced with such an action, even Anthony Taylor would certainly have shown a red card.

Still furious, Liu Yang took the ball and, ignoring the pain in his calf, insisted on taking the free kick himself.

"Calm down, calm down, let's see how to take this shot..."

Liu Yang took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down for the time being.

This free kick is from the left side of the center, further away than the previous one.

This means that while maintaining accuracy, you also need to achieve a faster ball speed.

West Bromwich Albion lined up their wall of players positioned on the left, while goalkeeper Michael McGill was positioned on the right.

So what if we're on the right?

Liu Yang's approach run was longer than before.

The Prouss module in my mind lit up.

The long-unseen Alan Schiller module also lit up at the same time.

While not as renowned as some of the most famous free-kick masters, Shearer was still a skilled free-kick taker.

My favorite way to take a penalty is to unleash a powerful shot into the corner!

The combination of precise angles and the power of the feet.

Liu Yang has started kicking!

boom!

The ball was spinning intensely, but its speed was much faster than the previous kick!

Michael was stunned!

Knowing he was standing on the right, why did the child still choose to hit this way?

Go ahead to dangers?

He stretched out his whole body in an attempt to make the save.

But this ball was incredibly fast and at an extremely tricky angle!

After circling around, it precisely burrowed into the junction of the crossbeam and the right-side doorpost!

4-1!

Villa Park is ignited once again!

Liu Yang, who scored the goal, turned around expressionlessly, his eyes flashing with cold-bloodedness.

"Foul? You like fouling?"

Liu Yang stood there, shrugged, and gave a mocking look.

"I'll still beat you to a pulp!"
