Youri Tielemans' Villa debut from his point of view shows how intense the Premier League is, it's no joke

A video of Youri Tielemans' Aston Vila debut from his point of view makes for fascinating viewing and gives a great insight into the Premier League.

Tielemans joined Villa on a free transfer following the expiration of his Leicester City contract and he made his first run out for the club against Newcastle United in the Premier League Summer Series.

The Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia played host to Newcastle vs. Villa as they drew 3-3, with the Belgium midfielder making his debut in the second-half.

The 26-year-old wore a bodycam as he entered the fray, with the video of his outing since being shared on social media.

The Premier League have uploaded the star player's debut from his POV, and fans can't get enough of it.

One thing the footage highlights is the sheer intensity of the Premier League. Tielemans barely ever has any significant time on the ball as he makes his on-field decisions with a split second.

The bodycam clip also shows the incredible speed of a top-flight game.

Needless to say, the POV video got people online talking.

One Twitter user wrote: "Omds you don’t even get a second on the ball."

A second tweeted: "So cool to see. Only pre-season but you get a feel for how quickly they’re closed down. Barely time to take a touch."

A third added: "This intensity is crazy. The amount of time you get on the ball too sheesh."

A fourth said: "I love this sort of vision. Gives a great indication of the lack of time and space. The game moves so quickly. Great stuff."

Another commented: "People saying that they'd score a few goals being striker at Man City kills me, these footballers are physical freaks you'd be done by minute 30."

Based on Tielemans' video, a POV of an actual Premier League fixture would make for brilliant viewing.
