Chapter 983: Four Crowns? Monthly Pass)(1/2)

All the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals matches ended in 01/013.

Aston Villa, Barcelona, ​​Dortmund and Bayern Munich entered the semi-finals of the Champions League this season.

In the second half, Aston Villa will face Dortmund.

In the first half, Barcelona will face the challenge of Bayern Munich.

The media also exclaimed the outstanding performance of the Bundesliga in the Champions League this season.

As the healthiest league in football, the Bundesliga has always been known for its rational investment and good finances.

Such a Bundesliga team is indeed quite remarkable to be able to occupy two seats in the semi-finals of the Champions League, facing the rich teams waving the checkbook and major clubs.

UEFA also wrote a special article to praise the Bundesliga, praising the Bundesliga for showing people the sustainable development of football.

Some German media are also looking forward to Aston Villa and Dortmund eliminating their respective opponents respectively and stage a brilliant scene of the Bundesliga civil war in the Champions League final.

However, there are also some more rational German media who believe that the prospects for promotions of both Dortmund and Bayern Munich are not optimistic.

There is no need to say more about Dortmund. It is so difficult for Bumblebee to kill Aston Villa.

It is also quite difficult for Bayern Munich to defeat Barcelona Dream Team.

Therefore, in the eyes of many media, this season's UEFA Champions League final will have a high chance of being the peak showdown between Aston Villa and Barcelona:

This is also the second time that the two teams met in the Champions League final two years ago.

...

Fang Jue doesn't like the media's one-sided optimism about Aston Villa's elimination of Dortmund.

He always believed that when everyone said something, it would not be a good thing.

So, on the training ground, Fang Jue suddenly became more and more strict.

He also repeatedly reminded and warned players not to be confused by the praise and optimistic remarks of the media.

"Don't look at them praising us now, we will definitely reach the finals."

"But if we are really addicted to it and think everything will go well, then if we fall apart, the first person who jumps out and calls us idiots is the people who praise us today."

Two days later, Aston Villa ushered in the FA Cup semi-finals on the weekend.

Because they played in the FA Cup semi-finals, they were postponed to May 7 in this round and the 33rd Premier League match.

This is also the second time that Aston Villa has postponed the league game this season due to the FA Cup match.

Unlike the Serie A and La Liga, there are only one league and one cup matches. In addition to the league, there is also the FA Cup and the League Cup, which makes the Premier League teams very intensive.

Especially when the sprint stage at the end of the season, teams like Aston Villa that are still 'surviving' in the FA Cup will become more crowded.

There was once a Premier League head coach who proposed to put the FA Cup game in the middle of the week instead of the traditional weekend.

The FA flatly rejected the proposal.

In the FA Cup game on the weekend, there will be a significant increase in commercial income and broadcast income compared to mid-week, which is a very direct economic account.

In the end, in this FA Cup semi-finals, Aston Villa defeated Vigan Athletics 2-1 and reached the FA Cup final this season.

In this game, Fang Jue rotated the team to a certain extent.

Vigan Athletics has caused some trouble for Aston Villa.

However, at the critical moment, Shinji Kagawa and De Bruyne scored two goals in ten minutes, helping the team win the game.

...

Aston Villa has won the English League title before.

In the Premier League, Aston Villa scored 79 points, leading Manchester United, who ranked second with 77 points.

However, Aston Villa has two games less and Manchester United has one less game. In this case, the media is still relatively optimistic about Aston Villa defending the Premier League championship.

Now, in the FA Cup, Aston Villa has also reached the final.

In the Champions League, Aston Villa also reached the semi-finals.

Some media have begun to discuss whether Aston Villa can really become the king of the four-tier cities and create a history of four-tier champions?

One day later, the result of another FA Cup semi-finals also came out. Manchester City defeated the Blues Chelsea with goals from Aguero and Nasri, 2-1, and is close to the FA Cup final this season.

Their opponent in the FA Cup final is Aston Villa.

...

Three days later, Aston Villa ushered in the 29th round of the league match between Reading away.

"We can see that Coach Fang is very angry. He has complained and protested to the referee many times." He Wei said.

"To be honest, today's referee is indeed a bit biased towards the home team Reading." Zhang Lu said, "or even if it is not biased, at least the referee Foy's enforcement standards today are quite loose, which is a fact."

In Fang Jue's opinion, referee Foy favored the home team Reading today.

The Reading team is known for its rough style and the referee's law enforcement standards are loose, which clearly means condoning the home team's foul behavior.

After the game was twenty-six minutes, referee Foy finally showed the first yellow card of today's game.

This was Mane, who returned from injury, dribbled the ball in the frontcourt. He was almost pulled and pulled by Reading midfielder Regtwood, and he almost pulled off his shorts while holding the person.

"Foy can't stand such an obvious foul anymore, and he can't play cards anymore." He Wei said with a smile.

Aston Villa took advantage of this free kick in the frontcourt and Hamei drove the ball into the penalty area. Thiago Silva headed the ball, 1-0.

In the subsequent games, Reading, who was behind in the score, made fouls more frequently.

Faced with this situation, Aston Villa's anger also rose. For a moment, it was common for people on the field to fall.

Referee Foy was still indulging in the beginning, but later he found that the scene could not be controlled.

Foy began to play cards frequently.

Not long after the second half, he awarded Aston Villa and Reading a penalty kick each.

Sendros and Reading's full-back Pierce were also sent off by red cards one after another.

Both sides made the penalty kick steadily, and the score became two-to-one, and Aston Villa still led one goal away.

This is also the final score. Aston Villa won Reading 2-1 away in the 29th round of the Premier League.

At the post-match press conference, Fang Jue criticized the referee's law enforcement, and he was instructed to referee Foy to fail to control the game well.

In the whole game, Foy presented a total of two red cards and eleven yellow cards.

You know, this is Foy's "record" when he didn't show his first card after more than twenty minutes of the game.

...

After the game between Aston Villa and Reading, the team returned to the hotel and did not rest immediately.

They are waiting for the result of Manchester United and West Ham United.

Manchester United's supplementary game was supposed to be the same as Aston Villa, but because of the heavy rain, the game was postponed for two hours.

When everyone turns on the TV, they look at the score in the upper right corner of the TV screen at first glance.

Two to two.

Manchester United led twice in this game, and West Ham United tied the score twice with tenacious force.

Now that the game has reached the final injury stoppage stage, Manchester United launched a crazy attack on West Ham United's goal.

However, until the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game, Manchester United was unable to score another goal.

In the camera, Ferguson walked straight into the player corridor with a pale face.

In the 29th round of the league, Aston Villa won the game, and Manchester United was tied by West Ham United in a good situation and only scored one point.

In this way, Aston Villa will expand its lead in the Premier League standings and lead Manchester United by four points.

Moreover, don't forget that Aston Villa has one less game. In this case, it is very difficult for Manchester United to make a comeback in the league.

...

The next day, the front page title of the English Guardian was: Manchester United had to fight against the enemy!

In the next round of the league, the 34th round of the league, Manchester United will face Aston Villa at home at Old Trafford Stadium.

Such a direct showdown can be said to be the last chance for Manchester United to turn the tables.

According to the media, Manchester United must win, and only by winning the game, they will be one point behind Aston Villa in the case of one more game, which will rekindle hopes of winning the league.

However, if Manchester United doesn't win the game, this can be divided into two situations:

Manchester United drew with Aston Villa at home. Manchester United fell four points behind Aston Villa with one more game, Manchester United was sentenced to death with a penalty of reprieve.

If Manchester United loses at home, Manchester United will be more than seven points behind Aston Villa with one more game. With four rounds left in the league, Manchester United will be sentenced to death directly.

...

Fang Jue is also a little distressed now.

Four days after visiting Old Trafford Stadium, Aston Villa will play the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals at West Valve Round Stadium in Dortmund.

Dortmund's home court is the famous devil's home court in European football.
