We agreed to play football together, and you will be the head coach?

Chapter 290: Premier League Brexit

Chapter 290: Premier League Brexit
The Qataris' respect for He Tianqi was soon repaid.

He Tianqi agreed to become Qatar's ambassador to help Qatar bid for the 2022 World Cup.

He also pointed out that the key to Qatar's bid for the World Cup lies in whether it is willing to spend money, and shared with them a key time node for spending money.

Sometimes, spending money too early may not yield the best results.

These people in Europe are very greedy. Instead of keeping them for a long time, it is better to knock them out at the critical moment.

Among them, Platini plays a crucial role, but Qatar should not touch him in the early stage.

After all, their biggest competitor in the bid for the 2022 World Cup is the United States.

Platini: Thank you and your whole family!
The Qatari think tank will combine He Tianqi's opinions and issue a detailed bid plan in the future.

……

March 21st, the 30th round of the Premier League.

Aston Villa beat Wolves 2-0 at home.

April 2nd, the 31st round of the Premier League.

Villa drew 2-2 with Everton away from home.

After winning four points in a row, they are not far from securing relegation.

The scene that many people want to see, Villa being eliminated from the Premier League due to multiple competitions, is unlikely to happen.

April 7, first leg of the Europa League quarter-finals.

Villa will visit the Philips Stadium to challenge Eredivisie giants PSV Eindhoven.

This is one of the famous black shops, but it has not made much contribution to world football in recent years.

At the very least, there are no particularly talented players in this PSV Eindhoven team.

But Villa didn't play well in this game and ended up drawing 2-2.

The poor condition of the players became the main reason.

Ashley Young even left the field due to injury in the second half.

Fortunately, the post-match examination showed that the situation was not serious and he is expected to return next week, and may even be able to catch up with the next round of the game.

For a time, some unscrupulous media published shocking headlines.

Mundo Deportivo: "Villa 2-2 PSV Eindhoven can't hide the decline, He Tianqi is shameless to please the Middle Eastern people!"

Daily Sports: "The Premier League was completely defeated in the European competition and has completely become a second-rate league!"

The English were attacked by the Catalans' flying dragon, and the key was that they had no way to fight back.

Because this time, what Barcelona's mouthpiece said was still half true.

The Premier League’s performance in European competitions this year can be described in one word… miserable!

Although all Premier League teams made it to the Champions League knockout stage, Tottenham Hotspur was eliminated in the round of 16.

Chelsea were eliminated in the quarterfinals.

Although Arsenal and Manchester United both made it to the semi-finals, they were ahead of Barcelona and Bayern respectively.

The teams that will eventually make it to the final are likely to be Barcelona led by Guardiola and Bayern, which will be led by Toni, Ribery and Robben again.

In the Europa League, Premier League teams such as Liverpool were also eliminated.

So at present there are only three teams left in the Premier League and European competitions.

Two of them were cut in half.

Villa's 2-2 record is a blessing in disguise, at least there is still hope of winning.

Therefore, the outside world has been pessimistic about the Premier League's performance in European competitions this season.

Serie A and La Liga have won the Champions League for so many years, and the Premier League has been so excited, but it didn’t win this year.

Do you think this is your cup of tea?
It is precisely because of the long-term disadvantages of foreign wars that the English media and fans have become self-contained and only pay close attention to the Premier League.

But you can deceive yourself at ordinary times, but once you really meet a team from other leagues and there are exchanges and quarrels between fans, can you still be a coward?
It just so happens that the Premier League has indeed done the best in terms of star player recruitment, average salary, event broadcasting value, etc., and to a certain extent it can indeed be called the world's number one league.

Therefore, whenever England loses a European match, other leagues will jump out and give them a beating.

Commonly known as "Premier League Brexit"!
England fans are used to it.

Under normal circumstances, they would turn off all messages on social media in March and April and only look at the Premier League scores, otherwise they would be very angry.

This is a problem that cannot be solved by either the Premier League giants Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, or the Premier League upstarts Chelsea and Manchester City.

He Tianqi might be able to do it, but the time given to Vera is still too short.

It will probably take another two to three years for Villa to truly rise.

But you know what, English politicians have indeed been inspired by football and plan to push for Brexit and completely liberate England!
……

April 14th, the second leg of the Europa League quarter-finals.

Villa Park was packed.

The fans are incredibly supportive of the team.

In addition to wearing Villa jerseys, some fans also wore England national team jerseys to express their support for the "Brexit" plan.

Amid this "Premier League collapse" theory, Villa players are under tremendous pressure.

This is a game that cannot be lost.

He Tianqi also sent out the highest standard lineup:

Dong Fangzhuo, Giroud, Bale

De Bruyne, Motta, Kante

Trippier, Boateng, Bonucci, Walker

Schmeichel
-

Whether to use Kante or Fellaini depends mainly on the opponent's playing style and the height of the midfield.

PSV Eindhoven plays fast breaks and counterattacks, and Kante's interception effect at this time is much better than Fellaini's.

Ashley Young's form is still a little bit fluctuating, so for safety reasons he is sitting on the bench waiting for orders.

Trippier has tried his hand at left-back a few times this season and has performed well.

He learned a lot from Ashley Young because they are both right-footed players.

With a whistle, the game officially begins.

In the third minute, Bale broke out on the right and launched a passionate attack right from the start.

After he passed the opponent, he tackled him in time and failed to pass the ball.

The referee blew the whistle.

Yellow card!

Bell made his mark early on.

In the seventh minute, De Bruyne received the ball and faked a pass to Bale.

Since Bale had already posed a threat, PSV's defensive players immediately moved in Bale's direction.

As a result, De Bruyne passed the ball in the opposite direction, broke through to the left, and shot low with his left foot.

The ball rolled towards the far corner and hit the side netting from the inside.

The angle is very precise.

"GOAL! One to zero!"

"Villa took the lead early on. Their condition today is obviously different from the last game!"

"De Bruyne's choices at critical moments are always unexpected. When you think he is going to organize slowly, he is likely to solve the game himself!"

"From the data, De Bruyne is a very typical English midfielder. He has a lot of goals and assists, just like Lampard, Gerrard, Scholes and so on."

"But in terms of playing style, De Bruyne is not English at all. His personal offensive attempts do not account for a large proportion of the team's offense, and his offensive methods are relatively diverse."

"Both he and Villa have a lot to look forward to!"

Modric, who was watching TV, felt disappointed when he saw everyone's comments on De Bruyne.

Same kick, family!
Same stats, folks!
Why is it that when it’s my turn, I’m considered a ball thief, but when it’s De Bruyne’s turn, I’m considered a prodigy?

Is it because he is 1.81 meters tall and I am only 1.74 meters tall?

This is definitely discrimination!

In the 11th minute, Walker went down the right and made a cross after receiving the pass from Bale.

Giroud's header was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper.

This attack was not very powerful.

Walker's crosses are still far inferior to those of Trippier and Albrighton.

It can only be said that it is barely adequate, but not very useful.

In the 18th minute, Eindhoven launched a counterattack.

Their right forward dribbled past the midfield and found that Schmeichel was standing very high, so he attempted a long lob shot.

As a result, Schmeichel paid close attention to this problem and retreated quickly and methodically, but it was not his turn to save the ball.

Because the football was not accurate enough, it went directly over the goal.

In the 25th minute, De Bruyne was brought down while protecting the ball in the frontcourt, winning a free kick for the team.

He directly lifted the ball into the penalty area and looked for the back post.

Boateng headed the ball back and Giroud followed up with a header.

Obviously, this is a free kick tactic that Villa has practiced.

Unfortunately, Giroud has never been lucky in scoring goals, and the opponent's goalkeeper still caught the ball in a panic.

The PSV center back then cleared the ball and kicked it out of the penalty area.

Trippier controlled the ball on the periphery, but the PSV striker rushed towards him and the two had a fierce physical confrontation.

In the end, the PSV striker made the steal.

"Foul! This is definitely a foul!" He Tianqi complained on the sidelines.

But perhaps considering that the previous yellow card was given too early, the referee had a certain compensatory mentality, so he did not blow the whistle.

PSV counterattacked.

Fortunately, Boateng chased back with all his might and managed to suppress the opponent.

Walker came to the rescue with potential, running diagonally from the other side and forming a double restriction with Boateng.

If Boateng was alone, the opponent would definitely try to break through.

After all, Boateng had a famous scene where he was knocked down by someone in the penalty area.

But with Walker providing backup defense, a breakthrough would be irrational.

Eventually, the opponent's options became smaller and smaller, and they could only attempt a shot from a small angle.

Schmeichel successfully saved the ball.

The three defensive players immediately pounded their chests and encouraged each other.

There was jubilation at Villa Park, even more exciting than when a goal was scored.

Today’s England is the land where the sun never sets!

We must not lose this European war!

Villa's morale boosted and they began to bombard Eindhoven.

In the 29th minute, Dong Fangzhuo received the ball on the left and cut inside, and made an inverted triangle cross from the left side of the penalty area.

Bale turned around, ran two steps back, and then kicked the ball into the stands through a bicycle kick.

Not suppressed.

In the 36th minute, Dong Fangzhuo cut inside again, made a series of fake passes with one hand and then made a horizontal pass.

De Bruyne made another long shot, but unfortunately this time it was saved by the opponent.

In the 37th minute, Villa kicked out a sideline kick, Bale dribbled the ball sideways, came to the top of the arc from the right, and shot with his left foot.

The ball went slightly wide.

In the 43rd minute, Bale received the ball in front of the penalty area and was brought down by the opponent, earning another yellow card.

This is a relatively close free kick, and Bale's S-shaped powerful shot is not very suitable.

Trippier came behind the ball and his free kick was quite sharp inside the team.

boom!
"Oh! What a pity! Trippier's free kick was of very high quality!"

"The ball successfully passed the wall and was in a very tricky position, but it was still saved by the opponent."

“Maybe the ball was a little bit slower.”

"The opponent's goalkeeper's gambling save is also crucial. If Villa plays a tactical free kick at this time, he will be in trouble."

"Good kick, good save."

"In just this half of the game, the value of this goalkeeper has soared by at least 2 million euros! Without him, the score would be at least 3-0 now!"

In the end, Villa returned to the locker room with a score of one to zero.

PSV Eindhoven was suppressed throughout the game, but they did not concede many goals and still had a chance to turn defeat into victory.

Soon, the second half of the game began.

In the 47th minute, Bale took the lead again, bullying the opponent at high speed on the wing and creating a corner kick.

Trippier took a corner kick and continued to look for the back post.

This time it was Giroud who was at the back post and he made a direct shot towards the goal.

As a result, with a clang, the football hit the post and bounced out.

Bonucci made a follow-up shot in front of the goal.

The football hit the opponent's goalkeeper, bounced back and hit Bonucci's hand.

Bonucci then scored with a follow-up shot.

But the referee slapped his arm, indicating that it was a handball first and the goal was invalid.

The PSV players survived the desperate situation.

If they lose the ball again, they really won’t have to play.

In the 54th minute, Bernd passed the ball back to Kante after being blocked, and Kante passed it directly to Walker who came in from the right.

Walker made another cross.

Giroud headed the ball again, and it was getting better and better, but the opponent's goalkeeper blocked the ball with his body.

For a moment, it was clear that Giroud was a little frustrated.

Some fans even booed him.

Because a score of one to zero is not safe, everyone hopes that Villa can continue to score goals, but Giroud has wasted many opportunities.

In fact, you are right to say that Giroud wasted opportunities in the past.

But Giroud played pretty well today.

We can only blame the opponent's goalkeeper for his explosive performance today.

In the 58th minute, Bale shook off his opponent on the right and passed the ball to the bottom.

The ball was passed to the small penalty area line, but I didn't dare pass it too deep to avoid it being blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper.

The opponent's multiple saves did bring a certain degree of deterrence to the offensive players.

Giroud turned and rushed towards the football, raised his leg, swung his thigh backwards, and knocked the ball with his heel to attack the goal.

"GOAL!"

“Two to zero!”

"Beautiful! Giroud's ball is so beautiful!"

"It really is true that if you don't make a sound, you'll be amazing!"

"Giroud's goal is definitely worthy of the Puskas Award!"

"It's amazing! There are heel goals, but this kind of heel kick while lifting the leg forward in the air is even more difficult than Ibrahimovic's scorpion kick!"

This move is a bit like the aerial version of Bergkamp's century turn.

The continuous attacks finally bore fruit.

This belated second goal made Villa explode.

It also caused Eindhoven to suffer a complete defeat.

In the 64th minute, Trippier took a tactical corner kick.

De Bruyne made a cross from the left corner outside the penalty area and continued to lift the back post.

Boateng heads the ball into the goal.

And it was very clever to shoot it in a far corner.

The ball flew over the head of the Eindhoven goalkeeper and fell into the far corner of the goal.

Three to zero!
PSV suffered a crushing defeat.

In the 66th minute, Trippier was brought down by the opponent after receiving a pass from Dong Fangzhuo on the left.

I'm hurt.
