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

Chapter 311: Steady Progress, Champions League Life and Death Battle
In the 82nd minute, Mane received a pass from his teammate, cut inside and broke into the penalty area but was brought down by the opponent.

Although he is unknown and not a regular soldier, he dares to attack and fight.

As Dong Fangzhuo, Bale and De Bruyne left the field one after another, there was no official designated penalty taker on the field.

At this time, He Tianqi pointed at Arteta.

Arteta has been a penalty taker at both Palermo and Barcelona.

After Messi's rise, the right to penalty kicks went to Messi, but last season Arteta won the penalty kick back after Messi missed it, which is why he was finally placed on the bench.

Sometimes, losing is the way to survive, and winning is the way to death.

As Arteta leaped high, the Borisov goalkeeper rushed out.

Arteta then kicked the ball to the other side.

Seven to zero, so easy!

The long-lost jump-step penalty kick has reappeared in the arena, bringing people's memories back to the 2003-2004 season.

It’s just that the white hair on Arteta’s head was dyed at that time.

Now, a few silver threads have really appeared.

Time really makes people grow old.

In the 88th minute, Arteta dribbled past the opponent on the left and made a straight pass.

Lukaku made a quick shot in front of the goal and the ball went straight into the sky.

Lukaku immediately held his head in his hands. It was much harder to hit the ball away than to score it.

You can see that he is very happy.

In the end, the score of the game was seven to zero.

The whole of Europe witnessed this return of the king.

Sky Sports: "Villa used a 7-0 victory to announce that the king of the Champions League is back!"

"France Football": "Three times the limit! He Tianqi made a strong comeback to the Champions League. This year's Champions League is exciting!"

Bild: "Bayern's failure to win the Champions League in the two years since He Tianqi left the league is the biggest mistake! This year, while Villa is still not firmly established, may be Bayern's only chance to win the Champions League!"

"Marca": "Kaka and Ronaldo were seriously injured one after another, Modric is unable to shoulder the heavy responsibility, Real Madrid will face many difficulties in the post-He Tianqi era, and may have to rebuild if they don't make any achievements in the next two years!"

Mundo Deportivo: "Villa 7-0 weak team is not as good as Barcelona 2-2 Inter Milan! The Red and Blue Army is striving for a second consecutive Champions League title!"

……

September 17th, the fifth round of the Premier League.

Villa played with all their main players, but they were unlucky and hit the goal frame and crossbar many times.

He Tianqi glared at Lukaku after the game, and couldn't help but suspect that happiness is contagious.

Villa drew with Newcastle United 1-1.

September 23rd, third round of the League Cup.

Villa vs Leyton Orient.

The youth version lineup is arranged:

Mane, Lukaku, Albrighton
Luke Shaw, Eriksen, Fellaini, Trippier

Maguire, Van Dijk, Rudiger
Courtois
-

Albrighton wore the captain's armband. He is a veteran of the team and a local youth player.

The result of the game was not unexpected.

Young defender Maguire scored with a header.

Lukaku scored with a single shot.

Eriksen demonstrated his core ability with one goal and one assist.

Mane's performance was controversial, showing the coexistence of angels and demons.

He created threats several times and provided an assist.

However, he lost his mind in the 79th minute and got into a conflict with the opponent even though he already had a yellow card.

Two yellow cards turned into one red card and he was sent off the field.

The opponent outnumbered the opponent and scored a goal.

But Villa still advanced with a total score of 4-2.

September 25th, the sixth round of the Premier League.

Villa drew 1-1 with Queens Park Rangers.

Lewandowski scored the equalizer.

The game was not exciting because He Tianqi made rotations.

The English media angrily scolded He Tianqi after the game.

Because this is Villa's fourth consecutive draw in the league!
In six rounds of the Premier League, there was one win and five draws.

To put it nicely, I have never been defeated.

To put it bluntly, there was clearly something wrong with the offense.

Villa is currently ranked eighth in the Premier League.

According to this trend, their ranking will probably decline further.

Unfortunately, even with the rotation preparation, Villa did not win the Champions League in the middle of the week.

On September 28th, in the second round of the Champions League, Villa faced AC Milan at home.

Ibrahimovic made one assist and one shot, dominating the entire game.

Milan captain Thiago Silva scored the winning header.

Dong Fangzhuo's goal was not enough to save the team.

Both players have a distinct Palermo flavor.

It was a rare scene of "revenge on the old master".

According to statistics, He-style players often fail to win the final victory when facing He Tianqi.

This made some super outstanding star prospects consider whether to join He Tianqi's camp.

After all, the sign of a future top star has already appeared - defeating the team led by He Tianqi.

Although players of the He system are more likely to rise, they will also be constrained by this route.

It's like Sun Wukong hesitating whether to put on the golden hoop.

Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva broke this curse, which means "wear it, the tight hoop can be taken off."

However, there are reports that Paris Saint-Germain, which has just been acquired by Qatari financial backers, is very interested in Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva and is ready to sign them at a high price.

Considering AC Milan's current financial resources, lineup and competitive status, it is unlikely that they will be able to retain these two players.

What Barbara needs to do next is mainly how to pop up a good price.

Villa fans were very depressed after four consecutive league draws and losing in the well-prepared European competition.

But the news in The Sun the next day saved everyone's good mood.

The Sun: "What you lose on the court, you win back in the bedroom! He Tianqi and Barbara spent a night of passion in his mansion in Villa. Barbara had a hard time the next day and was afraid that He Tianqi would fire her!"

Isn’t this a post-match reversal?

The Sun's guess was not far off, but it got the initiator wrong.

The night was dominated by Barbara's constant demands.

She somehow learned that Clara was pregnant and became extremely jealous.

Monica is a senior, so it’s okay since she had a child before.

Clara is the junior, why is she cutting in line?

And I heard they were twins or even a boy and a girl!

After a few times, He Tianqi advised Barbara to stop. Clara was already pregnant anyway, and if she got pregnant now, the baby she gave birth to would not be a brother or sister.

Can't win.

Who knew that Barbara was so confident that she was planning to have three babies.

No wonder it's so crazy.

……

October 1st, the seventh round of the Premier League.

Perhaps because they felt sorry for their coach being squeezed dry, Villa players learned from their mistakes and beat Wigan Athletic 2-0.

Finally, it brought a victory to Villa. Previously, the media mocked Villa for rotating players for the European war but not winning the Champions League, which really slapped He Tianqi in the face.

Look, the boss's face has been pale these days. He must be very angry.

Clara: Is it possible that I am suffering from qi deficiency?
On October 15th, in the eighth round of the Premier League, Villa faced a strong opponent, Manchester City.

The UAE financial sponsors have supported Manchester City for several years, and this year it is time for them to achieve results.

This Manchester City team is starting to develop chemistry now.

They defeated Aston Villa, which had rotated, 4-1 with a crushing victory.

Villa's seven-game unbeaten streak in the Premier League came to an end.

Sky Sports: "Another rotation before the Champions League! He Tianqi's behavior angered the Premier League, and they are discussing punishment for Villa!"

"BBC": "Villa's rotation disrupted the order of the Premier League, greatly reduced the quality of the Premier League, and damaged the commercial value of the Premier League!"

France Football: "England fans slam Aston Villa for disrespecting fans."

However, local Villa fans refuted the rumors and expressed their support for He Tianqi's behavior.

For a time, public opinion was somewhat divided.

Manchester City coach Mancini said earnestly: "He Tianqi is the most successful head coach in the world. He must have his reasons for making the decision. I respect his choice."

Manchester United manager Ferguson: "A season is not a battle, but a year-long war. Fans should trust He Tianqi's strategic decision-making ability."

Arsenal manager Wenger: "He Tianqi is always good at creating miracles. Some adjustments at the beginning of the season may be for the sprint at the end of the season. This is what he is good at. We should not rush to criticize him."

Chelsea manager Rogers: "The media always blames the manager, but if the media is right, why don't we invite the media to be the manager?"

Head coaches of strong Premier League teams such as Liverpool and Tottenham have expressed their views.

People who don’t know may think that He Tianqi’s influence in the coaching world is terrifying, but he has such a huge influence!

But if you look at the schedule, you will know that the reason why these head coaches support He Tianqi is mainly because they hope that when they meet Villa next time, Villa will also be rotating.

Manchester City can't be the only one to get this bargain.

October 19th, the third round of the Champions League group stage.

Villa vs Leverkusen.

Bale was in great form, scoring two goals and one assist.

Dong Fangzhuo, Lewandowski and Giroud scored successively.

Arteta and De Bruyne both provided assists.

Vera slaughtered the pharmaceutical factory 5-0!
The reason why it is called a pharmaceutical factory is that Leverkusen was founded by Bayer, a famous German pharmaceutical company.

But now, pharmaceutical companies have to buy their own drugs.

Otherwise, this wound of 5 to 0 will be difficult to heal.

On October 22, the ninth round of the Premier League, Villa rotated again.

Lost 1-2 to West Bromwich Albion, and the Premier League ranking dropped to eleventh!

The two sides met in the Championship last season.

West Bromwich Albion didn't expect to beat Villa.

They have Manchester United to thank for that.

Because three days later, Villa will face Manchester United in the League Cup quarter-finals.

October 25th, League Cup.

This time He Tianqi's rotation strategy did not make any mistakes.

Three to zero!
Vardy scored twice.

Lukaku scored successfully.

Villa easily defeated Manchester United's youth team.

Manchester United has completely given up on the League Cup, and almost all of its players are from the youth training camp and substitutes.

This season their city rivals Manchester City have put even more pressure on them.

Almost at the beginning of the season, they made their stance clear, intending to compete with Manchester United for the Premier League title.

The two teams are now ranked first and second in the Premier League standings.

Manchester United does not have the extra energy to play a meaningless tournament like the Carabao Cup.

For the big clubs, the Carabao Cup is a non-existent competition.

Ten Hag: Please don't say that!

October 29th, the tenth round of the Premier League.

Villa will challenge the Black Cats Sunderland away.

2 to 2, the two sides shook hands and made peace.

Young player Mane scored a goal and is the player who has integrated the fastest this season except for Arteta, Lukaku and Azpilicueta.

Villa moved up to ninth in the Premier League.

Basically hovering in the middle.

This is a result consistent with Villa's previous level.

But it obviously does not match the public's speculation about Villa.

Everyone believes that Villa should have the ability to challenge for the Premier League title this season, at least this trend should be reflected in the first half.

In the end, we should be able to reach the top four level in the Premier League.

On November 1st, in the fourth round of the Champions League, Villa will face Leverkusen again.

This time Leverkusen regained face and drew 3-3 with Villa.

November 5th, the eleventh round of the Premier League.

Villa beat Norwich 3-2 at home, winning their third Premier League victory of the season and rising to eighth in the Premier League.

Lewandowski scored twice.

Van Dijk scored with a header.

November 21st, the twelfth round of the Premier League.

Villa will face Tottenham Hotspur away.

2-0, Tottenham won the game cleanly.

This time it’s not that Villa intended to rotate, but because last week was a national team match day.

There have been three or four national team match days this season.

Every time the players come back, Villa's condition is not particularly good.

Because this year's national teams are fighting for real, everyone is trying to qualify for next year's "European Cup in Poland and Ukraine".

Except for Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain who secured their places early, the rest of the national teams almost all secured their places until this round.

Unfortunately, Bale's Wales did not show up.

This is also related to Bale’s low tactical position in the national team.

There is news from Wales that the rebuilt Wales will take Bale as the absolute core to build a "speeding red dragon"!
But the regrettable thing is that Belgium didn’t even qualify!

Belgium, which has Villa stars such as De Bruyne, Fellaini, Lukaku, Courtois, Manchester City's Kompany, as well as Vertonghen, Nainggolan, Vermaelen, Dembele, Hazard and countless other powerful new stars, is really surprising.

Disharmony within the team is one of the problems.

The lack of clarity on core players is also an important reason.

The most annoying thing is that De Bruyne was injured in the national team game.

This is another answer to Tottenham's easy win.

Tottenham were very satisfied with the result, but the Premier League committee was not. They criticized He Tianqi, believing that he treated Premier League fans as second-class fans.

In response to this, He Tianqi publicly responded: "This is the first time for us Villa to play in the Champions League in who knows how long, and no matter how much importance we attach to it, it is not excessive."

"We are just a mid-table team and we may not play in the Champions League for a long time in the future, so we are not qualified to be careless about this competition."

"I have coached teams in Serie A and La Liga, and I can feel their support for everyone's efforts in the Champions League. But unfortunately, I didn't feel this in the Premier League."

"This may explain why Serie A and La Liga have won far more Champions League titles than the Premier League in the past decade. Even if my influence is removed, Serie A and La Liga have both won three titles!"

November 23rd, the fifth round of the Champions League group stage.

Villa will challenge Milan away.

He Tianqi returns to San Siro.
