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

Chapter 326 The Weakest Vera in History

Simeone, who also came to watch the game, entered the stadium to congratulate He Tianqi on his victory and accepted an interview: "Many people are surprised or puzzled by Villa's victory in this game, but in our opinion, yes, we, me, Guardiola, and Inzaghi..."

"In our opinion, the result was decided in the final moments of the last game."

Some reporters seemed to understand something.

At the same time, Modric was also interviewed: "You asked me why I didn't have a sad expression? I suggest you look for my picture after the last game, and you will find that it is the same as the players on the court now."

"It's a shame that we couldn't beat Villa for Real Madrid, we had the chance to do so."

"Of course, the opportunities we thought we had were just opportunities that our boss made us think we had."

"The game was always in the boss's rhythm, so it's not surprising that such a result occurred."

He Tianqi said modestly: "Real Madrid is very strong. Compared with Inter Milan, which has some internal problems, Real Madrid should be a more difficult opponent to beat."

"I have to say that luck was the biggest reason why we beat Real Madrid."

"We are still a little bit away from being a team like that."

"As for the next game, I think we are no longer qualified to think about the next game. When you face teams like Inter Milan and Real Madrid, you can only think about the present."

"Regardless of what European results we achieve this season, I think we have had a successful season. The Villa players have achieved everything I expected of them."

There is no doubt that He Tianqi, who has always been high-profile, is so low-key, which is enough to show their pessimism about the next round of the game.

After the game, Dong Fangzhuo continued to lead the Champions League scorer list with 13 goals.

But the previous second scorer Messi caught up with Dong Fangzhuo thanks to his great performance in this round and tied for first place.

De Bruyne had double-digit assists and is far ahead in the assist list.

Shortly after the game, news of Dong Fangzhuo's illness, who was being treated at a local hospital in Madrid, spread.

Broken ribs.

Considering that Dong Fangzhuo's fracture did not show any displacement, his daily life would not be affected in any way, but he could not exert sudden force.

It will take at least a month to get back on the field.

The Spanish media were all shocked.

Everyone thought that Dong Fangzhuo was pretending to be injured at the last moment, but it turned out that he was just pretending to be strong!
He played against Real Madrid for a few minutes despite a broken rib.

Deserves the word "brave".

Florentino is very dissatisfied with Real Madrid's performance in the Champions League this season. Without the Champions League, Real Madrid cannot be considered successful.

He wanted to fire Simon immediately, but Real Madrid currently has no better candidate to take over.

Mourinho agreed to coach Real Madrid, but he didn't want to come halfway, he wanted to coach for a full season.

Moreover, Real Madrid is in good momentum in La Liga, surpassing Barcelona to sit at the top of the standings.

The players also have a good relationship with the affable Simon.

In order not to break this chemical reaction, Florentino asked Simon to stay.

But everyone knows that Simon will leave after the end of this season, and Mourinho will take over and take charge of Real Madrid!
Although Mourinho's Inter Milan was defeated by He Tianqi, he is still one of the top three or even top two head coaches in the world and the best choice for Real Madrid.

Fans and players were also very satisfied with the news.

But it's different from Real Madrid, which has a lot of work to do.

In Barcelona, ​​there was a thunderous celebration.

Because they reached the semi-finals of the Champions League!

And... they picked up the easy target Aston Villa!
Milan and Bayern, who have been keeping a low profile in recent years, are now fighting each other.

The two old guys were so angry.

Beckenbauer immediately mocked Barcelona's luck in the draw: "Yes, Barcelona always draws the weakest opponents."

Barbara was also dissatisfied with this: "Everyone wants to meet Villa, but only Barcelona can meet Villa."

Everyone knows how well Platini has taken care of Barcelona in the Champions League.

This almost guarantees Barcelona entry into the Champions League final.

Because the players suspended for the next round for Villa are Bonucci, Motta, Kante and De Bruyne.

A starting midfielder + a defensive leader.

At the same time, Dong Fangzhuo and Bale are still injured.

Bale may be able to return by then, but Dong Fangzhuo probably won't be able to make it, and won't be able to make it for either round of games.

Villa was originally the weakest team among the top four teams in this year's Champions League, and now it has been weakened in an epic way by Real Madrid.

Real Madrid fans are really in tears.

If we had known this would happen, we would have given Villa two wins and let Barcelona face a fully-strength Villa.

At this point, Barcelona is about to wake up laughing.

……

Sky Sports: "Villa once again becomes the only team in the Premier League! Unfortunately, they have encountered strong opponents one after another and may be eliminated in the Champions League semi-finals!"

The Times: "This is the standard of the Champions League! Villa, ranked 15th, can easily enter the top four!"

"France Football": "He Tianqi has used the league rotation tactic again! He gave up the Premier League and focused on the cup competition, and the effect is beginning to show!"

Bild: "It is hard to say whether He Tianqi's move is right or wrong. Villa may face disintegration next season without the Champions League!"

"Marca": "Mourinho provided Florentino with a list of signings, including Dong Fangzhuo, Motta, Bale, Bonucci, Schmeichel and other Villa players!"

"Forward": "The top four is Villa's limit, He Tianqi may sink in the Premier League!"

Mundo Deportivo: "He Tianqi is finally going to pay back what he owes to La Liga and Barcelona!"

There is a lot of discussion about Vera.

But the impact of the battle with Real Madrid is not just the Champions League.

After all, the next round of the series will not start until half a month later.

The Real Madrid sequelae first broke out in the league.

April 7th, the 32nd round of the Premier League.

Villa will challenge Liverpool away.

Although players such as De Bruyne played, their performance was not good due to fatigue from the European war.

In the end, the match ended in a 1-1 draw with Liverpool.

The latter is ranked sixth in the Premier League and lost to Villa in the Carabao Cup final, but Villa was suppressed in this game.

April 9th, the 33rd round of the Premier League.

Villa host Stoke City.

Villa could only send out a substitute lineup and ended up with another 1-1 draw.

After two rounds, although they are still ranked 15th in the Premier League, they are already at risk of relegation.

This is a situation that Villa did not encounter last season.

April 14th, FA Cup semi-final.

Villa vs Chelsea!
The latter is currently ranked fourth in the Premier League standings.

There is no doubt that they have a greater chance of winning.

And two days after this game, Villa will have a Premier League match against Manchester United!
In two days, it will be the Champions League semi-final against Barcelona.

Three races a week!
Three world-class enemies!
Steady happiness!
There is a high possibility that Villa will be eliminated from all three leagues within a week.

They fought on four fronts this season, and apart from winning the League Cup, which had very low gold content, they were defeated in all other directions.

This clearly indicates a strategic problem.

……

At Wembley Stadium, 85,000 fans gathered to watch the FA Cup semi-final.

Chelsea fans know how to have fun.

A huge banner of He Tianqi was pulled, transforming him into an evil dragon from the West.

He has numerous trophies on his back, the brightest being this year's EFL Cup.

The dragon was crushed by the trophy and then decapitated by a knight with the Chelsea crest.

It means that He Tianqi’s greed will lead to his failure.

This wave of taunting is like a dragon riding on the face!

Chelsea's squad is:
Drogba Kalu, Mata, Ramires

Mikel, Lampard
Ashley Cole, David Luiz, John Terry, Bosingwa
Cech
-

Also sitting on the bench were famous players, young and old, such as Torres, Malouda, and Meireles.

The lineup is strong.

But Villa's lineup is not bad either.

Even... equally luxurious:
Lewandowski, Lukaku, Albrighton
De Bruyne, Motta, Arteta

Azpilicueta, Van Dijk, Bonucci, Trippier

Courtois
-

Except for the injured Dong Fangzhuo and Bale, Villa can be said to have fielded all its main players.

If the Champions League hadn't been suspended, today's lineup would definitely be much weaker.

Chelsea's luck can be said to be good or bad.

With a whistle, the game begins.

In the third minute, Lewandowski received the ball on the left and failed to break through. He dribbled sideways and tried to find an opportunity to pass the ball, but Lampard and Bosingwa sandwiched him from the front and back and intercepted him.

Lampard then dribbled the ball forward and passed it to Ramires after crossing half court.

Ramirez received the ball and volleyed it.

Courtois saved the ball.

But Van Dijk was defending nearby and the ball hit his calf and bounced towards the goal.

Van Dijk quickly chased after him and cleared the ball on the goal line.

Drogba and others immediately stretched out their hands to indicate that the ball had gone in.

Courtois and Van Dijk excitedly said that the ball did not go in.

The two sides had a heated argument at one point.

Until the referee shook his head, indicating that the football had not completely crossed the goal line.

Van Dijk almost caused an own goal and allowed the opponent to take the ball into the field.

In the sixth minute, Chelsea took a tactical corner kick, and Kalou took a long shot after receiving the pass on the left.

The football flew.

At the same time, the referee blew the whistle to indicate that Chelsea had committed an attacking foul.

In the eighth minute, David Luiz made a mistake in passing the ball, Arteta successfully intercepted the ball and dribbled into the penalty area.

Unfortunately, he was double-teamed by three people and failed to pass the ball, which was also intercepted.

In the tenth minute, Ashley Cole broke into the left side of the penalty area and shot.

Courtois made a great save.

This season he has grown into an excellent goalkeeper who can stand on his own.

Compared to De Bruyne, he grew up two and a half years later.

But good things never come late, and a goalkeeper’s career is long.

In the twelfth minute, Lukaku and Luis continued to wrestle in the penalty area.

After the referee blew the whistle, the two were still pushing and shoving and trying to argue with the referee.

The referee was so angry that he showed yellow cards to both of them.

The referee's enforcement is relatively strict.

This is actually an advantage for Villa.

Otherwise... according to the style of English teams, if Villa loses a few more players after this game, then this season will really collapse across the board.

In the 17th minute, De Bruyne made a through pass.

After Lewandowski received the ball on the left side, he picked it up and completed a back-hook cross with Terry behind him.

Lewandowski really dares to come to the big stage of his dreams.

Lukaku heads the ball into the goal.

But Cech was still in good shape and saved the ball.

Ten years have passed in a flash, and Cech, whom He Tianqi once considered signing, is now a 30-year-old veteran goalkeeper.

Over the years, Cech has suffered serious injuries, experienced a wave of injuries, and also had his peak. At his strongest, he was also one of the world's top goalkeepers.

If he had not been so dazzling in his early years and joined Palermo, his career would have been even more brilliant.

Then there would be no chance for Buffon and Casillas.

In the 19th minute, De Bruyne was pressed by the opponent while dribbling the ball.

He completed the cross pass first.

However, Chelsea star Mikel still knocked De Bruyne down.

De Bruyne stood up and angrily pushed Mikel.

The players from both teams gathered together immediately.

Full of gunpowder flavor.

Mikel's move was actually very dangerous.

De Bruyne's body stiffened after passing the ball, and Mikel's impact will directly act on De Bruyne's supporting leg, which is very likely to cause injury.

Perhaps Mikel's tactical purpose is to teach De Bruyne a lesson.

But De Bruyne is no pushover.

In the end, the referee showed yellow cards to both sides.

He Tianqi took the opportunity to pull Arteta and asked him and De Bruyne to kick back to avoid being injured by Chelsea players.

After all, Arteta is the core of the midfield against Barcelona next.

Can't be hurt.

In the 22nd minute, Arteta, who was playing conservatively, was brought down in the frontcourt by Chelsea players.

Chelsea is determined to scare Villa off with high-intensity confrontation today.

He Tianqi often used this trick when he was in Palermo, but he didn't expect that Chelsea would use it against him now.

There is no way He Tianqi would forget this grudge.

Regardless of the outcome of this game, Chelsea will have to pay the price next season.

No, maybe not next season!

He Tianqi remembers that their opponent in the penultimate round of the Premier League was Tottenham.

Chelsea, Tottenham and Everton are competing fiercely for the fourth place in the Premier League.

boom!
The cheers from the field interrupted He Tianqi's thoughts.

He looked up and saw Arteta with his arms raised.

"Oh! It's not easy!"

"Arteta stood up at the critical moment!"

"Direct free kick into the goal! Arteta seized the opportunity he created!"

"Chelsea's style of play today was really unfriendly to Villa. If Chelsea and Barcelona didn't have a bad relationship, I would even suspect that they received money from Barcelona to further weaken Villa."

“It really feels like putting someone to death.”

"Arteta's goal is crucial. Villa, who are leading by one to zero, will have more tactical redundancy, and the players can avoid fierce confrontation as much as possible."

He Tianqi gave Arteta a thumbs up.

Bringing in Tazio this season is definitely a godsend. Our Tazio still has some strength left and can be a better C than the young De Bruyne.

The Premier League is so inhumane!
The intensity is ridiculous!

Villa must have two core lineups to be able to be calm.

It’s a pity that Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea have always been in this environment, missing their peak period and failing to dominate.

On the contrary, Liverpool performed well and stole the ball a few times.
