Chapter 433 The Prince's Team

Chapter 13 Prince's Team

After the first round, Manchester's two teams occupy the first and second places in the standings.

Relying on the advantage of goal difference, Manchester United beat Manchester City and ranked first in the standings.

In the first two rounds of the season, Manchester United's schedule was relatively easy.

As the number one overlord in the history of the Premier League, Manchester United has several "cash machines" they particularly like: Aston Villa, Tottenham Hotspur, and Everton.

Facing Tottenham in the first round, Manchester United defeated their opponents at home.Why do you say again?
In the Premier League, Manchester United has already defeated Tottenham No.30 once. It is the team that has scored the second most points against opponents in the history of Manchester United's Premier League.

In the next second round, Manchester United's opponent is Aston Villa-this is Manchester United's favorite opponent, because they have defeated Villa 32 times in the history of the Premier League, which is the team that allowed Manchester United to score the most points.

The last time Manchester United lost to Villa, it dates back to December 2009, when Aston Villa scored all 1 points in 0-3 at Old Trafford with Abang Lahor's header .The last time the Red Devils lost at Villa Park was exactly 20 years ago-on August 1995, 8, the youth army led by Ferguson lost 19-1 as a guest. The Neville brothers, Butt, Scholes and Baker Ham is a witness.It was that loss that made Alan Hansen yell out the famous saying: "You can't win anything with a bunch of kids!"

20 years ago, what a distant memory.Villa's young prodigy Jack Grealish and Manchester United striker James Wilson were both born at the time, while Luke Shaw was barely a month old.But since then, Aston Villa has suddenly turned into Manchester United's "point boy": their last 19 home games against the Red Devils (a total of 1710 minutes), they have led by a total of 180 minutes, with only a poor 9 goals, And Manchester United has 30!
Facing Villa, Manchester United's chances of winning are quite large.

It's the same this time, even though the head coach has been replaced by Ancelotti, not many people think that Villa can pose any threat to Manchester United at their home court-everyone is used to them losing to Manchester United.

The game between Manchester United and Aston Villa was the earliest opening match of the current round of the Premier League. Since Manchester United will have a Champions League qualifying match in the middle of next week, this game was brought forward to Friday night.

Villa struggled to avoid relegation last season. Although they let go of Benteke this season, they successively introduced Ayew, Gaye and other strong players, and their strength has improved a lot.This season they certainly won't want to struggle as much as they did last season.

Facing Manchester United at home this time, Villa obviously wanted to make some waves at home. They sent three forwards to start the formation at home, Scott Sinclair, Abanglaho and Ayew The front team started together.I have to say that Villa's head coach Sherwood is very bold...or risky.

Villa were too risky indeed, and even though they were playing at Villa Park, they played an attacking formation, but from the start, the tempo of the game was not on their side, and United took control of the situation with ease, allowing Villa can't play offensive momentum at home.

Prince William sat in the stands of Villa Park, looking at the expression on his face at the moment, he knew that the situation of his home team was not good at this time.

Villa Park had a good momentum at the beginning, but now it seems to be discouraged.

Because Manchester United scored!
Since the situation was firmly controlled by Manchester United, Fellaini simply moved to the forward position and formed a twin tower with Li Qingshan, which made Villa even more defensive.

In such a situation, Manchester United's goal is a matter of course.

No. 12 minutes, the left back Sandro made a cross from the left, the football first bypassed Fellaini's puffy head, but Li Qingshan, who was in the back point, did not miss this opportunity, he jumped high and headed the ball to the top.With Fellaini helping him to share the defensive pressure, he played more freely in the penalty area.

One to zero!

Prince William sat in his seat with a sad face.Taking into account the face of the royal family, it is of course impossible for him to say any indecent words to the Villa fans sitting in other stands, but his bad face is indeed very obvious.

It's no secret around the world that the British royal family are Villa fans.

There is a lion in Villa's team logo, and this lion appears widely on various flags of the United Kingdom.Villa's nickname "The Lions" clearly shows that the team is inextricably linked with the royal family. Prince Charles and Prince William are both Villa fans.

Compared with other clubs, Villa has received a lot of support from the British upper class, which may be related to the royal family's support for Villa.

Villa built the team early (the team was established in 1874) and achieved good results (especially in the early days, the top league champions in the 19th century won five times and the FA Cup three times). It is one of the only five English teams to win the Champions League), and it is also an important reason why Villa can attract a large number of fans and make it pass down from generation to generation.

Although Villa's current performance is not good, 98% of their fan base is white. In England, which is currently overpopulated with Indians, Africans, and Muslims, it is rare to maintain "blood" Such a pure fan group.

Compared with other English giants, Manchester United and Manchester City are both workers' clubs, Liverpool is the home team of the dock workers, and Arsenal's nickname Arsenal goes without saying.And Chelsea was basically a relegation team before Abramovich took over, and they were still in the second division in the late 80s.

Those British jazz who had a bit of status didn’t even look at the middle class back then, how could they support a team with the mud-legged workers... So Aston Villa, which has a good performance and a historical background, has been around for more than 100 years. Such a group of "high-quality" fans has slowly accumulated in the history of the game.

Although Villa has a "deep background", it can't stand the current lack of strength.

The upper classes at Villa Park were bound to be in a bad mood when the game was over.

The bright red "0:4" on the scoreboard made the faces of the fans of the home team dim.

It was another four to zero. This time it was Li Qingshan who scored for Manchester United. He continued to score twice in the second game of the Premier League. Except for the header in the No.12 minute, it was the end of the first half. At the time, he knocked on Villa's goal again with a long shot.

In the second half, Fellaini used a corner kick to make a contribution, and Di Maria cut in from the left.

United took three points from Villa Park once again.

Prince William rubbed his face, even the prince's team had to accept the reality of poor strength.
