On December 11, 2010, the 17th round of the Premier League.

There are several eye-catching focus battles in this round of the league.

Tottenham Hotspur will face Chelsea at home, a London derby.

Chelsea was tied 1-1 by Everton in the last round of the league. Now, the Blues are already 11 points behind the league leader Aston Villa. In this London derby against Tottenham Hotspur, Ancelotti's team has no way out and must win.

Another focus game is that Manchester United faces Arsenal at home at Old Trafford.

Currently, Manchester United is 7 points behind Aston Villa and ranks second; Arsenal and Manchester City both score 29 points, and Arsenal ranks fifth because of their goal difference.

In this game, Manchester United will chase Aston Villa, and Arsenal will work hard to return to the familiar seat. The media believes that it will be a battle.

Aston Villa faced West Bromwich at home in this round.

This game is not a real strong dialogue, but its attention must be even above those two games.

The reason is that as long as Aston Villa remains unbeaten in this round, they will tie the record of 42 unbeaten in the English top league set by Nottingham Forest that year.

Before the game, The Sun cheered West Bromwich: The opportunity to stop Villa from moving forward and write the name book into Premier League history is right in front of you. Come on.

In response to this, West Bromwich coach Di Matteo couldn't help but swear, and he called the Sun a bad intention.

"Who are we? We are West Bromwich, and our goal is to relegate! Relegate! Relegate!"

"Our mission is not to block Villa, not to confront the league leader, this is not a job we can do."

"I'm not saying we won't try our best to play football, but don't give us this big hat to create history and block Villa? This is not within our ability, understand?"

After Di Matteo's honest words were reported by the media, the audience burst into laughter and praised the bald coach, believing that he was very honest and that he was very honest.

The Sun was also a little confused. In the past, they hyped similar things and the results were very good. This time, they expected West Bromwich to be praised by them, and they would fight Aston Villa desperately like a chicken blood.

In fact, the Sun has made this idea - choosing West Bromwich to "scam" is also considered:

West Bromwich is a famous lift team in the Premier League, with average strength, but this team is famous for its nerve knife and often performs a good show of overcoming strong teams. Moreover, this team is fierce and even a bit rough, and is the kind of team that will be very difficult to deal with when they come.

In a word, this team is suitable for tricking.

But I didn't expect that Dimateo would not take this trick at all and even cursed them.

In the end, Aston Villa defeated West Bromwich three-to-one at home with the goals of Sendros, Barack and Diego Costa who came on the bench.

As Di Matteo said before the game, they did not do their best to play football in this game, they also worked very hard, but the gap in strength was obvious and they lost the game in the end.

Of course, perhaps in the eyes of some people, if West Bromwich fought his life, he would be able to cause trouble for Aston Villa. At least Aston Villa would not win easily three to one.

However, West Bromwich has something to say, they don’t have to fight against the league leader. They are not flat-headed guys, and they will immediately enter the Christmas schedule. The team will have a Wednesday game. This game is fighting Aston Villa. What should I do if I fight in the future?

Dimateo was obviously clear.

"42 Unbeaten!"

The Premier League official website used this title to express congratulations to Aston Villa, who also tied with Nottingham Forest and became the second long-term unbeaten record holder in England's top league history, second only to Arsenal's unbeaten record.

...

In the other two focus battles.

Chelsea was tied 1-1 by Tottenham Hotspur away.

Starting from the 13th round of the league, Chelsea's home defeat was 0-3 and 3:

In the 14th round of the league, Chelsea lost 0-1 away to Birmingham;

In the 15th round of the league, Chelsea was tied by Newcastle 1-1 away;

In the 16th round of the league, Chelsea was tied by Everton 1-1 at home;

In addition, this round of the league was tied by London derby rival Tottenham Hotspur 1-1, and Chelsea has lost five rounds.

In the league standings, Chelsea has gone from being only three points behind Aston Villa to being thirteen points behind Aston Villa. In the words of the media, Chelsea can give up the expectations of the league championship and focus on the Champions League.

In another game, Manchester United beat Arsenal 1-0. After the Red Devils won, they continued to catch up with Aston Villa, while Arsenal continued to rank fifth.

It is worth mentioning that after Manchester City won this round, the ranking rose to third place again, and the value of the checkbook waving by the Arabs was reflected.

...

Six days later.

In the 18th round of the Premier League, the day before Aston Villa's away game against Vigan Athletics, Fang Jue came to Nyon, Switzerland.

He came to participate in the draw ceremony of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals 16 in the 2010/2011 season.

Before the lottery ceremony began, Fang Jue and Ferguson chatted for a while.

The old Scottish man asked Fang Jue if he could sell Bale to Manchester United.

Fang Jue 'sarcastic' said Bell was not a product, and even if Bell left, Ferguson could not afford Bell. The old man asked if he could install it. Fang Jue really wanted to spit on the old man's face.

Turning his head, Fang Jue chatted with Wenger. These two old men were the ones who were not seen by the king.

The professor told Fang Jue with some worries that Arsenal had offered Inter Milan a price to buy Coutinho, but Inter Milan refused.

Wenger said he got the news that Ferguson also fell in love with Coutinho.

"That Scotsman did it on purpose. He saw that I had a crush on Coutinho, so he deliberately raised the price." The professor said angrily.

Fang Jue "comforts" Wenger: Who is Ferguson? You two have fought for so many years, but you still don't know... He must have thought so and done this.

Wenger agrees deeply.

The professor sighed and said that several teams all fell in love with Coutinho at once, and they didn't know what was going on.

"This shows that my opinion on people is correct, and my recommendation is reliable!" Fang Jue said.

The professor nodded and agreed again.

...

The lottery ceremony officially began at about 12:00 pm Central European time.

After the group stage, the first group were Aston Villa, Schalke 04, Manchester United, Barcelona, ​​Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Donetsk miners.

The second in the eight groups are Inter Milan, Lyon, Valencia, Copenhagen, Rome, Marseille, AC Milan and Arsenal.

The three major leagues in the Premier League, La Liga and Bundesliga rank first in seven groups, and the teams in Serie A and Ligue 1 are both second in the group.

The draw of 1/The finals follows the principle of avoiding the same as the National Football Association and the same group.

Before the draw, UEFA Secretary-General Infantino first praised defending champion Inter Milan.

However, interestingly, when Infantino said this, the director gave Aston Villa coach Fang Jue a shot, which caused a burst of laughter in front of the TV.

Infantino then introduced the situation of each team in the expenditure line, and especially praised the knockout teams Aston Villa, Copenhagen and Donetsk miners.

This is also particularly regretful that the bald secretary-general, who was ridiculed by fans as a professional lottery drawer, was not able to come to the scene.

It was originally planned that Bobby Charlton would draw lots as the representative of the final organizer, but it failed to arrive on time due to heavy snow in Nyon.

Yes, the final of the Champions League this season is held at the New Wembley Stadium in the UK, so the English media is very excited and looking forward to it. They look forward to the final meeting of Premier League teams at the New Wembley Stadium. At least, they also look forward to a team from the Premier League that can reach the final and win the cup.

This draw draws many old opponents together.

Real Madrid, who met in the 1/final last season, met again, and Lyon eliminated Real Madrid last season.

Arsenal met with Barcelona again. Last season, two teams met in the quarter-finals. Barcelona drew Arsenal 2-2 away, and returned to home court, Messi scored 4 goals alone, beating Arsenal 4-1.

Although Arsenal's strength has become stronger after joining Koscheerney, Chamak, Squillac and others this season, Barcelona will definitely still have an advantage.

When UEFA technical official Marcati drew Arsenal for Barcelona, ​​Pique immediately sent a message to Fabregas on his personal social account, Pique exclaimed: "Haha...Welcome home, my brother!"

It is worth mentioning that Fabregas liked Pique's message and also said: "Camp Nou, oh..."

This incident caused quite a stir, and it is said that Wenger was furious about it.

Fang Jue later called Wenger, saying that if Wenger wanted to clean up the portal, he would be willing to help.

The professor was so angry that he scolded Fang Jue for being a bad person and not a real good friend.

In addition, Inter Milan was drawn to Bayern Munich, a replica of the Champions League final last season, and this showdown was particularly eye-catching.

Manchester United, Chelsea and Roma drew good draws, Manchester United and Chelsea faced Marseille and Copenhagen respectively, while Roma met the weakest Donetsk miners in the group.

Aston Villa, who was the first in Group A, drew the second place in Group G, A. Milan.

When the result of this match came out, there was a wow sound on the scene.

A Milan team includes former A Milan players Shevchenko and Ronaldo. In addition, Aston Villa previously defeated Inter Milan twice in the group stage, and scored 10 goals in the defending champion in two rounds. This time, it faced Inter Milan's city rival A Milan, which was a gimmick in this game.

Fang Jue curled his lips. He seriously suspected that UEFA already knew that Ronaldinho would transfer to Aston Villa, so he made this happen.

The statement that UEFA uses technical means to control the matchup in the draw of lottery has now been recognized by all walks of life. If you want to make a fuss about the argument, it would be "too stupid and naive".

Imagine Shevchenko, Ronaldo, and Ronaldinho were visiting San Siro in Aston Villa's burgundy robe. The attention of this game was simply overwhelming.

If you want to say that this is nothing wrong, it is believed by a genius.
