Liverpool's 2-7 defeat to Aston Villa in the away game has caused widespread surprise in the English media.

Before the game, the general view was that Liverpool had the chance to draw or even beat Aston Villa in the face of the tired Aston Villa.

Of course, the most direct view is that Liverpool may still lose, but no one expected to lose so badly.

Major media outlets in England have successively mourned the Reds' defeat of Liverpool.

The Metro newspaper's title on its website is "Liverpool Nightmare Night!", saying that Liverpool lost 2:7 to Aston Villa in a bad, disastrous way.

The Guardian's title on its website is "Liverpool, what a shame, Aston Villa wins 7:2!" After reporting and commenting on the game, the English media finally pointed out that under such a intensive schedule and exhaustion, Aston Villa slaughtered Arsenal and Liverpool in four days:

Judging from the current situation, unless a miracle happens, no team will stop Aston Villa from defending his title in the Premier League successfully.

The Times titled "Villa Park Stadium, the Devil's home court 7:2!" The newspaper pointed out that the Villa Park Stadium has become the most terrifying home court in the entire Premier League and even in Europe. Here, no matter whether you are Arsenal or Liverpool, start with five goals.

The title of "Daily Mail" used a joke to put the title of "Liverpool's super gift pack after Christmas", saying that Liverpool's defense line was almost unprepared, and Aston Villa easily won 7:2 at home.

Zhang Chen looked at these newspapers with relish, and was also a little regretful. If the flight had not been cancelled and had to transfer to the next flight, they would have been able to arrive in Birmingham two days in advance and watch the magnificent game on site.

Zhang Chen, 45, is a middle-level manager of the football school opened by Aston Villa Club in China. His mission this time is to escort a group of outstanding students to Birmingham.

He glanced at the children chatting excitedly and smiled with relief.

These children are all good seedlings.

...

Staff from Aston Villa Club on the bus turned on the on-board TV.

News is being played on TV:

Liverpool coach Kenny Dalglish missed the post-match press conference after yesterday's 2-7 defeat.

Since attending press conferences and accepting media questions is the responsibility of every Premier League coach before and after the game, Daglish may be severely punished by the FA.

According to the official statement given by Liverpool Club, Daglish did not attend the press conference because the club bus departed early, and this explanation obviously would not satisfy the FA.

After returning to Liverpool, Daglish avoided his absence from the press conference.

However, Daglish still took responsibility for the failure. He said in an interview: "This failure is my mistake, I take all the responsibility. I think it is no longer meaningful to discuss the mistakes we made. Of course, this is one of the worst games in my coaching career. We have prepared a lot for this game and we definitely don't want to get such a result."

Aston Villa head coach Fang Jue accepted an interview with Villa's official website.

The head coach who just led the team to win the Club World Cup and has led the team to slaughter Arsenal and Liverpool in a row after returning, said he is proud of his players.

However, Fang Jue also specifically stated that "Discussions of 6-0 or 7-2 are not meaningful. For Aston Villa, the most important thing is to get three points."

"The boss said this is so cool," said a boy with a golf cap.

"Hey, Zhang Yang, do you understand English?" asked a very strong boy sitting behind him in surprise.

"He knows nothing." A boy with a shaved head in the front row shouted, winking at Zhang Yang, "Zhang Yang, you can't hear the boss flattering here."

"Yang Fan, shut up." Zhang Yang retorted, "I admire my boss from the bottom of my heart."

"cut!"

"Hahaha!"

The children burst into laughter and made a fuss.

...

"Okay, kids." Zhang Chen clapped his hands, "Stop making trouble."

"I'm going to get to where I live soon, what time will I say."

"First of all, remember to abide by team discipline. Since everyone can be selected into the training camp, this may be the most important opportunity in your life. Everyone should cherish this opportunity. I don't want anyone to be returned because of undiscipline and miss this opportunity."

"The second point is to repeat the old tune and English questions. You will train with Aston Villa's youth echelon, and you must pass the language level."

"Also, we should communicate with other Aston Villa players as much as possible. During the next period, you will be teammates, be more familiar with the British football culture and atmosphere and get involved."

"According to the arrangement, we will join the youth echelon training in Aston Villa, and the students who performed well will even have the opportunity to participate in the Youth League. I hope everyone can make an excuse and seize this good opportunity."

"Finally, you can contact me if you have anything. Of course, there will be someone in the club to take charge of you. If you have anything, you can just contact Mr. Fris."

"Okay, is there any other problem?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Can we meet Coach Fang Jue?" Zhang Yang immediately raised his hand and asked.

"Yes, Director Zhang, will the boss meet us?"

"I promised my sister that I would like to ask for a boss's signature photo."

"Quiet." Zhang Chen shouted, "The boss is also concerned about you, but you also know that it is the Christmas devil schedule in the Premier League. After this time, I believe the boss will come to visit you."

...

Vera Training Base.

Head coach's office.

Club general manager Byron brought a group of subordinates to report on the work.

"Kagawa Shinji's transfer is almost completed, and he will wait for the transfer window to open and complete the final procedures and registration process."

"Yeah, it's very good, is there anything else?" Fang Jue asked.

"Boss, the selection team at the Chinese football school has arrived today," said Taylor, deputy director of the youth training department.

"It's already arrived? Well, all of them have been arranged."

“We rented an apartment near the training base and it has been arranged.”

"Huh?" Fang Jue thought for a while, "rearrange it and arrange for boarding players in the youth echelon to live with them."

Fang Jue thought for a while, "In this way, two people are in a room, one is selected and one is selected. "

"I understand, boss."

"Does this group of players have any good seedlings?" Fang Jue asked.

"There are some good guys from the football school," Taylor said. "The boss, you have a good vision. There are a few players you discovered before."

Fang Jue is very concerned about domestic football schools. The school will send students' training and game videos to Aston Villa Club. Fang Jue will watch them if you have time.

Then, he called out the names of several students and asked the school to focus on training.

Some of the students who were named by him have indeed performed well, and have won the recognition and praise of football school coaches and teachers.

However, there are also some that are mediocre but are pointed out by Fang Jue.

Although the football school was surprised because they didn't see anything surprising about the player.

However, when the boss spoke, they naturally had to do so.

Hey, then they noticed that there were a few people named by Fang Jue, but the students who had performed averagely before gradually began to show their talents and their performance began to become more and more eye-catching.

In addition to being shocked, they could only sigh that the boss is worthy of being a famous wise eye in football, and this is a sensation that looks at people is useless.

...

Just arrived at the apartment I checked in.

Zhang Chen received the call.

"Okay, kids, there is a new change." Zhang Chen clapped his hands, "The original accommodation allocation was cancelled. I just received the news that the club will arrange for everyone to live in a mixed manner with some players from Villa's youth echelon."

“A college and a Villa youth echelon player live in a room.”

"ah?"

"No way."

"I can't understand English."

"Guide Zhang, do you want to react with the superiors? Let's live together by ourselves and be familiar with each other." Someone shouted.

"Shut up, this arrangement is good for you. Living with the players of the Villa Youth Echelon will help you learn English quickly and help you integrate as soon as possible."

"Guide Zhang..."

"Stop talking, this is the boss's decision."

"Boss, Zhang Zhi you said?"

"That's right, it's the big boss' decision." Zhang Chen said happily. The news excited him very much. The boss personally issued an order, indicating that the boss was very concerned about these children.

"What does this mean? It means that the boss really cares about everyone, pays attention to everyone." Zhang Chen's expression was serious, "Eat a bite of steamed bun and try to breathe. Use your actual actions and performance to tell Vera's new teammates that you are not bad, you are also very outstanding, and this is also a good match for the boss!"

"I understand!" the young men stopped making noise and shouted seriously.

...

"Oh, hell, why separate us from the two of you?" Jack Gallish complained.

As he said that, he winked at a big guy, "Kevin, I wouldn't be able to sleep without you."

"I beat you up and you will fall asleep." Kevin Lee said in a loud voice.

"Hahahaha!" Other players in Aston Villa's U19 echelon laughed.

They just received a notice from coach George Smith that the echelon boarding players need to re-arrange the rooms and they will live with the Chinese selection team players from the Via Football School in China.
