Football: The strongest center in history

Chapter 665: The Prince’s Team

After the first round, Manchester’s two teams occupied one or two places in the standings.

With goal difference, Manchester United overwhelmed Manchester City and finished at the top of the table.

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

Manchester United, as the number one hegemon in the history of the Premier League, has several “cash machines” that they particularly like: Aston Villa, Tottenham Hotspur, and Everton.

Facing Tottenham in the first round, United won again at home.

Why say again?

In the Premier League, Manchester United has won the 31st time against Tottenham Hotspur, and is the second team in Manchester United’s Premier League history to score the most points on opponents.

In the second round, Manchester United’s opponent was Aston Villa – United’s favourite opponent as they have beaten Villa thirty-two times in Premier League history and are the team that has given United the most points.

United’s last defeat to Villa was back in December 2009, when Aston Villa won 1-0 at Old Trafford thanks to a header from Abon Rajo.

The last time the Reds lost at Villa Park was exactly 0 years ago – on August 19, 195, Ferguson’s youth army visited 1-3 North, and the Neville brothers, Butt, Scholes and David Beckham were all witnesses.

It was that defeat that made Alan Hansen shout the famous phrase: “You can’t win anything with a bunch of kids!” ”

What a distant memory 20 years ago.

At that time, Villa’s young talent Jack Grealish and Manchester United striker James Wilson were not yet born, while Luke Shaw was just a month old.

But since then, Aston Villa has suddenly become Manchester United’s “point boy”: they have led by 180 minutes in their last 19 home games against the Red Devils (1,710 minutes in total), scoring a measly 9 goals, compared to Manchester United’s 30!

Against Villa, Manchester United’s winning stand is quite large.

This time too, despite the change of manager, not many would think that Villa can pose any threat to United at home – everyone is used to losing to Manchester United.

The match between Manchester United and Villa was the earliest opening match of the Premier League round, but it was brought forward to Friday evening as United play a Champions League qualifying match in the middle of next week.

Last season, Villa struggled to relegate, and this season, although they released Bentek, they successively introduced strong men such as Ayu and Gueye, and their strength has increased a lot.

This season, of course, they won’t want to struggle like they did last season.

Facing Manchester United at home, Villa have clearly made some waves at home, sending three strikers to start at home, Scott Sinclair, Abang Rajo and a striker.

I have to say that the head coach of Villa is bold in giving points……… Or rather adventure.

Villa were indeed too adventurous, and although they played at Villa Park and they fielded a formation that was inclined to attack, from the beginning, the pace of the game was on this side, and Manchester United easily controlled the situation, so that Villa could not play attacking momentum at home.

Prince William sat in the stands of Villa Park and looked at the expression on his face at the moment to know that his home team was in a bad situation at this time.

Vera Park was good at first, but now it seems to be deflated.

Because Manchester United scored!

Since the situation was firmly controlled by Manchester United, Fellaini simply went to the forward position and formed twin towers with Ronaldo, which made Villa more careless to defend.

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

In the twelfth minute, left-back Sandro crossed from the left and the ball first bypassed Fellaini’s unkempt header, but Ronaldo did not miss the opportunity at the back post, and he jumped high with a header to the top.

With Fellaini helping him share the defensive pressure, he is more comfortable in the box.

One to zero!

Prince William sat in his seat crying.

Considering the face of the royal family, of course, he could not say any indecent words to the Villa fans sitting in the other stands, but his bad face was indeed very obvious.

It is no secret in the world that the English royal family is a fan of Villa.

Among Vera’s team emblems is a lion, and this lion appears widely on various English flags.

The Villa team’s nickname “telions” clearly indicates that the team is inextricably linked to the royal family, and Prince Charles and Prince William are both fans of the Villa team.

Compared with other clubs, Villa has received a lot of support in English high society, which may be related to the royal family’s support for Vera.

Villa’s early establishment (187), good results (especially in the early days, the 19th century won the top league championship five times and the FA Cup three times), and although it fell and flourished in the later period (even won the Champions League in 982, it was one of only five English teams), which is also an important reason why Villa was able to attract a large number of fans and make it a fan for generations.

Despite Villa’s current poor results, 98 of their fan base are white, which is one of the few fans in England, which is currently dominated by Indian, African and Muslim populations.

Compared to other English giants, Manchester United and Manchester City are both workers’ clubs, Liverpool is the home team of dockers, and Arsenal’s nickname arsenal goes without saying.

Chelsea, on the other hand, were basically a relegation team before Abu came in, and were still fighting in the second division in the late eighties.

The jazz of England who had a bit of status did not even care about the middle class, how could they support a team with mud-legged workers… So Aston Villa, who has good results and historical heritage, has slowly accumulated such a group of “high-quality” fans in more than a hundred years of history.

Although Vera has “deep roots”, it cannot stand the current lack of strength.

When the game was over, the upper-class people of Vera Park were doomed to be in a bad mood.

The bright red “0:4” on the scoreboard darkened the faces of the home fans.

Another 4-0, this time for Manchester United was Ronaldo, who went on to score twice in the second game, except for that header in the twelfth minute, and towards the end of the first half, he knocked on Villa again with a long-range shot.

In the second half, Fellaini scored with a corner kick and Carrick scored from distance.

Once again, United took three points away from Villa Park.

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