At the end of the game between Aston Villa and Arsenal.

On another field, referee Atkinson also blew the whistle at the end of the game.

Aston Villa’s city rivals, Birmingham, drew a tenacious zero-to-zero draw with powerful leaders Chelsea at home.

"Chelsea is tied!"

Assistant coach Steve Werner's shouts made the visiting team locker room at the Emirates Stadium boil.

"Long live!"

"awesome!"

Aston Villa players are very excited.

Originally, winning Arsenal has ensured that Aston Villa's ranking surpassed Arsenal and ranked second in the league with 41 points.

Now, Chelsea is tied by Birmingham, with 42 points.

Aston Villa is only one point behind Chelsea!

The 19th round of the league and half of the league ended, the team ranked second in the league.

Aston Villa is only one point behind leaders Chelsea.

At the same time, one point ahead of Manchester United.

Lead Arsenal by three points.

Such results and rankings are something that no one dreams of.

This is also Aston Villa's best half-time result in the past 30 years.

At the press conference after the game.

A reporter asked Fang Jue that Aston Villa is only one point behind Chelsea. Have you ever thought of competing for the Premier League title?

"Our goal is to stay in the top four in the league at the end of the season." Fang Jue said.

"League champion?"

"That's Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool."

"Aston Villa's young and handsome head coach firmly denies that Aston Villa has the strength and opportunity to get involved in the league championship."-"The Times".

According to the "Times", Liverpool Fang Jue's reaction to this was quite embarrassing, and some Liverpool fans even suspected that the Aston Villa manager had deliberately eliminated them.

Because, after the 19th round of the league, Aston Villa ranked second in the league with 41 points; while Liverpool ranked seventh in the league with only 30 points.

If you are a second place, you say that seventh place is closer to first. Are you sure this is a good thing?

...

The Manchester United bus drove slowly in the night.

The players are in a good mood, very happy, playing in the car.

Ferguson closed his eyes, dozingly.

He is not going to sleep, the old man enjoys this feeling after winning.

Listening to the happy talk of the boys, his heart is extremely satisfied and at ease.

"Arsenal lost to Aston Villa one to four at home." A voice rang in his ear, that of Ferran.

Ferguson opened his eyes with a surprised expression.

It's not that he never thought that Arsenal would lose to Aston Villa, after all, Aston Villa had already won Chelsea, Liverpool and their Manchester United.

He just didn't expect Arsenal to lose so badly.

"Go back and organize the game, I want to watch it." Ferguson said immediately.

"Okay." Feilan nodded.

"Ashley Young came off the bench in the second half of the game, first assisted ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Husky scored, and then he scored a goal." Ferran continued.

Ferguson first showed a surprised expression and nodded in satisfaction.

Then, the old Scottish man smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Vera people will definitely ask for higher prices."

...

Manchester United has very rich negotiation skills.

Ashley Young's outstanding performance will directly affect the player's transfer value, which is inevitable.

Buy up and not buy down.

Manchester United knows that Aston Villa will raise the asking price more greedily.

Therefore, Manchester United took the initiative to raise the offer the next morning.

20 million pounds!

Manchester United directly increased the quotation of 18 million pounds to 20 million pounds.

This is the power of Ashley Young's pass and shot, which directly caused Manchester United to increase the price by two million pounds without hesitation.

However, this price obviously still cannot satisfy Aston Villa.

Ashley Young’s transfer negotiations, Fang Jue was handed over to the club’s general manager Byron.

All his energy was spent at home against Liverpool a day later.

Just played against Arsenal on December 27th.

Liverpool will be played on December 29.

Then on January 2nd of the new year is the FA Cup against Blackburn.

Aston Villa will play three games in seven days, two of which are strong dialogues.

Such an intensive schedule also made Fang Jue want to curse.

The day before the match against Liverpool, after training.

The team is about to turn thirty-two years old England center Husky found Fang Jue.

"Coach, do you have time?" Husky asked.

Fang Jue gave Husky a surprised look, nodded, and motioned for the other party to talk to him in the office.

Husky is very honest.

He told Fang Jue that he had received an offer that he could not refuse and wanted to move away from Aston Villa.

"Coach, I'm very happy this half of the season with you." Husky said.

"It's just that, I can't refuse this offer." Husky continued, "At my age, this may be the last lucrative contract I can get."

Fang Jue nodded, he expressed understanding.

He was not angry either.

First of all, Husky has a good attitude.

Secondly, from a logical point of view, the veteran wants to pursue the last lucrative contract of his career, and the club really should not set up obstacles.

Of course, this has a prerequisite, that is, Aston Villa's interests should not be harmed.

Moreover, this does not seem to need to be worried.

The former England international has issued a generous contract invitation to the UAE giants Al Ahli.

The Gulf giants are not bad for money.

According to Husky, Al Ahli will show sincerity in the transfer fee.

Fang Jue liked this sentence.

No, to be precise, he likes dealing with such a sincere team.

When it comes to this, Fang Jue knew he couldn't stop Husky from making big money.

The only worry is that if Husky moves away, the team's employment problem on the front line.

In this case, Fang Jue still has three genuine forwards like Van Nistelrooy, Diego Costa and Abang Raho on hand, as well as Mane.

Of course, Gareth Bale and even Deisler can also play wingers.

Normally, such a striker configuration is fine.

However, I am most afraid of injuries, especially at the center position. Once Van Nistelrooy or Diego Costa is injured, Fang Jue will not have a center substitute.

If possible, after the winter transfer window opens, still see if you can find a replacement center in the transfer market.

...

December 29.

The 20th round of the 2009/2010 Premier League season.

It was also the last game of Aston Villa in 2009.

Aston Villa's home game vs Liverpool.

Half an hour before the start of the game, the Villa Park stadium was full.

Aston Villa is currently ranked second in the league, only one point behind league leaders Chelsea.

This greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of Aston Villa fans.

Now, tickets for the Aston Villa home game can be said to be hard to find.

The cheapest ticket of 28 pounds, even some fans openly bid for the price, willing to pay two or three times the price to buy.

The average ticket for the cheapest seat in each club in the Premier League is about 30 pounds (about 335 yuan), but there is a big difference in ticket prices for different clubs.

The cheapest ticket for the Manchester United club is 31 pounds and the most expensive is 58 pounds.

League leader Chelsea’s lowest ticket price is 52 pounds, the highest of all clubs, and their most expensive ticket is 87 pounds.

From the perspective of a single game, the club with the highest specifications among the cheapest home tickets is Chelsea, and the average ticket price for the Blues is over £60.

Arsenal's cheapest ticket is 27 pounds, which is lower than the average, but their most expensive ticket is 130 pounds, ranking first in the Premier League.

It is also the main reason why Arsenal was caught by the media for criticism.

The cheapest ticket in the Premier League comes from Burnley, at only 21 pounds.

Aston Villa's cheapest seat at 28 pounds is lower than the Premier League average.

The most expensive ticket is £56, which can also be said to be relatively cheap.

Looking at the team's outstanding performance and the hot market, the top management of Aston Villa Club has begun to discuss whether to increase the price of tickets.

"Luke Young is back in the starting lineup for the first time in recent rounds."

"Ashley Young, who played well against Arsenal last round, appeared in the starting lineup."

"There are rumors that Ferguson has taken a fancy to Ashley Young and has already sent a quotation to Aston Villa."

"However, Aston Villa has always denied that Ashley Young will leave the team."

"At the press conference before the game, Aston Villa head coach Fang Jue refuted that,'Those (that Ashley Young will transfer and leave) are all fake news'!"

Before the game started, when the head coaches of both sides shook hands.

Benitez, who has always been unsmiling, actually joked, "I don't want to hear you praise me as a'winner' today."

Fang Jue squeezed out an awkward smile, "I hope today is a wonderful game."

The two exchanged simple greetings and separated.

The game has started for more than twenty minutes, and the score on the court is zero to zero.

The guest Liverpool wanted to take preemptive strikes. They used the opportunity to kick-off to put pressure on Aston Villa's goal.

And then organized two more attacks.

However, Liverpool's defense is doing very well.

After overcoming Liverpool's offensive in the opening stage, Aston Villa began to show off their offensive strength.

Clemente intercepted Benayoun's pass in the backcourt.

Then the football was passed out.

Petrov after receiving the football.

There is no choice to dribble.

Instead, knock the football back.

Milner takes the ball.

He did not let the football stay at his feet, but sent it to the right.

The football just fell to the feet of Deisler who was in front!

"Aston Villa did not blindly press on." John Mortensen said.

"This is because Benitez obviously learned the lesson of losing to Aston Villa in the first round of the season. Today, Liverpool's Aston Villa's counter-attack defense was quite successful, and Aston Villa's quick counter-attack failed to fight. Up."

Deisler took the ball along the right wing.

He took a distance and attracted Liverpool's left-back to intercept, but suddenly shifted the ball laterally and widely.

The football went directly to Ashley Young on the left.

Desler suddenly transferred the football laterally to Ashley Young, which was indeed beyond Liverpool's expectations.

But if they were cheated so easily, Liverpool would not be Liverpool.

Benitez is clearly prepared for this game.

Lucas and Mascherano immediately made up their defenses.

One goes up to interfere with Ashley Young~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and one is ready to make up the gap in the middle.

Just when Lucas pounced on Ashley Young.

Ashley Young passed the ball again.

He did not pass it to Petrov, who was closest to him.

Nor did it pass to Milner who was close to him to help.

But some unexpectedly made a slant pass of nearly 30 meters, passing the football directly to the right, Deisler.

It is another horizontal line to transfer the ball.

"Ashley Young! This is really... a precise pass!" The commentator John Mortensen exclaimed in awe.

"Ashley Young's performance this season is a huge surprise." Lineker also said happily, "Next year's World Cup, I look forward to Ashley Young's World Cup debut performance."

The match between Aston Villa and Liverpool is the focus of this round of the Premier League and one of the early kick-off matches.

Manchester United’s game is the latest kick-off of this round, so, at this moment, Manchester United coach Ferguson is watching the game in front of the TV.

Seeing Ashley Young's very wide field of vision and accurate diagonal long pass, the old Scottish man also applauded.

Ashley Young did pass the ball very accurately.

Deisler's stoppage also made people applaud.

Seeing Deisler stretched his foot while running, he hooked the football off.

Very stable.

"The pass is beautiful! Stopping the ball is also very exciting!" said the domestic commentator Zhan Jun admiring the game. "Aston Villa made full use of the width of the field to pull back Liverpool's defense."
