Berbatov was injured and could not continue the game.

Manchester United made a substitution.

Fang Jue watched Manchester United complete this substitution, turned his head to look at the Manchester United coach's seat, and snorted.

Ferguson was replaced by Fletcher.

Remove a striker and replace it with a midfielder to strengthen the defence.

Ferguson's intentions were clear, to hold on to the 1-1 scoreline.

A 1-1 draw coupled with an away goal was a fantastic result that was perfectly acceptable for Manchester United.

That scoreline meant that back at home in the second leg, United needed only a 0-0 draw to beat Aston Villa on away goals.

Fang Jue glanced at his bench, "Abang Laho, go warm up." ”

If Aston Villa were motivated to attack and expand the score, now they are forced to attack, they must score at least one more goal and win the game at home, otherwise the second leg will be very passive.

Three minutes later, Abang Lajo came off the bench and Stroman was substituted.

Under the tide of Aston Villa's attack, Manchester United's defence remained unmoved.

In the closing stages of the game, Manchester United's South Korean midfielder Park Ji-sung received a second yellow card and was sent off.

Immediately after injury time, Carrick also received a second yellow card and was sent off.

Manchester United, who faced the nine-man team, held on to a 1-1 draw.

Referee Willy Caballo blew the whistle for the end of the match.

"It's over! The game is over! Manchester United, who were sent off by two people, drew 1-1 away to Aston Villa! It was a scoreline that would have satisfied Ferguson. ”

"Just look at Fang Jue's face, how dissatisfied he is with the result, the 1-1 scoreline means that Aston Villa must win in the second leg, or at least a 2-2 draw to advance."

At the post-match press conference, Fang Jue strongly questioned the referee's penalty decision.

'I watched the replay of the penalty and I was 100 per cent sure that the penalty did not exist. Fang Jue said.

"Koulibaly brought down Berbatov and injured him, that's what happened." Ferguson immediately retorted.

The two men broke out again at a press conference.

Journalists watched with gusto, and after Jose Mourinho left the Premier League, they finally saw someone who could compete with Alex Ferguson.

After the press conference.

"See, this is Manchester United, this is the resilience of a real giant!" In the hallway, Ferguson said, "You really don't want to think about coming to Manchester United to coach? ”

Ferguson still insisted that Fang Jue was the most suitable one to take over his class, and he was still making his last efforts.

"I can't afford Manchester United, it's useless to say this." Fang Jue said.

Ferguson sighed, this guy is the boss of Aston Villa, this is something that can't be done.

"Garethbell, I love it." Ferguson said.

"Go dream." Fang Jue said immediately, and then he looked at the old Scottish man's expression, "Are you serious?" ”

This is the third time Ferguson has mentioned Bale to him in person.

This made Fang Jue begin to realize that Ferguson was serious and Manchester United really wanted to poach Bale.

'The club will arrange for someone to be approached by Villa to discuss the transfer. Ferguson said.

"Impossible!" Fang Jue's attitude was resolute, "Bell is absolutely not for sale!" ”

"There's no one Manchester United can't buy."

"You think you are Real Madrid, you can poach Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United." Fang Jue was angry and stabbed the old man.

Ferguson immediately changed his face and left in a huff.

The two parted happily again.

Fang Jue looked at the back of the old man leaving, his expression became serious, it seemed that Ferguson was determined to buy Bell, which made him vigilant.

He must be reluctant to sell Bell, but no matter how good the corner is, he can't stand being dug up constantly.

Especially Bale's attitude, will he be tempted by the invitation of the giants?

This is something that Fang Jue needs to pay attention to and be vigilant about.

……

Aston Villa were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Manchester United in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final.

It was a score that was not good for Aston Villa.

The most direct feedback from this incident is that after the game, the major betting agencies immediately adjusted the odds of Aston Villa to win the championship.

Clearly, after a one-on-one game, the bookmakers are more favourable for United to reach the final.

Fang Jue didn't get angry with the players, he instead gave the team a day off to let everyone have a good rest.

Although the score of 1 to 1 is not ideal, after being unhappy, Fang Jue thought carefully, this game, this score, came very timely, and it was a blow and a warning to the whole team.

After a 59-game unbeaten run in the league and back-to-back Champions League visits to AC Milan and Inter Milan, there is a sense of pride throughout the Aston Villa squad.

When a team keeps winning, it's natural for the players to drift a little psychologically.

The score of 1-1 is not too bad, just enough to cool down the players.

Of course, it also cooled down Fang Jue himself, in fact, when the semi-final draw was drawn to Manchester United, Fang Jue himself thought that this was a very good opponent to bully, Aston Villa maintained an unbeaten record of four wins and one draw against Manchester United in the league, which made Fang Jue a little floating.

This one-to-one made Fang Jue calm down.

Before the game, Ferguson said that Manchester United's advantage is experience, and Fang Jue didn't care too much, but judging from the first leg of this semi-final, the game experience is indeed very lacking in Aston Villa.

In the case of the penalty that led to Manchester United's goal, the main reason was that Kalidou Koulibaly was too young and experienced.

If this is a change of identity, it is Aston Villa who replaces a player, and Rio Ferdinand or Vidic on Manchester United's side will definitely not relax, and will form a defensive line as soon as possible and will not make mistakes.

Being young comes at a price.

Thankfully, it's not a final, it's a two-legged knockout tie and Aston Villa have a second game to make amends.

……

The next night, Fang Jue watched the first leg of another semi-final at home, a Spanish civil clash between Real Madrid and Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The match between Real Madrid and Barcelona, known as the Spanish national derby, is the battle of the century, and the confrontation between two teams with Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi respectively is a match of global attention.

However, there have been a noticeably excessive number of Spanish national derbies this season.

This is the third meeting between the two sides in 18 days out of four duels.

In the previous 240 matchups of the century, Barcelona had a slight advantage, with 1 win, 51 draws and 89 losses.

In the Champions League, Real Madrid, who have won the Champions League nine times, have reached the semi-finals 21 times and advanced to the final 12 times.

Barcelona, which has stood at the top of Europe three times, has reached the semi-finals 11 times before, and eliminated opponents five times.

The two teams have met in European competition three times before, with Real Madrid having the upper hand with 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, including 1 win and 2 draws at home, and eliminated Barcelona in both semi-finals.

Therefore, before the game, the Spanish media was generally optimistic that Mourinho's Real Madrid would win the century-old rival Barcelona at home.

In the end, in the Champions League national derby at the Bernabeu, Real Madrid lost 0-2 at home to Barcelona, Pepe was sent off in the second half, and Mourinho was sent off to the stands.

Messi scored twice in the game.

This is the first time in Barcelona's history that they have won away from Spain in Europe, and they are expected to reach the Champions League final for the third time in three years.

Real Madrid's unbeaten unbeaten run against Spanish teams at home in European competition was ended, although it has won Barcelona away in the European knockout round twice in its history, but with Pepe, Ramos and Mourinho all suspended, after the game, the Spanish media generally believed that Real Madrid's visit to Camp Nou was unlucky, and Barcelona had almost advanced to the final.

Fang Jue put down the newspaper.

The front page of the newspaper was Pep Guardiola's bald head and smiling face.

A reporter asked Guardiola whether the 2-0 away win over Real Madrid means that Barcelona has locked the ticket to the final in advance.

Pep Guardiola is more cautious, saying Barcelona still need a tough game to qualify for the final.

However, when he said this, Guardiola had a bright smile on his face.

Fake, not sincere at all.

Fang Jue snorted, he was already sure that if Aston Villa could turn the tables and kill Manchester United in the second leg and reach the final, the opponent would be Pep Guardiola's Barcelona.

Two years ago, in Guardiola's first season in charge of Barcelona, Fang Jue led Ibiza to create a miracle of winning the championship as a dark horse, snatching the La Liga championship from Guardiola's hands, which can be regarded as an old grudge.

This time, when the two meet again, it may be the final of the Champions League!

Of course, Aston Villa will have to get past Manchester United first.

Three days later, in the 35th round of the Premier League, Aston Villa played West Bromwich Albion away.

Before the game, some media said that Aston Villa could be broken in this game, the reason is simple, Aston Villa will be distracted from the second leg of the Champions League semi-final with Manchester United in midweek, in addition, the one-to-one with Manchester United is also a blow to Aston Villa, and the morale of the players will be relatively low.

Tony Parker vowed on his website that Aston Villa would be taught a good lesson by West Bromwich Albion in this game.

The game was particularly eye-catching because Aston Villa were 10 points ahead of second-placed Manchester United, and should Aston Villa win away at West Bromwich Albion Albion to secure the Premier League title three games ahead of schedule and successfully defend their title.

Ninety minutes of play ended.

Fang Jue raised his arms high and cheered victory proudly.

With Ronaldo, Luis Suarez and Luka Modric in action, Aston Villa beat West Bromwich Albion 3-0 away to extend their unbeaten run in the league to 60 games and continue their unbeaten run.

The most important thing is that after winning this game, Aston Villa won the Premier League title three rounds ahead of schedule and achieved the league title for a second consecutive year!

A few minutes later, the game on the other pitch came to an end as Arsenal beat Manchester United 1-0 at home.

In this game, Ferguson made a large rotation, and the Champions League semi-finals drew 1-1 away to Aston Villa, which made Ferguson see the hope of hitting the Champions League title again, and he finally made up his mind to give up the league and focus on the Champions League.

Aston Villa are as many as 13 points ahead of Manchester United.

Of course, it doesn't matter how many points you lead, Aston Villa are the champions.

When the Aston Villa squad returned to Birmingham, they were greeted by Aston Villa fans.

Fans excitedly celebrated the defending league title.

However, Aston Villa then announced that they would not celebrate the Premier League title for the time being, and everything would wait until the end of the Champions League.

For Fang Jue and Aston Villa, winning the league also allows the team to prepare for the Champions League without distraction!

The glory of the top of Europe, no one can refuse this temptation!
