Liverpool's 7-2 defeat at Aston Villa caused widespread consternation in the English media.

Before the game, the general belief was that Liverpool had a chance to draw or even win against a tired Aston Villa.

Of course, the most immediate view is that maybe Liverpool will still lose, but no one expected to lose so badly.

Major media in England have typed the headlines of "Nightmare", "Disaster" and "Nightmare Night" to mourn the defeat of the Reds and Liverpool.

The Metro's website headline reads, "Nightmare night in Liverpool!" ", saying that Liverpool suffered a 7-2 defeat to Aston Villa in a terrible, catastrophic fashion.

The Guardian's headline on its website reads: "Liverpool, what a shame, Aston Villa win 7-2!" After reporting and commenting on the match, the English outlet concluded by pointing out that Aston Towards slaughtered Arsenal and Liverpool in four consecutive days with such a dense schedule and exhaustion:

Looking at the current stance, barring a miracle, there is no team that prevents Aston Villa from successfully defending their Premier League title.

The headline in The Times read, "Villa Park, 7:2 at the Devils' home stadium!" The newspaper pointed out that Villa Park has become the most terrifying home stadium in the entire Premier League and even in the whole of Europe, where whether you are Arsenal or Liverpool, you start with five goals.

The Daily Mail's headline was playfully titled "Liverpool reap post-Christmas mega package", saying that Liverpool's backline was almost unguarded, and Aston Villa easily won 7-2 at home.

Zhang Chen looked at the newspapers with relish, and at the same time regretted that 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 earlier, and they would have been able to watch this magnificent game on the spot.

The 45-year-old is a middle-level manager of Aston Villa's football school in China, and this time tasked with escorting a group of talented students to Birmingham.

He glanced at the excited children who were chatting excitedly, and smiled with satisfaction.

These children are all good seedlings.

……

The staff of the Aston Villa Club on the bus turned on the on-board TV.

The news is playing on the TV:

After yesterday's 2-7 defeat, Liverpool manager Kenny Murphy . Dalglish missed the post-match press conference.

As attending press conferences and taking questions from the media is the duty of every Premier League manager before and after the game, Dalglish is likely to be heavily penalised by the FA for doing so.

According to the official statement given by Liverpool FC, Dalglish did not attend the press conference because the club bus departed early, an explanation that obviously will not please the FA.

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

Still, Dalglish took responsibility for the failure, saying in an interview: "This failure was my mistake and I take all the blame. I don't think there's any point in discussing the mistakes we've made. Of course, it was one of the worst games of my coaching career. We've prepared a lot for this game and we definitely don't want that result. ”

Aston Villa manager Fang Jue was interviewed by Villa's official website.

The manager, who had just won the Club World Cup with his team and returned from slaughtering Arsenal and Liverpool in quick succession, said he was proud of his players.

However, Fang Jue also said in particular: "There is not much point in discussing 6-0 or 7-2, for Aston Villa, the most important thing is to get three points. ”

"That's a cool thing to say, boss." A boy with a golf cap said.

"Huh, Zhang Yang, can you understand English?" A stout boy sitting in the seat behind him asked in surprise.

"He knows." A boy with a small flat head in the front row shouted, squeezing his eyebrows at Zhang Yang, "Zhang Yang, slap the boss's ass here, and the boss can't hear it." ”

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

"Cut!"

"Hahaha!"

The children burst into laughter and made a mess.

……

"All right, kids." Zhang Chen clapped his hands, "Don't make trouble." ”

"I'm about to get to where I live, I'll talk about a few points."

"First of all, remember, you have to abide by team discipline, since you 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 rejected because of undiscipline, miss this opportunity."

"The second point is to repeat the same old tune, the English problem, you will train with the youth team of Aston Villa, and the language must be passed."

'Also, you have to talk to the other players at Aston Villa as much as possible, and in the coming period you will all be teammates and be more familiar with the culture and atmosphere of English football.

"According to the arrangement, we will join the youth team at Aston Villa and the students who have performed well will even have the opportunity to play in the youth league, so I hope everyone can fight and take advantage of this great opportunity."

"Finally, you can contact me if you have anything, of course, there will be someone in charge of you on the club's side, and you can also go directly to Mr. Friese if you have anything."

"Okay, any more questions?" 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 a signed photo of my boss."

"Quiet." Zhang Chen shouted loudly, "The boss also cares about you, but you also know that it is the Christmas devil schedule of the Premier League, and when this time is over, I believe the boss will come to visit you." ”

……

Villa training base.

Head Coach's Office.

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

"Shinji Kagawa's transfer is close to completion, just waiting for the transfer window to open, and complete the final formalities and registration process."

"Well, good, is there anything else?" Fang Jue asked.

"Boss, the selection team for football schools in China has arrived today." Taylor, the deputy head of the youth department, said.

"Already there? Well, it's all arranged. ”

"We rented an apartment near the training base and it was already arranged."

"Huh?" Fang Jue thought for a moment, "Rearrange it and arrange for the boarding players of the youth echelon to live with them." ”

Fang Jue thought for a while, "In this way, two people have one room, one selection team player, and one echelon player." ”

"Understood, boss."

"Are there any good seedlings in this group of players?" Fang Jue asked.

"The feedback from the football school is that there are some good boys." Taylor said, "It's still the boss who has a good eye, and there are a couple of players that you have discovered before. ”

Fang Jue is very concerned about football schools in China, and the school will send videos of students' training and games to Aston Villa Club, and Fang Jue will watch them when he has time.

Then, he named a few students and asked the school to focus on training.

Some of the students who were selected by him have indeed had outstanding performances and won the recognition and praise of the coaches and teachers of the football school.

However, there are also mediocre performances that were pointed out by Fang Jue.

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

However, the big boss spoke, and they naturally had to do it.

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

In addition to being shocked, they can only sigh that the boss is worthy of being a well-known discerning eye in football, which is not said by people's eyes.

……

Just arrived at the apartment where I checked in.

Zhang Chen received a call.

"Alright, kids, there's a new twist." Zhang Chen clapped his hands, "The original accommodation allocation has been cancelled, and I just received news that the club will arrange for everyone to live together with some players from Villa's youth echelon." ”

"One academy and one player from Villa's youth team live in one room."

"Huh?"

"No, it won't."

"I don't understand English."

"Director Zhang, do you want to react with the above, let's live together by ourselves and be familiar with each other." Someone shouted.

"Shut up, it's good for you to live with the players in the youth team of Villa, it helps you learn English quickly and it helps you integrate as quickly as possible."

"Coach Zhang......"

"Don't say it, it's the boss's decision."

"Boss, do you mean?"

"That's right, it's the big boss's decision." Zhang Chen said happily that the news made him very excited, and the boss personally gave the order, indicating that the boss cared about these children.

"What does this mean, it shows that the boss really cares about everyone and pays attention to everyone." Zhang Chen's expression was serious, "Eat a mouthful of steamed buns and fight for breath, and use your actual actions and performance to tell Vera's new teammates that you are not bad, you are also very good, and this is also to fight for the boss!" ”

"Understood!" The boys stopped making noise and shouted earnestly.

……

"Oh hell, why did you separate the two of us." Jack. Grealish grumbled.

As he spoke, he winked at a big man, "Kevin, I wouldn't have been able to sleep without you at night." ”

"I'll beat you up and you'll be asleep." Kevin. Li said in a loud voice.

"Hahahaha!" The rest of Aston Villa's Under-19 squad laughed.

They just received coach George. Smith informed that the boarding players of the echelon team will need to be rearranged and they will live one-on-one with the Chinese selection team players from the Chinese Villa Football School in China.

This naturally caused a whining and dissatisfaction among these young Aston Villa players.

The main thing is that everyone is used to roommates, and suddenly separated, they are definitely unwilling.

Moreover, the new roommate is a foreigner, and the language is different, the habits are different, and there are many inconveniences.

However, the club's notice arrangement has been issued, and everyone can only accept it.

It was Grealish that the little guy made such a fuss, and the atmosphere was much better.

At just 16 years old, Grealish is the latest talent to be developed in the Aston Villa Academy.

This is evident from the fact that he was promoted to the U19 team at the age of 19, and it was reported that the head coach of the U23 team, Andy Brown. Mr Kafir admires Grealish and is seriously considering promoting him to the Under-23s.

As for Kevin. Li, this tenacious guy, when he first came to the team, he was an amateur player, and he didn't know why the big boss Fang Jue fell in love with this kid and arranged for the team to sign him.

However, what everyone admires is that this big man works very hard, to be precise, the one who works the hardest in the echelon.

Every day the first one comes to the training ground and the last one goes.

The coach of the U19 team, George. Smith also changed his opinion of the big man, and those who work hard are always appreciated and respected.

And in the arrangement Kevin. After Lee tried his hand at various positions from centre-back to striker, the big man's position was fixed in the midfielder position.

Although it cannot be said that it has the ability to gain a foothold in the U19 echelon, the improvement is very obvious.

George. Smith also often sighed, Fang Jue's eyes are really powerful.

In addition, this guy said to Fang Jue that he was nineteen years old, but in fact, he was only seventeen years old when he first met Fang Jue.

This was because he was afraid that Fang Jue would not take him in, and deliberately lied about his age.

This also caused everyone to laugh at it, lying about the age is a small report, this stupid big guy is actually bigger.

The name of the stupid big man spreads far and wide.

However, after more than a year, everyone's impression of Kevin Lee has changed greatly, no one will laugh at it anymore, and the nickname of 'stupid big man' has also changed to 'big man'.

You can work less hard, however, no one will look down on someone who works very hard.

……

Apartments rented by Aston Villa FC for young players.

Zhang Yang was holding a book and reading it hard.

This is a book called "300 Days of Spoken English".

At this time, the door was pushed open.

A small young man with this freckle on his face.

"Hi, hello." Zhang Yang took the initiative to say hello.

"Hi, my name is Jack. Dalglish, what's your name? Did you really come that far from China? What delicious food did you bring with you? I've heard that Chinese food is simply wonderful. Dalglish looked at Zhang Yang curiously, with a hint of excitement in his eyes, and said with a sigh of excitement.

"Ugh!" Zhang Yang was depressed, this guy said such a long paragraph, he couldn't understand it.

However, it doesn't matter if you don't understand, Zhang Yang remembered his father's advice when he came, took the initiative, and had a good relationship with his teammates.

He put down his book, took out his bag, and poured out the contents of the bag.

A table of snacks.

Then, he thought for a moment, picked out a bag of snacks and handed it over, "Taste it, it's delicious." ”

"What is this?" Grealish asked in surprise.

Zhang Yang understood this sentence and said happily, "Spicy strips!" Weilong spicy strips! Delicious! ”

Grealish tore open the package, ate one, and then saw the young man's face red and almost jumped, "Water! Oh hell! Water! ”

In another room, Yang Fan was texting home on his mobile phone.

The door slammed open, and then, when he turned his head, he saw a bald man with a fierce face standing at the door.

Yang Fan was stunned, his first reaction was: robbery? Burglary? Is Birmingham so bad? What to do?
