Chapter 648 Premier League New BIG4

Aston Villa won 3-1 at home to Chelsea.

The win took Aston Villa to 20 points, two points ahead of Chelsea and at the top of the Premier League.

Chelsea are second with 18 points.

The game is over, however, the story around this game does not end.

Soon, the journalists received a message that excited them.

At the door of the corridor in the players' dressing room, Aston Villa players and Chelsea players clashed.

A Chelsea player 'attacked' an Aston Villa player, which caused further clashes between the two sides.

To the reporter's regret, the coaching staff of both sides were relatively calm, and under the restraint of Fang Jue and Ancelotti, the conflict quickly subsided and did not cause any major chaos.

"Nothing." Fang Jue shook his head, "Absolutely not, your news is wrong." ”

At the press conference, Fang Jue flatly denied that there had been a clash between the players of the two sides in the dressing room corridor.

Fang Jue didn't admit it, and the reporter turned his head to ask Ancelotti.

"Everything is fine, nothing unpleasant happens." Ancelotti said.

Fang Jue was gentle and calm, he was not worried.

He and Ancelotti had already discussed it just now, and this skirmish should be digested internally, so as not to make trouble.

It was a big fuss, which attracted the intervention of the FA, and it was the two teams that were unlucky.

It's not a big deal, it's Terry confronting Costa, and during the verbal altercation between the two sides, Costa scolds Terry, and Lampard comes up and pushes Costa, an action that causes a gathering of players on both sides.

However, the matter is not small, and if it is noticed by the English FA, there will be a number of players on both sides who will be subject to additional penalties.

Of course, although this matter will be digested internally, the beams of the two teams can be regarded as knotted.

In this round of the league, there was a big upset:

Manchester United were held to a 2-2 draw at home by West Bromwich Albion and picked up just one point.

In this case, Manchester City, who beat Blackpool 3-2 away in this round, are three points ahead of Manchester United with 17 points and remain in third place in the league, which is also the best result for Manchester City in recent years after a fifth of the schedule.

"Villa has become a new force in the Premier League! 》

After the match between Aston Villa and Chelsea, the French newspaper Les Les Liga published an article in a key section.

French Football veteran critic Jean. In his column, Fernanz makes a point:

Aston Villa are already eligible to be named a new force in the Premier League.

The new forces in the Premier League he refers to do not mean the so-called traditional teams and traditional powerhouses of the Premier League, nor does it mean that there will be championship competition in a certain period of time.

A title contender for a specific period of time is often a 'flash in the pan' label, or a dark horse.

Let. In Fernandes' article, Aston Villa is clearly listed alongside Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal.

He came up with the concept of a new BIG4 for the Premier League.

With Liverpool in very bad shape this season, the Frenchman has knocked Liverpool out of the traditional BIG4.

Then pull Aston Villa into the circle and give it the concept of the new BIG4.

Liverpool fans certainly don't approve of this new division of the French, our Premier League thing, you a Frenchman to blind comparison?

Of course, Aston Villa fans are happy, "France Football" is not a toilet paper, it is quite authoritative in the sports media, it can be recognized by "France Football", and even put Liverpool on the head, which makes people happy.

Although within the Premier League, many people do not agree with the new BIG4 statement.

However, the rise of Aston Villa is enough to attract the attention of all Premier League teams.

Ahead of the season, some thought it was, or rather their expectation that Aston Villa's success last season would be short-lived.

The Guardian also singled out Blackburn, suggesting that Aston Villa could be a second Blackburn.

In the eyes of the Guardian, Blackburn Rovers and Aston Villa are really alike.

Compared to the big cities of London, Manchester and Liverpool, Blackburn, which has a population of just over 100,000 in Lancashire, is nothing to the fore.

Despite its limited size, the city's enthusiasm for football has not been hindered in any way.

Founded in 1875, Blackburn Rovers won two league titles and six FA Cups before the Premier League was founded.

This is also the same as Aston Villa, which belongs to the ancestors.

Despite its impressive results, the club is as unpretentious as Blackburn, an industrial town dominated by cotton textiles, as reflected in the club's motto of 'Technology and Diligence'.

However, Blackburn's unpretentiousness was changed by the arrival of one man.

Jack?? Walker, a billionaire who made his fortune in the steel trade, was the envy of many big clubs at the time for his initial £30 million investment in Blackburn.

Soon a number of famous players came to Blackburn, and Liverpool coach Dalglish also came to coach.

In Jack?? With the backing of Walker's huge sums of money, the century-old club has had a fantastic time.

In this regard, Aston Villa and Blackburn Rovers are similar, Fang Jue and his wife have invested heavily in Aston Villa.

The only difference is that although Aston Villa spends a lot of money in the transfer market, they sell people more ruthlessly.

Among the new batch of excellent players introduced by Blackburn Rovers that year, two people have to be mentioned. One is Alain, who joined at a sky-high price of 3.6 million pounds?? Shearer.

The other is another striker Sutton, who joined for a £5 million transfer fee.

The forward line of these two players is a strike strike that strikes fear into the hearts of all teams.

Under Dalglish's leadership, Blackburn, who already had the highest salary in the Premier League, went all the way up, and Liverpool and Manchester United fell to win the Premier League title in 1994/1995.

This Premier League title, which made Blake himself proud, also made Jack?? Walker was satisfied, and after winning the championship he famously said, "This championship has people found Blackburn on the map." ”

However, after winning the championship, the old coach Dalglish left, and after the 1996 European Championship, the striker Alan ?? Shearer has also left to join hometown side Newcastle.

After losing a staple player in succession, Blackburn struggled to recover and were relegated from the Premier League in 1998/1999.

Therefore, the Guardian uses Blackburn Rovers as a reference, believing that Aston Villa's results will decline in the new season, which may have an impact on the league title situation, but it is impossible to continue last season's glory and continue to compete for the league title, or even successfully defend the title.

Now, Aston Villa are once again top of the table after eight games in the league this season, and they did so after beating Chelsea in direct conversations, which is even more convincing.

The new BIG4 of the Premier League, although it may make many people unhappy, but it has to be admitted that Aston Villa has this qualification.
