Europa League. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After thinking about it, Wang Shuai still sent the whole main team to fight, if he didn't do this, even if the players in the team didn't say anything, the rest of the club and the fans of Villa could scold him to death.

And in the state of Villa's full effort, the three teams in the Europa League semi-finals really can't make any waves.

Although these teams are among the best in their respective leagues, the Eredivisie, Ligue 1 and Serie A, even if the latter two are still two of the five major leagues, but in fact, these three leagues are ranked in the second tier in the system's ranking, that is, the same level as the Championship. Although the strength is definitely higher than the Championship, it is certainly not as good as the Premier League.

And these three semi-final teams, if placed in the Premier League, will be enough to reach the range of the Europa League qualification zone, that is, the sixth or seventh place. Last season's sixth and seventh places were Everton and Manchester United, respectively, and now Tottenham Hotspur and Leicester City.

These four Premier League teams, except for Tottenham, the other teams are not Villa's opponents, so the result of the Europa League semi-final can be imagined.

After two legs, Villa advanced to the final with an aggregate score of 5:1.

……

The ease of the Europa League has been exchanged for the grim situation of the league.

The day after the second leg of the semi-finals is the 35th round of the Premier League, which is the match between Villa and Chelsea.

Wang Shuai, who has been studying the schedule recently, has certainly noticed this, so after sweeping his opponent 3-0 in the first leg, he still only allowed the main team to play half time in the second leg.

In addition, the second leg is Villa's own home stadium, so Villa's main form is not as bad as imagined, even if this game is against Chelsea, Villa still have the strength to fight.

Chelsea, on the other hand, are not as good as Villa.

As the only remaining Premier League team in the Champions League, the Blues will naturally have to give it their all, and in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, they beat Juventus 1-0 at home.

Although they are both at home, Chelsea's situation is far from that of Villaby. One is the Champions League and the other is the Europa League, and the intensity of the game is naturally a little worse. In addition, this is the first leg of Chelsea's game, and it is impossible to start "releasing water" after determining the lead of the big score like Wang Shuai. So Chelsea's home stadium is no different from the away stadium.

So the next day at Villa Park, Wang Shuai looked at the tired opponent and his heart was simply happy.

……

In fact, even if Chelsea does not have the interference of the Champions League, Wang Shuai does not have much fear of this opponent.

If Liverpool and Arsenal are the two best teams in attack in the Premier League, then the two best defensive teams are Chelsea and Manchester United.

It's just that the two teams are also different now, Manchester United have been integrated into Joseph's attacking elements, but Chelsea have been eating Joseph's old roots in recent years and have not made any changes, although the Blues' defence is indeed impregnable, but compared to their defence, the Blues' attack is simply unsightly.

Therefore, when Wang Shuai played against Manchester United before, he had to distract himself from defense, which caused the team's attack to be not smooth. But against Chelsea, Villa's defence clearly doesn't have so many worries and can go on the attack. And in such a competitive situation, Villa is already invincible.

What's more, Chelsea in this game is still a sick and wilting Blue Lion.

2:0, the score gap is not big, but it is enough to be considered an easy victory.

……

Winning this most crucial game, the stone in Wang Shuai's heart finally fell to the ground, as long as he didn't make mistakes, Villa could be said to be only one step away from the championship.

Just three hours after the end of the game, there was good news from the other two playing fields.

One is Manchester, the derby between Manchester City and Manchester United, which ended 1-1, and after this draw, the gap between Manchester City and the top of the table reached 8 points, and with only three rounds of the league remaining, it can be said that the blue moon has no hope of winning the title.

The other is Leicester City, a team that has been dormant for many years, and after rising again this year, they are looking forward to the European qualification places, and have maintained an unbeaten record in recent games against strong teams, and that run continued today, when they drew 1-1 away to Liverpool.

Wang Shuai really didn't expect that he would have to wait until the 37th round of the league after Liverpool played Manchester City to open up the gap with the Reds, but he didn't expect Leicester City to help him a lot two rounds in advance.

2 points ahead of Liverpool and 8 points ahead of Manchester City, and now there are only three rounds left in the league, Villa's consistent form of play is surprisingly stable, and it can be said that this year's Premier League title has been taken into Villa's arms.

……

Villa have already won the title early.

This is not only Wang Shuai's thoughts, but also most of the mainstream media in England.

Just look at Villa's record, in the face of a team that is not as strong as itself, Villa has remained unbeaten so far, and the winning rate has remained above 90%.

And just when everyone was happily talking about the ownership of this year's championship, something happened suddenly.

This season's League Cup winner is Liverpool, who have basically locked up second place in the league. Although the FA Cup final has not yet been played, the two rival teams of Villa and Chelsea have also locked up the top five positions in the league. This means that this season's European qualification zone will be extended to seventh place in the league. This also means that the competition for European qualification will intensify this year.

Leicester City drew away to Liverpool in search of European qualification. And what about Southampton, the other team? They beat Aston Villa 3-2 at home.

……

'The Villa players played well, the tactics were well executed, but the opponents played better than us, congratulations to them.'

At the press conference after the game, the iron-faced Wang Shuai said a few words before getting up and leaving the table.

The game was too speechless.

As he said, there was really nothing wrong with his side playing, but he was helpless to ......

Let's put it this way, Wang Shuai looked at the state of the players opposite at halftime, and the average mental attribute was still around 90, you must know that this is already the mental attribute after halftime, this desire to win...... Simply so!
