The international break is over and the players who have returned to the national team are back at the club.

Now the Birmingham team is preparing for the weekend, and this league game at the weekend is very important for the Birmingham team.

The first Birmingham derby of the season is just around the corner of the week.

Yes, Birmingham City will take on Aston Villa at their home stadium at St Andrews Stadium this weekend.

Birmingham and Aston Villa are direct rivals in the same city, and the match between them is known as the Birmingham Derby, which is also known as the "Second City Derby" because Birmingham is the second largest city in the UK. At the same time, because Birmingham City belongs to the West Midlands region, this derby is also called the "West Midlands Derby".

The first meeting between the two teams was on 27 September 1879, when Aston Villa's players ridiculed Birmingham's home stadium for being only suitable for a game of burrowing.

In the subsequent confrontation between the two teams, the fans of both sides have also had many encounters, and every time the Birmingham derby, the scene is very hot, and the fans on both sides are also very excited, as if they are going to the battlefield to fight.

The biggest derby in the history of the two teams was in the 1963 English League Cup final, which had been played by Aston Villa who had just beaten Birmingham City 4-0 in the league but won 3-1 to win the first major domestic cup in the club's history and one of the few in the club's history.

In the previous meetings between Lyon, there have been fierce clashes between fans of both sides, and even the police have used tear gas to quell the clashes between the fans of the two teams.

Of course, the Birmingham derby has also been played in European competitions, and the Birmingham derby is also famous in England.

Now that the Birmingham derby is about to be played again, the Birmingham team naturally takes this game very seriously, McLeish is more serious about this game, and in his mind, this is a game that must be won.

Aston Villa's strength is not weak at all, last season, Aston Villa got the American billionaire Randy Lerner into the ownership, the investment is very large, but their results are also very good, ambiguously achieved the sixth place in the league,

Aston Villa once finished fourth in the league and had hopes of qualifying for the Champions League, but then fell to sixth place in the league due to injuries to the team's main players, a decline in team results, and a strong recovery of Arsenal.

But even so, Aston Villa's strength is very strong, they are also a team participating in the UEFA Cup, very strong, compared to Birmingham, which is very strong.

Moreover, Aston Villa scored nearly 60 goals in the league last season, becoming one of the teams with the highest goals in the Premier League, and their attacking power is very strong, and the Birmingham team may not be able to parry.

And last season, Aston Villa rose in the team with a striker who thought he was very good - Abang Lajo!

Abonlaho was the team's top scorer with eleven goals in the Premier League last season, and Abonlaho is a rising star last season with huge potential and he continues to grow this season.

Now England's giants Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea have all taken a fancy to Agbonlaho and hope to bring in Agbonlahoe, but Aston Villa has the entry of American billionaires, and they are not short of money, so they will naturally not sell the team's hopeful star and future leader.

Although Birmingham City also flocked to a super-striker last season, Dongfang Chen scored 31 goals in the Championship and performed impressively, but that was only in the Championship.

Now Birmingham City and Aston Villa are going to play and this game will be a battle between the two teams to see who is Birmingham's number one striker.

Before the game, a lot of media hyped the match as a matchup between the two teams of superstar strikers, which will be a war between Abang Laho and Dongfang Chen.

Of course, now the outside world's voice is naturally in support of Abang Laho, firstly, Abang Laho is a local player in England, on the other hand, everyone now looks at Dongfang Chen unpleasantly, and they have sarcastically slandered Dongfang Chen, at this time, they are naturally supporting Abang Laho.

When Abang Laho was interviewed by media reporters before the game, he didn't take Dongfang Chen seriously, he said: "Dongfang Chen? Who's that? My target is Alan Shearer! ”

Well, Abang Laho is simply too arrogant, and he doesn't take Dongfang Chen in his eyes at all.

As long as everyone understands it, Abang Laho must have heard of Dongfang Chen's name, not to mention that Dongfang Chen was very good at the beginning of the Premier League, almost all of England is Dongfang Chen's name, has Abang Laho not heard of it?

Let's just say that Dongfang Chen belongs to Birmingham, and Aston Villa, where Abang Laho is located, is in the same city, and it is also a direct competitor, Abang Laho must have heard of Dongfang Chen's name.

Now that this guy is saying this, there is only one purpose, that is, to belittle and despise, or even directly ignore Dongfang Chen, who he thinks is not worthy of being compared at all.

Abang Laho's remarks naturally made the media reporters and those so-called experts feel happy and happy, just to have this kind of momentum, Dongfang Chen has no strength at all, that's it.

This sentence quickly reached the ears of Dongfang Chen, and reached the ears of the Birmingham players, who were very angry, this Abang Laho was simply arrogant, and he was so arrogant that he couldn't find the north after only scoring eleven goals in a season, it was just rubbish.

Birmingham Sébastian Larsson immediately stepped up to his friend's aid, saying: "Arrogant, what is my target for Alan Shearer? This is simply the biggest insult to Alan Shearer, you don't deserve to lift shoes for Alan Shearer, I really don't know where he got his confidence? Arrogant! ”

Sebastian Larsson also said: "Don't talk about Alan Shearer, just talk about East, and Abang Lajo can't beat it either. I said, you young man should play well, talk less and do more, you are at that level. ”

Kevin Phillips, who is considered a senior, also stood up to speak for Dongfang Chen and said: "To tell the truth, in my eyes, East is much stronger than Abang Laho, really, the two are not comparable at all, and Abang Laho is not a long distance away from East." ”

Birmingham head coach McLeish also said: "East's strength is very strong, I don't think the outside world's statement is correct, who said that Dongfang Chen is still thoroughly studied?" Are you Tamar blind? Easter's performance in the game is there for all to see, he is an integral part of us in Birmingham and I am sure this game will shut the filthy mouth of a lot of people. ”

McLeish has already turned on the squirting mode, after these words come out, he will definitely be attacked very fiercely, and even attract Dongfang Chen's eyes to him, MacLeish just wants to use this means to reduce the pressure on Dongfang Chen.

Dongfang Chen also expressed his opinion: "Abang Laho? It's useless to say a qiē, I'll let him know what a real striker is during the game. ”

As soon as the Birminghames' statement came out, it naturally attracted a lot of doubts and criticism, especially those so-called experts and celebrities, who immediately put on a shrewd posture and scolded the Birmingham team.

Aston Villa, on the other hand, were furious after hearing what the Birmingham side had to say.

Aston Villa's striker Abang Lajo said: "Hmph, what a bunch of frogs in the well who have never spoken to the world, and in this game, I will use my strength to teach the Birminghames a hard lesson, let them know how good we are, let them know how ignorant they really are." ”

Aston Villa's striker Carew also stood up and said: "Abonlahor is a player with a lot of potential and strength, his future is definitely higher than me, and he may not be able to reach the heights of Alan Shearer, at this time, I don't think Abonlaho is talking big, on the contrary, Birmingham people are really idiots, a group of players who have just come from the Championship, I really don't know where they got so much confidence?" What a bunch of frogs at the bottom of the well. ”

Aston Villa manager Martin O'Neill also spoke to media reporters: "The Birmingham team was very happy before the game, and they will be even happier in the game, because we will not show mercy, I have knowledge and research on the Birmingham team, they may have a certain strength, but that is only relative to the relegation circle." ”

Martin O'Neill said: "Birmingham are an ant against our compromise League Cup-calib, quasi-Champions League team, we can solve them at any time, Birmingham City is not a problem for us at all. ”

Martin O'Neill also said about Dongfang Chen's problem: "In my opinion, both of them have a certain amount of strength, but it is clear that Abang Laho has more potential and stronger strength, Abang Lajo has already proven himself in the Premier League, and what about Dongfang Chen? No! ”

Martin O'Neill also swore that "you can go and see Dongfang Chen's table when he played in the Premier League for Manchester United, do you really think he can adapt to the Premier League?" Could he really have any surprises? In my opinion, he can't be compared to Abonlaho at all, he is just a Championship level striker. ”

Martin O'Neal's words drew criticism from all Birmingham fans, and Martin O'Neill became the least popular among Birmingham fans, and the Birmingham fans frantically attacked Martin O'Neill and cursed Martin O'Neal.

After Dongfang Chen heard Martin O'Neill's words, Dongfang Chen said in front of reporters: "Hehe! I really don't know where Mr. Martin O'Neill comes from? Does he think that he is God, and that whoever he says will be what he is? ”

Dongfang Chen said: "In this world, there are always some people who look up to themselves too much, thinking that he is the smartest and most powerful person in the world, what he says is what?" What he said and what he did was right, as if the world had left him and would not turn away. ”

Dongfang Chen said: "I won't say anything more, one qiē, one qiē, we will find the answer in this game!" ”

Before the game, the two sides had a fierce war of words, and there were a lot of highlights for this game, and now a lot of people are paying attention to this Birmingham derby.
