Next up is the 44th round of the league, the penultimate round of the Championship this season, and the race for the league title is now at its tightest moment.
In this round, Wolves play Queens Park Rangers at home, while Birmingham City travel to Watford.
Yes, Birmingham will be away to Watford.
The grievances between Dongfang Chen and the Watford team are known to everyone, Dongfang Chen almost joined the Watford team at the beginning, and finally the Watford team gave up Dongfang Chen after the contract had been negotiated.
The new coach of the Watford team, Rodgers, spoke ill of Dongfang Chen, making the contradictions between them even deeper.
In the first leg of the match between the two sides, the feud between the two sides intensified again. Dongfang Chen scored a hat-trick in that match, smashing Rodgers' face swollen. However, in that game, Dongfang Chen also suffered a black foot, left the field with an injury, and said goodbye to the court for three months.
The two sides can be said to add new hatred to the old hatred, this game can be called Dongfang Chen's revenge battle.
However, this game can also be called Watford's revenge, because in the first leg between the two sides, Watford lost to Birmingham, and was beaten by Dongfang Chen, which was a big shame.
It was precisely because of Dongfang Chen's super watch in the game that Watford's manager Rodgers caused dissatisfaction among fans and the club's senior management and led Mr. Rodgers to step down. So, from that point of view, it's also a revenge battle for Watford.
This game has attracted a lot of attention, and this game is full of highlights.
However, before the game, Watford's trusted manager Andy Sofollett told the media: "This game is just a normal game for me, this game doesn't mean anything, we just hope we can win this game now, that's all." ”
Yes, Watford's new head coach Andy Sofollet doesn't want this game to be given a special meaning, he wants it to be just a normal game.
However, it is clear that Watford players and fans do not agree with him.
It must have been a special match for Watford's players and supporters, with the Watford players looking to wash away the humiliation of the first leg with a win, and Watford's ball mills finding an opportunity to sarcastically mock Watford's hierarchy.
Since Dongfang Chen became popular in the Championship, the top management of the Watford team has become the target of Watford fans, and they are bombarding the top management of the Watford team almost every day.
Now that there's finally another chance to bombard Watford's hierarchy, Watford fans are excited.
Before this game, the media reporters went to the Birmingham team's training base, they wanted to interview Dongfangchen, they wanted to see what Dongfang Chen thought about Watford?
In the eyes of media reporters, Dongfang Chen should be resentful of Watford, it is this damn team that made him Dongfang Chen injured and bid farewell to the stadium for more than three months, if it weren't for this damn team, he Dongfang Chen would have a better future after all.
However, Dongfang Chen did not accept any media interviews before the game, which made the media reporters very annoyed, so the news and rumors of Dongfang Chen throwing off the big name began to circulate in the newspapers of the outside media.
Dongfang Chen still ignored these undisciplined reporters and was seriously preparing for this game.
Speaking ahead of the game, Birmingham head coach McLeish said: "It's just a normal game, it doesn't have any special meaning. For this race, of course, we want to win because we are desperate for the title. ”
For Dongfang Chen's non-interview and non-cooperation, and Birmingham head coach McLeish's avoidance, the media reporters are very annoyed and angry. But they have no good way to do it, so they can only accept it helplessly.
On 18 April 2009, Birmingham City played Watford away from home.
In this game, Dongfang Chen finally returned to the starting line of the Birmingham team, which made the media reporters on the scene excited, as if it was a reincarnation. At the beginning, Dongfang Chen was injured in the game with Watford and left the field, and said goodbye to the field for three months, and now it is in the game against Watford, Dongfang Chen returned to the starting line of the Birmingham team, which is really magical.
The Watford players were holding their back for the game, and they were looking to prove themselves by beating Birmingham City in the game.
Watford's hierarchy are also desperate for a win that looks to change the impression they have in the minds of Watford fans.
Watford started the game with ferocious attacks and they needed a win in this game.
However, at the beginning of the game, Watford's pass was cut off by the Birmingham team, and after the ball was broken, Sebastian Larsson played a long ball with his feet.
The football flew to the front of Watford, Dongfang Chen jumped high, directly shook the head of a lion, and threw the football to Kevin Phillips, who was in front.
Kevin Phillips received the ball and sprinted into the Watford penalty area, where he was met by goalkeeper Rezzy and Kevin Phillips fired a shot into the far corner.
Just three minutes into the game, Birmingham City scored Kevin Phillips, his 14th goal of the season, and Dongfang Chen provided the assist.
Although this goal was not scored by Dongfang Chen, Dongfang Chen's assist was very beautiful, and the fans of the Watford team on the scene saw that Dongfang Chen had a wonderful appearance, and they immediately began to sarcastically mock the senior management of the Watford team.
The chairman of Watford at the scene looked very unsightly.
Watford's players were furious and immediately launched a ferocious attack to threaten the Birmingham goal.
In the 10th minute of the first half, Watford's attack did threaten the Birmingham goal, and the Watford full-back crossed from the wing, and the Polish tower Lasiak, who followed up in the middle, jumped high to head the goal, almost breaking the Birmingham goal.
It was a challenge that pleased Watford's chairman, who hoped his players would rise up and play with momentum to equalise and then take the lead.
However, in the 19th minute of the first half, Birmingham attacked again, this time again from Sebastian Larsson.
Sebastian Larsson made a long pass down the flank and found Kevin Phillips on the other side.
Kevin Phillips stopped the ball and immediately knocked the ball across the middle of the pitch and himself swooped into the Watford box.
Dongfang Chen in the middle did not stop the ball, and directly knocked the football sideways into the Watford penalty area.
The ball rolled right into the line where Kevin Phillips cut in front, and Kevin Phillips caught up with the ball and fired into the far corner again in the face of the onrushing goalkeeper Rhezzie.
Kevin Phillips scored two goals in this game, and Dongfang Chen also assisted two goals!
In this game, the Watford team put the main defensive attention on Dongfang Chen, and they didn't want Dongfang Chen to score again, in the limelight.
As a result, they ignored the defense of the attacking group around Dongfang Chen, which gave Kevin Phillips and Jemuro so many opportunities. Jemmro was a little less lucky today, otherwise he would have at least scored a goal.
The successive goals conceded made the Watford fans very annoyed and angry, and they immediately ridiculed the Watford team's top brass even more brazenly on the pitch, which made the Watford chairman look very ugly.
The Watford disaster isn't over yet, it's just the beginning.
In the thirtieth minute of the first half, Birmingham scored their third goal, which was also Dongfangchen's first goal of the game, Dongfangchen's long-range shot from the edge of the penalty area blasted away Watford's goal.
Five minutes later, Dongfang Chen received a corner cross from Sebastian Larsson in the penalty area, his header was rubbed back, and Stephen Kyle at the back point scored with a header, 4-0, and Dongfang Chen completed a hat trick of assists.
In the 10th minute of the second half, Birmingham won a direct free kick in front, and Sebastian Larsson curled a ball through the Watford goal, 5-0.
Another five minutes later, Dongfang Chen received a cross from Jemuro in the penalty area, and directly fell to the ground to tackle the shot, sending the football into the Watford team's goal, 6-0.
After scoring this goal, McLeish immediately replaced Dongfang Chen, he was afraid that Dongfang Chen would have another accident if he stayed on the field.
In the final game, the Birmingham team defeated Watford 6-0 away with Dongfangchen's goal and a hat trick of assists, and got three points.
In this game, the Birmingham team won really well. The Watford team is very sad, the Watford fans have hated them to death, they left the field early, they can't stay for a moment, it's really terrible to watch this game.
Birmingham beat Watford by six goals, and Dongfang Chen can be regarded as revenge.
