Chapter 578: The Battle of Tianwang Mountain (Ask for a Monthly Pass Subscription)

Fang Jue writes and draws in his notebook.

When thinking about problems, he likes to write them down.

To realise the plan of 'curve detour' to poach Tottenham Hotspur from Tottenham.

The most important thing is to find a suitable little brother.

It's like Manchester United asked their younger brother Everton to come forward and want to shake off Villa's Abang Laho.

Fang Jue summed it up.

This suitable little brother needs the following characteristics.

First of all, you have to have money, at least the finances are okay:

Tottenham spent £4 million when they bought Kyle Walker last year; So, now for Tottenham Hotspur to release them happily, five or six million pounds is at least.

Willing to pay five or six million pounds for a young defender who is 19 years old and has no Premier League experience, it must be a lot of money.

For example, if Aston Villa had asked Leeds United to work together, it wouldn't have worked because Leeds United were poor.

Then, and most importantly, this little brother must be basically reliable, in case the little brother sees the lust and cuts off Kyle Walker's beard and includes himself in the room, Fang Jue has no place to cry.

It is not so easy to find such a collaborator.

So, this matter cannot be rushed.

To Fang Jue's relief, Kyle Walker has yet to get a single minute of playing time at Tottenham Hotspur so far.

This not only shows that Tottenham Hotspur values their players in general, but also avoids the coveting of other teams by young people's performances.

……

On March 20, in the 31st round of the English Premier League, Aston Villa hosted Wolves.

Wolves scored first in the first half, but Petrov set up Abonlahor to equalise.

In the second half, David Beckham came off the bench.

His corner lobled into the box and found the head of Ruud van Nistelrooy, before the Dutchman struck a beautiful lion header into the net.

Aston Villa beat Wolves 2-1 at home.

This match was also the first to kick off in the 31st round of the league.

Aston Villa took the first three points and could sit on the Diaoyutai and watch the rest of their rivals play.

Later in the game, Manchester United won 2-1 against Liverpool in a high-profile match and the famous 'Double Red Club', and also got the three points as they wished.

Three teams contending for the title, two of them winning first, now it's up to Chelsea.

……

The following afternoon, the Aston Villa squad watched the Chelsea and Blackburn games at the training base.

'John Terry was out of shape today. Ceballos said to Fang Jue.

Fang Jue nodded.

He said in his heart that it was strange if he could play well.

A month ago, there was a shocking news in English football.

"The Sun" was the first to expose the shocking news, saying that England's current captain John Terry was cheating with his French model girlfriend Vanessa, a national team teammate and former club teammate Brits.

The News of the World, a subsidiary of The Sun, later traced the inside information, saying that Terry had impregnated Vanessa and secretly had an artificial abortion.

The newspaper said that a few weeks after Terry and Vanessa had an affair, the latter became pregnant, and in order to cover up the truth, Terry paid for Vanessa's surgery and gave her 20,000 pounds.

As soon as this incident broke out, it caused an uproar.

Bridge is a former club team-mate of John Terry, a current team-mate of the country, and the two are said to be good friends.

Therefore, the media called this incident 'Friends and Wife's.

Just half a month ago, Manchester City visited Chelsea's Stamford Bridge stadium, a match that thrilled fans and melon eaters around the world.

Especially when the players of the two teams entered the stadium, the camera immediately followed Terry and Bridge, but neither of them had any expressions on their faces.

As the home team, Chelsea's starters lined up to wait for the visiting team to shake hands.

When Bridge walked up to Terry, the leader of the Chelsea team, in the face of Terry's outstretched hand, Bridge glanced at Terry, and walked straight over to shake hands with Hilario without shaking hands, Terry's face was full of embarrassment.

The 41,814 Stamford Bridge fans who saw the scene on the big screen TV instantly booed.

As soon as the game began, every time Bridge dribbled with the ball, the boos at Stamford Bridge immediately erupted.

As a victim of Friends' Wife, as a meritorious player who has played for Chelsea for five and a half years and has made great achievements, objectively speaking, the boos are very unfair to Bridge.

But Stamford Bridge is John Terry's turf and avid Chelsea fans seem to have forgotten that Bridge was once a Chelsea player, only remembering that John Terry is the current captain of Chelsea and has a duty to support the home side.

However, Manchester City's team-mates desperately supported Bridge, and the Blues worked hard to beat Chelsea 4-2 at Stamford Bridge, and after the game, the City players publicly stated that they were fighting for Bridge.

And in that game, Chelsea captain John Terry was very bad.

Since then, fans of Chelsea's rival teams have also found a 'way' to deal with Chelsea.

Take the match between Blackburn Rovers and Chelsea that they watched, in the stands of Blackburn's home stadium, Blackburn fans held up a large portrait of Bridge, which read: You hurt your good brother!

There were a few other banners, all of which were directed at Terry.

Not only that, but also in this game, the victim of the "Friends Wife" incident, England left-back Wayne. Bridge has announced his retirement from the England team.

The immediate impact of this incident is that the head coach of the England national team, Fabio Capello, is also very angry, and he even announced that he has permanently closed the door of the England captaincy for him.

Capello said that as long as he is still in his term, Terry will not want to be England's captain again.

This is undoubtedly a big blow for Terry.

This gave Blackburn Rovers fans a reason to attack Terry.

In today's game, as long as Terry has the ball, the Blackburn fans will chant Bridge or the woman's name to stimulate Terry.

So, in today's game, the Chelsea captain was a little bit bad.

Chelsea, on the other hand, were held to a 1-1 draw away from Blackburn.

When the referee blew the whistle for the whole game, the Aston Villa players, including James Milner, Deisler and Agbonlahus, raised their arms in celebration.

Chelsea were held to a draw.

Aston Villa will once again overtake Chelsea on points and become Premier League leaders once again.

……

The next day, the front page of The Times was headlined: Chelsea vs Aston Villa – Battle of the Kings!

Yes, the focus of the media coverage was not Chelsea's draw with Blackburn, but the focus was directly on the next league fixture:

Aston Villa travel to Stamford Bridge to take on Chelsea.

Now, after 31 rounds of league matches, the Premier League standings are:

Aston Villa are first with 69 points;

Chelsea are second with 68 points;

Manchester United also has 68 points and is in third place;

Arsenal are fourth with 63 points.

Although Arsenal climbed up quietly, in the eyes of the media, Arsenal's excellent performance in this period was not enough to rekindle their hopes of winning the title, at best, it made Arsenal's fourth place more secure.

In the eyes of the media, Aston Villa, Chelsea, Manchester United, and the Premier League title are between these three teams.

With only seven league games remaining, a clash like Aston Villa and Chelsea meeting directly is clearly worth a fortune.

In fact, Chelsea, who are one point behind Aston Villa, cannot afford to lose this game.

In the words of The Guardian, a Chelsea defeat would leave the Blues four points behind Aston Villa in a very critical title situation.

And if Aston Villa loses, Aston Villa will be two points behind Chelsea, which is not so bad.

What if Chelsea and Aston Villa draw together?

The Manchester Evening News has the answer: this is the one outcome that United are most looking forward to.
