Chapter 786 Champions League Group Draw (Seeking Subscription Monthly Ticket)
Huaxia, the capital of magic.
'Villa House' bar.
This is the fifth 'Villa House' bar opened by Aston Villa in China.
One is in Hong Kong, two are in Shanghai, one is in Beijing, and one is in Guangzhou.
It has become a base camp for Aston Villa fans to gather here.
A video is playing on a large hanging TV in the bar.
These are all videos produced by Aston Villa's official radio station, and there is a Chinese version exclusively for domestic use.
"In the second round of the Premier League match against Blackburn, Gareth Bale scored this ultra-long free kick 35 meters away from the goal, which was officially judged by the Premier League as the second round match of the Premier League best goal."
In the video, Gareth Bale runs up and shoots. The football draws a beautiful arc, crosses the crossbar of Blackburn goalkeeper Paul, and hits the lower edge of the crossbar into the net.
A backdrop of cheering Aston Villa fans with their hands raised can be seen behind the goal.
"The Premier League has played two rounds. In the first round, Aston Villa beat Fulham 2-1 at home. In the second round, they beat Blackburn 5-1 at home. The two victories accumulated 6 points and scored 7. Conceded two goals and scored five goals, topping the list."
"And after winning Blackburn, Aston Villa also extended their unbeaten games spanning three seasons to 65 games, continuing to create miracles and great records belonging to Villa."
After reviewing Aston Villa's outstanding performance in the Premier League, the interview video of the entire Aston Villa team departing from Birmingham Airport to the Principality of Monaco to prepare for the 2011 UEFA Super Cup was shown on TV.
"Porto is a very tough opponent."
"I know their coach Pereira, he is a winner."
Facing the microphone, Aston Villa's handsome and talented coach talked eloquently.
There was a burst of laughter in the bar. Fang Jue likes to praise the opponent's coach as a winner, which has become a familiar stalk for many Aston Villa fans and Chinese fans.
The reporter also interviewed Aston Villa's Colombian rookie James Rodriguez.
The handsome young man, who has been affectionately called 'Ha Mei' by Aston Villa's Chinese fans, was excited, "I don't think it's revenge, but I'm eager to win and I believe we can reach the podium. "
"It's the winner's podium, and the runner-up is also on the stage." Suarez muttered behind him.
"Ah, yes, it's the champion's podium." Hamei quickly changed her words and added.
The video has Chinese subtitles.
There was another burst of laughter in front of the TV.
...
After arriving in Monaco, Aston Villa quickly checked into the hotel.
The players were urged to rest, and Fang Jue led the coaching staff to a meeting.
The new season of the Premier League has already played two rounds. Although it is still too early to make a conclusion, there are already more or less clues.
"Fang, your judgment is correct, Manchester City is our biggest opponent this season." Ceballos said.
After the two rounds of Premier League matches, there are three teams that have won both games like Aston Villa, namely Manchester United, Manchester City and Wolves.
Wolves are dark horses, but that's about it, the title race has nothing to do with them.
Manchester United defeated West Bromwich Albion 2-1 away in the first round and beat Tottenham Hotspur 3-0 at home in the second round.
For Manchester United, Aston Villa has been vigilant up and down, and there is nothing to say about it. Ferguson's team is a strong contender for the championship every season.
It was Manchester City's outstanding performance that shocked the coaching staff.
In the first round, they beat Swansea 4-0 at home, and in the second round they defeated Bolton 3-2 away.
The team showed strong attacking prowess first, and surprisingly toughness in the second round.
Previously, Fang Jue had always emphasized the threat of Manchester City. Although other members of the coaching staff believed that Manchester City was a threat, they still believed that Fang Jue paid too much attention to this team.
However, now they also realize that they must be vigilant against Manchester City.
"It's actually very simple." Fang Jue saw that the two assistants who didn't care much at first suddenly became a little too serious. This is 'overcorrecting'.
So, he said with a smile, "We try our best to avoid making mistakes, and then in the direct confrontation with Manchester City, we can win both games."
When Ceballos and Werner heard this, they both burst out laughing. This is true, but, even if Fang Jue can say that, he has the qualifications, and it would be arrogance for someone else.
...

On August 25 and the day before the game, UEFA held the draw ceremony for the UEFA Champions League group stage for the 2011/2012 season.

Fang Jue sat in his seat, and he noticed that Enke sitting next to him was a little nervous.
Although Enke retired, he did not leave Villa. He has now joined Fang Jue's coaching staff and is the team's goalkeeper coach. This time he also followed Fang Jue to the scene.
"Best goalkeeper - Roberto Enke, congratulations." The host read out the name of the winner of the best goalkeeper.
When the host read out the name, Robert Tornke clenched his fists tightly, and he let out a long sigh of relief when he heard that it was his own name.
