Chapter 949: The Invincible Future Returns to the Throne

"We arranged for Kevin to play a lot of positions, and finally determined the position of the midfielder. His steals are very accurate and very good. The only problem is that the movements are relatively large, and the timing of the attack is sometimes rash." Aston Villa U19 youth team coach George Smith said.

"However, it is indeed a good seedling. What is lacking now is experience."

Fang Jue nodded.

Afterwards, he asked Coach Smith to gather the youth team together, and praised and encouraged the performance of the boys.

"The youth echelon is the foundation and future of a team, and I have been following you all the time."

"I hope to see more and more of Villa's own people grow up and enter the first team. You will have a share of the honors and trophies of the future team."

The young people who had been beaten up by the big boss were very excited.

"Did you hear that, the boss said that he is looking forward to our future." Grealish poked Zhang Yang.

Fang Jue was too busy and didn't have time to watch the U16 team's game, so he just asked the head coach of the U16 team to report on his work.

He asked about Wilfred Endidi's performance, and he was relieved to learn that the little guy was doing well.

As expected, my own vision of seeing people has always been so good.

...

A few days later, the league battle resumed.

Aston Villa beat Fulham 2-1 away in the eighth round of the Premier League.

In order to prepare for the match against Schalke 04 in the middle of next week, Fang Jue made a proper rotation in the match.

Fulham is playing at home, the momentum is very fierce, and the first goal.

Aston Villa reversed away to win with goals from Kagawa Shinji and substitute Inzaghi.

After the game, Inzaghi, who came off the bench, was named the best player in the game.

Even the harsh English media praised him as a 39-year-old veteran. This is only Inzaghi's third appearance in the Premier League, and all of them came off the bench, but he was able to stand up at critical moments, which is very good.

Fulham's former Liverpool veteran Riise also sighed when he mentioned Inzaghi after the game: Looking at his running positions and goals, you can hardly imagine that Pipo is 39 years old.

Four days later, Aston Villa hosted Schalke 04 in the third round of the Champions League group stage.

In the previous two group matches, Schalke 04 played 2-1 away at Olympiacos and drew Montpellier 2-2 at home.

With one win, one draw and four points, Schalke 04 has good morale. The team dreams of getting points from Aston Villa in the away game.

They have no delusion to grab Aston Villa's first place in the group, but being able to score points on Aston Villa will greatly help them compete for second place in the group.

However, the game had just started, but they were hit in the head.

Aston Villa, who rotated some of their main players in the last round of the league, played their best in this game and showed a strong desire to win at the beginning.

And in the 21st minute of the first half, Modric broke through the goal guarded by Unnerstall with a long shot.

Five minutes later, Aston Villa played a beautiful ground coordination, Ibrahimovic assisted De Bruyne and scored another goal, 2-0.

Even before the end of the first half, Schalke 04 scored a goal with a header from Huntelaar.

However, not long after the start of the second half, Hamei's shot forced the opponent's defender to clear the siege, causing chaos in front of the goal. Lewandowski made a successful shovel shot in the chaos and rewritten the score to 3-1.

Later, Fang Jue dispatched troops and generals.

Vardy, who came off the bench, assisted Ha Mei to score a goal.

Schalke 04 had Afeilai pull one back.

In the end, Aston Villa defeated Schalke 04 4-2 at home, and took the lead with all three victories in the group stage.

After the game, Fang Jue received good news. In another game, Olympiacos, who had been ranked bottom before, defeated Montpellier 2-1 away.

In this case, in this group:

Aston Villa lead with 9 points.

Schalke 04 ranked second with 4 points.

Olympiacos is third with 3 points.

The defending champion of Ligue 1, Montpellier, has 1 point and is at the bottom of the list. This really surprised some people.

The remaining three teams have wins and losses against each other, which is good news for Aston Villa, who leads the way.

This points ranking situation means that Aston Villa will be able to qualify for the group stage two rounds ahead of schedule after their next away win over Schalke 04.

Even, regardless of the possibility of being caught up in theory, they can almost secure the first place in the group two rounds ahead of schedule.

For the current Aston Villa, it is basically not a problem to qualify for the Champions League group, or even to be the top of the group.

What Fang Jue hopes is that the team can establish the right to qualify early and secure the top spot in the group, so that Aston Villa can deal with it with a more relaxed attitude in the next one or two rounds.

In this way, we can also focus on the league, try our best to grab points in the league before the Christmas devil's schedule, and establish as many leading advantages in the league as possible.

...

October 27th, the ninth round of the Premier League.

Aston Villa host Norwich.

Thirty-one minutes into the first half, after receiving a pass from Ibrahimovic, De Bruyne made an inside shot and helped the team take the lead!

It was also the only goal of the game.

Aston Villa, who fought on multiple fronts, was a little tired, but the whole team still controlled the rhythm of the game from beginning to end, and did not give Norwich, who was a guest, any chance.

There is a focus battle in this round of the league, Chelsea will face Manchester United at home.

In the end, Manchester United defeated Chelsea 3-2 in an away game with Rooney and Van Persie's goals and Cahill's own goal, giving the opponent their first defeat of the season.

Manchester United won Chelsea and indirectly helped Aston Villa.

After this round, Aston Villa climbed to the top of the list with 23 points. This is the first time since the end of the league last season, Aston Villa finally returned to their most familiar top position after nine rounds of the league.

"Thanks to Manchester United, the invincible Aston Villa returned to his throne!" - this is the headline of the "Birmingham Evening News".

...

The next day, Fang Jue called Sir Alex Ferguson to thank Manchester United for their help in bringing Aston Villa back to the top of the list.

However, the old Scottish man didn't appreciate Fang Jue's thanks and told him to get out and not bother him with calls.

"This bastard is here to show off." Ferguson hung up the phone angrily, and said to his assistant McPhelan.

"This is... psychological warfare?" Ferran thought for a while and said.

"Huh?" Ferguson was stunned for a moment. He just thought that a certain guy was cheap and always came to tease and stimulate him. As a reminder, the old jazz, who has always been good at psychological warfare, has also become vigilant.

This... seems... really possible.
