After playing against Arsenal, Aston Villa's entire team did not return to Birmingham.

The next day, the team departed from London Heathrow Airport and flew directly to Barcelona by flight, arriving away three days in advance to prepare for the focus match against Barcelona.

This is Fang Jue leaving Spain and heading for England, and then leading the team to play in Spain again after three years.

When he led the magical Ibiza to the Camp Nou, he won 1-0. That game was considered a key battle for Ibiza to win the La Liga championship.

Before that game, Ibiza led Barcelona by eight points. If he lost this game, the score difference would be narrowed to five points. This would be very fierce when there were ten rounds of games left in the league.

In the end, Ibiza won the game and led Barcelona 11 points with ten rounds left in La Liga, laying the foundation for this great championship season!

In that game, Desler scored for Ibiza.

The one who gave Deisler an assist was Fang Jue's favorite disciple Lewandowski.

Now, in Aston Villa, Clement, Modric, Mane and Gleno are in the Ibiza team, and several people are still talking about that game on the plane.

...

When the media looks forward to the game between Aston Villa and Barcelona, ​​they are relatively optimistic about the home team Barcelona.

It is further expanded to the point where it is optimistic about which team can eventually advance to the semi-finals, and most of them are optimistic about Barcelona.

Their reason is that compared with last season, the strength of this Aston Villa is declining.

Especially on the defense line, Aston Villa's strength has dropped too much...

Aston Villa's central defender position last season, Sendros, Davis, Senegal, and Queliare can also play central defender.

Now, the Senegalese left the team, Davis left the team, and Quelial also transferred back to the Spanish arena.

Aston Villa team Nathan Deros is recovering from injury, and the young young player Clark is also injured, only Papastasopoulos is a qualified central defender. However, there is a gap between the Greeks and Davis and the Senegalese.

Moreover, this is just a central defender position and another central defender position. If Fang Jue does not use the players from other positions to play a cameo, the only one he can use is the youth training young player Nathan Baker.

The media even used a "breaking" defense line to describe Aston Villa in its current state.

In comparison, Barcelona's defense line is much more luxurious.

The main central defender is Pique and Mascherano's partner.

After 'returning' to Barcelona, ​​Pique has grown into the team's most indispensable defensive core.

Mascherano originally joined Liverpool as a defensive midfielder in 2010, but he did not expect that the Argentinian became Pique's most reliable partner since then.

This central defender partner was praised by Barcelona media as a top central defender partner who can last ten years.

The right back is Brazilian star Alves, and Barcelona captain Puyol on the left.

The former is considered by many media to be the number one right-back in football, while the latter is the captain and flag of Barcelona. He is experienced and is the stabilizer of Barcelona.

In the goalkeeper stage, the media also believes that Barcelona's Valdes is currently stronger than Aston Villa's De Gea, both in terms of experience in major competitions and strength in the field.

The Daily Sports compared the defense lines of the two teams and concluded that Barcelona can now leave Aston Villa eight streets!

Even in the midfield that Fang Jue is proud of, the Catalan media thinks that it is better.

Aston Villa has the strongest lineup in the midfield, Gareth Bale, and Barcelona has Leo Messi.

Aston Villa has Mane and Barcelona has Iniesta.

Aston Villa has Modric, Barcelona has Xavi.

Aston Villa has Suarez, Barcelona has Villa.

Aston Villa has..., Barcelona has...

Aston Villa has Clement, Barcelona has Busquets, well, the only thing Catalan media admits is Clement, which Barcelona can't compare.

However, some media pointed out that compared to the honest and dull Clement, Busquets, who has a flexible mind and superb skills, also has his own special strengths.

In this way, Aston Villa's defense is far inferior to Barcelona, ​​and it seems that the midfield and frontcourt is also 'slightly weaker' than Barcelona.

No wonder everyone is optimistic about Aston Villa.

If we have to say what advantages Aston Villa has compared with Barcelona, ​​then their head coach Fang Jue beat Barcelona coach Guardiola.

Of course, this refers not only to appearance, but this does not require comparison. Fang Jue is eighteen streets ahead of Guardiola.

It refers to the match results of both sides. Fang Jue led Ibiza to meet Guardiola's Barcelona twice in the La Liga season in 008/009. Ibiza defeated Barcelona twice. In Ibiza's home game, Ibiza beat Barcelona six to two.

In that game, Lewandowski scored twice, Mata, Modric, Fareco and Thomasen each scored a goal, making Barcelona fall into a mess.

Then there was the Champions League final last season, Aston Villa defeated Barcelona five-3, Bale scored a hat trick, Desler scored, and Ronaldo also scored his only priceless goal in his first Champions League final!

The coach Fang beat Guapep three times, and it was awesome.

Therefore, although a considerable number of media are not optimistic about Aston Villa, the local media in Birmingham feel that Aston Villa is very confident.

Their confidence comes from Fang Jue's magical power since his coaching career, and also from his brilliant achievements in the three years he took charge of Aston Villa.

It is worth mentioning that in Spain, the media and fans in Ibiza have clearly stood on Aston Villa's side, believing that Fang Jue will lead the team to defeat Barcelona for the fourth time.

Although he has been away from Ibiza for three years, Fang Jue still has a very high popularity and influence here.

Local media even half-jokingly said that if Fang Jue was willing to run for mayor, there would be no suspense to be elected.

...

Barcelona, ​​Los Pitale.

Fang Jue had a small gathering with his old friends, and the participants were very interesting.

There are Carl Fernando and his wife Tracy.

There is also Ibiza head coach Pablo Fernandez who was the one who coached Ibiza before.

The former was once the pioneer of the crazy black Fang Jue in the Spanish media industry, and his relationship with Fang Jue was very bad. At one time, both sides hated each other and hated him so much that they were itchy.

Especially when Fernando first angrily criticized Fang Jue's Ibiza for playing games, it was like eating shit, and later he even criticized Fang Jue for poisoning the shit, which made Fang Jue so angry.

Interestingly, Fernando later thought that he began to 'praise' Fang Jue, but eventually 'whitewashed'. In addition, his wife Tracy is a resident of Ibiza and is the sister-in-law of Fang Jue's friend Queros. Well, he became a friend.

As for Fernandez, Fang Jue has always respected this senior.

When talking about the past, Fernandez also sighed that if he had known Fang Jue was so talented in coaching, he would have smashed his own window and resigned on the pretext of his resignation, and strongly recommended Fang Jue to take office.

Fang Jue's expression did not change and clinked glasses with the old senior, thinking that this was a bit unsatisfactory.

He asked with concern, was there any result for the glass-smashing that year's claim to be the "No. 1 unsolved case in Ibiza"?

"Solved the case!" Fernandez sighed, looking at Fang Jue with a complicated expression, and said, "I have found the person who smashed the glass."

Fang Jue looked up suddenly: -Ga -!!!
