In the 37th round of the league, Aston Villa faces Tottenham Hotspur at home.

This is also the first home game since Aston Villa defended the Premier League title.

Most importantly, before the game, Aston Villa Club had issued an announcement that this game will be the last game at Villa Park Stadium.

After the season, this great 115-year-old stadium will be demolished and the new stadium in Aston Villa will be built on the original site.

This is the time to say goodbye.

In fact, a few days before the game started, a large number of fans had already arrived outside the court.

Someone took a photo together.

Some people send a bouquet of flowers to this great stadium to express their sincere feelings.

Game day.

The Villa Park Stadium, which can accommodate 42,788 people, is full. In fact, a large number of fans gathered outside the stadium, waiting outside to say goodbye to this stadium that has carved the memories of generations.

In the stands, many old white-haired fans sat down tremblingly with the help of their families.

They are too old, and almost never go to the stadium to watch the game.

Some people have not even been on site for more than ten years to watch football.

But, today they have to come.

They said goodbye to the old guy.

It was also for my ancestors and fathers to say goodbye to this old friend.

...

Helicopters hovering in the night sky.

This is a helicopter aerial shooting arranged by Aston Villa Club. It is necessary to record the final farewell performance of Villa Park Stadium and the last time you can overlook this 115-year-old old stadium from the air. These will be part of the future history.

Before the game, CCTV front reporter interviewed a white-haired female fan, who was holding a photo of her deceased husband in her hand.

The 89-year-old female fan Daisy and her husband are both hardcore fans of Aston Villa. Since I was a child, I fell in love with this team under the influence of their fathers.

"My grandfather and father, uncles are all Villa fans, and now, my children are all Villa fans, and of course, so are Phil."

Phil is her dead husband.

"Last year, the team stood at the top of Europe. I accompanied Phil to watch the football in the hospital. He was very happy and very happy. This was the happiest day after Phil got sick. A few days later, he left. What made me feel relieved was that he left happily. He was able to see the team win the UEFA Champions League trophy again before leaving. He said that he was extremely lucky and happy."

"I'll say goodbye to the stadium today." Daisy kissed the photo of her husband in her hand.

"Villa Park Stadium will not disappear. I will take Phil to see the stadium. Remember the appearance of the stadium. If he goes to heaven to watch the stadium, he will not go to the wrong stadium." As he said that, Grandma Daisy wiped the corners of her eyes and smiled shyly, "Phil will not go to the wrong stadium, but I can't bear to leave it alone."

"My love, marriage, and the growth of my children are inseparable from this stadium. She is already a part of our life." Daisy said, wrinkles crawling over her forehead, but they can't cover her smile.

Saying goodbye is not a farewell forever, because in my heart, I will always miss you.

The possession that used to be the most precious.

...

Before the game began, the visitors' Tottenham Hotspur players lined up in two teams outside the passage, and then Aston Villa's players came out one after another and applauded.

This is a greeting to the champion team.

Before Fang Jue took over Aston Villa, Villa and Tottenham might still have a certain competitive relationship, and the two sides have to compete for the European war qualification.

However, with the rise of Aston Villa in recent seasons, these "festivals" have long disappeared, and the relationship between the two teams is still relatively harmonious...

It was just relatively harmonious, the players were quite harmonious, and the players from both sides were greeting.

However, the relationship between the fans and the club's top leaders is poor.

This starts with Aston Villa coming to Bale from Tottenham Taobao.

Levi kept saying that Aston Villa had stolen his big Bale, and he angrily scolded Fang Jue as the thief.

Then Aston Villa and Manchester City formed a team to fool him, and they actually deceived Kyle Walker and Daniel Ross from Tottenham Hotspur.

It is said that this almost made Tottenham Hotspur chairman Levi angry at all.

He swore that he would never forgive the thief Fang Jue and Aston Villa.

He also scolded Manchester City as the most hateful accomplice.

Of course, Fang Jue didn't mind these things. He always was kind to others and did not have the same knowledge as Levi.

Tottenham Hotspur head coach Redknapp Sr. also took the initiative to shake hands with Fang Jue, congratulating him on his feat of leading the team to three consecutive Premier League championships.

This old man used to treat Fang Jue not very friendly. However, facing the famous coach of Fang Jue who won three consecutive championships, the old man had to change his attitude. To win respect, he must first make a strong iron.

...

This game is very important for Tottenham Hotspur, who are competing for the fourth-place Champions League qualification.

In the current Premier League points ranking, Chelsea ranks fourth with 63 points, Tottenham Hotspur ranked fifth with 62 points, and Arsenal ranked sixth with 61 points. These three teams will compete for the fourth-place Champions League qualification in these last two rounds of the league.

Before the game, the media generally predicted that Aston Villa would have no desires after winning the championship, and that Aston Villa's celebration would make the players tired after winning the championship. In addition, the relaxed mentality after winning the championship will also make the players psychologically enter a burnout period.

So, in comparison, Tottenham Hotspur, who must win today in this game to sprint to the top four of the league, has a bigger chance of winning.

However, less than twenty minutes after the game started, Aston Villa told everyone with a goal that they were also very serious in this game.

This is German veteran Klose assisted Belgian young player De Bruyne who started today, scoring the first record for Aston Villa.

One to zero.

Before the end of the first half, Tottenham Hotspur, who was pressing heavily, was hit by Aston Villa, and Modric made a pass to the penalty area. Suarez successfully counterattacked and scored a low shot to break through the goal guarded by 35-year-old Italian goalkeeper Kudinic.

Two to zero.

With a 2-0 score, Aston Villa secured the victory almost in half.

After more than 70 minutes of the game, Milner returned from injury due to assist. Shinji Kagawa, who came on the bench, scored a goal and locked the score at 3-0.

The most touching scene of this game was fifteen minutes before the end of the second half of the game. All Aston Villa fans at Villa Park Stadium could stand up. The elderly man couldn't stand up and sat in his seat.

Everyone raised the Aston Villa scarf in their hands and sang the Aston Villa team song in unison. This team song has been sung for more than a hundred years and has been sang by generations.

They used this method to bid farewell to the stadium for their 115th birthday.

Farewell to the old stadium, but the memory is forever in my heart.

The team song meeting continues to be sung from generation to generation, and the love for Vera will not fade, but will only increase day by day.

The camera tightly locked in a group of old fans, and Daisy, who was interviewed by CCTV before the game, was also among them.

These old fans were either standing tremblingly or sitting in their seats. Some people raised their scarves with their hands, while others were kissing the scarfs tied around their necks.

Many people burst into tears.

The night wind blew, blew the scarf, blew away the tears, and blew away their white hair...

...

After the game, Aston Villa Club officially announced that the club will cut 1,150 pieces of the turf of the stadium before demolishing the stadium, and after special treatment, it will be made into specimens, and trimmed and processed to mark the shape of the stadium in Via Park, which can be preserved for a long time.

115 of them were given as special souvenirs to partners and guests of Aston Villa Club.

Among them, 115 copies were given free of charge to the family of hardcore fans of the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren, and these 115 copies would also be "printed" the surnames of the fans' families to show special circulation.

There are 115×3=345 copies left by the club. After each season, 5 lucky fans will be drawn to give them.

115 is the age of Villa Park Stadium.

Another 575 pieces will be sold to fans, each priced at £1,897 or £2,012. This is the day when Villa Park Stadium is completed and the end of her life, and this number will be printed on the specimens respectively.

Although the prices are slightly different, the items are not different, and it depends on the purchaser's willingness to choose.

The quota of 575 units is limited, first-purchase first-served, and each person is limited to two units.

The money will be spent on a public welfare project for the construction of the museum at Villa Park Stadium.

Yes, the club will build a small museum of Villa Park Stadium in the new stadium, which will collect various items, photos, texts and film and television information about the old stadium.

In addition, when the stadium is demolished, 10,000 bricks with good quality will be selected, commemorative medals and dates will be engraved, and given to fans as a souvenir for free.

As for which fans can obtain commemorative bricks, the club has also announced plans.

Aston Villa's official website and the Birmingham Evening News collaborated on the "Villa Park Stadium in My Memory".

Fans can contribute, whether it is a textual thought, or telling stories about themselves and the team, photos, or video materials.

The club will invite some fan representatives and club staff to draw together, draw 10,000 lucky fans and get the commemorative bricks of Villa Park Stadium.

Once the event was announced, it immediately ignited the crazy enthusiasm of Aston Villa's fans.

Because I wanted to say goodbye to the sadness of the old stadium, I was soon attracted by this hot nostalgic event.

Even this passion storm has attracted the attention and amazement of the entire English media:

Whether it is to make turf specimens based on the appearance of the court, give part of the club partners and VIPs and hardcore fans' families, or to retain part of the fixed annual lottery to fans, or to sell the remaining share for fans to raise funds to build the museum.

I would still make 10,000 commemorative bricks and create this "Villa Park Stadium in my memory" event, and give the lottery to fans for free.

This is something they have never thought about.

Some media even revealed that fans from other clubs pretended to be Aston Villa fans and wanted to win commemorative bricks for the lottery, but the reason was that this was cool and had collection value.

Even some local Aston Villa fans have made a noise and are willing to purchase turf commemorative specimens at several times the price.

Seeing the popularity and topics caused by this, I was amazed every moment.

Just a stadium, can you still play like this?

Then they found out that the event planning was made by Aston Villa's new sports director Ms. Ma Dongmei...
Chapter completed!
