After playing against Manchester City, Aston Villa ushered in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals and Galatasaray.

Given that Aston Villa defeated his opponent 6-0 away in the first leg, everyone knows that Aston Villa is basically going through the motions in this game.

Before the game, Aston Villa head coach Fang Jue made a clear statement that the team will rotate in this game.

"We respect Galatasaray, and the reason for the rotation is that some players are too tired, that's all."

Fang Jue said he wanted to rotate, which was not surprising, but when the game started, people were still shocked when they saw Aston Villa's starting lineup.

Fang Jue's rotation is not so much a rotation, but rather a complete dispatch of Villa second team.

The goalkeeper is Italian veteran Kudicini.

The central defender combination is Italian veteran Nesta and young player Stones.

The left back is Daniel Rose.

The right back is Italian player Thornton.

The midfielder is Gleno and Pogba's double midfielder configuration.

The frontcourt is Shinji Kagawa, James Rodriguez, Valdi and Italian veteran Philip Inzagi.

Among the eleven starting players, except for Ha Mei and Vardy, who are the main players in the rotation, the other players are truly substitutes.

More than that, check out Aston Villa’s bench:

Ngolo Kante and Jack Gallish, who were temporarily promoted from the reserve and youth team to the first team, were very proud of them.

There are also young goalkeeper Elliot Paris, who was trained in youth training, and central defender Silen Clark.

A group of reserve teams and young players, plus Lewandowski, Milner, Mane and others, have several main players.

And Galatasaray, it can be said that all the main players are coming out.

Even England commentators John Motson and Reinker said that with such a starting configuration, Aston Villa may face the first defeat in the Champions League this season.

However, after the ninety-minute game, everyone was stunned.

...

The score of the whole game was three to two, and Aston Villa, who played as a substitute, beat Galatasaray.

Not long after the first half, Sneijder scored the first record for Galatasaray.

This made many people worried that Aston Villa would lose, or even lose more miserably.

However, Aston Villa was not panicked after conceding the ball.

And in more than 30 minutes, Ha Mei assisted Vardy to equalize the score.

At the beginning of the second half, Aston Villa's performance shocked everyone:

Italian veteran Inzagi and French young player Pogba scored two goals in ten minutes, rewriting the score to three-to-one.

Galatasaray did not score a goal until the last moment of the game.

...

"We only saw Aston Villa line up a full substitute, but in fact, the strength of this substitute 11 is not weak." Zhan Jun said.

"Nesta's performance is still very steady. Stones was a little nervous at the beginning, but under Nesta's words and deeds, he obviously performed much better in the second half."

"Pogba's performance is getting better and better. I wonder if Ferguson will regret letting Pogba go."

"Inzaki's goal is a typical Inzaki-style goal, and Shinji Kagawa gave an accurate counter-offside pass."

"Kante and Gallish made their debut in the Champions League. Kante performed very steadily and could not tell at all that this was his first time playing in the Champions League. Gallish also had a stunning performance."

The Guardian also lamented after the game, 'The thickness of this Aston Villa is deeper than last season, and such Aston Villa is the most terrifying thing.'

The perspective of the Daily Mirror is quite magical, "This is the first time that Greno has no opponent's player was sent off by a red card."

The newspaper analyzed that perhaps it was the six-to-zero in the first round, which made Glino feel that there was no need to use his big move in the game...

Aston Villa, Dortmund, Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus, Malaga, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich.

...

On March 15, UEFA played the quarter-final draw of the Champions League this season in Nyon.

Fang Jue did not attend the lottery ceremony on site, and Aston Villa arranged for the club general manager Byron to attend the lottery ceremony on site.

Fang Jue and his family watched the live TV broadcast of lottery draws at home.

The first thing to do is draw lots in the upper and lower half areas.

Aston Villa, Real Madrid, Malaga and Dortmund were drawn to the upper half.

Barcelona, ​​Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich and Juventus were drawn to the lower half.

Then draw the matchup situation in the upper half.

Aston Villa was the first to be pulled out.

Fang Jue waved his fist happily.

According to the rules, the teams that are drawn first are away and then home.

The order of the game first and then home is relatively favorable. As long as you get a relatively good result in the away game in the first round, it will be very beneficial to the team's promotion.

The camera gives close-ups of club officials from Real Madrid, Dortmund and Málaga.

The three of them were all expressionless, especially the general manager of the Malaga Club, who had a little nervous expression.

Aston Villa is definitely something that no team wants to encounter.

The final of the Champions League this season is held at the New Wembley Stadium in London, England.

The guest of the lottery is Arsenal legend Adams.

Adams's hand fumbled in the signing box for a long time and finally took out a signing ball.

Then unscrew the ball and remove the folded paper strips.
