Coach, I want to play football!

September 28, Sunday, sunny and sunny!

Back in the league, Leicester City will travel to Villa Park to challenge Aston Villa.

The area where Aston Villa is located is Birmingham, and they are also rivals in the same city as Birmingham.

But this is an advantage for Leicester City is... close!

Leicester City is about forty kilometers west of Birmingham, and the team bus can arrive at Villa Park within an hour.

So there is no need to go to the away game in advance, just set off in the morning on the game day, go to the away court in the afternoon to get used to the turf, and start to dry in the evening!

At the same time, there is no need to stay overnight in Birmingham after the game. The team bus will be pulled back directly, and everyone can sleep with their families in their beds at night.

Of course, even so, the hotel still needs to be booked, after all, the players and the coaching staff also need a place to take a lunch break.

Although Aston Villa sold their Belgian center Benteke to Liverpool this summer, and midfielder Delph to Manchester City, the transfer market earned about 4000 million pounds.

But the team owner didn't keep the money in his pocket, it was also the money spent in the transfer market...

1000 million bought full-back Amavi from Nice, France, 900 million bought midfielder Gueye from French Lille, and 850 million bought forward Jordan Ayew from Lorient, France. This is Benteke leaving the team successor.

800 million bought midfielder Villetut from Nantes, France, who intends to replace Delph who left the team.

700 million bought the winger fast horse Adama Traore produced by Barcelona's youth training, as well as 600 million Gersted and more than 200 million Sinclair.

Looking at it this way, everyone can find a problem, that is, most of the transfer transactions with large amounts of money are completed with Ligue [-] clubs.

Among them, the head coach Grant plays a vital role, because he is French and has also coached the veteran Ligue [-] team Lyon for nearly three years, so he knows Ligue [-] players better.

The transfer income is nearly 4000 million pounds, but the transfer investment is not low, close to 500 million pounds!

So looking at it this way, Aston Villa is actually losing money this summer.This also fully proves that they want to do a big job in the new season, at least...to relegation, right?

Last season, they ranked No.17 in the Premier League, only three points more than the No.18 relegated Tiger City Hull City, and they can successfully relegation.

So their task in the new season is not to be as nervous as last season.

After the League Cup break, Ranieri is naturally the main force in the seventh round of the Premier League.

For example, Ye Qi and Vardy's striker partners started again, Mahrez and Kanter also got the start.

The difference is that Kanter's midfield partner is not Drinkwater but Inle.

This is the tactic that Ranieri formulated before, arranging the midfielder combination according to different opponents.

Aston Villa is not strong, whether it was last season or this season when signings were strengthened, so Inle's combination with Kanter's midfielder is completely sufficient.

Originally, Ranieri wanted to use Wasilewski in the position of central defender, but considering that the Polish defender is old, his turning speed is also slow.

In addition, the opponent's head striker Abang Raho is a fast and explosive striker, so Ranieri finally let the Polish veteran sit on the bench.

Aston Villa wanted to make a big move this season, but in the end it backfired.

In the first six rounds of the league, they had a total of two draws and four losses. They only scored two points and they are currently the deputy squad leaders of the league.

So this game is also a contest between the first in the league and the last in the league.

If it weren't for the fact that Grant has just taken office this season and the league has just started, most likely the French head coach is ready to find another home.

At the beginning of the game, the visiting team's Leicester City took the initiative instead.

The striker combination of Ye Qi and Vardy frequently threatened the opponent's defense, but Aston Villa obviously did some homework.

Knowing that the Huaxia striker played well against Manchester City and is also the Blue Fox's current top scorer, the defense against Ye Qi is much stricter.

The defensive midfielder Gaye from Senegal is almost inseparable from Ye Qi.

Aston Villa's formation in this game is also 442, but their 442 is a diamond midfielder.Only the single defensive midfielder Gaye is behind, with a forward midfielder Gill in charge of offensive organization in front, central midfielder Westwood and all-round midfielder Villetut in the middle.

It's just that nearly half of the 11 starting players are new players who joined this summer, and there are also one or two players who were not reused last season.

For example, the Spanish midfielder Gill is one of them. He came to Aston Villa last season.

Although he joined in the winter transfer, this number of appearances is really not high.

Now after Grant came to Aston Villa, he directly helped him to the main position. Instead, the previous main attacking midfielder Nzobia was put on the bench.

So although Ye Qi had some troubles here, he took Gaye to find the opponent's central defender to get together, and then created a lot of opportunities for teammates Vardy, Mahrez and even Inle who came in later.

This is also Ranieri's dish when he sees people. Drinkwater's attack from the back is not as active as Inle.Therefore, when the opponent is not strong, Shang Yinle strengthens the ability to hold the ball in the middle when attacking and counterattacking. If the opponent is strong, it is the double defensive midfielder of Kanter's partner Drinking Water.

No. In the 17th minute, Ye Qi pulled the opponent's two defensive players by himself.Inle, who came in later, attacked with the ball and pulled the opponent's central midfielder away, and then passed the ball to Fox.

Albrighton didn't get in, but full-back Fox got the ball decisively after he got in, and then passed the ball to the middle.

Ye Qi's running position attracted the attention of the opponent's central defender, and after Vardy ran in place at the back point, he received a pass from Fox and hit the goal directly, and the football hit the net!

One to zero, Leicester City took the lead in the away game just halfway through the first half.

In history, Leicester City only had Vardy as the team's marksman, but he performed very well on the offensive end.

Now that she has Ye Qi, the blue fox is a little bit left and right, or even more blooming.

As long as you spend your energy staring at Ye Qi, Vardy will give you a heavy blow.If you look at Vardy, then Ye Qi will teach you how to behave.

Generally speaking, no team can arrange heavy troops to guard these two centers.Even if you create a problem for this pair of centers, Mahrez who cuts in from the wing will surprise you.

The Aston Villa coach on the sidelines touched his hair, only to see that there were more than two dozen hairs on his hands.

Damn... the pressure of coaching a Premier League team is fucking overwhelming!
