The top-ranking competition in the Premier League has only just begun.

As time comes to the end of November, the 15th round of Premier League competition is fully launched.

Among the three teams ranked first, Manchester United welcomed Everton at home, Chelsea challenged Bolton away, and Manchester City's opponent was Aston Villa, which was also an away game.

Aston Villa is not a strong team, but they should not be underestimated.

This summer, Aston Villa made headlines in British newspapers several times, which is not good news for a team on the verge of relegation last season.

In summer

Aston Villa's overall performance is not too bad. So far, they rank tenth in the league, which is not bad at all compared to their previous and summer investments. What is troublesome is that this team is a bit like Middlesbrough of Everton and McLaren this season. Their performance is not fixed. They may lose directly to the small club at home or defeat the big club away.

Such an opponent is difficult to deal with.

The time around Christmas is the best time to compete for the top spot, so everyone in Manchester City, including Wan Sheng, attaches great importance to every round of the league, and the same goes for Aston Villa. Before the game, the coaching staff carefully studied Aston Villa's recent game, and then specially designated some defensive strategies to counterattack against Aston Villa. At the same time, Wan Sheng also paid close attention to the state of each player, so as to try to make the best players in the game.

But it turns out that even if you rely on the football training master system, you cannot send out the best lineup, because the players' state will change due to external influences.

For example, a player is in very good condition before the game. However, affected by the opponent's defense, his body and mentality will change, which will directly affect his state, from very good condition to very poor condition. The two extremes may be just a small change in his mentality.

This happened to Manchester City in the game against Aston Villa.

At Villa Park Stadium, Aston Villa started to do a solid defense and fierce battle in the first minute of the score. Manchester City has long been used to the opponent's defensive movements, but even if they are used to it, they will be angry. Especially after several fierce battles, the referee showed yellow cards in succession, the angry people of both players were picked up.

The next game is almost hand-to-hand combat, and it is difficult for both sides to play any cooperation tactics.

This game lasted until the end of the midfield.

During the halftime break, Wan Sheng carefully told everyone not to be affected by the opponent's performance and to show a normal heart. However, in the first three minutes, Kopelle Ferreira's big tackle move completely turned his statement into empty talk. The referee Koler directly showed Ferreira yellow cards, and with the yellow cards in the first half, Ferreira accumulated two yellow cards and was sent off.

A red card is still very shocking, and the actions of both sides are restrained next, but Manchester City has had to fight ten people.

Aston Villa felt this was a good opportunity because they had one more person than Manchester City, but after several waves of offensives and almost disrupted by Manchester City's rapid counterattack, Aston Villa was also much more calm in the offense, and they paid more attention to defense. As a result, both sides were harmonious in the second half of the second half, as if they were playing a 'friendly match'.

The game ends here.

In the end, both sides drew: a draw, and Manchester City only took one point away at Villa Park Stadium. …

Manchester City did not win, and media reporters felt it was interesting.

In the past, whenever Manchester City performs well, their young coach will smile and say a lot of things. Many media hostile to Manchester City feel very unhappy. Now that Manchester City draws, they have reason to gloat. In their imagination, if Manchester City fails to score three points, the Chinese will definitely be very unhappy, but they are disappointed again.

Wansheng was in a bad mood. But he was still very calm.

He was a little dissatisfied with Aston Villa's 'barbaric', but he also knew that this could not be changed. The style of each team is like this. Aston Villa will not change his style just because he expressed his dissatisfaction. In addition, the game has ended, and it doesn't make sense to say these things, so Wan Sheng just said calmly, "1 point is acceptable to us. I don't think 1 point is equal to failure, because we did not lose!"

This view was surprising to many media. During the fierce competition for the championship, they only scored one point against the mid-game team. No matter how they count it, it was equivalent to failure. So what does this Chinese mean?

Soon the media reported that Wan Sheng refers to Manchester City's overall results - so far, the league has been held for 15 rounds, and Manchester City has remained unbeaten for 15 consecutive rounds!

Even if it was a draw, Manchester City did not lose even if it was a draw. Unbeaten in 15 rounds was definitely not easy to get, but Manchester City did it.

The unbeaten in the 15th round of the league is enough to satisfy Manchester City fans!

As the league champion last season and the defending champion this season, Manchester City has not fallen behind in the results. This is a success in itself. In comparison, what is a draw?

In this game, Manchester City's overall performance was not very good, but it could not be required that a team perform well in every game!

In short, as Manchester City's head coach, this young Chinese has many reasons to be satisfied with taking away a point, but no reason to be disappointed in a draw. Instead, the media reporters who are looking forward to seeing Wan Sheng dissatisfied with the draw were all disappointed.

Wansheng is indeed not disappointed.

It's just a draw. There are so many games in the league, it's impossible to ask the team to win all of them. What's more, this draw also has bad luck. The team has good chances in the first and second half, including three shots that deviated from the post. Even if there is one goal, the team will win the final victory.

It's a pity that there isn't.

Performance and luck together determine that the team can only take one point.

It’s like the God who dominates everything decides something, no matter how hard a mortal tries, it’s useless... After watching the game, Wan Sheng thought a little bit like this.

He has always hoped that the team can win continuously, which is also related to the football training master's winning streak this season. As a result, the team will always encounter unwinding occasionally. So far, the team has won 12 league games, and at most it is only a five-game winning streak.

This is really helpless!

Wan Sheng smiled bitterly. …

At the same time, other matches in the 15th round of the Premier League have also ended.

In the focus game, Manchester United won Everton 3: at Old Trafford Stadium. Perhaps due to the influence of the last draw with Chelsea, all the anger that Manchester United players were holding on Everton. As a result, all Manchester United players performed very little in the game. C-Ronaldo scored and took the lead. Evra scored his first goal and expanded the score after joining Manchester United. Finally, O'Shea added icing on the cake.

This is Manchester United's first victory in the last 9 league games!

Ferguson's happy look after the game also fully demonstrates Manchester United's performance. Of course, the opposite is David Moyes's unlucky expression. Everton can almost be described as being "slaughtered" in the game. Although they are not "first-tier teams" in the Premier League, Everton is also a strong team, and it is still very unpleasant to be beaten by Manchester United to 3.

Meanwhile, Chelsea also took away three points with a controversial goal at Reebok Stadium.

1 match, another typical Mourinho-style victory.

Chelsea still maintains the 3-point gap, but the Portuguese sees a bright future. "I think we won't be the leader of the league in the long run."

Bolton players accepted the defeat with a reluctant mentality because they thought Barack's goal was problematic. In the second and a half points in stoppage time in the first half, Lampard took a corner kick from the left, and Barack grabbed Davis and headed the ball into the far corner.

The controversy over this goal is not about Barrag's goal, but about the goal time. The fourth official raised his sign before the end of the first half and showed that the stoppage time was two minutes, but the referee Bennett blew the whistle and ended the first half delayed by half a minute.

However, Bolton coach Allardys accepted the fact calmly, saying that the referee's decision to allow Chelsea to finish the corner kick was fair.

"The referees will never whistle the end of a team when they are about to get a corner kick, which costs us, but Chelsea should have taken the lead in the first half, although we have a lot of opportunities in the second half." Allardyce pointed out the key.

This is Barack's third league goal, and without exception, these goals are headers.

Since the arrival of the German, he has replaced captain Terry and become the player with the most headers in Chelsea team. Barack also won the highest score recently shown by the media after the game. The German may still be a long way from becoming the core of the team. Perhaps in Mourinho's tactical system, such a day has never been arranged for him, but it cannot be ignored that he has become the person who has become more and more frequently from the extra person on the verge of the brink.

Mourinho said before the game that his team will never repeat the mistakes of Arsenal and capsize at Reebok Stadium.

This victory obviously gave him double his confidence, so that the Portuguese shouted the slogan "It will soon be the first in the league" after the game.

"We had two tough games at Old Trafford and Reebok Stadium. We might have lost points after these two games, but fortunately everything remained the same. Going back, it's Manchester United and Manchester City's turn to fight fiercely." Mourinho's tone was obviously gloating.

The media knows what he is referring to.

Chelsea has experienced many major battles, and Manchester United and Manchester United still have one game that has not played, that is, the direct match between the two teams in the 17th round of the league.

After this round, Manchester United continued to be the leader and remained the first in the league. Manchester City left two points and ranked second. Chelsea ranked third by one point lower than Manchester City. In the 17th round, Manchester United and Manchester City faced each other. No matter who wins and who loses, Chelsea can almost advance one.
Chapter completed!
