The past tour ended in failure for the Birmingham club. Aston Villa hosted Leeds in their home arena and suffered a crushing defeat 0:3, which was the first for Dean Smith’s charges in the current championship of England. The game with the “peacocks” turned out to be on an equal footing only in the first half, but in the second half it fell apart after the first conceded goal. Although we must pay tribute, in the first four rounds Aston Villa achieved maximum results, although its performance was not of high quality in all matches. Birmingham manages to play better from the opponent, realizing their chances on counterattacks. This is how the victories over Liverpool (7:2), Fulham (3:0) and Leicester (1:0) were obtained. The game in positional attack is difficult for the Villans. With some luck, they achieved a positive result in the match with Sheffield United (1:0). At the moment, Aston Villa dropped to third place in the standings. They are just two points behind Everton, Liverpool and Wolverhamton, but have played one less game. Note that the defeat to Leeds interrupted the winning streak of Dean Smith’s charges, which consisted of four matches in a row. In general, in the last nine matches in the Premier League, Aston Villa suffered only one defeat. There are no special losses in the Birmingham team. Courtney House, Tom Heaton and Wesley, who have not yet appeared on the football field this season, are still in the infirmary.
Although Barcelona is still in a transitional period, this team is still being rebuilt. In the summer one of the main strikers of the club, Luis Suarez, left. He was the main striking force of the team, of course, after Lionel Messi. Also new faces appeared in the club, thats Ricky Puch and Ansu Fati. The latter showed up quite well, already scored four goals for his team. But the results of the club themselves are quite unsatisfactory, since the team has only seven points in the asset, being in the twelfth position after played five matches. In the last two games there were defeats, and if the first from Getafe on the road could be attributed to the preparation for the starting match in the Champions League, then the defeat from their main opponent Real Madrid cannot be understood in any way. So far, the Catalan team is playing as if it were a middle peasant.
