In the early morning of April 3, Beijing time, the Premier League ended a match in the 31st round, and Wolves and Villa's two midstream teams competed. Wolves eventually won 2-1 against Villa, who suffered a three-game losing streak in the league. For Gerrard, the recent consecutive losses of the club can be described as a big blow. After this game, Villa is 15 points behind the European zone and it is basically impossible to catch up.
Villa, who was once the dark horse of the league last season, was relegated at the beginning of the season. With Gerrard in office, the situation in the team began to improve. Prior to this round, Villa were 9th in the league and basically didn't have to worry about relegation, which was a big credit to Liverpool star Gerrard.
Wolves, on the other hand, have also experienced a coaching change this season. At the beginning of the season, due to the change of manager, Wolves once began with a three-game losing streak in the league. However, under the trust of the club, head coach Laje successfully left the class crisis, after all, the team is currently ranked 7th, and there is a possibility of competing for Champions League qualification.
In this game between Wolves and Villa, although the pre-match rankings of the two sides are close, there is still a big gap in the points between the two teams. In the 7th minute of the game, Castro scored a shot to help Wolves gain a one-goal advantage. Before half-time, former Manchester United captain Ashley Young released himself and Villa conceded another goal to fall behind 2-0.
In the second half of the game, Gerrard constantly made adjustments, but unfortunately failed to score a goal. In the 85th minute, Villa finally found their chance to score, and Watford scored a penalty to win back a city for the club, but it was too late. In the end, the game was over, Villa lost the game 1-2, and Gerrard also suffered a three-game losing streak in the Premier League.
For Gerrard, his previous consecutive Premier League scoring has given him a lot of praise. However, in the recent past, the team suffered 3 consecutive defeats, which was a bit of a fall off the altar. Villa have recently lost to West Ham, Arsenal and Wolves respectively. These 3 teams, theoretically all have the possibility of competing for 4, belong to the teams in the upper and middle of the league.
In this sense, Villa, led by Gerrard, is still difficult to win against a strong team. In the previous matches against the giants, Villa also had a poor performance. After Gerrard took office, the Premier League result that he could get his hands on was to draw manchester United. With current coaching ability, Gerrard wants to take over Uncle Scum's coaching whip at Liverpool, and it will take a long time to learn.
Villa didn't play much in April, and after tonight's game, they will be at home next week to Tottenham, which is obviously another test for Gerrard. Due to the postponement of the match against Liverpool, Villa's remaining two opponents in April are leicester city and Norwich city. If they can win these 2 opponents, Villa will basically be able to retain the top 10 positions in the league.
