When Villa refused to transfer the game, he said that Tottenham was not good for him

Turning Net, April 28, According to The Athletic, Aston Villa explicitly refused to adjust the Premier League game time for Tottenham Hotspur's UEFA Europa League event, believing that this move only unilaterally facilitates Tottenham Hotspur, but will interfere with its own planning.

The Premier League match between Villa was originally scheduled to be against Tottenham at home on May 18 local time, causing controversy over the rescheduling due to Tottenham's advance to the Europa League semi-finals. The UEFA Cup final was held on May 21, and Tottenham hopes to adjust the schedule to prepare for the finals better. However, Vera firmly opposed it, and the reasons were sufficient. This game is Villa's last home game this season. If it is changed to mid-week, it will not only reduce the game interval, but also disrupt the team's key preparation plan for the European competition.

Villa has already intensive schedules this season, with 54 games in play, and 9 games in the past 30 days, and the players' physical fitness is huge. In contrast, Tottenham did not have the next game until May 10 after playing against Fulham on May 3, and the schedule is looser than Villa. In addition, even if Manchester United, which is also a UEFA Cup contender, advances to the final, its away game against Chelsea will be two days earlier than Villa's original scheduled date against Tottenham, and there is more time to prepare.

Currently, Villa ranked seventh in the Premier League standings, only three points behind Chelsea, which is rushing to the European qualification with all his strength. In the critical stage of the competition for the fourth quarter, Villa naturally did not want to affect the pace of preparation due to adjustments in the schedule. Although Tottenham has discussed with the Premier League to reschedule, Villa's opposition has made the time adjustment of this game full of variables.
