Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle and let $A_1$, $B_1$, $C_1$ be points on the sides $BC, CA$ and $AB$, respectively. Show that the triangles $ABC$ and $A_1B_1C_1$ are similar ($\angle A = \angle A_1, \angle B = \angle B_1,\angle C = \angle C_1$) if and only if the orthocentre of the triangle $A_1B_1C_1$ and the circumcentre of the triangle $ABC$ coincide.
