The Glory of the Godfather

Chapter 467 The First Intimate Contact with Ferguson (Monthly Ticket 20-2124 Supplement)

Fang Jue walked towards Zola.

He has a lot of respect for this man.

Not to Zola as a coach, but to Zola as a player.

This is a man who can make you wet with his left foot, no, no, a man who can play the violin.

Chelsea's current captain and temperament John Terry's number is 26, as everyone knows.

But why did Terry choose No. 26?

Few people know that the reason why the Chelsea captain chose No. 26 is because he can be the closest to No. 25 Zola in the dressing room.

In Chelsea, there is no No. 25 now. After Zola retired, Chelsea announced the retirement of the No. 25 player.

It is a great honor for an Italian who has worked hard in the Premier League to have his jersey retired with him.

Fang Jue said, It was a wonderful game, you made a fantastic start, and we have a good result.

Zola is not tall. He raised his head and looked at Fang Jue with interest. He was very surprised that there was a Chinese coach in European football, and he was so successful at such a young age.

I hope we are the one with a good result. Zola said with a wry smile. Your two goals are very exciting, especially the first goal. I thought it was against Arsenal.

It is well known that Zola is an Arsenal fan. To be precise, Zola as a coach is a Wenger fan.

Actually, you played very well, your offense is very distinctive, and you are only a little short of winning the game, but you are just a little bit unlucky. Fang Jue said sincerely.

This made Zola feel a lot better. He shook hands with Fang Jue to say goodbye, and even joked that he would get back in the next round.

You really think they lost because of bad luck? Ceballos asked.

Of course not. Fang Jue shook his head. There was only one reason for this game to be won: his team played well!

You're digging a hole for Zola. Ceballos immediately said, this guy is really sinister, if Zola really believes this, if he plays like this next time at Villa Park, he will probably die Worse.

Nothing. Fang Jue flatly denied, he stared, is he that kind of person?

Fang Jue protested against Ceballos' innocence.

Did he say something wrong? The number of shots taken by West Ham United in the whole game was 1.5 times that of Aston Villa. The data speaks for itself, and the opponent played really well.

...

The next day, the sports section of Birmingham's local media Birmingham Post used the headline: Top of the list!

After the two rounds of the league match, Aston Villa won both games and scored 6 points.

In the Premier League standings, there are five teams with two wins and six points, namely Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea, Fulham and Aston Villa.

Aston Villa has the least goal difference and ranks fifth.

Of course, in terms of points, they are indeed tied with the top Arsenal.

This is a very interesting ranking. Except for Aston Villa, the top five teams in the league are all from London.

This is the glory of the London team, but it is also a disgrace to the two Manchester teams and Liverpool. - The Guardian said unceremoniously.

Needless to say, Manchester United and Liverpool went crazy in the summer transfer market. Manchester City, which successively introduced Adebayor, Tevez, Santa Cruz and other stars, lost 2-0 at home in this round of the league. For Everton, it is indeed a surprise.

The Daily Mirror used the headline Villa people surrounded by Londoners, which is an affirmation and appreciation of Aston Villa.

If it is said that Aston Villa's fans still have some worries and lack of confidence in the team because of their opponent's own goal in the first round of the league, the away victory over rivals West Ham United in the second round of the league will make Aston Villa The fans were delighted.

Among other things, after experiencing a 12-game losing streak in the second half of last season, the league has won two games in a row in the new season, which makes many fans who are worried about the team's continued decline this season a little relieved.

After going through a change of bosses, coaches, and players, the two-game winning streak at the start of the league is indeed no small surprise.

The Times reporter Duncan Castur praised the head coach of Aston Villa in his column. He believed that Fang Jue's second game was a lot better than the first game.

Castur focused on Mane and Diego Costa, who made their appearances in this game.

Mane's speed is amazing.

And the most surprising thing is Diego Costa, a Brazilian player who spent £1.6 million on Aston Villa. And when he was born, he was like a calf, screaming...

Although it is not yet possible to say how well these two players will perform in Aston Villa in the future, at least this is a good start. Coach Fang Jue once again proved his vision of seeing people.

...

Another local media in Birmingham, the Birmingham Evening News, paid attention to Abang Lahor's outstanding performance. In the first round of the league, he sent a quasi-assist. In this round of the game against West Ham United, there was another key goal. This made Birmingham's media and The fans are very excited.

As a native of Birmingham, Gabriel Abanglaho has been an Aston Villa fan since he was a child, and entered the Villa youth academy at a very young age.

This is Vera's own people who are thriving.

While the Birmingham Evening News praised Abang Lahuo, it did not forget to praise the head coach, thinking that Fang Jue activated Abang Lahuo:

Last season, Aston Villa lost 12 games in a row, and Abanglahuo also suffered a nine-round scoring drought. Now that Fang Jue is coaching Villa, Abanglahuo has resurrected with full blood.

Of course, there is also a reason why the media reported this way. When Abang Raho was interviewed by the media, he happily revealed that the coach was very satisfied with his performance and praised him in particular. He was very happy.

Fang Jue responded to this. He told reporters, (Abanglaho scored) I am not surprised at all, because I believe he has such ability. Maybe his situation was a bit bad last season, but now, he will Wow everyone with goals.

The media and fans of Aston Villa are naturally happy to see that Fang Jue attaches great importance to and is optimistic about Abang Lahuo, and activated Abang Lahuo.

In a sense, this also made the fans of Aston Villa feel good about each other.

Of course, this is based on winning.

Still the same sentence, if you win, everything is delicious.

...

Fang Jue was not surprised by Deisler's goal, the Germans have such strength.

He is happiest about Abang Lahor's goal. The England international is fast, strong, and runs like a small tank. The biggest shortcoming is that his technique is relatively rough and the quality of his shots is not high.

Technology aside.

If the shooting level can be improved a little, it will definitely be a big surprise.

Therefore, Fang Jue was in a good mood.

Ferguson was in a bad mood.

In the second round of the league, Manchester United lost 0-1 away to Burnley.

It was Burnley's first Premier League game at home and their return to the English top flight after a 33-year absence here.

Manchester United has achieved 10 wins and 7 draws against Burnley in 41 years and remains unbeaten.

The last time Manchester United lost at the Turf Moor Stadium was in the First Division in 1968.

Therefore, Manchester United's loss to Burnley this time can be said to have broken an embarrassing record.

It is precisely because of this that this defeat also made the English media exclaim super unpopular.

From the media's point of view, Ferguson had a certain responsibility for Manchester United's loss. Sir Alex despised his opponent a little bit. The evidence is that Ferguson rotated 6 players in this game.

However, in Ferguson's view, rotation is not a reason to lose, because even with six players rotated, Manchester United is still far stronger than the opponent, the newly promoted polo team.

At the Carrington training ground, the lights in the head coach's office were still on late in the evening.

After repeatedly watching the video of the loss to Burnley, Ferguson was a little tired. He rubbed his temples, closed his eyes and thought.

Insufficient offensive ability!

This is the most direct reason for this defeat that Ferguson found.

In fact, this is what Ferguson is most worried about about the current Manchester United team.

After Ronaldo left, Rooney became the new core of Manchester United.

After the two Premier League games, Rooney is indeed the protagonist in the midfield, but Manchester United's attack power has dropped significantly.

The Manchester United coaching staff reminded Rooney not to retreat too much, but firstly, Rooney's style of play is like this, and secondly, if he is at the front, Manchester United's midfield organization will be even weaker.

Then Lu Xiaopang will fall into the embarrassment of not being able to find a receiver when passing the ball, and not being able to find a carrier when entering the penalty area.

When Rooney played with Berbatov, the Red Devils were troubled by the fact that both forwards liked to drop back; when it was Owen's starting partner Rooney, it is said that the characteristics of the old golden boy's fox in the penalty area should complement the chubby, but Owen's performance was really disappointing.

It is very stupid to judge a player based on his performance in two games. Ferguson will not make such a mistake.

However, Owen urgently needs to adjust his physical and mental state as soon as possible, which cannot be wrong.

Owen has 1 substitute and 1 start in the league, and his scoring is the lowest in the team.

Against Birmingham in the first round, Irving wasted a single shot created by Rooney's chest through.

And this campaign staged his debut, Owen missed Evra's cross from the right, and even responded to Brown's cross from the right. Owen, who is not tall but has always had good header skills This time, it also fell short of the standard and failed to correct the position.

Manchester United made one of the few high-quality crosses in the game. Owen can always appear in the correct position. It can be seen that his running awareness is still excellent, but he smells the ball with his sense of smell in front of the goal, but he can't touch it.

Owen's efficiency in seizing opportunities has never been as high as the legend, but counting the warm-up match, he has wasted seven or eight good chances to score goals one after another, which is by no means a normal level.

Irving's attitude is positive, and he has his share in retreating and pulling the side, but the loss of speed and lack of technique make him still timid when he takes the ball.

Ferguson introduced Owen, on the one hand, he was interested in the experience of the former Liverpool golden boy, and on the other hand, he was interested in Owen's speed, which can become the explosive point that Manchester United urgently needs.

However, Owen's speed is not good, and his ability to seize opportunities has also declined rapidly, which caused Ferguson a headache.

On this day, the media has begun to urge Ferguson to buy another striker, Daily Telegraph recommended three candidates, Aguero, Villa and Luca Toni.

Aguero and Villa are sky-high prices. Although Manchester United made a lot of money selling Ronaldo, after spending more than 30 million pounds to buy Berbatov last year, it is impossible to be on the front line this summer. Big deal.

Luca Toni is old and suffered from Irving, and Ferguson will no longer take risks on the veteran.

Therefore, Ferguson simply ignored the enthusiastic recommendation of the media.

At this moment, what Ferguson is watching is an edited video, which is a collection of Abang Lahor's game video edited by Manchester United's technical department.

Ferguson focused on Abanglaho's performance in these two rounds after the start of the new season.

Ferguson liked it more and more.

Abanglaho is often active on the right and center and can switch at any time.

But more often he appears as a right winger, using his own speed advantage to tear through the opponent's defense.

Generally speaking, fast forwards are not strong in physical confrontation, and Irving is an example.

However, Abang Raho's body is very strong.

This makes Abanglaho look like a small tank running at full speed when he starts up. A full-back with poor physical fitness can't stop him from moving forward even if the whole body hangs on him.

Although Abanglaho also has shortcomings, he is not a meticulous player.

But then again, if Agbonlahor is fast, strong, and skilled, it's not Gabriel Agbonlahor, it's Gabriel Ronaldo, abbreviated as Gro.

That's sky-high.

Therefore, if you think about it carefully, Abang Lahor turned out to be a very suitable candidate. Because of the account of the Premier League, the price is not cheap, but it will not be a sky-high price, and it is exactly the explosive point that Manchester United urgently needs now.

...

Manchester United want to buy Abanglaho!

The next day, as soon as he arrived at the head coach's office at Villa's training base, Fang Jue received a report.

Ferguson has taken a fancy to Abang Lahuo? Fang Jue was very surprised.

It's not that it's impossible for Ferguson to take a fancy to Abanglahuo. Fang Jue was surprised that there was no news about this incident before, and it was a sudden incident.

It's probably because of Irving's unsatisfactory performance. Ferguson has taken a fancy to the equally fast Abanglaho. Steven Warner said.

Mr. Clark told you to call him back at ten o'clock, Ceballos said.

I see. Fang Jue nodded.

After finishing the work at hand, Fang Jue called the club CEO Bob Clark back.

Fang Jue asked Bob to reply to Manchester United that Abanglahuo is not for sale and not for sale.

This time it's really not for sale.

Fang Jue didn't like Abang Lahuo at first, but after contact and observation during this period, Abang Lahuo's attitude in training and competition made him satisfied. This is a very hardworking young man.

Attitude matters.

In addition, Abanglahor's speed and impact are indeed what Aston Villa needs.

Among other things, only in terms of speed, Abang Lahor can even be said to be the fastest player in the Premier League.

There is also a very important point. Abang Laho is an Aston Villa youth training player, a native of Birmingham, and one of the representative players of this team. A team needs to have such roots Red player.

Therefore, Fang Jue's attitude towards Abang Lahuo is very clear: not for sale.

Strange to say, even though he had taken a fancy to Abang Lahuo before, he didn't pay attention to the fact that it was definitely not for sale. Now, after being targeted by Ferguson, Fang Jue felt more and more that this little calf, then It's really good, but it can't be sold.

...

On August 21, 2009, Inter Milan announced that it had reached an agreement with Real Madrid, and Dutch player Sneijder officially joined.

That is, in the afternoon of this day, Aston Villa Club also officially announced that they have loaned Portuguese star Ricardo Quaresma from the Serie A giants Inter Milan Club. The lease period is one year, and the lease agreement includes a mandatory buyout terms.

This transfer (loan) announcement also immediately caused a heated discussion in the English media.

The English media are generally not optimistic about Aston Villa's loan of Quaresma.

During the winter break last season, Chelsea also loaned Quaresma, but the performance of the Portuguese international was not satisfactory.

Under the former Portuguese national team coach Scolari, Quaresma's performance was very poor. The media and fans had already crossed Quaresma's Premier League future.

The British Daily Telegraph author Rory Smith made a prediction on Quaresma's future in Aston Villa: Why can he play well in Porto? Because the coach will treat him like a child. ...Will Fang Jue do this?

Rory Smith's words were pretty sweet.

BBC5's live broadcast guest and famous football commentator Tony Parker even criticized directly:

Is Fang Jue a fool? (Introducing Quaresma) This is an almost idiotic signing operation.

The gentleman said bluntly, everyone said that Fang Jue had a good eye for people, and now it seems that it is nothing more than that.

...

Is this guy all right?

Fang Jue said very unhappy.

He introduced Quaresma, of course he has his reasons.

Of course, the media can also comment on this and criticize it.

However, a bastard like Tony Parker has directly risen to a personal attack.

Didn't you be mentally prepared? Papa comforted her husband, Don't be angry, calm down.

Fang Jue snorted unhappily, I didn't expect to meet Pengci so soon.

Yes, it is Porcelain.

Fang Jue understood very well that he and Tony Parker had no grievances in the past and no hatred in the present. This guy directly fired at him. The fact is very simple and straightforward, that is, Fang Jue.

This is also the usual trick of many reporters and media people, among which the English media is the most active.

I think when Mourinho was in the Premier League, many guys gained fame and fortune by arguing with Mourinho.

Now, Mourinho's big mouth is gone, and Fang Jue is here.

Although Fang Jue is not a big mouther, but as the most popular champion marshal in European football, although his reputation is not as good as that of Mourinho, the problem is that he is handsome, which directly makes Fang Jue Influence climbed a level.

According to statistics, after Fang Jue coached Aston Villa, British female audiences watched Aston Villa games, and the number of searches for Aston Villa and Fang Jue on the Internet increased exponentially.

Talented and handsome.

This is popularity.

Therefore, there will naturally be people who come up to touch porcelain. This Tony Parker himself is also a well-known media person. He has always been known for his sharp words. It is not surprising that he finds Fangjue.

Actually, this is also a good thing. Papa said with a smile.

Tony Parker wanted to be more famous, so he chose Porcelain Fangjue.

Papa's theory is very straightforward. Instead of letting some unknown people touch porcelain, does it feel better for a fairly well-known media person like Tony Parker to touch porcelain?

Do you think Mourinho really has a bad relationship with the media? Papa asked Fang Jue, Don't look at the frequent quarrels between Mourinho and the media. In fact, neither of them can do without the other.

Aside from competitive factors, just talking about market value, without media quarrels, Mourinho's influence will be reduced by at least half, Papa said.
