The Glory of the Godfather

Diego, did you know that Ronaldinho is going to join Aston Villa? Jorge Mendes asked.

Ronaldinho came to Villa? Costa was very surprised, he shook his head, I don't know, are you sure?

It's confirmed, Mendes said. The transfer talks are done, they just haven't been announced yet.

Costa was silent. He believed that the news was true based on Mendes' status and connections in football.

This news made Costa a little hurt. Fang Jue had just talked to him and said that he valued him. Then he turned around and learned that Villa was going to introduce Ronaldinho.

A big-name star like Ronaldinho will definitely not be on the bench when he comes to Villa.

This is tantamount to Aston Villa's already highly competitive offensive line, and the competition is even more intense.

The team may have a reason to introduce Ronaldinho, but for Costa personally, this is not good news.

He believes what Fang Jue said, that he will become a very important player for Aston Villa in the future, but he doesn't want the future, he wants the present.

Costa feels that his current state and strength are enough to be worthy of a fixed starting position.

He didn't want to keep waiting.

How do you think about it? Mendes asked. If you want to get more playing opportunities and want to go to a new environment, I can help you operate.

I don't know. Costa shook his head. He still has some feelings for Aston Villa. The team's momentum is quite good now. This is a team on the rise.

He doesn't want to leave if he can start and become an important part of the team.

However, the current status quo and the possible impact of Ronaldinho's joining made him hesitate again.

Saying I don't know is an attitude.

Okay, I understand. Mendes patted Costa's shoulder, I will help you pay attention, it is not necessary to transfer and leave, but if your situation does not improve, I will come to operate.

Costa glanced at Mendes in surprise, Jorge, I thought you would persuade me to stay at Villa.

Why do you think so?

You and the boss are friends, and I heard that Marina has a good relationship with the boss's family, Costa said.

Okay, it's decided. Mendes' face suddenly changed, Fang Jue that guy doesn't value you, and some teams are rushing to get you!

Costa opened his mouth, not knowing why Mendes got angry suddenly.

Don't look at his peculiar style on the court, but off the court, Costa is actually a guy with a very good personality, not so perverse.

I don't know about you. Mendes waved his hand, However, Diego, there is one thing I want to remind you.

you say.

Whether you stay at Villa or leave in the future, your attitude on the training ground and on the field should not change, and you must even work harder. Mendes looked serious, My Mendes players cannot be called unprofessional , even if we leave, don't make such a mess.

I see.

...

The most important focus of the sixteenth round of the Premier League is Aston Villa's away game against the Red Army Liverpool.

Although judging from the league rankings, Aston Villa ranks first in the league with 37 points, while Liverpool ranks ninth in the league with 19 points, and their points are almost half of Aston Villa's.

However, the media is not overwhelmingly optimistic about Aston Villa's away win.

There is only one reason, this game is Liverpool's home game, and Anfield Stadium is definitely one of the most terrifying home games in the Premier League.

In fact, Liverpool has always been a hard bone for Fang Jue's Aston Villa.

In the league last season, when Aston Villa played against Liverpool, they achieved a record of one win and one draw.

From the record point of view, it is not bad, but the game process is very difficult.

Aston Villa narrowly beat Liverpool 3-2 away in the third round of the league.

In that game, a Togolese player named Salif was achieved.

This Aston Villa's substitute player flew up in this game and scored twice to help Aston Villa win a valuable victory from Anfield.

Then, Salif was bought by Manchester City for 15 million pounds.

In Manchester City, Salif's performance was quite poor. He played 15 games in the following season and scored one goal. In the subsequent summer transfer window, he was sold to Newcastle by Manchester City for 5 million pounds. .

The media later jokingly described it as if Salif used all his football talents to bloom in this game, just to sell himself to Manchester City and make Fang Jue a lot of money.

Then in the 20th round of the league, Aston Villa was tied 1-1 by Liverpool at home.

It was Ashley Young who scored for Aston Villa!

Seeing Ashley Young's outstanding performance, Manchester United coach Ferguson abruptly paid 26.5 million pounds. After the game, he bought Ashley Young away.

In fact, one game was three to two and one game was one to one. Aston Villa's two games against Liverpool last season did not have an absolute chance of winning.

Therefore, the media is more cautious when predicting the match between Aston Villa and Liverpool.

The Guardian even asked humorously based on the story of last season:

Aston Villa faced Liverpool twice last season. Two players performed well and then were sold for a lot of money.

Whose turn is it to pay the price (transfer fee) this time?

In addition, there is one more thing to watch in this game.

If Aston Villa can not lose at Anfield Stadium, they will surpass Chelsea's 40 unbeaten games and create their own 41-round unbeaten record in the Premier League!

A large number of media poured into Liverpool.

The official has also announced that the match between Aston Villa and Liverpool will be the live broadcast of this round of the Premier League for the world.

The war is imminent.

Fang Jue naturally attached great importance to this game.

All of Aston Villa's healthy players were brought to Liverpool by him.

In the last game against Birmingham, Fang Jue carried out a large rotation, just for this game to desperate against Liverpool.

Liverpool paid more attention to this game. Earlier, L'Equipe delisted Liverpool and added Aston Villa to the Premier League BIG4. This has caused an uproar and strong dissatisfaction among the Liverpool media and fans.

In this game, Liverpool even meant to 'fight for honor', and they wanted to tell everyone with their actions:

Although Liverpool is temporarily down, it is not something that a little bastard like Aston Villa can bully.

In an interview with the media, Liverpool coach Hodgson expressed confidence to the media that in this game, Liverpool will definitely be able to beat Aston Villa at home. Apart from this, he will not accept any other results.

... winning is the goal, my players are in good shape, my team is in good shape, the fans are looking forward to winning, everything says 'ready', yes, this game, we're ready Already!

Hodgson was so confident that the local Liverpool newspaper even used words like 'Liverpool's pride' to describe the determination and confidence of the head coach, thinking that he is a truly proud Liverpool man at this time, There is bone and dignity.

Fang Jue didn't take Hodgson's words to heart when he was interviewed later, I don't want to say anything more. Winning is everyone's wish. He made a wish. It's nothing, it's normal.

Fang Jue spread his hands to the reporters, After the game, everything will be decided.

Fang Jue really didn't understand how confident Hodgson was when he said that he would definitely win Aston Villa.

Liverpool's lineup is not weak. The goalkeeper is the reliable Reina. The defense has tough guys like Skrtel and Carragher. A model worker like Yi Te.

With such a strong lineup, the points are now only half of Aston Villa's, ranking ninth, and they still want to kill Aston Villa?

Fang Jue really wanted to ask Hodgson, who gave him such courage...

...

Fang Jue was not in the mood to argue with Hodgson before the game: this man was not a threat to him, and he had no time to pay attention to it.

However, Hodgson is quite active.

Half a day before the start of the game, Hodgson said something to stimulate Aston Villa in an interview with the BBC.

Liverpool are the best at preventing others from breaking records. This night may make Villa sad, but this is football.

Fang Jue really wanted to give Hodgson a yah bah.

Ignore you, are you still addicted?

In the end, Fang Jue still ignored it, he was too lazy to move his mouth, anyway, the game was about to happen, and the real story was on the field.

The lights are on.

On the way through the Anfield stadium, the red tide surged.

The home team Liverpool is red, and the away team Aston Villa is also red.

Therefore, if you look down from a high altitude, you will see a red wave, like a fiery lava, heading towards the brightly lit Anfield.

In this game, the local police in Liverpool are also on the verge of a formidable enemy.

A police car was parked on the side of the road, and three police officers were standing in front of the car chatting.

It's all the Frenchman's fault, said a young policeman, yawning.

There was no enmity between Liverpool and Aston Villa. It was the L'Equipe that caused the incident, which directly provoked the scolding between Liverpool fans and Aston Villa fans, and the smell of gunpowder became stronger.

Yeah, the French are the worst. One of his two partners, a middle-aged fat man, said, During World War II, they were the first to surrender.

French is not a good thing. Another older policeman was working on the car radio, and said, But, to be honest, it is really uncomfortable to see the people of Villa in this way.

Yeah, they're still trying to value the players on us. The youngest policeman muttered.

Ask for a monthly ticket, thank you.
