The Glory of the Godfather

After the results of the Champions League round of 16 matches came out.

The media in each league has its own interpretation of this.

Gazzetta dello Sport believes that AC Milan has drawn Aston Villa, which can be regarded as the upper lottery for AC Milan who only qualified second in the group.

Yes, you read that right, Gazzetta dello Sport believes that the Rossoneri's draw to Aston Villa is the top draw!

reason?

In the eyes of the Italian media, AC Milan has successfully avoided Barcelona, ​​Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Chelsea, which is a good sign.

Although Aston Villa is the leader of the Premier League, this is a team with a positive style, but as a team that has won the Champions League seven times, AC Milan has a wealth of experience in the Champions League. What the new Champions League team lacks the most.” ——Italy La Repubblica.

Mr. Galliani, can you talk about your opinion on Milan's draw to Aston Villa?

Milanello training base, AC Milan club vice president Galliani was blocked by reporters in the parking lot.

Galliani has long been used to such things, facing the camera and the microphone, Galliani talked eloquently.

There is no doubt that Aston Villa are a top team. They have beaten Inter Milan twice in the group stage, but compared to other possible opponents, they are not the most difficult team to deal with.

The most important thing is that as long as we are ourselves, we don't need to care about who the opponent is.

Don't forget, Milan has the Champions League DNA.

Soon, Galliani's remarks were reported by the media and widely hyped.

Since winning the Champions League in Athens in 2007, AC Milan has maintained Galliani's self-proclaimed European Champions League DNA for nearly four seasons:

During the overall downturn in Serie A, they maintained a stable European record. Among them, only Inter Milan won the Champions League in the 2009/2010 season.

A reporter approached Fang Jue and asked him to talk about his views on the results of the lottery.

Fang Jue complimented AC Milan, We played against the Triple Crown Inter Milan in the group stage, and now we have met another team in Milan City. This is a giant team that has stood at the top of Europe seven times. , For such opponents, you must respect them, because they deserve any applause.

The reporter asked him to predict the outcome of the game.

Fang Jue refused, saying that he never liked to predict anything.

...

On December 18, in the 18th round of the Premier League, Aston Villa played away against Wigan Athletic.

In the first half of the game, Ballack assisted Mane to score.

In the second half of the game, Cuellar went down the wing, and the young central defender Coulibaly scored with a header.

Aston Villa beat Wigan Athletic 2-0 away.

Aston Villa also extended the team's unbeaten record to 43 games. They surpassed Nottingham Forest's unbeaten record of 42 games.

Now, in England, only Arsenal's unbeaten record of 49 games is left in front of them waiting for them to chase and surpass.

There were three upsets in this round of the league. Manchester City, the third place in the league, lost 1-2 at home to Everton; Blackpool defeated Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 at home.

In addition, in a focus game, Chelsea defeated Manchester United 2-1 at home.

Ancelotti also indirectly helped Fang Jue.

Because of Manchester United's loss, Aston Villa is already 10 points ahead of the second-placed Manchester United in the standings.

However, Ferguson refused to admit that Manchester United had missed the league title in advance. He said that the season is still very long and Manchester United's goal of competing for the title will not change.

We were 12 points behind Newcastle, and we all came back to win the championship in the end. Therefore, the 10-point difference is nothing at all. The old Scottish man said.

In the 1995/1996 season, Manchester United recaptured the Premier League title, and it was done when they were 12 points behind Newcastle.

Ferguson not only won a big victory in the psychological warfare with Keegan, but also slapped Alan Hansen in the face when he was not optimistic, and won back the Premier League relying on a group of children.

I think it is necessary for Fang Jue to talk to Keegan and share his experience on how to keep the lead in the lead. Ferguson also said.

It's really a pity that this old man has never been beaten with such a bad mouth.

Fang Jue cursed.

He wasn't too angry. If you were serious about Ferguson's psychological provocation, you would be fooled.

Moreover, Fang Jue feels that the people who are most angry now must be the people of Newcastle and Keegan. It has been more than ten years ago. Ferguson opened the coffin and flogged the corpse, which is too much.

Golden Ball striker trident! - The Times used this headline to report the impact of Ronaldinho's joining Astonville.

Ronaldo was the two-time European Ballon d'Or in 1997 and 2002.

Andriy Shevchenko was the 2004 European Ballon d'Or.

Ronaldinho was the 2005 European Ballon d'Or.

A day later, in the 19th round of the Premier League, Aston Villa played against Tottenham Hotspur at home.

In the VIP box at the Villa Park Stadium, representatives of brands such as Nike, Coca-Cola, Danone, Hyundai Motor, and some thought raised their glasses to celebrate.

These brands are the last ones to see Ronaldinho return to play in Brazil. Only by staying in the top European leagues and the Champions League can Ronaldinho’s influence and market value be maximized embodiment.

This is why these brands are willing to jointly contribute to supplement Ronaldinho's salary.

Ronaldinho received a maximum weekly salary of 80,000 pounds in the team at Aston Villa, which is still far from Ronaldinho's salary requirements, and these gaps are made up by the joint funding of these brands.

Not only that, because Ronaldinho joined Aston Villa, Coca-Cola and Danone, the sponsoring brands behind him, are also negotiating commercial cooperation with Aston Villa.

It can be said that Ronaldinho's joining Aston Villa is a win-win situation for all parties.

Or, to put it more bluntly, although Aston Villa has to offer Ronaldinho a maximum salary, Aston Villa earns much more from Ronaldinho.

There is a data, in the very short time after the announcement of Ronaldinho's Aston Villa No. 80 jersey number and the release of the new jersey, fans' orders for Ronaldinho's No. 80 Aston Villa new jersey have reached more than 11,000 pieces.

As for why it didn't sell more, because the stock was out of stock...
