The Glory of the Godfather

The snow is getting bigger and bigger, Ceballos said.

The hat Fang Jue was wearing was covered with snow, and he nodded worriedly.

This is the twentieth round of the Premier League, Aston Villa's home game against Wigan Athletic.

Just happened to encounter the Blizzard that Birmingham has not seen in recent years.

What Fang Jue was worried about was not whether Aston Villa could win the game. The second half of the game had just started. At this time, the score on the field was already 3-0, and Aston Villa was leading.

Mane passed and shot.

Lewandowski headed twice past Habsi's goal.

As we were talking, Aston Villa's fourth goal came.

The fourth goal was Milner's long-range shot. The angle of this shot was not good.

Wigan Athletic's goalkeeper Habsey saw the orange-red football wrapped in snowflakes flying towards his eyes in the snowflakes, and it was too late to react.

This goal is also Milner's first goal in the league this season.

Fang Jue's most trusted England international has assisted three times before and has yet to score.

With a score of four to zero, it can be said that the victory has been decided.

Fang Jue is worried that the cold weather will cause injuries to players.

His worry is not unreasonable. In cold weather, the elasticity and extensibility of the muscles, tendons and ligaments of the human body will decrease, and the viscosity of the muscles will also increase, which will reduce the range of joint activities and make players more likely to be injured. .

...

In the 72nd minute of the game, Modric and Wigan Athletic's midfielder McCarthy collided and fell to the ground in the fight, and the Croatian let out a scream.

Fuck!

Fang Jue cursed.

Aston Villa's team doctor rushed into the field.

Then Fang Jue saw the team doctor make the gesture he didn't want to see: Substitution.

Modric was replaced due to injury and Pogba was ready to come off the bench.

Warm up, warm up fully! Assistant coach Werner shouted loudly. In cold weather, if the warm-up is not sufficient, the probability of injury will be greatly increased.

A few minutes later, Pogba came on as a substitute.

How is the situation? Fang Jue asked the team doctor Modric.

It is conservatively estimated to rest for a month. The team doctor said, However, the specific situation depends on the results of the CT scan.

Fang Jue breathed a sigh of relief. The one-month injury was still within the range he could bear. He was really shocked when he saw Modric’s painful expression just now, and he even had the mentality of Modric’s season reimbursement. get ready.

In the subsequent game, another player was injured, but it was not Aston Villa's side, but Wigan Athletic's Scottish defender MacArthur.

MacArthur had just come off the bench not long ago. Obviously, the Scot didn't warm up enough, once he stopped the ball and strained himself without confrontation, and fell to the ground in pain.

This is not a small blow to Wigan Athletic, they have used up three substitution places.

Aston Villa took advantage of their numbers to score another goal at the end of the game. Thornton, who came off the bench, sent a very beautiful and well-placed pass, and Vardy made it on the goal line overnight.

In the end, in this game, Aston Villa beat Wigan Athletic 5-0 at home.

On the second day after the game, Fang Jue immediately got Modric's inspection report.

Medial collateral ligament sprain, explained Dr. Osoralana. Better than expected. Yesterday we suspected he had a fractured ankle. He didn't.

How long will it take to return to the court? Fang Jue asked immediately, this was his biggest concern.

Training can be resumed in about fifteen days. If the recovery is good, it is optimistic that I can play in three weeks. Osoralana said.

Fang Jue nodded in satisfaction.

This is how people are. When Modric was injured, Fang Jue worried that it was a serious injury. He was relieved when he heard the team doctor said that he would be out for a month. Now he heard Dr. Osoralana said that it would only take three weeks. He felt as if he had made a big deal.

...

In the last game of 2012, Aston Villa beat Wigan Athletic 5-0, which also drew a relatively satisfactory end to their 2012.

However, Aston Villa's 5-0 thrashing was stolen by another game.

Arsenal thrashed Newcastle 7-3 at home in their last game of 2012.

The Times even used bloody massacre to describe Arsenal's brutality.

The professor went berserk?

Fang Jue was amazed. Arsenal has been a bit brutal recently. In the seventeenth round of the league, they beat Reading 5-2 away. In the last round of the league, they beat West Ham United 5-1 at home. This round is even more 7-3. Newcastle.

Generally speaking, Arsenal started the berserk mode after March.

This is more than three months ahead of schedule.

As Wenger's good friend, Fang Jue naturally called the professor immediately to congratulate him.

Then, three days later, on the first day of 2013, Arsenal in berserk mode came to a screeching halt as they were held to a 1-1 draw away at Southampton.

Wenger: ...!

...

That wasn't the only upset this round of the league.

Chelsea lost 1-0 at home to Queens Park Rangers.

A few hours later, Chelsea's official website announced the dismissal of coach Di Matteo.

In fact, Di Matteo was almost sacked on the spot when Chelsea were eliminated from the Champions League group stage.

Chelsea managed to qualify for the Champions League as the defending champion. Abramovich's ambition is to break the curse of no one defends the title after the restructuring of the Champions League. .

However, Abramovich's assistants are rumored to persuade him to wait and see:

Be patient, boss, maybe we can really develop a Chelsea Fangjue.

According to the media, Abramovich nodded and agreed to give Di Matteo a 'respite'.

However, Di Matteo's subsequent leadership performance was still very poor. This upset loss to Queens Park Rangers at home became the trigger for his dismissal.

The London media generally welcomed Di Matteo's dismissal.

Looking at Chelsea's experience of firing coaches in the past, it seems that they will not get a bad result. In September 2007, Grant replaced Mourinho. As a result, Chelsea reached the final of the Champions League.

Interim coach Hiddink replaced Scolari in 2009 and helped the team win the FA Cup at the end of the season.

Last season, Di Matteo replaced Villas-Boas and led the team to win the Champions League and the FA Cup double.

They expect Chelsea's coaching change this time to achieve immediate results again.

Fang Jue made a special call to comfort Di Matteo.

Aston Villa were held to a 0-0 draw by Chelsea in the second leg last season.

In the first leg of the season, Aston Villa were held to a 1-1 draw by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

Fang Jue was very impressed with Di Matteo and Chelsea under him.

The match between Aston Villa and Swansea is the latest match in the 21st round of the Premier League.

In the end, Aston Villa reversed and defeated Swansea 3-1 away.

Ibrahimovic scored twice and had an assist in the game, playing a phenomenal performance.

After the game, Ibrahimovic updated his personal social account information: Omnipotent Zlatan, (you guys) Worship!

...

January 2nd.

November 21st of the lunar calendar.

Boshin day.

It is suitable for opening a business, getting engaged, getting married, and getting a certificate.

Fang Jue chose to krypton gold [green scout card] on this day.

Please select the position of the player.

Center defender.

Please select the nationality of the player.

Fang Jue thought about it and chose the European Chinese team.

Since 2010, the Premier League officially introduced local player training rules. England initiated this policy in order to cultivate its own young talented players and promote the cultivation of domestic elites.

Now that the Premier League account book is becoming more and more valuable, every team in the Premier League with some ideas and ambitions is desperately hoarding local English players.

Aston Villa currently have six homegrown players in their squad:

No. 3 goalkeeper Elliott Parris;

Kyle Walker, Danny Rose, Siren Clarke and Milner, and Vardy on the front line.

Aston Villa's English native players are quite satisfactory among the Premier League teams, not too many, not too few.

For example, there are even as many as 13 native English players in Manchester United's first team this season.

Arsenal, on the other hand, have only five English players.

Fang Jue chose local players from England mainly out of consideration for the development of Aston Villa.

From the perspective of football culture and integration into the team, youth training\u003ehukou\u003eforeign players, if it is youth training + hukou, it is the best. This adapts to the entire league culture, the degree of club recognition, centripetal force, Loyalty is very high.

What's more, having more local players in the team will also promote the support of more fans.

Two players with similar characteristics and similar strength, local players are definitely worth more than foreign players, and they are more popular with fans.

Well, the account book is important (high net worth).

Local fans and the media also have a higher degree of recognition for players with registered permanent residence. Generally speaking, if two players have similar performances, registered permanent residence is more favored by fans and the media.

Of course, the most important thing is that the number of Aston Villa's household registration is close to the warning line, otherwise Fang Jue would not have mentioned Elliott Parris of the reserve team as the third goal of the first team. of.

Fang Jue must put the expansion of the introduction of registered players on the agenda, no, to be precise, he has to put it into action.

Then, Fang Jue saw the player information provided by the system.

John Stones...

...

Fang Jue picked up the handset of the landline phone at work, Notify Mr. Cox to come to my office.

Okay, boss. Said the female secretary full of air.

Kidd Cox is the head of scouting for Aston Villa in the home region of England.

Kidd, Barnsley's young central defender John Stones, talk about this young man. Fang Jue said.

Cox didn't answer right away. He thought for a while and stroked his train of thought, I have an impression of this young man. Someone has submitted a report on him. However, the scouting team is not very optimistic about this young man.

Why? Fang Jue frowned and asked.

Stones is too thin, Cox said, recalling some information about the young man in his head. He is tall, 73 inches (186 cm), but only weighs 150 pounds (68 kg). The body, the ability to resist is not enough.

That's why you gave up following Stones? Fang Jue was angry.

There is another reason. Cox said, We noticed that this young man likes to stick to the ball, he is not decisive in handling the ball, well, there are some minor problems, maybe it is nothing in other positions, but, in the center In the position of defender, these bad habits can be fatal.

Speaking of which, Cox made a movement of turning around and pulling the ball to protect the ball.

I remember that in a report submitted by Francisco, Stones had three turns in the penalty area to protect the ball in one game, which is very dangerous. Cox said more and more energy, he can naturally see it The meaning of the boss looking for him is that the boss is optimistic about Stones.

Fang Jue was optimistic about Stones, but the scouting team gave up the player with a cross. This was a mistake in the scouting team's work.

Although no scouting department can guarantee that their vision is always accurate, in fact, the scouting department can ensure an accuracy rate of more than 50%, which is very awesome.

It's just that it doesn't matter if you make a mistake at work, but if you happen to be 'caught by the boss', there is a problem.

However, Cox does not think it is their work mistakes. He is a standard technical nerd with low emotional intelligence, which can be said to be a bit stubborn.

Cox does not think that it was a wrong decision for the local scouting department in charge of him to give up tracking Stones. They came to the conclusion after analysis and observation, which is well-founded.

The body is thin, the youngsters are growing their bodies, that's not a problem.

I like to stick to the ball and not decisive. These habits can be changed.

Besides, liking to stick to the ball shows that the player has good skills at his feet. He is very confident in his skills at his feet. If such a player is cultivated, he can be a central defender.

Boss, I admit that what you said has some truth. Cox said, However, I still insist on my judgment on this young man.

Very well, I like your attitude of insisting on your own judgment. Fang Jue nodded.

Cox was surprised, Boss, are you not angry?

Why should I be angry? Fang Jue said with a smile, As a technical department, it's a good thing that you can stick to your own opinions, as long as you are not perfunctory, and come to a conclusion after team analysis and discussion, It's qualified work.

But, Stones...

The matter of Stones is an exception. Fang Jue said, This is not a mistake in your work. If it were someone else, they might be confused by illusions.

The boss of Aston Villa stepped back tactically, This guy is lucky and was discovered by me.

I still don't like Stones very much, Cox said.

Fang Jue glanced at this guy, are all technical geeks with this EQ?

Then let's wait and see. Fang Jue said with a faint smile and confidence (pretending to be compared).
