Hanging up the phone, Victoria frowned slightly in thought.

She understood the meaning of the call.

In fact, in Rita. Wilson called her and told her that when he contacted the owner of the call, he informed Victoria of the other party's identity.

The status of the wife of the Aston Villa manager does not impress Victoria.

It's Rita. Wilson named the other person as the mysterious boss behind Aston Villa, which was not a big deal in Victoria's eyes.

However, on the other end of the phone, Tom Hanks suddenly interjected, vaguely indicating that the identity of the other party is not so simple, and it is always beneficial to get to know each other, which makes Victoria have more eyes.

She knows that as Tom Hanks, she will naturally not be untargeted.

Therefore, in the face of the lady's question asking her husband Beckham whether he intended to play football at Aston Villa, although his first reaction was to refuse, Victoria did not refuse directly, but tactfully said that he would consider it carefully and discuss it with her husband.

Now, Victoria is thinking about how to reject the other party more decently.

David Beckham noticed his wife's expression, "What's wrong, Victoria?" ”

"Rita. A friend introduced by Wilson had just spoken to the lady on the phone. ”

"Say what?" Beckham nodded.

"The mysterious rich woman who bought Aston Villa is also the wife of the Villa manager."

"Huh? What is she looking for from you? ”

Victoria smiled: "What else can happen?" Villa, for their part, want you to join. ”

The two men were attending a business event in New York, and at this time, they had already arrived at the scene.

Fans and reporters waiting at the scene saw the Beckhams, and the scene immediately became commotionous.

"David!"

"David!"

The most people who came to the scene were female fans, desperately shouting for David. David Beckham's name.

Beckham stopped talking to his wife and waved his hand, and the afternoon sun of New York shone on Bei Shuai's face, as if it was covered with a layer of pale golden light, which made the charm of this mature man even more attractive, causing the women on the scene to scream.

"What do you think, David?" Victoria asked.

"Help me refuse, I've decided to go to Milan." Beckham said.

Victoria nodded, she had already figured out how to reply, and said that she had already negotiated with Milan, sorry or something.

Of course, if she hadn't received any more calls from Birmingham.

Victoria was tired of the bad weather in England, no, to be more precise, she liked New York, Los Angeles or the fashion capitals of New York and Paris.

In Victoria's view, only London was a big city in England, but it was clear that David could not have gone to London.

As for Birmingham, even the UK's second largest city is a country country in Victoria's eyes.

Birmingham.

"How?" Fang Jue asked.

"That lady Victoria is shrewd." Papa frowned, "She actually wanted to refuse, but it's hard to say it directly." ”

Fang Jue kissed his wife's cheek, "It's okay, it's okay if Beckham comes or not, you have to believe in my ability." ”

Papa pursed her lips and smiled, "It's not what you think, that woman is just more greedy than I thought." ”

As he spoke, Papa hugged her husband from behind, rubbed it affectionately, and pressed heavily on Fang Jue's back, resting.

"It's just a matter of getting a little more resources." "This is a very shrewd woman, and she knows how to measure things. ”

Fang Jue understood a little, "Tom Hanks's family has a good relationship with the family? ”

"Not bad, right?" Papa squeezed her eyes, "My family is in the United States, well, I have a little bit of connections in Hollywood." ”

October 5th.

In the 8th round of the English Premier League, Aston Villa hosted Manchester City.

This game is also the highlight of this round of the Premier League.

Aston Villa and Manchester City are two of the most talked-about non-traditional giants in the Premier League this season.

The reason why Aston Villa is on the spotlight is simple, the transfer of ownership of the club has ushered in a handsome young coach in Europe's hot spot.

Manchester City, on the other hand, are notable for their spending in the transfer market.

The English media generally believe that Manchester City now have the strength to challenge for a top-four finish in the league.

Although it is only on paper, it is already worthy of attention.

And ahead of this round, the standings are particularly interesting.

After drawing with Blackburn Rovers in the last round of the league, Aston Villa are seventh in the league with 14 points.

Manchester City are sixth in the league with 15 points, above Aston Villa.

The third-place Arsenal in the league and the fourth-place Liverpool in the league also have 15 points, which shows the stalemate in the standings, and the ideal result is that whoever wins this game can basically enter the top four.

Even given that the top two teams in the league, Manchester United and Chelsea, have only 18 points, and in the most extreme case, Manchester City could even climb to the top of the league table for the first time if Chelsea and Manchester United both lose this round.

Therefore, for this game, Manchester City attaches great importance to it.

Before the game, it was reported that Manchester City's boss Sheikh Mansour would personally attend the game at Villa Park.

The Sun even broke the news that if Manchester City could win the game and finish in the top four in history, the generous owner would throw at least £1 million in additional bonuses and invite the whole team to his luxury yacht.

And in the media, it is also generally optimistic that Manchester City will win away from home.

Judging from the odds of major betting institutions, they are also one-sided optimistic about Manchester City winning Aston Villa.

……

Villa Park Stadium.

Players from both sides have already played.

The list of players is being broadcast on the spot.

The live footage of the game also showed the starting line-ups and substitute lists of both sides.

The 18-man squad for home team Aston Villa explains why City are so flamboyant to think they can take the three points at Villa Park.

Aston Villa:

Goalkeeper: 31-Roberto. Enke;

Backline: 20-Leo. Cork, 24-Cuellar, 15-Davies, 7-Milner;

Midfielders: 5-Clement, 4-Sidwell, 21-Quaresma, 7-Ashley Young;

Forwards: 9-Ruud van Nistelrooy, 11-Abonlahov;

'Aston Villa's right-back Luke Young is injured and has a week to go. Cork had to come in at right-back. ”

"At left-back, Bouma was suspended, and Fang Jue did not choose to use the young Oh Loran, but let midfielder James Milner come as a cameo at left-back."

'In midfield, with Deisler out injured, Petrov out injured, Milner going to left-back, Fang Jue lined up Clemente Sidwell-Quaresma Ashleyan. Lineker stomped and didn't know what words to use to describe the midfield configuration.

"Lack of organisation, only hardness in the middle, the two wings only know rough straight up and down, and only think of finding opportunities to shoot from a distance." Tony Parker shook his head, "This midfielder, it's bad. ”

The Aston Villa fans in front of the TV heard this and were so angry that they wanted to jump up and hit someone.

"And on the front line, Vanney has already used two games as a substitute to prove that he is old, but I didn't expect Fang Jue to intensify today and give him a start, tsk." Tony Parker continued.

"Tony, don't hurt your mouth so much, be careful that you go to Birmingham and get beaten by the Villa fans." John. Mortensen also 'can't stand it'," he said.

"If you look at the list of substitutes, you can see how miserable this Villa team is now."

The camera swept over the Aston Villa bench: 1-Friedel, 29-O'Halloran, 6-Senderos, 16-Koulibaly, 23-Silen. Clark, 12-Albrighton, 28-Nathan. Del Fonso;

Seven substitutes, a goalkeeper, a full-back, three centre-backs for a total of four defenders, then Academy youngster Albrighton playing in the right midfield position, plus an 18-year-old youth striker Nathan Nathan who was temporarily transferred from the youth team. Del Fonsau.

In this way, Fang Jue barely managed to get together the seven places on the bench.

Yes, it's that miserable, without drawing people from the youth team, without four defenders to make up the number, Aston Villa can't make up the 18-man squad.

……

Away dugout.

Manchester City manager Mark Hughes crossed his legs and he was in a good mood.

The team's recent results have risen, and the points are the same as that of Arsenal in fourth place, and a small step forward is the top four, and one step further will not be without a chance to sit in the league leader's position.

This put Hughes in a pretty good mood.

And then turn your head to look over, see the sad face of the guy in the home team's coach's box, look at the remnants of Aston Villa on the field, and look at the crooked melons and cracks on the Aston Villa bench.

Then turn your head and look at the Manchester City bench, De Jong, Bellamy, Santa Cruz, Zabaleta, Kompany, etc., these players all want to get more chances.

He also has to think about who to play and who to give him a few more minutes of playing time.

Hey, there are too many good players, and it's annoying.

The beauty in Mark Hughes's heart......

It's moisturizing.

He only felt that his life had never been so happy as it was now.
