Chapter 780: King of Europe (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

After officially announcing his retirement, Enke talked about his previous serious mental illness for the first time in an interview.

He hopes that his special experience can inspire more people with depression and other psychiatric illnesses and help more people return to normal life.

At this moment, hearing Enke open his heart and say this, the scene was quiet.

"I want to thank little Leila, your arrival has made me realize that life is so precious and should be cherished."

'I would like to thank my team-mates at Aston Villa and Germany, you are the best team-mates and it is an honour and pride to work with you.

"I want to thank my coach Mr. Fang Jue, at Villa I am very happy, I have found the joy of football again, I have found the joy of life, thank you, boss."

The camera gave Fang Jue, and he gave a thumbs up to Enke, meaning that you are also the best.

"I once had a nightmare, one cold morning, I was so desperate, my heart and body were wrapped in a gray that I couldn't struggle, I gave up, I lay on the cold railroad tracks, watching him roar...... At that moment, I seemed to see Lana, and my sweetheart asked me, what should my mother do? ”

There were exclamations from the scene.

Then I woke up, and that morning I kissed my wife, Teresa, and said sorry to her, for she didn't know why, and that I had been selfish and wanted to leave, leaving her alone in the world...... I'm ashamed of it, even if it's just a nightmare. ”

Off the field, Theresa had already covered her face and wept.

"That day, in the morning training, I was very serious, the boss asked me curiously what was wrong, I hugged him directly, said thank you, thank you for making me love football again, love work, love life, the boss was stunned." Enke wiped the corners of his eyes and smiled.

Fang Jue smiled and was surprised, he remembered this, he was really surprised at the time, he didn't know what kind of wind this guy was smoking.

The German goalkeeper was already in tears, he wiped his tears, he held up the trophy for the best goalkeeper in his hand, "Very good trophy, I love football, I love life, and I hope everyone can be happy, happy, thank you." ”

Off the field, Teresa couldn't cry anymore.

Roberto. Enke hugged little Leila and left the stage with the trophy, and in an instant, huge applause rang out, and many people's eyes were moist.

Roberto. Enke hugged his wife, Teresa, and he whispered in her ear, "Honey, I just heard Lana say that she is proud of us and that she is happy in heaven. ”

"Dad, you're crying." At this time, little Leila suddenly probed and said.

……

Pot 1 was drawn and Aston Villa, the reigning Champions League champions and reigning Premier League champions, are the well-seeded team in Pot 1.

Manchester United were the first to be drawn in Group C, while Porto were drawn in Group G.

Real Madrid were drawn in Group D and Chelsea were drawn in Group E.

Bayern were drawn in Group A and Inter Milan were drawn in Group B.

Last season's Champions League runners-up Barcelona were drawn in Group H and Aston Villa were drawn in Group F.

Prior to the draw for the second-tier teams, UEFA presented the best defenders from last season's Champions League team.

In the end, Alves (Barcelona), Pique (Barcelona), Senderos (Aston Villa) and Milner (Aston Villa) were selected for the best defender team.

Four defenders, half split between two teams on both sides in the final.

Among them, Senderos won the award for the best defender.

When the Swiss guard took the stage to accept the award, he also made a speech, thanking his teammates, especially Fang Jue.

'When I left Arsenal to join Aston Villa, I didn't think I would one day be on this great podium, and at Villa I got a new lease on life, thank you, boss.

The camera first gave Fang Jue a close-up, and he was applauding.

He also gave Senderos's former mentor Wenger, and the professor was also applauding, although he had regrets in his heart and was a little sour, but he was really happy to see this young man he had cultivated by himself come out of the haze.

The second bracket team is led by Bobby. Sir Charlton came to pull it out.

Bobby. Charlton drew Lyon first with Real Madrid, and among the strong teams in Pot 2, Benfica and Manchester United were in a group, and AC Milan and Barcelona were in a group.

Marseille were drawn to a group with Aston Villa.

……

The draw for Pot 3 was preceded by the presentation of the midfielders of last season's Champions League Team of the Year.

Named in the Champions League midfielder of the season were Deisler (Aston Villa), Clement (Aston Villa) and Xavi (Barcelona).

Among them, Barcelona midfielder Xavi was named the best midfielder.

This is debatable.

Fang Jue pouted, of course he thought that his players were the most qualified to win the award, whether it was Clement or Deisler, they were even more qualified.

The teams in the third pot were drawn by Ruud Gullit, and Manchester City, who received the most attention from the teams in the third pot, were directly placed in Group A because Manchester City were drawn lower and had to avoid the other three Premier League teams, and Ligue 1 champions Lille were drawn in the Inter Milan group.

Greek side Olympiacos were drawn from Group F where Aston Villa are located.

The draw for the fourth-tier teams was preceded by the award of last season's Champions League striker team.

Named in the best striker team in last season's Champions League was Gareth. Gareth Bale (Aston Villa), Messi (Barcelona), Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid).

Yes, in the official UEFA squad selection, Bale was placed in the forward position.

"Gareth. Bel. "The presenter announced the winners of the best striker.

Bell waved his fist very happily, and then came over to hug Fang Jue.

After the Welsh youngster took the stage to accept the award, he also made a speech, and like his previous teammates, he also thanked his teammates and family, especially his coach Fang Jue.

"When I came to Villa, it was the low point of my career, I was so confused that I didn't even know why the coach had taken a fancy to me.

"The coach encouraged me and I still remember what the coach said to me, he told me that I would have a great career."

"Thank you, boss." Bell shook his trophy and said.

Fang Jue smiled and clapped his hands, giving him a thumbs up again.

The other coaches on the scene all looked at Fang Jue with complicated expressions.

Whether it is Enke, Senderos, or Bale, they all encountered their own troubles before being favored by Fang Jue and joining Aston Villa, but when they arrived under Fang Jue, these players immediately began to shine.

I have to admit that this guy is lucky, of course, he has a better eye for people and is also very good at developing players.

……

The teams in the fourth pot were drawn by German football legend Mateus.

In the fourth bracket, Borussia Dortmund, the reigning champion of the Bundesliga, is the most eye-catching.

It can be said bluntly that whichever group Dortmund enters, which group directly becomes the group of death.

In the end, Dortmund were drawn from Group F where Aston Villa were located.

There was a burst of laughter from the scene.

UEFA urine is known to everyone for a long time.

Obviously, Dortmund's draw from Aston Villa is definitely not a surprise.

The match between Aston Villa and Borussia Dortmund had many gimmicks that directly increased the interest of fans.

In the Dortmund team, there are three veterans of Fang Jue, Reuss, Hummels and Lewandowski.

Even more bluntly, there is only a topic between Dortmund and these seeded teams, and only with Aston Villa, and no one believes it if it is a coincidence.

Fang Jue was also secretly scolding in his heart, Dortmund came to Group F, this group can be said to be an absolute group of death.

Aston Villa, Marseille, Olympiacos and Borussia Dortmund.

Of course, in Fang Jue's heart, the group of death is for the other three teams, and the three teams competing for a place in the qualification are bound to be very miserable.

Aston Villa's group qualification, Fang Jue is not worried, but by UEFA's arrangement, Aston Villa will be involved in a certain amount of energy in the group stage.

……

After the intense draw for the 2011/2012 Champions League group stage, the UEFA festival has entered the most important part - Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Bale will compete for the 2010/2011 UEFA Player of the Year award.

The host invited the three best players in European football last season, Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi and Bale, to the stage for interviews.

The live TV screen began to show the three candidates' performances in the 2010/2011 season.

In the 2010/2011 season, Messi had a heroic performance at Barcelona.

In the league, Messi has scored 31 goals and provided 18 assists in 33 games.

In the Champions League, Messi scored 12 goals and provided three assists in 13 appearances.

Plus 7 goals and 3 assists in 7 games in the Copa del Rey and 3 goals in 2 games in the Spanish Super Cup.

In the 2010/2011 season, Messi scored 53 goals and provided 24 assists in 55 games for Barcelona. In terms of personal honors, Messi won the La Liga championship and also won the Champions League Silver Boot with 12 goals.

In the 2010/2011 season, Cristiano Ronaldo won the Spanish Copa del Rey for his first trophy since joining Real Madrid.

The Portuguese's header against Barcelona in the final was a masterpiece of the season.

In the league, Ronaldo scored an incredible 40 goals in 34 appearances, becoming the player with the most goals in a single season in the history of the Spanish Liga and the winner of the La Liga and European Golden Boot awards.

Bale scored 13 goals and provided 16 assists in the Premier League last season.

In the English League Cup there are 2 goals, 2 assists.

He scored 13 goals in the Champions League while providing seven assists.

Bale scored 28 goals and provided 25 assists in all competitions in 2010/2011.

Won the Premier League, the English League Cup, the Champions League, and was crowned a treble.

Especially in the Champions League, Bale scored 13 goals, surpassing Messi, who scored 12 goals, and won the Champions League Golden Boot.

He scored a hat-trick in the Champions League final, along with two assists and scored five goals by himself, in a 5-2 win over Lionel Messi's Barcelona in what was the Welsh star's battle of the gods.

This UEFA Player of the Year selection is different from the previous World Footballer of the Year and Ballon d'Or awards, this time the best European player is the first time in history that the votes are voted on the spot, and the winners are then announced.

The 53 media reporters with voting rights voted on the spot, and only selected the best player in their hearts, and there were no second and third candidates.

Then the on-site reporters began to vote.

In the end, Bale unsurprisingly beat Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo to win the 2010/2011 UEFA Player of the Season.

In the final vote, 39 votes were cast for Messi, Messi received 11 votes and Ronaldo received 3 votes.

With the results in, UEFA President Michel Platini was invited to the stage to present the inaugural UEFA Player of the Year winners.

When Bale received the Golden Globe Award on stage and delivered his acceptance speech, Fang Jue also accepted everyone's congratulations off the court.

For Aston Villa, a newly rising Premier League side, the role of developing a top star is crucial.

Bale won the European Player of the Year award and had a huge advantage, not only for Bale, but also for Aston Villa.

Moreover, it is conceivable that in the FIFA Golden Ball Awards selection at the end of this year and early next year, Bale is also very competitive.

After Kaka, Messi and Ronaldo have dominated European football for four years, and the media has been discussing who the first star to break Melo's 'hegemony' will be and from which club.

If Aston Villa can produce their own FIFA Ballon d'Or, break Melo's monopoly.

In a sense, this can be seen as a very crucial step in the real rise of Aston Villa and the golden body of the giants.

……

The front page of Aston Villa's official website devotes the most pages to the news that Bale has been named UEFA Player of the Season for 2010/2011.

The photo of the Welsh star lifting the UEFA Player of the Year trophy also became the most used image in the English media on the day.

The English media was quite excited about Bale's award.

After Cristiano Ronaldo was poached by Real Madrid and left on his transfer, there was an atmosphere of loss and unease in English football.

Top stars are obviously an important factor in measuring the quality of a league.

La Liga is advertised as the first league by the Spanish media, and not only because of the existence of two super giants, Barcelona and Real Madrid.

The existence of Messi and Ronaldo, a pair of peerless pride, is a very key factor.

The reason why Serie A is not as much attention as it used to be is that the loss of stars is a very key factor.

Now, Aston Villa has won the Champions League, and Bale's explosion and rise at Aston Villa have satisfied the vanity of English football and the media to the greatest extent.

The English media began to fight with the Spanish side again, saying that their side was the first league.

……

A day later, Monaco, Stade Louis II.

Aston Villa, the reigning champions of last season's Champions League, beat last season's Europa League winners Porto 3-0 in the UEFA Super Cup.

Gareth. In the first half, Bale received a beautiful ball from Luka Modric, galloped all the way, and scored a lob in the penalty area.

In the second half, after Sadio Mane's shot caused the goalkeeper to get out of his hands, Aston Villa launched a second attack, and Klose set up Suarez's goal in the scramble.

Aston Villa's number seven and number nine scored one goal each in each half, 2-0.

In the final moments, substitute James James. Rodriguez scored a beautiful curling kick for Aston Villa.

Three to zero.

Aston Villa got the beat with ease.

After the game, Porto coach Andreas Pereira lamented the strength of Aston Villa, "For a few years, Europe will be in the shadow of Aston Villa. ”

Fang Jue praised Porto and praised Porto for playing beautifully and worthy of respect.

"The King of Europe! After the game, the Birmingham Evening News made such a headline.
