Chapter 461: The First Close Contact with Ferguson (Monthly Pass 20-21/24 Supplement)

Fang Jue walked towards Zola.

He had a lot of respect for the man.

Not to Zola as a coach, but to Gianfranco as a player.

This is a man who can anoint you with his left foot, no, no, a man who can play the violin.

Chelsea's current captain and temperament John Terry's number is 26, which is known to all.

But why did Terry choose the number 26?

Few people know that the Chelsea captain chose the number 26 because of the closest to Gianfranco Zola in the dressing room.

At Chelsea, there is no No.25 now, and after Gianfranco Zola's retirement, Chelsea announced that No.25 had retired.

Italian, working hard in the Premier League, to be able to retire the jersey with him is a great honour in itself.

Fang Jue said, "A wonderful game, you got off to a dream start, and we had a good result. ”

Zola, who is not tall, raised his head and looked at Fang Jue with interest, he was surprised that there was a Chinese coach in European football, and he was so successful at such a young age.

"I wish we were the ones with the good results." Gianfranco Zola smiled wryly, "Both of your goals were very exciting, especially the first one, I thought it was against Arsenal. ”

Gianfranco Zola is an Arsenal fan, it's already well known, to be exact, Zola as a coach is a Wenger fan.

'Actually, you played very well, you attacked with character, and you were just a little bit away from winning the game, but you were a little bit less lucky. Fang Jue said sincerely.

This made Zola feel a lot better, he shook hands with Fang Jue and said goodbye, and even joked that he would get back on the field in the second round.

"Do you really think they lost because of bad luck?" Ceballos asked.

"Of course not." Fang Jue shook his head, there was only one reason why this game could be won: his team played well!

"You're digging a hole for Zola." Ceballos immediately said that this guy is really bad, if Zola really believes this, the next time he plays like this at Villa Park, it is estimated that he will die even worse.

"Nothing." Fang Jue flatly denied it, his eyes glared, and he was very unhappy with Ceballos's innocent behavior.

Was he wrong? West Ham had 1.5 times as many shots as Aston Villa in the whole game, and the stats speak for themselves, and the opponents really played well.

……

The next day, the sports section of Birmingham's local media Birmingham Post ran the headline: Top of the list!

After two rounds of league matches, Aston Villa won both games to get six points.

At the top of the Premier League standings, there are five teams with six points from winning two games: Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea, Fulham and Aston Villa.

Aston Villa have the fewest goal difference and are fifth.

Of course, in terms of points, they are indeed tied with Arsenal at the top of the table.

It's a very interesting ranking, with the top five teams in the league all from London apart from Aston Villa.

'It's a glory for the London team, but it's also a shame for the two teams in Manchester and Liverpool.' - The Guardian said unceremoniously.

Needless to say, Manchester United and Liverpool have been crazy in the summer transfer market, and Manchester City, which has introduced stars such as Adebayor, Tevez, and Santa Cruz, lost 0-2 at home to Everton in this round of the league, which is indeed a big surprise.

The Daily Mirror used the headline 'Villa people surrounded by Londoners', which is an affirmation and appreciation of Aston Villa.

If Aston Villa fans are still a little worried and lack of confidence in the team with a thrilling own goal win in the first round of the league, the away win over rivals West Ham United in the second round of the league has made Aston Villa fans happy.

Not to mention, after 12 consecutive defeats in the second half of last season, the new season has won two consecutive league games, which has made many fans who are worried about the team's continued decline this season a little relieved.

After experiencing a change of boss, a change of coach, and a big change of players, the league started with two consecutive wins, which is indeed a big surprise.

The Times reporter Duncan. In his column, Castour praised the Aston Villa manager, who believes Fang Jue's second game was a big improvement over the first.

Castour focused on Sadio Mane and Diego, who were featured in the game. Costa.

'Mane's speed is astonishing.

"And the most surprising thing is Diego. Costa, the Brazilian player who spent £1.6 million on Aston Villa, only played ten minutes, but, I bet, this kid was born for the Premier League, he was like a calf, howling......

"It's not yet possible to say how well these two players will perform at Aston Villa in the future, but at least it's a good start, and Coach Fang Jue has once again proved his vision for people."

……

Birmingham's other local outlet, the Birmingham Evening News, followed Abang Lajo's excellent performance, providing a quasi-assist in the first round of the league and another crucial goal against West Ham United in this round, which made Birmingham's media and fans excited.

As a native of Birmingham, Gabriel. Abonlaho has been an Aston Villa fan since he was a child and entered the Villa Academy at a very young age.

This is Vera's own people.

While praising Abang Laho, the Birmingham Evening News did not forget to praise Mr. Coach twice, believing that Fang Jue activated Abang Laho:

Last season, Aston Villa lost 12 consecutive league games, and Abang Lajo also suffered a goal drought of nine rounds of league games.

Of course, there is also a reason for the media to report this, Abang Laho happily revealed in an interview with the media that the coach was very satisfied with his performance, especially praised him, and he was very happy.

Fang Jue responded to this, telling reporters, "I am not surprised at all because I believe that he has the ability, maybe he was in a bad situation last season, but now, he will impress everyone with his goals." ”

Seeing that Fang Jue valued and was optimistic about Abang Lajo, and 'activated' Abang Laho, Aston Villa's media and fans were naturally happy.

In a sense, this also made Aston Villa fans feel quite impressed.

Of course, this is based on winning.

Again, if you win, everything is fragrant.

……

Deisler's goal, Fang Jue was not surprised, the German has such strength.

He was most pleased with the goal from Abang Lajo, the England international's fast, strong body and running like a small tank, but his biggest weakness was his rough technique and poor quality shots.

Technology aside.

It would be a big surprise if the shooting quality could be improved a little bit.

Therefore, Fang Jue was in a good mood.

Ferguson was in a bad mood.

In the second round of the league, Manchester United lost 1-0 away to Burnley.

It was Burnley's first Premier League fixture at home and their return to the top of the English competition after a 33-year hiatus.

Manchester United are unbeaten against Burnley in 41 years with 10 wins and seven draws.

The last time United lost at the Trodemore was in the First Division in 1968.

Therefore, Manchester United's loss to Burnley this time can be said to have broken an embarrassing record.

It is precisely because of this that this defeat also made the English media exclaim 'super upset'.

In the eyes of the media, Manchester United lost this game, Ferguson has a certain responsibility, the old man despised the opponent a little, the evidence is that Ferguson rotated 6 people in this game.

However, in Ferguson's view, rotation is not a reason to lose, because even with six players in the rotation, United are still far better than their opponents, a promoted polo team.

At Carrington's training base, the lights in the manager's office were still on late in the evening.

Watching the footage of the defeat to Burnley repeatedly, Ferguson was a little tired, he rubbed his temples and closed his eyes in thought.

Lack of offensive ability!

This is the most direct reason for this defeat that Ferguson has found.

In fact, this is also the reason why Ferguson is most worried about the current Manchester United team, Rooney has become the new core of Manchester United.

After two Premier League games, Wayne Rooney is indeed the protagonist of the midfield, but Manchester United's attacking power has dropped significantly.

Manchester United's coaching staff warned Wayne Rooney not to drop back too much, but firstly, Rooney's style of play is already like this, and secondly, if he is up front, United's midfield will be even less organized.

will be Lu Xiaopang will fall into the embarrassment of not being able to find a receiver for passing the ball and not being able to find a conveyor in the penalty area.

When Wayne Rooney was paired with Dimitar Berbatov, the Reds were frustrated by the fact that both strikers liked to drop back; It was Irving's turn to start with Rooney, and it was said that the characteristics of the old golden boy Fox in the penalty area should complement Xiao Chubby, but unfortunately Irving's performance was really disappointing.

It would be foolish to judge a player based on two games and Ferguson would not have made such a mistake.

However, Owen urgently needs to adjust his physical and mental state as soon as possible, and there is no mistake about it.

Owen made one substitute and one start in the league, scoring the lowest points on the team.

In the first round against Birmingham, Owen wasted a single shot created by Rooney's "straight chest".

And in this game, he made his starting debut, and Owen slipped Evra's cross from his feet, and even, when he received Brown's cross from the right, he was not tall, but Owen, who has always had good heading skills, also failed to hit the right part this time.

One of the few high-quality crosses in Manchester United's game, Owen can always be in the right position, which shows that his running awareness is still excellent, but he "smells" the ball with his sense of smell in front of goal, but he can't touch it, which is equivalent to nothing.

Owen has never been as efficient at taking chances as legend has been, but counting the warm-up games, he has squandered seven or eight chances in a row, which is by no means normal.

Irving's attitude is positive, with his share of drop-backs and pull-backs, but the loss of pace and lack of technique still make him look timid when holding the ball.

Ferguson introduced Owen because, on the one hand, he liked the experience of the former Liverpool golden boy, and on the other hand, he liked Owen's speed, which could become a hot spot for Manchester United.

However, Irving's speed is not good, and his ability to take chances has also plummeted, which is a headache for Ferguson.

On this very day, the media began to urge Ferguson to buy another striker, with The Telegraph recommending three candidates, Sergio Aguero, Villa and Lucatoni.

Sergio Aguero and Villa are sky-high, and although Manchester United made a lot of money by selling Cristiano Ronaldo, it is impossible to spend a lot of money on the front line this summer after spending more than 30 million pounds on Berbatov last year.

Lukatoni is old and has 'suffered' on Irving, and Ferguson will not take any more risks on the veteran.

So, Ferguson didn't pay any attention to the enthusiastic 'recommendation' of the media.

At this moment, Ferguson is watching an edited video, which is a collection of video footage from Abbon Lajo's game edited by Manchester United's technical department.

Ferguson focused on Abonlaho's performances in the first two rounds of the new season.

The more Ferguson watched it, the more he liked it.

Abang Lajo is often active on the right and in the middle and can switch at any time.

But more often than not, he comes on as a right winger, using his speed to tear through the opposition's defence.

Generally speaking, fast forwards are not very physical, and Irving is an example.

However, Abang Laho's body is strong.

This makes it like a small tank with full power when Abang Lajo starts, and the slightly less physical full-back, even if he hangs on him, can't stop him from moving forward.

Although Abang Lajo also has shortcomings, this is not a player who plays tricks.

But, then again, if Abang Lajo was fast, physically strong, and technically skilled, it wouldn't be Gabriel. Gabriel Agbonlahor, which is Gabriel. Ronaldo, abbreviated as Ronaldo.

That's sky-high.

Therefore, if you think about it carefully, Abang Lajo turned out to be a very suitable candidate, because of the Premier League account book, the price is not cheap, but it will not be sky-high, and it is the explosion point that Manchester United urgently needs now.

……

Manchester United want to buy Abang Laho!

The next day, just after arriving at the head coach's office at the Villa training base, Fang Jue received a report.

"Ferguson has a crush on Abang Laho?" Fang Jue was surprised.

It's not that Ferguson can't take a fancy to Abang Laho, Fang Jue is surprised that there was no news about this matter before, and it was completely unexpected.

"It is estimated that Owen's performance is not satisfactory, and Ferguson has taken a fancy to the equally fast Abang Laho." Steven. Werner said.

"Mr. Clark has informed you to call him back at ten o'clock." Ceballos said.

"I see." Fang Jue nodded.

After finishing the work at hand, Fang Jue gave it to the club's CEO Bob. Clark called back.

Fang Jue asked Bob to reply to Manchester United that Abang Lajo is not for sale, not for sale.

This time it's not for sale in the true sense of the word.

Fang Jue was not very fond of Abang Laho, but after this period of contact and observation, Abang Laho's attitude in training and competitions satisfied him, this is a very hard-working young man.

Attitude matters.

In addition, the speed and impact of Abanglajo is exactly what Aston Villa need.

If nothing else, just speed, Abonlaho can even be said to be the fastest player in the Premier League.

It's also very important that Abonlaho is an Aston Villa academy player, a Birmingham native, and one of the representative players of this team, a team that needs players with such roots.

Therefore, Fang Jue's attitude towards Abang Laho is very clear: not to sell.

Strange to say, although he was also interested in Abang Laho before, he didn't pay attention to it to the point that it was definitely not for sale, and now, the more Fang Jue thought about it, the more he felt that Abang Laho ...... (Steamed buns that someone snatched) are really fragrant.

……

On August 21, 2009, Inter Milan announced that an agreement had been reached with Real Madrid, and Dutch player Sneijder officially joined.

It was also in the afternoon of this day that Aston Villa FC officially announced that they had signed Portuguese star Ricardo on loan from Serie A giants Inter Milan. Quaresma is on a one-year loan with a mandatory buyout clause in the loan agreement.

The transfer (loan) announcement also immediately caused a heated discussion in the English media.

As for Aston Villa's loan move to Quaresma, the English media are generally not optimistic.

Chelsea also signed Quaresma on loan during last season's winter break, but the Portugal international has not been as good as he could have been.

Under the former Portuguese national team manager Scolari, Quaresma's performances have been terrible, and the media and fans have long been crossed.

The British "Daily Telegraph" writer Rory. Smith even made predictions about Quaresma's future at Aston Villa: "Why did he play so well in Porto? Because the manager will pamper him like a child...... Will Fang Jue do this? ”

Rory. Smith's words are quite good, and the live broadcast guest of 5, the famous football critic Tony Parker, directly criticized and said:

Is Fang Jue a fool? This is an almost idiotic recruitment.

This gentleman said unceremoniously, he said that Fang Jue saw people very accurately, and now it seems that it is nothing more than that.

……

Is this guy brainless?

Fang Jue said very unhappily.

He brought in Quaresma, and naturally he had a reason.

Of course, the media can also comment on this, and they can criticize.

However, bastards like Tony Parker have risen directly to personal attacks.

"Aren't you mentally prepared for a long time?" Papa comforted her husband, "Don't be angry, take your breath." ”

Fang Jue snorted unhappily, "I didn't expect to run into the porcelain so soon." ”

Yes, it's just touching porcelain.

Fang Jue understands very well that he and Tony Parker have no grudges in the past and no enmity in the near future, this guy directly fired at him, the fact is very simple and direct, that is, touching porcelain Fang Jue.

This is also a common tactic used by many journalists and media professionals, with the most 'active' in the English media.

I think that when Mourinho was in the Premier League, there were many guys who relied on fighting with Mourinho to gain fame and fortune.

Now, Mourinho's big mouth is gone, and Fang Jue is here.

Although Fang Jue is not a big mouth, as the most popular champion young coach in European football, although his reputation is not as good as Mourinho, the problem is that he is handsome, which directly makes Fang Jue's influence climb a new level.

There is a statistic that after Fang Jue coached Aston Villa, British female viewers watched Aston Villa's games, and the number of searches for Aston Villa and Fang Jue on the Internet increased exponentially.

Talented, good-looking.

That's popularity.

Therefore, it is natural that there will be people who come up to touch porcelain, this Tony Parker himself is also a well-known media person, and he has always been known for his sharp words, so it is not surprising that he looks for Shangjue.

"Actually, that's a good thing." Papa said with a smile.

Papa's theory is very straightforward, rather than letting some unknown people touch porcelain, and a well-known figure like Tony Parker is more appropriate.

"Do you think Mourinho really has a bad relationship with the media?" Papa asked Fang Jue rhetorically, "Don't look at Mourinho and the media often quarrel, in fact, none of them can do without each other." ”

Athleticism aside, market value alone, without media bickering, Mourinho's influence would have dropped by at least half, Papa said.
