Chapter 536 Don't Blame Me, Blame Manchester United (Ask for a Subscription Monthly Pass)
January 8.
At the pre-match press conference for the 21st round of the league with Wigan Athletic, Fang Jue responded to the media's questions and questions.
For the first question, Fang Jue did not evade, he frankly admitted that there was a monetary factor in selling Ashley Yang.
However, Fang Jue particularly emphasized that looking at Ashley Young's transfer fee, you can see how hard the team has done to keep Ashley Young:
It's not that Aston Villa don't want to keep Ashley Young.
Nor is it a factor in the attractiveness of Manchester United's players.
If you look at the transfer fee, we have been trying to keep it, but Manchester United are constantly increasing the price, and it is inevitable that we will get it.
Aston Villa really can't afford to keep and can't refuse such an offer.
The implication is that Manchester United are too rich.
This statement can be described as a kind of sophistry.
However, fans really eat this set.
The offer of 26.5 million pounds, if you think about it, is indeed impossible to refuse.
Of course, the most important reason is that Aston Villa's current results are excellent, which is the biggest reason for the fans' emotions.
If Aston Villa's results slip in the future, it will be a different story.
……
For the media and fans questioning who will complement Aston Villa's left side after Ashley Young's departure.
Fang Jue responded from the side.
He praised the team's 17-year-old Senegalese teenager Sadio. Mane.
"Sadio is a good lad and he has an incredible future."
This kind of praise can be said to be very optimistic.
The media captured the implication of his words, Sardio. Sadio Mane is the player who 'succeeded' Ashley Young.
For Fang Jue's statement, the media reacted differently.
Fang Jue said that Aston Villa could not refuse Manchester United's offer, some media expressed their approval, and some media said that this was a quibble, to put it bluntly, it was still open to money.
The Sun criticised Aston Villa for selling players for money, and such a team would never have much of a future.
Aston Villa's local nemesis, Birmingham Club Honorary President David Murray. Sullivan said Birmingham would never sell players for money.
Fang Jue ignored the "Sun", but he responded sarcastically to the remarks of his sworn enemy in the same city:
So, you're waiting to open the supermarket doors in June?
This is directly saying that Birmingham will be relegated at the end of the season.
Directly cursing the opponent for relegation, if Fang Jue treats other teams with such a bad attitude, words and deeds, it may cause an uproar.
However, the two teams are rivals in the same city.
Then there are not so many scruples, this is politically correct, just like Barcelona will curse Real Madrid for losing the title, and Real Madrid will curse Barcelona for being unlucky.
The biggest focus of media attention has been on the young player Sadio Mane, whom Fang Jue is supporting.
'Selling a popular England international for money and counting on a seventeen-year-old, it's clear that some people get carried away by good results. - Guardian reporter James quipped.
Even the Times reporter Duncan, who has always commented on the other party, is quite close and optimistic. Castor is also skeptical: you can't expect a seventeen-year-old to step up and take the lead right away.
……
Manchestershire.
Wigan.
DW Athletic Field.
In the 21st round of the English Premier League, Aston Villa played away against Wigan Athletic.
Loud cheers echoed through the stadium.
Rodalega fished the ball out of the net and ran towards the center circle as he excitedly greeted his teammates.
The camera also quickly gave a close-up of the visiting team's coach's box.
Sendros opened the scoring for Aston Villa with a header in the first half.
At the start of the second half, Quaresma assisted Garethbell for the second goal.
With a two-goal lead, Fang Jue replaced Gareth Bell with a young Sadio. Mane.
Playing in a 'win is decided' situation and there is not a lot of pressure, which helps the young players to play.
However, just five minutes after Mane came on, Wigan Athletic scored:
N'Zogbia set up Rodarega for a goal as Wigan Athletic made it 1-2.
Wigan Athletic's morale was boosted, they saw hope of an equaliser, and the situation on the pitch immediately became dire.
"If Aston Villa is equalized in the end, or even overturned, Fang Jue's replacement of Mane and removal of Gareth Bell will be the biggest failure." Tony Parker said loudly, as if he had been waiting for the joy of picking fault and finally waiting for an opportunity.
"It's not just Fang Jue." Lineker said, "The Senegalese youngster will also be criticized and criticized. ”
Fang Jue praised Mane, the purpose was to cheer up the young man, and at the same time push the young man to the top.
It's a double-edged sword.
Mane's performance is excellent, Fang Jue's vision will be proven again, and the young Mane is more confident and has a better future.
But, on the contrary, both the manager and the players are subject to criticism and questioning.
……
Another ten minutes passed.
The game has come to 83 minutes.
The score on the field was still 2-1 ahead of Aston Villa, but Wigan Athletic's fighting spirit came up, and they once got consecutive chances to shoot on goal.
Aston Villa, on the other hand, were noticeably less sharp in attack than in the first half.
Sadio Mane passed the ball to Petrov, but the two did not form a tacit understanding, and the football was tackled by Wigan Athletic, and the home team almost completed a counterattack.
In the stands at the DW Stadium, Wigan Athletic fans deliberately threw out laughter to tease and irritate young Mane.
"Oooh, Vera is an idiot!"
"Oooh, Vera is an idiot!"
Very simple words and tunes, Wigan Athletic fans sing with joy.
Fang Jue frowned.
Mane worked hard in training and was happy with his performances.
However, after playing, this kid looked a little nervous and cramped.
After Mane got the ball, he didn't show his sharp pace and breakthrough, often choosing to pass the ball to his teammates.
Or, to put it more bluntly, a lack of confidence and a fear of making mistakes.
Is it your own words that put pressure on this kid?
Because of Mane's shy personality, Fang Jue said that directly, intending to increase his confidence in this kid: Boy, you are the person I am optimistic about!
Fang Jue shook his head.
He turned his gaze to Mane, and saw the introverted and shy boy with his head drooping and his face depressed.
Mane's English has improved quickly, and the kid clearly understands what the Wigan Athletic fans are singing.
Obviously, this kid is not in the right mood and state right now.
……
Fang Jue gritted his teeth, he was thinking.
Before the game, Fang Jue found Mane to talk to him and asked him not to think too much and concentrate on the game.
However, it is clear that these words are useless, and even contrary to the opposite effect.
This kid can be a little naughty at times, but, more often than not, he has a shy personality.
At the age of 15, he left his hometown to play football.
There is no other way out but to play.
It can even be said that one person carries the hopes of a large family.
This makes Mane very motivated, working very hard, but at the same time he becomes a loser and sometimes has a lack of self-confidence.
Fang Jue knew very well that ability was not a problem, this kid needed a stick to wake him up and cheer him up now.
So Fang Jue was on the sidelines and roared loudly: "Mane! Mane!! ”
In the second half, Aston Villa's left flank was close to the side of the dugout.
Fang Jue's shouting was loud again, and Mane heard Fang Jue's voice.
Ma Nei chuckled in his heart, listening to the voice, the coach was angry.
I must be disappointed in myself.
The black boy drooped his head.
"Mane!" Fang Jue continued to shout.
A nervous Mane looked up.
Fang Jue made a gesture: Breakthrough! Velocity! Shot!
This gesture is a common gesture used by coaches in training, and Mane can understand it.
"Do you hear me?" Fang Jue roared loudly, "Don't embarrass Lao Tzu!" You're the one I'm optimistic about! ”
Fang Jue pointed to himself, meaning, his eyes did not need to be suspicious.
Then he pointed to Mane, which means, you kid don't believe in yourself, but you have to believe my words.
Mane looked at Fang Jue, he only felt that there was a fire burning in his chest, and he understood what the coach meant:
Score goals, I'll have to rely on you!
PS: Brothers, are there still monthly passes?
