This bad old man, he can't just catch a sheep when he picks up wool.

Fang Jue had a big fight with Ferguson on the phone.

He's not going to have nothing to do to taunt Ferguson.

This is because when he came to the office, he saw a fax report on the desk.

This is a fax from Manchester United.

Manchester United took a fancy to Ashley Young and asked how much Aston Villa were willing to give away.

Fang Jue was directly angry.

Previously, Ferguson had set his sights on Abang Laho, and Fang Jue directly and sternly refused.

Now, Ferguson has his eye on Ashley Young again, and the old man seems to have made up his mind to poach people from Aston Villa.

Fang Jue directly rejected Ferguson's poaching on the phone.

He bluntly told the old Scottish man not to hit his players' ideas.

The two of them can be said to have quarreled and broke up unhappily.

……

Fang Jue thought that this matter would be over.

On the evening of the day, Ashley Young's agent said to him: "Manchester United want you, I think ......"

"I'm in good shape at Vera right now." Ashley Young said.

"You really didn't want to go to a big club like Manchester United?" The agent said, "This is Manchester United, this is your chance, Ashley." ”

Ashley Young was silent and wanted to say he wanted to continue playing at Aston Villa, but the temptation of Manchester United made him hesitate and kept him from talking.

"Sir Alex Ferguson admires you." The broker continued to persuade.

"When will I be able to meet Sir Alex Ferguson?" Ashley Young interrupted his agent, and he needed to meet with Ferguson in person to be reassured.

Ten minutes later, a call from a space phone card hit Ashley Young's mobile phone.

The old Scottish man sent an invitation to Ashley Young, "Either come to Manchester United and meet the challenge without regrets, or go elsewhere and do nothing." ”

Subsequently, the agent continued to talk to the Manchester side.

Ten minutes later.

"Where's the pen?"

Ashley Young asked jokingly.

This is an agreement to sign with Manchester United.

The temptation of giants Manchester United, Ferguson's personal invitation, and that passionate remark were the reasons.

Of course, there is a small factor, and that is:

United told him directly that they were willing to give him a £100,000-a-week salary.

Ashley Young's current weekly wage at Aston Villa is £45,000.

Aston Villa's current maximum salary in the squad is £80,000 a week......

Fang Jue couldn't have imagined that his players were almost so neatly ready to 'defect'.

……

After the training session on December 22, Fang Jue received a visitor in his office.

It was Ashley Young's agent, Paige.

With a smile, respect but a resolute attitude, Mr. Agent informed Fang Jue that his players were determined to accept Manchester United's offer.

Fang Jue knew that Ferguson would not give up so easily, what he didn't expect was that his players would be persuaded to 'defect' so easily.

There was a rather fierce quarrel between the two sides.

In the end, Byron, the club's general manager, who 'rushed to hear the news', persuaded both sides to calm down.

Fang Jue couldn't keep calm, he directly left a sentence and left after work:

Manchester United want Ashley Young, no way!

"Mr. Page, you can also see that Fang's attitude is very resolute." Byron spread his hands.

"Ashley has decided to leave." "It's just that he doesn't want to get into a fight with the club. ”

"I hope so." Byron nodded, "From my point of view, I'm leaning towards making this deal happen, however, I have to respect the coach's wishes. ”

'I need to have a nod from Mr. Coach and a reason for the club to be universally recognized.

Paige glanced at the other party, and he understood.

"Coach Fang Jue does not agree to release people." Page told Ashley Young, "However, Byron general manager said he would convince the coach. ”

'What they need is the sincerity of Manchester United.' Leaving the Villa training base, Page took out his mobile phone and dialed the number in Manchester.

……

Fang Jue really didn't want to sell Ashley Young.

The young England international's pace and impact have left him satisfied.

Therefore, the anger he felt when he was 'forced into the palace' by Ashley Young's agent, Paige, was not faked.

However, he did not think of selling Ashley Young.

That doesn't mean Ashley Young can't be sold.

The key is what kind of price you want to sell.

Moreover, Fang Jue pondered carefully, Ashley Young's departure was tantamount to giving Sadio. Mane vacates his seat.

This will allow Sadio Mane to significantly increase his playing time.

As for whether Mane can fill the void left by Ashley Young.

Fang Jue had no doubts about the Senegalese kid's natural potential and ability.

His vision is not blown out.

This is systematically recognized.

……

"Congratulations to the host, if you want to claim the 'Christmas' reward now."

"Pick!"

There are systematic rewards for major festivals, which is a small surprise after his level is raised to the [Famous Marshal] level.

Currently, only Christmas and Chinese New Year are rewarded.

And as his level continues to rise, the quantity and quality of holiday rewards will also increase.

【Reinforced Iron Bone】Red.

The so-called [Reinforced Iron Bone] means that after using this skill card, players can reduce the probability of injury to a certain extent on the training ground, and turn evil into good fortune.

The skill card of the red [Reinforced Iron Bone] is valid for two months.

This skill card is a bit hanging.

This is red-leveled, and as the level continues to increase, the skill card will have a longer period of effect, and there is a great chance of reducing the chance of injury not only on the training ground, but also on the playing field.

……

24 December 2009.

Aston Villa's training base.

On the training ground of the first team, Fang Jue's roar could be heard far away.

"Felipe, hurry up TMD!"

"If you don't stop the ball, then take it down for me!"

"Curtis! Behind you is the goalkeeper and his goal, and if you don't stop the ball, you have to keep someone. ”

"Gareth, Turth! You're fast, he can't catch up with you! ”

"David, you have to be tough!"

At the end of the training, the players were tired and panting.

The team doctor and physiotherapy team also hurried into the field, just now on the field for a while people turned on their backs, although the team training was restrained, but, looking at the posture, the staff was really a little worried that it would cause 'accidental injury'.

"What's wrong with him?" Steve. Werner asked, surprised.

Fang Jue has been unusually in the past two days, and he has a great temper in training.

The demands on the players are also very strict.

Moreover, Fang Jue adjusted the content of tactical training, requiring players to strengthen the intensity and ruthlessness of fighting in training.

"I don't know." Ceballos shook his head.

"Do you want to persuade?" Werner asked, he was terrified to watch from the sidelines, and he was really worried that a player would be injured.

"Don't." Ceballos immediately dissuaded, "Although I don't understand, I believe in Fang." ”

"You trust him so unconditionally?" Werner asked.

"Because it turns out that in the end he was always right."

Werner felt speechless.

The rest of the league has entered the winter break and those players are starting to enjoy a good holiday, with only the Premier League still in full swing.

This will have some influence on the players.

In addition, the results of this period of time on the court are good.

Christmas came, and Fang Jue noticed that there was a loose atmosphere throughout the team.

This is what Fang Jue does not want to see.

And considering that it will be the focus of the battle with Arsenal in a few days, the spirit of the team cannot be broken.

Fang Jue's approach is to increase the amount of training and 'torture' the players with almost rigorous training.

Let these guys get tired and out of breath during training, and they won't have the time to think about so much mess.

Let the atmosphere and spirit of the whole team be lifted immediately.

Of course, in order to avoid injuries to the players, Fang Jue had already used the red skill card of [Reinforced Iron Bone].

That's why he's not too worried about players getting hurt.

……

Two days later, on December 26th, the entire Aston Villa team departed for London by bus.

Tomorrow, in the 19th round of the Premier League and the final match of the first half of the league, Aston Villa will travel to the Emirates Stadium against giants Arsenal.

Chelsea are currently top of the Premier League table with 41 points.

Arsenal are second with 38 points.

Aston Villa are third with 38 points.

Manchester United are fourth in fourth place with 37 points.

This game is a well-deserved number one focus battle of this round.

A win for Aston Villa would see them jump to second place in the league.

The tournament was played on the evening of December 27.

Even on this morning, Fang Jue still emphasised scrambling in Aston Villa's training, shouting and agitating from the sidelines.

He conveyed a kind of emotion to the players, and the relaxation that should have been felt during the holiday season and the rebellious mood of this desperate training were fermenting.

This sentiment is intensifying among the players.

Until the day of the game, the away dressing room at the Emirates Stadium was filled with a dangerous atmosphere.

Ibiza's media outlet The Sunday Telegraph has taken a deep look at the young champion-winning coach.

The media was full of praise for Fang Jue.

The newspaper described Fang Jue as having a brilliant mind.

He is very good at cultivating team atmosphere and mobilizing before the game.

The media is right.

Instead of reducing the amount of training during the Christmas holidays, the team has significantly increased the intensity and intensity of their training.

This has made many Aston Villa players a little unhappy.

They think the team is third in the league, the results are good, they have been working hard for almost half a season, and it's Christmas, don't you have to take it a little easier?

It's not that the players want to go against Fang Jue.

It's a normal accumulation of negative emotions.

Until now, the game against Arsenal is about to take place.

Fang Jue felt that the time was ripe.

Before the start of the game against Arsenal, Fang Jue made the final pre-match mobilization of his players in the dressing room.

……

Fang Jue was in the dressing room and said to the players of Aston Villa, who had already changed their jerseys and were waiting to play:

"In the past few days, everyone must have complained to me in their hearts, thinking that I was too strict with you, and that I was too unkind on a day like Christmas."

"Here, I want to say to everyone that you are good."

'It's a high standard of training, everybody has stuck to it and I'm happy.'

"In addition, I want to apologize to everyone."

Hearing Fang Jue say this, the players showed strange expressions, is the coach apologizing for their 'torture' during this time?

"Don't think about it, I'm not apologizing for being strict with you."

"I apologize, I admit, I underestimated you." Fang Jue said, "I thought that someone would be left behind and complain. ”

"But, no."

"Although you are dissatisfied, you have strictly implemented my tactical intentions on the training ground."

"It also made me more convinced."

"I hadn't said why I did that before?"

"The reason is simple, win the game, win the game against Arsenal!"

"It's the last round of the league in the first half of the schedule."

"If we win the game, we will be second in the league!"

'Last season, the team finished seventh in the league and now we're back in just half a season.

"No, to be exact, we do better."

"Better than a lot of people, better than the media and the fans want."

'At the start of the season, those guys didn't think we were going to have a chance to compete for the top four.

"But, what now?"

"Win this game, surpass Arsenal, beat Manchester United!"

"This is where we should be!"

"In my opinion, you are unique and deserve all the applause and honor."

"This game is a great opportunity, a great opportunity to prove that we are unique!"

'Arsenal are only three points behind Chelsea and they want to win the title, this is their turf!'

'They're aiming to win and they're going to give it their all, it's a good opponent to prove what we have to win.'

"Confrontation in a tie for second place."

"This is a real super conversation!"

"Win the game and show everyone how strong we are!"

Fang Jue looked at his players.

"As for why it's such a rigorous, intense training requirement." Fang Jue smiled, "It's very simple, Arsenal is most afraid of such tactics!" ”

"So, these days, all your unhappiness, all your hardship, all your anger." Fang Jue waved his hand, "Let's vent it all to this opponent, this is the Christmas gift that you have worked so hard to reserve for your dear Arsenal at Christmas!" ”

……

Meanwhile.

The other side.

In the home dressing room at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsene Wenger glanced around at his players.

"Boys, in this game, we don't just have to win, we have to win beautifully!"

"Goal! Non-stop goals! Arsene Wenger clapped his hands, "Aston Villa won against Chelsea, won against Liverpool and won against Manchester United, but I'm not afraid of him. ”

"Kill Villa and tell our neighbors that we are the strongest and that the championship is ours."

Arsene Wenger's assistant, Arsenal assistant coach Pat Wenger. Rice looked at Wenger in surprise, the professor has never been good at pre-war speech mobilization, but today's words are really exciting.

The players were also excited, opened the locker room door with a bang, and rushed out.

Wenger pulled a page out of his pocket and glanced at it:

I guess I didn't miss anything.

However, don't say it, this kind of passionate speech is indeed a good atmosphere and feels good.

No wonder the guy who left Italy liked it so much.
