"Diego, did you know that Ronaldinho is going to join Aston Villa?" Jorge. Mendez asked.

"Ronaldinho coming to Villa?" Costa was so surprised that he shook his head, "I don't know, are you sure?" ”

"It's confirmed." Mendes said, "Transfer talks have been completed, they just haven't been announced yet. ”

Costa was silent, believing that the news was true for Emendes' status and connections in football.

This news made Costa a little injured, Fang Jue just talked to him, and said that he valued him, and then he learned that Villa were going to bring in Ronaldinho.

A big-name star like Ronaldinho will definitely not be on the bench when he comes to Villa.

This is equivalent to Aston Villa's already competitive attacking line, and the competition is even more fierce.

There may be reasons for bringing in Ronaldinho, but that's not good news for Costa personally.

He believes what Fang Jue said that he will be a very important player for Aston Villa in the future, but he doesn't want the future, he wants the present.

Costa feels that his current form and quality are enough to deserve a regular starting position.

He didn't want to wait any longer.

"What do you think?" Mendes asked, "If you want to get more playing opportunities and want to go to a new environment, I can help you run it. ”

"I don't know." Costa shook his head, he still has some feelings for Aston Villa, the team is quite good at the moment, this is a team on the rise.

If he can get a start, if he can be an important part of the team, he doesn't want to leave.

However, the current situation, and the possible impact of Ronaldinho's arrival, made him hesitate.

Saying I don't know represents an attitude.

"Okay, I see." Mendes patted Costa on the shoulder, "I'll keep an eye on you, it's not necessary to leave, but if your situation doesn't improve, I'll do it." ”

Costa gave Mendes a surprised look, "Jorge, I thought you were going to persuade me to stay in Vera." ”

"Why do you think so?"

"You're friends with your boss, and I've heard that Marina has a good relationship with her boss's family." Costa said.

"Okay, that's it." Mendes' face suddenly changed, "Fang Jue, that guy doesn't pay attention to you, some teams are rushing to get you!" ”

Costa opened his mouth, wondering why Mendes was suddenly angry.

Don't look at his peculiar style on the court, but, off the field, Costa is actually a guy with a very good personality and not so perverse.

"I don't know about rushing you." Mendes waved his hand, "But, Diego, there's one thing I want to warn you of. ”

"You say."

'Whether you stay at Villa or leave in the future, don't change your attitude at the training ground and on the field, you have to work harder. Mendes had a serious expression, "My Mendes player, I can't let people say that they are unprofessional, even if we leave, don't make those messy things." ”

"I understand."

……

One of the most important matches in the 16th round of the Premier League is Aston Villa's away match against the Reds Liverpool.

Although in terms of league standings, Aston Villa has 37 points and is the first place in the league, while Liverpool has 19 points and is only ninth in the league, and the points are almost half of Aston Villa's.

However, the media is not overwhelmingly favoured for Aston Villa to win away.

There is only one reason, this game is Liverpool's home stadium, and Anfield Stadium is definitely one of the scariest home stadiums in the Premier League.

In fact, Liverpool has always been a tough nut to crack for Fang Jue's Aston Villa.

In the league last season, Aston Villa won one and drew one against Liverpool.

Judging from the record, it was not bad, but the game was very difficult.

Aston Villa narrowly beat Liverpool 3-2 away in the third round of the league.

In that game, a Togolese player named Salif was achieved.

The Aston Villa substitute took off in the game and scored twice to help Aston Villa claim a valuable victory at Anfield.

Salif was then bought by the Manchester City man for £15 million.

At Manchester City, Salif was in poor form, playing 15 games and scoring a goal the following season, before being sold to Newcastle for £5 million in the following summer transfer window.

The media later jokingly described it as if Salif had put all his football talent in this game in order to sell himself to Manchester City and make Fang Jue a lot of money.

Then in the 20th round of the league, Aston Villa was held to a 1-1 draw at home by Liverpool.

It was Ashley Young who scored for Aston Villa!

Seeing Ashley Young's outstanding performance, Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson stiffly staggered 26.5 million pounds, and after this game, he bought Ashley Young.

In fact, a 3-2 game, a 1-1 game, Aston Villa's two games against Liverpool last season, there was no absolute victory.

Therefore, the media is still more cautious when predicting this match between Aston Villa and Liverpool.

The Guardian even asked a humorous question based on last season's story:

Aston Villa faced Liverpool twice last season, with two players performing well before being sold for a fortune.

Who's going to pay the transfer fee this time?

In addition, there is one more thing to watch in this game.

If Aston Villa can go unbeaten at Anfield, they will surpass Chelsea's 40-game unbeaten run and set their own record of 41 Premier League games!

A flood of media poured into Liverpool.

It has also been officially announced that the match between Aston Villa and Liverpool will be the first time that this round of the Premier League will be broadcast live to the world.

The Great War is already on the verge of breaking out.

For this game, Fang Jue naturally attaches great importance to it.

All of Aston Villa's healthy players were brought to Liverpool by him.

In the last game with Birmingham, Fang Jue made a large rotation, just for this game and Liverpool 'desperate'.

Liverpool, on the other hand, attaches more importance to this game, after the "Team Newspaper" "removed" Liverpool and added Aston Villa to the Premier League BIG4, which has caused an uproar and strong dissatisfaction among Liverpool media and fans.

In this game, Liverpool even has the meaning of 'fighting for honor', and they want to tell everyone with their actions:

Although Liverpool is temporarily down, it is not something that Aston Villa can bully.

In an interview with the media, Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson confidently told the media that Liverpool will definitely be able to win at home against Aston Villa in this game, and he will not accept any other result.

“…… Winning is the goal, my players are in good shape, my team is in good shape, the fans are looking forward to winning, everything says 'ready', yes, this game, we are ready! ”

Hodgson showed such confidence that the local newspaper in Liverpool even used the words 'Liverpool's pride' to describe the manager's determination and confidence, believing that he was a truly proud and proud Liverpudian at this time, with bones and dignity.

Later, Fang Jue didn't take Hodgson's words to heart in an interview, "I don't want to say anything, winning is everyone's wish, he made a wish, it's nothing, it's normal." ”

Fang Jue stretched out his hands to the reporters, "When the game is over, everything will naturally be clear." ”

Fang Jue really didn't understand how confident Hodgson was to say that he would definitely win against Aston Villa.

Liverpool's squad is not weak, with the trustworthy Reina goalkeeper, tough guys like Skrtel and Carragher at the back, leaders like Steven Gerrard in midfield, top scorers like Torres and model workers like Kuyt in the attack.

With such a squad strength, now the points are only half of Aston Villa's, ranking ninth, and you still want to kill Aston Villa?

Fang Jue really wanted to ask Hodgson who gave him such courage......

……

Fang Jue didn't have the heart to have a war of words with Hodgson before the game: this person didn't pose any threat to him, he didn't bother to pay attention.

However, Hodgson was quite active.

Half a day before the game, Hodgson spoke to the BBC and said something to irritate Aston Villa.

'Liverpool are the best at preventing others from breaking records and this night may have saddened Villa, but that's football.'

Fang Jue really wanted to give Hodgson a babble.

Ignore you, are you still addicted?

In the end, Fang Jue still didn't pay attention, he didn't bother to move his mouth, anyway, the game was about to come, and he would see the real chapter on the field.

The lights are on.

On the way to Anfield, the red tide is surging.

The home team Liverpool is red, as is the away team Aston Villa.

So, if you look down from above, you'll see waves of red, like fiery lava, heading towards the brightly lit city of Anfield.

In this game, the local police in Liverpool are also close enemies.

A police car was parked on the side of the road, and three police officers stood in front of the car chatting.

"It's all the French." A young police officer yawned and said.

Liverpool and Aston Villa have no grudges, it was the "Team Newspaper" that caused the incident, which directly provoked the scolding of Liverpool fans and Aston Villa fans, and the smell of gunpowder became stronger.

"Yes, the French are the worst." One of his two partners, a middle-aged fat man, "During World War II, they surrendered first." ”

"French aren't a good thing." Another older police officer, who was tinkering with the car radio, said, "But, to be honest, it's really unpleasant to see the Vera people like this now." ”

"yes, they're still paying us for the players." The youngest officer muttered.
