Chapter 410: Engagement (Part II)
Anfield Stadium.
Liverpool fans are partying, red flags flying high.
Aston Villa's players fled in a hurry, and in the footage, Aston Villa boss Randy Murphy in the VIP box. Lerner's face turned pale:
The electronic scoreboard at Anfield Stadium faithfully records the brutal scoreline: Liverpool 7:1 Aston Villa!
It was the thirtieth round of the Premier League, and Aston Villa visited Anfield, and Aston Villa, who had slipped to fifth place after consecutive defeats, were in desperate need of a win, and then they were beaten 7-0 by Liverpool.
This is Aston Villa's fourth consecutive league defeat, after a 0-5 defeat at home to La Liga leaders Ibiza in the first leg of the UEFA Cup, the team's team has lost five in a row in the Premier League, commentator Lineker shook his head and said, "Losing today's game, Aston Villa is already four points behind fourth-place Arsenal. ”
"This is also Aston Villa's previous good record, losing four consecutive rounds and not being opened up by the point gap, and there is still hope of a top four in the league." Eddie. Gray sarcastically mocked Arsenal, "Arsenal are in fourth place now, not because they are doing well, but because Aston Villa have been terrible lately. ”
According to The Sun, Aston Villa boss Randy. Lerner scolded the players after the game, and the team's head coach, Martin Browner. O'Neill was also harshly criticized by him.
However, Aston Villa FC immediately debunked the rumours, saying that The Sun was lying, and the owner did not curse at all, because he knew that the players were even more upset than him.
……
Randy Lerner did not curse, because he could no longer care about swearing, and less than half an hour after the game, the American billionaire received a call from his assistant, and his application to the bank to continue to delay the loan repayment period was rejected.
Landy Lerner immediately reached out to a close friend of his at the bank.
"Sorry, this is the final verdict." The friend regretted to inform him, "We have assessed that it is difficult for Aston Villa to finish in the top four of the Premier League in the current situation, so your offer to guarantee Aston Villa's Champions League broadcast income for next season has not been accepted and will not be adopted again." ”
Randy Lerner was both angry and big-headed, and the previous three consecutive months of deferred loan repayment were happily approved, and Aston Villa's results were also good, which made Mr. Lerner, who had been overwhelmed by financial pressure, very happy, and by the way, he wasted a spare amount of money on hand and invested it out......
So, as it stands, Mr. Landirerner does not have enough money on hand to repay the huge loan, which is due at the end of next month, unless he is willing to sell some of his shares in Aston Villa or other property rights.
……
"Aston Villa have contacted us." Papa said.
"He's willing to sell the club?" Fang Jue asked.
"Americans are only willing to sell a portion of their ownership, and the price is on the high side." Papa said.
Landiller wants to sell 30 per cent of the club's shares to F&P for £45 million......
This is simply wishful thinking, which is still priced at Aston Villa's overall price of 150 million pounds, which is obviously higher than the normal market price, and it is clear that the Americans are treating F&P as a winner.
"He wants to sell some of his shares to cash out and survive the current debt crisis while retaining absolute control of the club."
Soon after, Mr Landiller received a reply from F&P's negotiating team, who rejected Aston Villa's offer to buy the club in small quantities, and F&P only accepted the option to buy Aston Villa as a whole, and sent their latest offer: £70 million to buy Aston Villa.
It's an offer that Landiller clearly can't accept, considering that he spent £66 million when he bought Aston Villa three years ago, and three years on, given Aston Villa's increased brand value and his investment in the club, £70 million is clearly not sincere.
"Bastard!"
"Damn it!"
"I'm just rotting the club in my hands, and I'm not going to sell it to them."
Landilena was furious.
"Do you want to stop the negotiations?" The assistant asked.
"Tell them!" Landiller gritted his teeth, "£140 million, that's the only price we can accept." ”
Assistant: (⊙?⊙) Okay.
……
On March 28, the island of Ibiza was filled with drums and firecrackers.
Spain's most famous tourist island is a sea of delights.
Ibiza FC Head Coach Mr. Fang Jue and Club General Manager Aveline Ibiza FC Coach Patrick. Miss Karina's engagement ceremony took place at the Ibiza Athletic Stadium.
The engagement ceremony was witnessed by family members, relatives, friends, guests, and at least 6,000 fans from both men and women.
"My heart trembled when I saw Papa in a pink princess dress coming, and I felt like I was drunk...... It was my proposal to hold the engagement ceremony at the stadium, this club, this stadium, it was the bond of our acquaintance and love, with so many family, relatives and friends and so many lovely fans to witness together, I was very happy and Papa was very happy......"
Fang Jue didn't know that he was almost in no mood to write this diary, just on the day of the engagement ceremony, an hour before a flight from Lisbon to Ibiza was about to take off. Miss Mendez was informed that the ticket she had purchased had not been successfully issued due to a system failure.
Miss Mendes took out her mobile phone and showed the staff a text message, which showed a message that the reservation was successful.
"Sorry, the fact is that the system did not really issue a successful ticket, and your seat was booked by another passenger."
"I want another class, as long as I have a ticket."
"Sorry, no tickets, they're all sold out."
This is the last flight from Lisbon to Ibiza this week.
An angry Miss Mendes said she would use the law to defend her rights, but that didn't change the fact that she was on the ball in Ibiza on that day.
Miss Mendez was then taken home by her mother to raise the baby, she calculated the time and ran out secretly, and the super agent Mendes was very angry, he was willing to accept this grandson (daughter), but he was not willing to accept the child's father, although Miss Mendes did not actually intend to tell him.
An hour later, the flight, which was almost half empty, departed from Lisbon and headed for Ibiza.
……
April 1st, April Fool's Day.
Fang Jue 'entered' the system lottery, I don't know if it was because of the joy brought by the engagement, this lottery was lucky, he drew a 'copy card'.
Three days later, Ibiza, Arena, the highlight of the 29th round of La Liga, will be played here.
Ibiza hosts Real Madrid.
After passing the Barcelona hurdle in the previous round of the league, Real Madrid are also considered to be the most likely team in Ibiza's remaining league opponents to stop Ibiza's winning inertia.
Before the game, the Catalan media was uncharacteristically praising Real Madrid, praising Real Madrid's outstanding performance after the change of coach, praising the atmosphere in the Real Madrid dressing room, praising the good state of Real Madrid's players, well, in addition to boasting, they also hyped up the previous Ibiza defeat to Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, talking about revenge.
Anyway, it is to express a meaning, now Real Madrid is in excellent form, everything is fine, when will it not take revenge at this time?
The Spanish media and fans were happy, and it was clear that everyone knew that Barcelona were pinning their hopes on Real Madrid being able to stop Ibiza.
Of course, for Real Madrid, there are also reasons to win, they count the two legs of the Spanish Super Cup before the start of the season this season, and they have lost the previous three times against Ibiza, and if they lose to Ibiza again this time, it will be four times in a season, which is too embarrassing for the Galaxy Battleship.
In addition, Real Madrid still has a glimmer of hope of winning the league title, this glimmer of hope is pinned on the basis of their victory over Ibiza, if they can win, Real Madrid will narrow the gap with Ibiza to 11 points, with nine rounds of games left in the league, although the hope of a comeback is small, but, after all, there is a little hope, right?
If this game is lost, it will be said that Real Madrid's only goal this season is to compete with Barcelona for second place in the league......
In this game, Ibiza, who was sitting at home and holding the initiative with a 14-point lead, played very steadily, and Fang Jue discharged almost the same lineup as against Barcelona, and played defensive counterattacks with Real Madrid at home.
In stoppage time, the score was still 0-0.
Even the commentator was already commenting on the conclusion of the game with a score of 0-0, and at this time, the goal appeared.
Real Madrid, desperate to press on the attack, were counter-attacked by Ibiza and Lewandowski made a good run in the box to find a good shot on goal.
After Deisler and Farreco made a wall-to-wall combination, they tried to split sides, but they passed the ball to the middle.
Lewandowski was cleverly interspersed and he volleyed before Ramos cleared the ball!
The ball leapt into the air, passing over the left hand of Real Madrid goalkeeper Casillas and into the net.
……
"Robert. Lewandowski! Robert. Lewandowski!! Dolores, the narrator, exclaimed. He was like an assassin, a true marksman, and he was in the most important position at the right time! Then made the most correct move! It's not an absolute Lewandowski characteristic goal, 1:0! Ibiza is 1-0 up, it's a stunner, it's a stunner, and it's even the goal that decided the league title this season!! ”
"One to zero! Ibiza beat Real Madrid, after winning this game, Ibiza's points reached seventy-seven points, the game on Barcelona's side has ended, Barcelona won, Ibiza is still 11 points ahead of Barcelona, with nine rounds of league games left, Ibiza is making great strides towards the La Liga title! ”
Goal scored by Robert. Lewandowski pounced on captain Deisler, who passed the ball to him, and the two men hugged each other.
Then more Ibiza players rushed up.
"This is Robert. Lewandowski's 19th league goal of the season was also the same for Sebastian. Deisler's eighth assist of the season puts Lewandowski third in La Liga's top scorers, ahead of Forlan with 23 goals and Samuel Eto'o with 21 goals, and behind him with Villa with 18 goals and Messi with 16 goals. ”
"On the assist list, Deisler is in third place with 8 assists, ahead of him is Xavi with 14 assists and Juan Mata with 10 assists, in addition to Deisler and Mata, Ibiza and Alba also have 8 assists and Deisler are tied for third place, and Messi is fifth with 7 assists on Barcelona's side."
The entire Atletico Ibiza stadium, no, the whole island of Ibiza to be exact, was in a state of great cheer and madness.
Ten seconds later, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and Ibiza beat Real Madrid 1-0 to beat Real Madrid four times this season.
Fang Jue waved his arms and rushed into the pitch frantically, and behind him were the equally crazy Ibiza substitutes and coaches, as well as the team staff.
With the win, Ibiza remain unbeaten and lead La Liga, and with nine games remaining, Ibiza is as much as 30 points ahead of fifth-placed Villarreal as they have already secured qualification for next season's Champions League nine games ahead of schedule.
This is also the earliest record of La Liga in the last decade to qualify for the Champions League ahead of schedule.
After the game, the sports media throughout Spain were talking about the game, talking about Ibiza, talking about Fang Jue, and to be more precise, the word 'talking' was more objective than 'praise'.
Fang Jue ignored the compliments, as he was deeply worried about Aston Villa.
……
In the 31st round of the Premier League on the second day, Aston Villa lost 2:5 away to Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United team.
For Aston Villa, after losing this game, Aston Villa with 51 points is ranked fifth in the league, and the sixth place behind them Everton is also 51 points, has caught up, and the most important thing is that Aston Villa is now 7 points behind the fourth place Arsenal, given Arsenal's strong strength and rich experience and luck in fighting for the fourth place in the league, Aston Villa want to snatch back the fourth place in the league from Arsenal who are back in the fourth place in the league, the difficulty can be imagined.
Fang Jue looked at the haggard face of Aston Villa boss Landilena in the BBC5 interview report on the laptop screen, and sighed, and he expressed deep sympathy for this gentleman.
Fang Jue seemed to want to help this poor American and help him get free, he had always been so helpful.
Three days later, Ibiza drew 0-0 at home to Dynamo Kiev in the first leg of the UEFA Cup quarter-finals, and it was an acceptable result for Ibiza, who had just faced back-to-back matches with Barcelona and Real Madrid and were also in injury crisis.
Three days later, in the thirtieth round of La Liga, Ibiza visited Villarreal's Love Song Stadium, this game Reuss returned from injury, substitute German 'Little Rocket' received Mata's pass and cut inside to score, which was also the only goal of the game, Ibiza beat Villarreal 1-0 away.
Three hours later, Fang Fang, who returned home to rest, felt the news, in the 32nd round of the Premier League, Aston Villa lost 2-4 at home to Everton, which is already Aston Villa's sixth consecutive defeat in the Premier League after losing to Ibiza for the first time in the UEFA Cup, after losing this game, Aston Villa slipped to sixth place in the Premier League, in addition, Aston Villa is ten points behind Arsenal, the fourth place in the league, with six rounds left in the league, The difficulty of fighting for fourth place in the league can be imagined.
At noon the next day, Fang Jue received a call from Papa that there was significant progress on Aston Villa's side......
