"Alright, kids, give your dad a break." Victoria chased away the children who were pestering Beckham to play.

She and Beckham now have three children, the eldest son is 10 years old in Brooklyn, the second son Romeo is 7 years old, and the younger son Kreuzer is only 4 years old.

After the children left, Victoria asked her husband how it was like on the first day of training.

"Not bad." "There's Luther and some of the lads from the national team. ”

"Deisler and the others also know each other."

Victoria noticed her husband's relaxed attitude when he spoke, and was clearly in a good mood.

"Returning to play in Europe has finally fulfilled your wish." There was some dissatisfaction in Victoria's tone.

Although she also received a lot of resource benefits and nodded to agree to Beckham's return to Europe, Victoria still longed for a life in the United States.

Beckham smiled, didn't say anything, didn't get angry, the old husband and wife, he knew that his wife was just complaining verbally.

Victoria asked her husband what he thought of the young new manager.

Beckham thought for a moment before saying: "It's not like any manager I've been in contact with before. ”

"It's young."

"It looks very energetic too."

"You can see that the players are very convinced of him."

"Luther and I were also amazed when we talked about coaching."

"To be able to lead a promoted polo team to win the La Liga title is indeed very capable."

"However, it will take a while of cooperation to know how it will be...... So far, it's not bad. ”

"Yes, of course it's different, the owner of the club is the manager, but he is the first in football." Victoria Road.

"It doesn't have much to do with him being the boss, it's just the wins and the results." Beckham said.

"You seem to admire him?" Victoria asked.

"Maybe." Beckham shrugged.

Victoria gave her husband a blank look and went out.

After a while, he came back with a looming pink gauze skirt.

"What are you doing?"

"Didn't you say you were going to have a daughter?"

Beckham sighed inwardly, but pretended to appreciate it very much and pounced.

As long as he arrives in a new team, Victoria will be very diligent, as if he has the energy to steal the fish......

……

The evening exercise is over.

Fang Jue kissed his wife's forehead.

Changed into pajamas.

Go to the study, open your laptop and get to work.

He's following and thinking about the team's upcoming Christmas Devils schedule.

There is no winter break in the Premier League.

Not only that, but the Christmas period is the most intense event.

Even the stronger the team, the stronger the opponent during the Christmas season.

The FA has scheduled a lot of big talks around the Christmas period to engage and delight fans.

Aston Villa will travel to the Stadium of Light against Sunderland in the seventeenth round of the league in two days' time.

Then, four days after this game, in the 18th round of the league, Aston Villa hosted Stoke City, the 'city in the sky'.

Then came the toughest schedule.

On December 27, in the 19th round of the league, he was a guest at the Emirates Stadium and faced Professor Arsene Wenger's Arsenal.

On December 29, he returned to his home stadium for the twentieth round of the league against the Reds Liverpool.

Then four days later, on 2 January 2010, the first game of the new year, the FA Cup third round hosted Blackburn Rovers.

On January 9th, in the 21st round of the league, he faced Athletic Wigan as a guest.

Four days later, the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final was played away at Blackburn.

Four days later, in the 22nd round of the league, they hosted West Ham United.

Then, three days later, the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final was played at home to Blackburn.

Then, three days later, in the fourth round of the FA Cup, the opponents are to be determined, and of course, they need to go through the third round of the FA Cup first.

Then, four days later, in the 23rd round of the league, they hosted Arsenal.

Three days later, in the 24th round of the league, away to Fulham.

From December 15, the 17th round of the league will be played away to Sunderland.

In the space of a month and a half, Aston Villa play a maximum of twelve games, averaging one game in less than four days.

With such a high intensity of the game, the players are really physically and mentally exhausted!

However, the FA, which arranges this fixture, also has its own wishes.

As we all know, this period coincides with the Christmas and New Year holidays in the West, which also gives more people time to follow football matches. Whether it's the number of attendances or the ratings, the Premier League's devil's schedule has been consistently high.

And the push of economic interests has also made the Premier League schedule more difficult than in Europe.

In fact, most of the major leagues outside of the Premier League have a winter break at the same time.

From the perspective of climatic factors, the British Isles, which belong to the temperate oceanic climate, enjoy the "welfare" of the North Atlantic Stream all year round. This is perfect for playing high-quality football matches.

From the perspective of cultural heritage, the originator of modern football, the United Kingdom, has long regarded football matches as one of the ways to celebrate important festivals. Scheduling matches on Boxing Day (26 December) after Christmas has long since become an unwritten practice in the Premier League.

In addition, there are two important competitions in the English football league system, the FA Cup and the League Cup, which will inevitably affect the arrangement of the league schedule.

And if the Premier League chooses to have a winter break, then the devil's schedule can only be scheduled in March and April, which will be a bigger test for teams than it is now.

All in all, the Christmas Devils schedule has been fixed and has become one of the most important highlights of the Premier League.

Every year during the Devil's Race, it's a time of upset.

Too often, teams in the relegation zone will suddenly make a comeback as they abandon the FA Cup and League Cup to focus on the league during this time.

Even for a club with a history of bench depth, the Devil's schedule is a huge challenge.

And the most painful thing is a traditional powerhouse like Aston Villa, the league has to be played, and it is difficult to give up the FA Cup and League Cup directly, otherwise it will not be able to explain to the fans.

For Aston Villa and Fang Jue, this is his first devil's fixture in charge of the team.

He also struggled to make the decision to forgo the League Cup and FA Cup.

On the one hand, the team has already reached the semi-finals of the League Cup, and it has reached this point, and after three more games, it has a chance to win the title.

Winning a title in his first season at the helm is great.

In addition, as the oldest club in the Premier League, Aston Villa's fan tradition is very important for the FA Cup, and it is not easy to give it up.

Therefore, in this devil's schedule, Aston Villa, which has a lot of differences between the third-tier battle and the thickness of the bench and Manchester United, Chelsea and other giants, will be very difficult.

……

Two days later, in the 17th round of the league, Aston Villa visited Tyne in the north of England. Sunderland in Wilshire, away to Sunderland.

Before the game, Sunderland's media were optimistic that even against fourth-placed Aston Villa, they could hope to pick up points, or even win.

Cause?

Now no one in Europe knows that Aston Villa is a good man who 'robs the rich and helps the poor'.

As long as they have just scored points from the giants, the next round will be generous to the villagers.

Therefore, in the last round of the league, Aston Villa won Manchester United 4-3 at home, and the happiest people were the Sunderland fans in addition to the Aston Villa fans.

Before the game, when the two managers shook hands, Sunderland manager Bruce Brown. O'Neill held Fang Jue's hand, that attitude was enthusiastic.

Fang Jue even had the illusion that an old cadre led a team to the countryside to send warmth and was warmly welcomed by the village chief.

Damn it.

Fang Jue knew that the other party really took the legend of 'robbing the rich and helping the poor' as one thing.

……

Inside the stadium, Aston Villa's players formed a circle.

"The coach said that this game must be won." Captain Petrov said.

"Take it!" The crowd shouted in a low voice.

"The coach said that he couldn't win the game and walked back to Birmingham."

"Back to Birmingham!" The crowd shouted.

"Wrong, wrong." Abang Laho said.

The crowd also giggled.

"Laugh ass!" Deisler was furious and said, "The coach said that if he hears 'robbing the rich and helping the poor' after the game, we will all be unlucky." ”

……

The camera gives a close-up of the VIP seats at the Stadium of Light.

Beckham, who has joined Aston Villa in training, and his wife and three children also came to watch the game.

The director naturally gave this star family a close-up.

The most interesting thing is that in the main stand of the Stadium of Light, there are Sunderland fans who even unfurl a banner.

The banner reads: Warm welcome to the Vera who rob the rich and give to the poor!

When the Aston Villa fans in front of the TV saw this, they naturally scolded indignantly.

At the same time, their hearts are beating drums.

It can't really be that evil.

At the end of the first half, the score was 0-0.

Sunderland's fans cheered.

The hearts of Aston Villa's fans sank.

At halftime, Fang Jue scolded all the players for being bloody.

"Robbing the rich and helping the poor? Does it sound good? ”

'We worked hard against Manchester United and Chelsea for the win, for the sake of our position in the table, so that we can go to the Champions League next season.

"It's not about working hard to steal points from the giants, and then be a point boy on other teams."

"Listen to the voices in the stands and see what those Sunderlanders are shouting!"

"I'm telling you, I'm angry right now."

"Bruce. O'Neill smiled so happily when he shook hands with me. ”

"You can see why he has that expression."

"I don't want to hear that guy say to me at the end of the game, 'Thank you for your generosity.'"

"I don't want to be laughed at after the game, so give me the game."

"Goal!"

"Keep scoring goals."

"Give me a hard fuck Sunderland's ass!"
