Chapter 538: Aston Villa's Chance of Winning the Championship? (Ask for a monthly pass)

In Senegal, about 3,000 miles from the Villa Park Stadium, in a remote village of Bambali.

It is a brand new three-storey building.

The most intuitive impression of the building is: big.

The footprint is huge.

This means that there are enough rooms.

This is also the prettiest residence in the village.

This is Mane's home.

The kid, who played football in faraway Europe, sent home most of his salary, built a building, and bought brand new furniture and appliances.

There are more than 60 residents throughout the building, including Mane's brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, cousins, cousins, cousins, grandparents, maternal grandparents, and their families.

The kid who went out to play football at the age of fifteen, pursued his dreams, and finally started to get ahead, won the La Liga championship trophy, and now plays in the Premier League and earns pounds, is the pride and ...... of the whole family Long-term meal passes.

Someone in the family gets ahead, the whole family lives together and enjoys the blessings, which is the norm in Senegal, or rather, in the whole of Africa.

For example, Cameroonian star Alexander Brown, who now plays for Premier League giants Arsenal. Surname.

He bought a sports car as soon as he renewed his contract at Arsenal and got a big contract.

Then, a month later, the star sold his luxury car and replaced it with a slightly more modest BMW.

The reason was that he felt that he could not afford an expensive sports car.

Because he has more than two hundred relatives to feed.

Alexander. Song's father died when he was two years old, but he left behind five wives and twenty-eight siblings.

These twenty-eight siblings married and had children, and continued to expand.

He worked hard as a meal ticket for the whole family.

More than two hundred relatives, who do not do anything, all they have to do is call Alexander every day . Song: Hit the money!

It once happened to Alexander. Song Qian was stripped of by relatives, who made a fuss about not having steak to eat, and Fabregas bought a cart of beef for his relatives to send over.

Maybe Manebi Alexander. Fortunately for Song, although his family is also touching his light, he has not completely given up his work, and most of the family is still willing to do some work.

This is due to the fact that Mane has a good mother, and when a mother doesn't want her son to work too hard, she warns the rest of the family, people who don't work, don't want to get money from Mane.

When she is a mother, she really feels sorry for her son.

Although the effect is not good, at least it is somewhat useful, and there will be fewer people who do not work hard and only think about sucking the blood of the horse.

Sitting in front of the TV in the slower-paced city of Bambari, watching the games of faraway England and watching Sadio Mane play has become the biggest event for the whole family.

……

When Mane received a pass from Quaresma and galloped along the way, finally scoring the ball into the Wigan Athletic goal.

The people in the whole living room fell into ecstasy, shouting.

The boys sitting in the front row cheered.

A boy slipped and knelt on the floor, and another jumped into the air and waved his arms in celebration.

A lady looked so happy that she had heard the best news in the world......

Sadio Mane's golden goal sealed the win for Aston Villa.

And Mane – the child of Bambari, the pride of the whole family – is the hero of the whole village.

As a result of the noise heard, more and more locals poured into the room, and the audience in the room ended up exceeding 100 people.

On TV, the black kid who scored the goal was a little dazed.

It is a child who has a phobia of choice to celebrate.

He remembered what his former teammate Freco had told him: when you don't know how to celebrate, just laugh, your mom, your family will be happy when they see your smile.

Then, Sadio was surrounded by his teammates to celebrate. Mane, the seventeen-year-old, smiled and looked a little silly.

In front of the television, a black woman wipes tears from her eyes, and around her, relatives and friends congratulate her, praising her for having an amazing son.

"Thadio. Mane! It was his first Premier League goal for Aston Villa! The seventeen-year-old scored a crucial goal! ”! John. Mortenson said from the commentary bench.

"Yes! Very crucial, very important goal, I want to praise this kid, from receiving the ball, to dribbling all the way, getting rid of the entanglement of the defenders, to passing the goalkeeper, shooting, his performance is impeccable! ”

"We see, there must be one person who is very proud." Morteson said with a smile.

On the sidelines, Fang Jue crossed his hands on his hips, laughing, his expression was extremely proud, but he was terrible.

"This goal will make the young Mane the darling of the media after the game, and it will also make his coach extremely proud and proud."

……

A few minutes later, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the match.

"It's over! Aston Villa finally killed the game with a late goal from Sadio Mane, and they won 3-1 away at Wigan Athletic! ”

'This is Aston Villa's 13th Premier League win of the season and Fang Jue's side continue to win and they are the biggest surprise of the season in the Premier League.

"Ashley Young's departure has worried Aston Villa fans, and Mane, who was handpicked by Fang Jue, used a goal to tell everyone that the coach thought he was the right choice, at least, it was a wonderful game."

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the match, the DW stadium booed.

Only the Aston Villas were excited to celebrate the victory.

'With this victory, Aston Villa have 45 points on their table, surpassing Manchester United in the rankings and points, in addition to equalling Chelsea in points and becoming the new league leaders by virtue of the win-loss relationship.

'However, the Chelsea game, the Manchester United game and the Arsenal game will be played tomorrow, and Aston Villa's top spot may be lost in a few days, and Manchester United will be overtaken by the winner, but, at the very least, Aston Villa are the Premier League leaders for the next 24 hours!'

On the pitch, Mane was the center of attention.

Everyone gathered around to congratulate him on his first league goal.

He saw Fang Jue also walk up.

"Congratulations, Sardio." Fang Jue hugged Mane and patted the little guy on the shoulder, "I said a long time ago, you can do it!" Believe in yourself! ”

Mane nodded vigorously.

……

At this time, assistant coach Ceballos came over with his mobile phone.

"Here you go!" Fang Jue took the phone and handed it to Mane.

"What?" The little guy was a little confused.

"Your phone." Fang Jue smiled and said, "It's your mother." ”

Mane's eyes widened and shone brightly.

"Thadio, is that you? My baby. ”

"It's me, it's me, Mom, Mom, did you watch the game? My goal, I scored. ”

"I saw it, I saw it." In a brand-new building in a small village 3,000 miles away, when my mother wiped her tears and looked at her excited cheering and celebrating, "Everyone watched the game and was very happy." ”

"Mom, are you happy?"

"Happy, happy."

"Did Mom receive the New Year's gift I sent back?"

"Got it, mom loved it." Mane's mother stroked a photo album full of Mane's photos, which he asked his teammates to take for him, "It's the best gift." ”

"I watched TV and said, it's going to snow in the UK, you have to be careful, don't catch a cold."

"Does there a little girl like our Sadio?"

Fang Jue stood not far away, watching this scene quietly, with a smile on his face......

……

In his post-match press conference, Wigan Athletic's Belgian head coach Martinez gave a speech to Aston Villa's youngster Thardio Sardeo. Mane was full of praise.

He admitted that Sadio Mane's goal was the real killing of the game, and Wigan Athletic had hopes of an equaliser before conceding that goal.

Martinez doesn't admit that his team is not doing well, he just thinks they are a little unlucky.

Fang Jue agreed, emphasizing that relegation teams are difficult to play.

Fang Jue said that against Wigan Athletic twice this season, Aston Villa only relied on an own goal of the opponent to win the first leg, and this time it was not easy to win, which shows that Wigan Athletic is excellent.

However, as soon as the topic changed, Fang Jue said that it was precisely because Wigan Athletic was very tenacious and the game was very difficult that it was not easy to win the game.

"I'm going to applaud my players."

"They're doing a great job."

Fang Jue said.

He praised his players and even went out of his way to praise almost every player by name.

He emphasised that winning is a team effort.

Of course, there are also important compliments.

Fang Jue focused on praising Portuguese player Quaresma.

'Ricardo played phenomenally.

"He's got the ability, I've always thought so."

"Today, I'm going to cheer him on."

All three of Aston Villa's goals in today's game came from Quaresma's assist, and the Portuguese man put in a good show with Deisler out injured.

As for Mane, Fang Jue only said a few words when all the members were named, and did not praise them individually.

Fang Jue's aim is to get the media to focus on Quaresma's body, and not to hype Mane too much.

Previously, Fang Jue praised Mane in order to give this kid confidence.

Now, Sadio Mane has scored and nothing is more confidence-boosting than a goal.

In this case, Fang Jue began to think about lowering blood pressure for Mane, and he wanted to protect Mane.

Just like Bale also scored and performed well today, Fang Jue did not praise Bale alone.

He didn't want the media to hype up the young people under his command too much.

As for Quaresma, the Portuguese has gone through the journey of fame at a young age - moving to a big club - returning home disappointed - rising to the top of his hometown - re-entering the big club - being disappointed again - and then coming to Aston Villa.

At just 26 years old, Quaresma's career has gone through ups and downs that many people can't imagine.

What Quaresma needs now is attention, praise, and such a player needs to be high-spirited.

Therefore, Fang Jue is not worried that Quaresma will be praised by the media.

……

Although Fang Jue intended to divert the 'firepower' of the media to Quaresma, he still underestimated the media's attention to Mane.

Fang Jue's efforts failed, and he couldn't stop the media from hyping Mane after the game.

The reason for driving the media crazy is simple.

Sadio Mane set a new record for Aston Villa's youngest goal in the Premier League.

Seventeen years and two hundred and seventy-four days!

This is the age at which Mane scored against Wigan Athletic, and it is also a new record for the youngest player in Aston Villa's Premier League history.

And even if you look at the history of the Premier League, Mane has been able to rank first in the Premier League's record for the youngest goalscorer.

In front of him were:

Macheda, who scored for Manchester United against Aston Villa in 20096, was just 17 years and 226 days old.

Further back, there's Michael. Owen was only 17 years and 143 days old when he scored at Wimbledon in a Liverpool shirt on May 6, 1997.

Then there's Cesc Fabregas, who wore the Arsenal shirt and was just 17 years and 113 days old when he scored against Blackburn Rovers on 27 August 2004.

Then there is Rooney, Lu Xiaopang's battle for fame, on January 19, 2002, he broke Arsenal's goal, breaking Arsenal's 30-game unbeaten streak, Rooney became famous at the age of 16 years and 360 days.

Further back there is Mane's current team-mate James Milner, who was just promoted from youth to Leeds United's first team at the time of 26 December 2002 when he scored against Sunderland, just 16 years and 356 days old.

Among these players, Owen, Wayne Rooney and Cesc Fabregas are all attacking players in the true sense of the word.

Just look at the names of these three players to see why the media is so crazy about Mane.

These talents who can be among the youngest goals in the Premier League have a very high success rate in the future!

……

The day after the match, the front page headlines in various newspapers were given to Sadio. Mane.

This Aston Villa rookie player, who could only be said to be well-known before, has really become famous in a fight.

Aston Villa is a traditional powerhouse in the Premier League, the most commercially successful league in the world.

Mane's goal had a bigger impact than his maiden goal in Ibiza.

Inside Senegal, the country's national television even covered the incident on its most official news program, and the young Mane became a role model for many Senegalese children.

When the media praised Mane, they also mentioned two sentences in passing, praising Fang Jue's vision of seeing people is still so magical.

The following evening, Aston Villa received a succession of good news.

In other matches played a day later, there were upsets:

First of all, Arsenal played Everton at home, and Arsenal was led 2-0 before Everton scored two goals in a row, and the two sides drew 2-2.

Then there was Manchester United, who were held to a 1-1 draw away at Birmingham City by Aston Villa's city rivals who helped hold the Reds back at crucial moments.

The best news is here, Chelsea were held to a 1-1 draw away from Hull City!

Of the top four teams in the league, except for Aston Villa, the other three teams were forced to draw by their opponents and caused upsets.

The media was also stunned, calling Aston Villa lucky.

In this way, after 21 rounds of league matches, Aston Villa seized the golden opportunity:

Chelsea are top of the table with 46 points;

Aston Villa are second with 45 points;

Manchester United are third in third place with 44 points;

Arsenal are fourth in fourth place with 42 points.

The difference between the fourth and first places in the league is only four points, and the four teams are chasing the points tightly, and the media exclaimed that it is rare in recent years.

The Times reporter Duncan. After this round of league games, Castle asked a question in his column:

Do Aston Villa have a chance to win the Premier League?!

This is the first time that the mainstream media in England has raised the issue in the most formal way.

Aston Villa win the Premier League?

Aston Villa are a traditional powerhouse in the Premier League, and their role every season is to be a spoiler at the start of the season and sluggish in the middle and late stages of the season.

Win?

No kidding!

If it was before, when people heard this question, their first reaction was like this.

Now, however, the situation is a little more delicate.

After 21 rounds of the league, Aston Villa is second, only one point behind Chelsea, one point ahead of Manchester United, and three points ahead of Arsenal!

Thinking about it carefully, many people were surprised, and at the same time sighed:

It seems, and it's not entirely impossible...... Yes.

All of a sudden, the topic of whether Aston Villa has a chance to win the Premier League title has become a hot topic.

That night, Fang Jue received a phone call.

"Why did you remember to call me?" Fang Jue received a call from Ronaldinho, he was surprised and very happy, and said half-jokingly, "Have you decided to come to my team?" Hahaha. ”
