Chapter 680: Mr. Golden Ball Front! (Ask for a commuter pass)
After the draw for the Champions League round of 16 matchups.
The media in which each league is located has its own interpretation of this.
"Milan Sport" believes that AC Milan drew Aston Villa, which can be regarded as a winning draw for AC Milan, which only qualified second in the group.
Yes, you read that right, Sport believes that the Rossoneri drew Aston Villa to win the lottery!
Cause?
In the eyes of the Italian media, AC Milan has successfully avoided Barcelona, Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Chelsea, which is a good signing.
'Although Aston Villa are the leaders of the Premier League and are a positive team, AC Milan have a wealth of Champions League experience as a seven-time Champions League winner, which is what Tottenham lack the most. βLe Repubblica, Italy.
"Mr. Galliani, can you tell us what you think about Milan drawing Aston Villa?"
At Milanello's training base, AC Milan vice-president Galliani was blocked by reporters in the parking lot.
Galliani has long been accustomed to such things, and in front of the camera and the microphone, Galliani talks eloquently.
'There is no doubt that Aston Villa are a top team, they have beaten Inter Milan twice in the group stage, but they are not the toughest team to play against compared to other possible opponents.
"The most important thing is that we just need to be ourselves and don't care who our opponents are."
"Don't forget, Milan have Champions League DNA."
Soon, Galliani's remarks were reported by the media and widely hyped.
Since winning the Champions League in Athens in 2007, AC Milan has maintained Galliani's self-proclaimed "Champions League DNA" for the past four seasons:
Serie A has been consistent in European form during the overall slump, with only Inter Milan winning the Champions League in 2009/2010 doing better.
A reporter approached Fang Jue and asked him to talk about his views on the results of the draw.
Fang Jue complimented AC Milan, "We played against treble winners Inter Milan in the group stage, and now we have another team in Milan City, this is a giant team that has stood on the top of Europe seven times, for such opponents, you have to respect them, because they deserve any applause." β
The reporter asked him to predict the outcome of the match.
Fang Jue refused, saying that he never liked to predict anything.

On December 18, in the 18th round of the English Premier League, Aston Villa faced Wigan Athletic away.
In the first half, Ballack set up Sadio Mane's goal.
In the second half, Cuellar went down wide and young centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly headed home.
Aston Villa beat Wigan Athletic 2-0 away.
Aston Villa also extended their unbeaten run to 43 games, surpassing the 42-game unbeaten run set by Nottingham Forest.
Now, in England, only Arsenal's 49-game unbeaten run is waiting to be chased and surpassed in England.
There were three upsets in this round of the league, with third-place Manchester City losing 2-1 at home to Everton; Blackpool, for their part, beat Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 at home.
In addition, in a key match, Chelsea beat Manchester United 2-1 at home.
Ancelotti also indirectly 'helped' Fang Jue.
With Manchester United losing, Aston Villa are already 10 points clear of second-placed Manchester United in the table.
However, Ferguson refused to admit that United had already missed out on the league title, saying that the season is still long and that United's goal of winning the title will not change.
'We were 12 points behind Newcastle and we came back to win the title, so 10 points is nothing. Said the old Scottish man.
In the 1995/1996 season, United regained the Premier League title and did so after trailing Newcastle by 12 points.
Ferguson not only won a big victory in the "psychological warfare" with Keegan, but also slapped Alan Hansen in the face without being favored, and won back the Premier League "with a group of kids".
"I think it's important for Fang Jue to talk to Keegan and share his experience of how to maintain the lead when he is ahead." Ferguson also said so.
This old man owes so much that he has never been beaten, it's really too ...... It's a pity.
Fang Jue scolded.
He wasn't too angry, and if you were serious about Ferguson's psychological warfare provocations, you would have been fooled.
Moreover, Fang Jue felt that the most angry people now must be Newcastle and Keegan, it was more than ten years ago, and Ferguson also opened the coffin and whipped the corpse, which was too much.

December 25, 2010, Christmas Day.
Aston Villa held a press conference to make the official announcement of the explosive news.
Aston Villa have announced that they have reached an agreement with Italian giants AC Milan to officially join Aston Villa from AC Milan for 30-year-old Brazilian star Ronaldinho, a deal that will take effect immediately after the winter transfer window opens.
Aston Villa have signed a three-year contract with Ronaldinho and a final year of first refusal.
At the press conference, Aston Villa manager Fang Jue, club CEO Bob Murphy. Accompanied by Clarke and the club's general manager Byron, Ronaldinho unveiled Aston Villa's number 80 shirt.
The photo of the Brazilian holding the number 80 Aston Villa shirt and smiling happily on his face immediately spread around the world.
Aston Villa and AC Milan and the player have done a good job of keeping the transfer deal confidential, and the media has been speculating that Ronaldinho will return to play in Brazil, and no one expected Ronaldinho to join Aston Villa and come to the Premier League.
"Golden Ball Forward Trident!" - The Times used this headline to report on the impact of Ronaldinho joining Aston Wey.
Ronaldo was the European Ballon d'Or in 1997 and 2002.
Shevchenko was the 2004 European Golden Globe of the Year.
Ronaldinho was the 2005 European Ballon d'Or.
"Imagine Ronaldinho and Shevchenko and Ronaldo forming a trident, these three players add up to 4 Ballon d'Or trophies, 5 World Footballer of the Year trophies, ......"

A day later, in the 19th round of the Premier League, Aston Villa hosted Tottenham Hotspur.
With Ronaldo, Diego. With goals from Costa and Gareth Bale, Aston Villa continued to lead the Premier League table with a narrow 3-2 home win over Tottenham Hotspur.
At half-time, Aston Villa hosted a grand meeting for Ronaldinho.
The Brazilian star wore the number 80 Villa shirt and enjoyed the cheers and applause of more than 40,000 fans at Villa Park.
In the VIP box at Villa Park Stadium, representatives of Nike, Coca-Cola, Danone, Hyundai Motor, Mouxiang and other brands raised their glasses to celebrate.
These brands are the most reluctant to see Ronaldinho return to play in Brazil, and only by staying in the top European leagues and the Champions League can Ronaldinho's influence and market value be maximized.
This is also the reason why these brands are willing to jointly fund to supplement Ronaldinho's salary.
Ronaldinho received the team's maximum salary of Β£80,000 a week at Aston Villa, which is still far from Ronaldo's salary requirements, and these differences are made up by the joint funding of these brands.
Not only that, because Ronaldinho has joined Aston Villa, and the sponsoring brands behind him, Coca-Cola and Danone, are also in commercial negotiations with Aston Villa.
Suffice it to say that Ronaldinho joined Aston Villa, and it was a win-win situation for all parties.
Or, to put it more bluntly, although Aston Villa wants to offer Ronaldo the maximum salary, Aston Villa earns much more on Ronaldo.
According to one statistic, in the very short period of time after the announcement of Ronaldo's Aston Villa shirt number 80 and the release of the new shirt, fan orders for Ronaldo's new Villa shirt No. 80 have reached more than 11,000 pieces.
As for why they didn't sell more, because the stock was out of stock......
