Chapter 566 - The Most Valuable Reinforcement (Asking for a Monthly Pass Subscription)
What kind of attitude will Fang Jue and Aston Villa have towards this game?
What attitude should Chelsea take towards this game?
These are two questions.
Ancelotti's aides agreed on the answer to the first question.
They agree that Aston Villa are more serious about the FA Cup quarter-final against Chelsea.
Thunder. Wilkinson's reasoning is closer to what the media has said, with Aston Villa now in high spirits.
Since losing away to Burnley in the thirteenth round of the league last November, they are unbeaten in 18 games in all competitions.
Like this kind of dark horse team, the most important thing is this momentum, once you lose, the momentum is lost, and it is likely that there will be a big decline in performance.
In particular, Aston Villa have now made it clear that they want to compete with Chelsea for the league title, and they will pay more attention to the confrontation with Chelsea, and this kind of direct confrontation can establish a certain psychological advantage for the players.
Another assistant coach, Clement, cited 'Fang Jue's character', and the coach, who has the same name as Fang Jue's direct general, said that he had analyzed Fang Jue and that the Chinese coach was actually very greedy.
In Ibiza, Ibiza competed with Real Madrid and Barcelona for the league title, and in such difficult circumstances, they still did not give up the UEFA Cup.
Now, the FA Cup, which has a long history and special status in English football, is obviously also very attractive to Fang Jue.
The greedy Aston Villa manager is likely to opt for 'all-in'.
Ancelotti nodded, convinced by the analysis and reasoning of his assistants.
The first question and the second question are related.
After confirming that Aston Villa would take the FA Cup game more seriously, Carlo Ancelotti made a very bad decision:
In this game, Chelsea will take Aston Villa Liwei.
In the league after the FA Cup, Chelsea's opponent is Wolves, and the strength is very average, which gives Ancelotti and Chelsea 'leeway' to exert their strength in the cup.
……
February 13, 2010.
Stamford Bridge.
Carlo Ancelotti sat in the dugout of the home team, and the good-tempered Ancelotti wanted to cut people.
The game was close to the end and the score was 2-1.
Chelsea led by one goal at home and the Blues all but sealed the win given that there was little time left in the game.
What made Ancelotti feel angry: he had been fooled.
In this game, Fang Jue made a large rotation of Aston Villa.
Ancelotti was stunned when he saw Aston Villa's starting line-up.
The goalkeeper is the 38-year-old veteran American goalkeeper Friedel.
The backline from right to left is Luke Young, Koulibaly, Davies, Wilfred. Bauma;
Midfielders are Petrov, Sidwell, Riocock and Quaresma;
Up front is Thaddio. Mane and Abang Laho.
Aston Villa played almost exclusively on the bench for this game.
Ancelotti's face was black at that time, and that's what Fang Jue said, 'Let's see what happens in this game......'!
This is clearly the posture of giving up the FA Cup, and he has been fooled.
The only thing Ancelotti can console himself with is that Chelsea should have had a relatively easy time winning the game in this situation.
However, he soon discovers that he is wrong again.
What made Ancelotti even more angry and headache was still to come.
Aston Villa, who was almost a substitute, did not show the posture of 'giving up the game',
Aston Villa can be described as a 'trifecta' and have shown a very tenacious and high-spirited fighting spirit.
Frank Lampard scored for Chelsea in the first half.
However, in the second half, Quaresma equalised with a free-kick setting up centre-back Davies.
The two sides are at a stalemate and bitter fighting.
Fang Jue also dispatched troops one after another. Clarke, Albrighton, Oh Haloran and other young players were also substituted in turn.
Young people, although they may be inexperienced, are very motivated.
Ancelotti looked at the 31-year-old Frank Lampard, the 31-year-old Drogba, and the 31-year-old Deco, such veterans who are known for their running and physical ability, and the exhaustion of being 'led' by the young people of Aston Villa, his mood can be imagined.
It wasn't until the 89th minute that Chelsea were led by Didier Drogba to take the lead again.
The final whistle blew as Chelsea progressed to the quarter-finals with a narrow 2-1 home win over Aston Villa in the FA Cup quarter-finals.
The team qualified, but there was no smile on Ancelotti's face.
When he shook hands with Fang Jue, his expression was not good.
Fang Jue felt that the Italian coach was so rude, but he sincerely congratulated Chelsea on the promotion, but the other party had a straight face and was cold.
In the post-match press conference, some reporters questioned Aston Villa's 'bad intentions' in sending an all-bench line-up.
Fang Jue sternly refuted.
He said that in his team, there is no absolute division between main players and substitute players, he chooses players and only looks at the competitive state and physical condition of the players.
The reporter retorted, questioning why it was not up to Deisler and Beckham, Ronaldo, Gareth. Balle and other stars.
Fang Jue said that he sent the most physical players on the field today, which is the tactical requirement of today's game.
This answer turned out to be 'speechless'.
Later, Ancelotti revealed in his autobiography that he wrote a diary about the game:
I saw through Fang Jue's tricks and realised he was going to drain our energy, but for Chelsea it was the only option and in the end, we won the game and I'm proud of myself and the team.
……
Aston Villa lost to Chelsea and exited the FA Cup.
After the game, Times reporter Duncan Brown. Instead, Castur focused on Portugal star Quaresma, who provided an assist in the game.
The journalist praised Quaresma as Fang Jue's most beautiful signing this season.
In the Carabao Cup, Quaresma had two goals and two assists.
In the FA Cup, Quaresma scored two goals and provided an assist.
In the league, Quaresma had two goals and six assists.
You know, except for cup competitions, most of the league games are substitutes.
In this case, Quaresma has given a beautiful stat of six goals and nine assists in all competitions.
Of course, the most important thing is that Quaresma is on loan from Inter Milan by Fang Jue, and it is on loan for free, and even the player's salary is borne by Inter Milan.
It's a blank slate for a star in great form.
On top of that, there is a mandatory buyout clause in this lease agreement.
At the end of the one-year loan, Aston Villa must force a buyout of Quaresma for £6.5 million.
At the start of the season, some media outlets also dismissed Aston Villa's decision to agree to a mandatory buyout as foolish, arguing that Quaresma was unusable.
"Now let's look at the £6.5 million mandatory buyout fee, Aston Villa is simply making a lot of money. Even if they sell Quaresma, they can make a profit. ”
The reporter also revealed that there have been teams that have made an offer that Fang Jue could not refuse.
Fang Jue responded to the matter.
He partly agrees with Duncan that Quaresma has really done well and that this is a great value signing.
However, Fang Jue also dismissed Duncan's speculation that he would sell Quaresma for a big profit.
'Quaresma is a fantastic player and he's very important in my program.
"Yes, Quaresma is not for sale."
"Unless the player wants to go, he'll stay at Villa!"
Fang Jue criticized Duncan for spreading rumors.
Because, the 'offer that cannot be refused' is completely non-existent.
