Fang Jue really almost thought that he had come to a mahjong parlor.

He took two steps back.

I looked at the sign in the activity room to make sure I was in the wrong place.

When did the activity room of the training base become a mahjong parlor?

Also, when were these two mahjong tables here?

Seeing that Fang Jue was coming, the players did not panic.

Today is a day off and they have plenty of time for personal entertainment.

"Coach, do you want to be together?"

Gareth. Bell also warmly beckoned Fang Jue to come and play together.

Fang Jue waved his hand, meaning that you should play by yourself.

He can't get angry.

There's no reason to be angry.

Is it wrong for players to gather to play mahjong during the holidays?

Do you want to ban it?

Fang Jue didn't know the answer, and he felt that he might be the only football coach in all of Europe who had faced this question so far.

"How?" Reberto said with a proud look on his face.

Are you still proud?

Fang Jue glanced at the goods, "When did you teach them to play mahjong?" ”

Fang Jue glanced at it again, Gareth. Bale, Sadio. Mane, James. Milner, Ronaldo, Senderos, Diego. Costa, Abonlaho and Van Nistelrooy, eight people, two tables of mahjong, all live.

He gritted his teeth, and his toothache hurt.

"You don't know?" Reberto asked in surprise.

"What do I know?" Fang Jue felt inexplicable.

"I said before that I wanted to promote the traditional puzzle activity in the team, and you said it was very good."

Fang Jue was happy, who would have thought that the 'puzzle activity' you were talking about turned out to be playing mahjong.

You, a Spaniard, promote the game of mahjong within a Premier League team, what an incredible spirit and behavior.

"Don't you think that playing mahjong is a very intellectually challenging activity?" Reberto glanced at Fang Jue with disdain, "This is the quintessence of your China, and you actually dislike it." ”

Hey, hey, do I hate mahjong itself?

Fang Jue leaned over to look.

He found that the mahjong played by these guys turned out to be a specially customized version.

What should I do if I can't read Chinese mahjong tiles?

In order for them to be able to understand the mahjong tiles, this is obviously a special order to order the "European version of mahjong", each card will have a small English mark, in order to remind the person who holds the card this is "Dongfeng", that is "10,000".

It's just the pronunciation of the wind, the pronunciation of Wan, and the pronunciation of the cake, which these guys are not familiar with yet.

Fang Jue glanced at the players who were playing hotly, and shook his head helplessly.

However, he did not stop after all.

Some things are thought in a good direction, and you will find that they seem to ...... Not bad.

It's better for these guys to get together and play mahjong on vacation than to go out to a nightclub or something like that.

"What is this?" Fang Jue picked up a book and looked at the title.

"Mysterious and excellent oriental entertainment - mahjong! 》

Hey, there is even a book that teaches Europeans and Americans how to play mahjong, Fang Jue can't cry or laugh, these guys are really ......

Hey?

Then he saw the author's introduction:

Member of the International Mahjong Union Committee, Vice President of the European Mahjong Federation, President of the Spanish Mahjong Union - Carlos. Danny. Rebeto.

Hiss!

This guy is terrifying.

"Severine!" Ronaldo plays a card.

"Hahaha, huh!" Diego. Costa pushed the card in front of him, jumped up happily, and twisted his butt.

Then, there was an unpleasant sound all around.

"No, no, no, Diego, you don't have a winning hand, you should have a three-of-a-kind, not a seven." Reberto glanced at it and said Diego. Costa is fried beard.

The activity room was immediately lively, and the cheerful atmosphere was permeated. Costa reluctantly pulled money out of his bag.

Fang Jue took a look at it, and each family lost ten euros.

These guys don't have a lot of fun, it's okay.

……

Fang Jue did not prohibit the players from playing mahjong in the end.

He found that Rebeto's move seemed to really relax the guys' body and mind.

The players played mahjong for an afternoon, and then all the 'gambling money' was confiscated and they had a meal together.

As long as these guys don't play too much and are under control, they'll be fine.

In the 36th round of the league, Aston Villa hosted Birmingham.

It's a Birmingham derby.

Fang Jue attaches great importance to this game, and the derby is never warm.

The Birmingham derby, although not as sparkling as the London derby, is not as deep as the hatred of the Manchester City derby.

However, the previous Birmingham derby was not short of sparks.

Birmingham City have been promoted to the Premier League this season, so this is the first time in a few years that a Birmingham derby has been staged in the Premier League.

Prior to Birmingham's previous relegation, the two teams met fiercely every time.

In the 6th round of the Birmingham derby in the 2002-2003 Premier League, Aston Villa lost 0:3 to promoted Birmingham City

Villa goalkeeper Enkelman is the undisputed protagonist.

In the 77th minute, his team-mate Melburg flicked the ball back to the goalkeeper, but Enkelmann misjudged and let the ball roll through his legs and into the goal.

What's even more stupid is that he just hugged his head and cried at that time, and forgot the rule that a throw-in directly into the goal does not count as a goal, and did not appeal to the referee in time.

The hapless Enkelman made history with a throw-in goal and became the biggest joke in Premier League history.

When a gloating home fan ran into the stadium and taunted him and even slapped his hand in the face, the desperate Villa goalkeeper failed to react.

Villa coach Taylor even called it incredible after the game, and the self-aware Enkelman also said: I will be a laughing stock of people.

After the game, the fan who ran into the stadium was sentenced by the court to four months in prison and banned from attending a specific number of football matches for the next six years. Birmingham have also banned him from St Andrews for life.

On 5 March 2003, Birmingham defeated city rivals Aston Villa.

In the 51st minute, Dablin, who had just returned from suspension and returned to play, slid nearly 3 meters near the center circle and tackled Savage, who was in possession of the ball, from the side.

As soon as the two got up, Savage muttered, and Dablin immediately became enraged and slammed his head near Savage's eye, who fell in pain.

The referee, who was close by, saw Dablin's headbutt and showed him a red card.

After Dablin was sent off, Birmingham scored two goals in a row.

Aston Villa also lost the game.

In December 2004, Birmingham played Villa at home, and there was another altercation in this hot derby, only to have Birmingham's bad boy Savage actually put his hand on Villa's Melburg's eye in the chaotic battle.

Although this evil act escaped the eyes of the referee, it was captured by the cameras at the scene, and after the game, all parties condemned Savic, and the official punishment was also given, and the incident sparked a big discussion about the ethics of professional players after the game.
