In contrast, the Catalan media are defending Barcelona and criticizing the referee.

Madrid's media invariably reported that Barcelona had been eliminated from the tournament under the headline of "humiliating defeat".

Marca focused on Messi's performance.

Despite scoring a wonderful free kick to save a little face for Barcelona, Messi's post-game score was still only 6.8 points, which was the highest score for the Barcelona team, but it was Messi's lowest performance score this season.

Barcelona's superstar was almost completely locked up at all times except for the free-kick goal in today's game.

Aston Villa's players all know how dangerous Messi can be, and as long as they limit him, the balance of victory will tip in their favor.

There was no doubt that Aston Villa's defensive line was perfect in this game, and they allowed Messi to play little in the open game.

The newspaper believes that Messi's lonely performance is a microcosm of Barcelona's game yesterday.

"Marca" also released a photo, in the locker room of Barcelona, there was a distressing scene for many Barcelona fans, Messi sat in the locker room, his lost soul was fully displayed, and the goalkeeper Valdés, who fished out of the net seven times today, stood in front of the goal, looking into the distance with empty eyes.

The newspaper "As" released a heat map of Messi's activities in the game.

For part of the game, Messi's area of activity was 'concentrated' around the centre circle.

The reason is very direct, Barcelona was scored seven goals by Aston Villa, every time Barcelona conceded a goal, Messi had to kick off near the center circle, plus Barcelona had a kick-off chance, so Messi appeared in the center circle eight times.

……

Although neither Marca nor Ace directly criticized Messi, ...... Everyone could see that this was a fall.

The wind began to change, and many media began to follow suit and criticize Messi.

"Where is Messi at a time when Barcelona need someone to step up the most? All we saw was him silent, he spread his hands, he didn't even shout out to boost morale, and on this night of defeat, Messi, Barcelona's biggest star, had no voice. ”

'Bale had one goal and two assists in the game? And Barcelona here? Messi is gone, and even the referee is missing Messi. ”

Listen to the critical voices and skepticism of these media? Who would have thought that just before this game? Messi is still the superstar who has been praised by the media as a flower, and the media has praised him as potentially leading Barcelona to the top of Europe for the second time in four seasons.

Many media and fans bowed to him.

Is this the cruelty of football? A game is life and death, and the king is defeated.

What if this game is won by Barcelona? Barcelona to advance? Then, what will be ridiculed and questioned by the media will become Aston Villa and Fang Jue, and Bale, Messi will continue to be worshipped.

In this case? Fang Jue spoke.

The surprise? Fang Jue, who has a very bad relationship with Barcelona, instead defended Messi:

It's wrong and unfair to criticize one player when the whole team is not playing well, and in fact, I know very well how hard my players and I have tried to keep Messi at bay, even if it's that effort. We were still given a goal by Messi.

Fang Jue defended Messi, which really surprised many people.

"Times" reporter Castul praised Fang Jue as a true gentleman? It's not about people.

……

The quarter-finals of the Champions League are all over.

Aston Villa eliminated Barcelona 9-4 on aggregate over two legs.

In the top half, in another matchup? Real Madrid beat Atletico Greece 3-0 away and 5-2 at home.

Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice in the first and second legs respectively.

To the delight of Real Madrid and Kaka fans, Kaka scored in both legs? There are surprising signs of recovery.

And according to the schedule of the semi-districts? Aston Villa will face Real Madrid in the semi-finals.

Marca happily announced? Cristiano Ronaldo, who is in hot form, with the help of Karim Benzema, who is in good form, and Kaka, who is in good form, have a lot of hope of taking out Aston Villa and appearing in the final at the Allianz Arena in Munich.

This will also be the first time in 10 years that Real Madrid will reach the Champions League final after Zinedine Zidane's out-of-the-box shot to help Real Madrid win the European Champions League.

Asked by the media how do you feel about Barcelona, which has just eliminated Messi, who has the Golden Ball, and is about to meet Real Madrid, which has Ronaldo and Kaka, in the semi-finals?

Fang Jue: I also want to know what Real Madrid will dare to think about when they are about to face (Mr. Golden Ball) Bale.

……

The media is very much looking forward to the battle between Aston Villa and Real Madrid in the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Comparatively speaking, the media is relatively more optimistic about Real Madrid, who are leading in La Liga.

Mourinho's Real Madrid is considered by the media to be the most powerful Real Madrid in the last decade, Kaka's form is back, Benzema is also crazy, Mourinho's Real Madrid has been very stable this season, and once led Barcelona by ten points at most in the league.

In the eyes of many people, this Real Madrid's counterattack ability is even sharper than Aston Villa's, and the counterattack can be called the first in Europe, often a counterattack goal in ten seconds.

Of course, there are also those who are optimistic about Fang Jue and Aston Villa.

The French newspaper Les Les Teams, on the other hand, focused on Aston Villa.

The newspaper reporter David. Copperfield has praised Aston Villa's attacking prowess and prowess.

"Pique, Suarez, Milner, Mane, Papastathopoulos, Bale, Bendtner, Aston Villa's seven goals, scored by players with different names, such an Aston Villa strong attacking ability, simply unstoppable......"

In the eyes of this French media, this is the terrible thing about Fang Jue and Aston Villa.

"Fang Jue's Villa dynasty, which took three years to build, stood at the top of Europe at the new Wembley Stadium in May last year, but that is not a sign of the formation of this team, which has veterans such as Ronaldo, Shevchenko, Ballack and Deisler.

This season, with the departure of the veterans and the arrival of Aston Villa's youngsters, a more energetic team, Aston Villa has continued its success so far, with Fang Jue spending three seasons building a team that can dominate European football for years to come.

Imagine such a terrifying Aston Villa team, which will continue to wreak havoc in European football in the coming seasons, and for many European giants, this is the most terrifying. ”

……

'We don't have any problems offensively, but the defensive side has to be strengthened.

At Aston Villa's top management meeting, Fang Jue set the tone for the team's signings in the upcoming summer transfer window:

Maximise reinforcement at the back.

"How's the situation going on Silva's side?" Fang Jue asked.

"I think it's mainly up to Milan to defend their Serie A title this season." "If Milan can defend their Serie A title, they may delay the window of time to sell Silva. ”

Byron's view is that AC Milan's financial situation is not good, and in this case, selling top stars is the most direct way to monetize, while also saving a lot of wages.

He has his analysis that the Italian economy has been in decline for three consecutive quarters, and GDP is expected to rewind by 1.9% this year.

Berlusconi will not be spared.

In the second half of last year alone, the stock value of Mediaset Media Group, his largest industry, shrank by half.

Therefore, Byron's judgment is that if AC Milan defends the Serie A title this season, Milan's situation may be a little more linked, and Silva will not be sold, but once it cannot defend the Serie A title, it will be a high probability event that Silva will be sold for cash.

'However, as it stands, AC Milan are still leading the league and they are two points clear of second-placed Juventus and look like they have a lot of hope of defending their title. Club CEO Bob Brown. Clark said.

His opinion is that Aston Villa can't be at Thiago. Silva hanged himself from this tree, and he has to consider other possibilities for recruitment.

Bob. Clark proposed two target candidates:

One of them is Manchester United's defender Nemanja Vidic.

The second is Real Madrid's young defender Sergio. Ramos.

Fang Jue opened his mouth, he felt that he was already a little floating, but his subordinates were even more floating than him.

Clarke actually wanted to pull teeth out of Ferguson's mouth and want to poach Ramos from Real Madrid.

Is my Aston Villa already hanging like this?

……

Fang Jue shook his head and rejected Clark's proposal.

He knew Ferguson too well and Ferguson would never have sold Vidic to Aston Villa.

It could even be said that even if Vidic were willing to come to Aston Villa, Ferguson would rather dismiss Vidic than let him go to Manchester United's direct rivals.

As for Real Madrid, Ramos is considered to be the core of Real Madrid's defense for the next decade, and Florentino will not sell it.

Now, good central defenders are extremely scarce, and the top central defenders are like treasures in the hands of major giants, and no one will sell them.

Only AC Milan, who are in financial difficulties and no longer ambitious, could sell Thiago. Silva, that's why Fang Jue chose to poach from the Rossoneri.

Fang Jue only hopes that AC Milan will pull his hips a little and lose the league championship, and he will have a chance to take advantage of it.

He wanted to use some means against Milan, but the system strictly forbade 'spells' on unrelated teams, which made Fang Jue quite regretful.

……

Two days later.

Round 32 of the Premier League.

Aston Villa travel to Anfield to play Liverpool.

In this game, Aston Villa and Liverpool have a 'very tacit understanding', Fang Jue does not take the lead in using Grenou, Diego. Costa also doesn't get mad about his old feelings.

The scene was intense, but it was clean.

Sadio Mane set up Suarez's goal in the first half and Diego Costa equalised for Liverpool.

In the second half, Luka Modric set up Bendtner's goal to help Aston Villa beat Liverpool 2-1.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Fang Jue raised his arms and cheered in celebration.

There was a lot of pressure on him and the whole team in this game, not to mention that the team had just finished the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Barcelona, and they were very tired.

Aston Villa have been held to draw by Chelsea, Arsenal and Bolton Wanderers in succession, and the Premier League's points lead has narrowed from nine points to three points, and there is not much room for error.

"Milan lost to Fiorentina and Juventus overtook it."

The day after returning to Birmingham from Liverpool, Byron reported to Fang Jue on the changes that had taken place in Serie A.

In the 31st round of Serie A, AC Milan was reversed 1-2 at home by Fiorentina, Juventus defeated Palermo 2-0 away, and the Bianconeri surpassed AC Milan's 64 points in the Serie A standings with 65 points.

Fang Jue was quite excited when he heard the news.

The earliest broadcast by CCTV was the Serie A League, because of the Dutch Three Musketeers represented by Van Basten, there are many Milan fans in China, and Fang Jue's father is an AC Milan fan.

Influenced by this, Fang Jue also prefers AC Milan.

However, that didn't stop him from taking a hard bite on the old Italian giants when the time came.

……

Fang Jue gave an order to Byron to formally negotiate with Milan. Silva's transfer talks are open.

Can't hesitate any longer, because Paris Saint-Germain's side is said to be on the move, and with such an opponent who is not bad for money, Aston Villa wants to poach Thiago. Silva is not that easy to do.

The reason is very simple, if Milan wants to sell Silva, it must be to cash out and make money, it must be who gives more money and sells it to whom, in this case, Aston Villa's influence is difficult to match the checkbook.

"Boss, you may need to come out in person when the time comes." Byron said.

"What do you want me to do?" Fang Jue feigned anger.

Byron hurriedly smiled and said, it's not that they are lazy, it's really the boss that your influence and personal charm are too great.

"You, you." Fang Jue grimaced, pointed at Byron, and finally, nodded reluctantly, "Do your job first, and remind me when the time comes." ”

"Great, with your words boss, Silva must be from Villa." Byron hastened to agree and show his determination.

Despite being 'scolded', Byron was in a good mood.
